Van Persie signs - Melo doesn’t
Gunnerblog —
... July 8th, 2009 Let’s start with the good news: Robin van Persie has signed a new long-term deal with Arsenal . Van Persie says:“My heart is with Arsenal and I just can’t picture myself in a different shirt. I just can’t see it now because I love this Club so much. If you look at the last five years, look at the steps I have made every season, if you look at the support the Boss and the whole Club gave me, the fans gave me, my team mates gave me – this is the right decision.” One does get the impression that Robin is a player very much committed to the Arsenal cause. ...

... In better news, after weeks of reports that confirmation of his new deal was imminent, Robin van Persie finally put his Jan van Hancock on the dotted line, and signed a new long-term deal with the club. The deal is rumored to be worth about £80,000/week, which puts him on par with Cesc and Adebayor as the highest paid players at the club. The club is understandably quiet about such matters, but that sounds pretty realistic to me. It’s always a bit dangerous to sign someone coming off a career season–Robbie stayed healthier in 2008-2009 than he had ever managed ...

Goonerholic —
I was going to start by saying that there can’t be an Arsenal fan who won’t be delighted by the news that Robin van Persie has put pen to paper and extended his Arsenal contract. Who am I kidding? A good friend is one who would take me to task for that particular assertion. For now though I have to say I am personally delighted we have secured the Dutchman’s services after a season in which he has largely avoided the injuries that had blighted his career to date. Four consecutive ‘player of the month’ awards on the official club site this winter were a just reward for his ...

Players close ranks and are swiftly followed by the board
The Beautiful Groan —
... And that is how it should be at a top club. What we don’t want now is for first team players to start moving on before we’re ready to let them go. So it is superb to see that so many of our players are being tied down to long term contracts – Ramsey, Gibbs, Fabianski and Wilshere have all extended their deals so far, and were yesterday joined by Van Persie, probably the one player with a contractual question mark over him when the close season began. ...

It was in the papers last week but you cant be too sure until it’s on Arsenal.com so I’m delighted it’s all done and sorted now. Robin said he couldn’t imagine himself anywhere else and is hungry to win trophies at Arsenal. He said in one interview that his desire is high and he would not have stayed at Arsenal if he thought we were not going in the right direction. ...
