 | | Wenger to Van Persie: The bitter pill I have swallowed17.08.2012 |
Arsene Wenger has admitted that the loss of Robin van Persie, who joined Manchester United is the most bitter pill he had to swallow.
It is interesting that this is the first time that Wenger put his players in "the Red Devils" and his big competitor - Sir Alex Ferguson.
"This is a new pill to swallow. We swallowed and others and have always survived, "said the Frenchman. "But Robin scored 30 goals for us in the Premiership last season, winning practically every game."
"I would prefer to sell him elsewhere, as PSG than Manchester United. He is an extraordinary player in the truest sense of the word, I have not seen many in my life who had this quality of first touch, which are so technically gifted and have the intelligence of movement in the last 20 meters. "
"Unfortunately, there are economic realities and the desire of the player. There is no other way but to let him go. To lose a player of the class of Robin's hard, but there's a hole to fill. Now it's about who wants to take advantage of his chance," added the Wenger.
