Van Persie's Contract Extended

Sweet!

Robin van Persie very recently penned a new long term contract with Arsenal, reported to be worth around £80,000 a week over five years.

Van Persie was quoted saying in relation to our direction for the coming season, "There is ambition. I have spoken to both the boss and (chief executive) Ivan (Gazidis) about it," he continues, "I trust him and my message to everyone is: be patient, trust the team and the people above."

There's a good feeling surrounding the Arsenal camp and I think RVP's contract extension is fantastic seeing that Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey and Kieran Gibbs have all extended their obligations to the Gunners over the summer as well.

Wenger doesn't seem to concerned in getting more players at the moment and I am slightly concerned. So far the only addition to the squad is Thomas Vermaelen, the Belgium defender. I hope there's more to come though.
