If RVP went to... (merapu punya la...)

The chief bods at Football Manager have conducted a state of the art experiment to determine how wantaway Arsenal star Robin van Persie would fare at each of his summer suitors.

Football Manager offer Robin van Persie some sage advice

With Robin van Persie's future having occupied more column inches than the Olympics over the summer and still no closer to being resolved, we've turned to the experts to scientifically work out how he'd fare at each of his purported suitors. 

Arsenal remain determined to keep the disgruntled Dutchman at the Emirates but given he's said there's no chance he'll sign a new deal in North London, this is one transfer saga that could rumble on until deadline day.

With this in mind, the experts at Football Manager have run five experiments on the new Football Manager 13 game to determine how Van Persie will get on next season depending on where he ends up.
