Robin van Persie: Staying Arsenal for a Long Period?

It is a good sign for the club and for the player too. Of course, he is still to find his best form and the reality is that he has suffered numerous injuries until now at his stay at the London club. However, Robin Van Persie seems to have been better this season. He looks now to be fit and healthy. So, there is some discussion going on about his future- whether he is going to stay in Arsenal or leave the club. It seems that he wants to stay here for a longer time.

Insistent money was not the stimulus for his decision, Van Persie said he was waiting for assurances about the club's ambitions having now gone four years without a piece of silverware.

Arsenal's run of five months without defeat looks to have reassured the striker who, despite saying that meetings to date had left him feeling optimistic, will hold off on talks until the end of the season at manager Arsene Wenger's request.

I think that Van Persie has to understand one thing is that at Arsenal, he is almost assured of a place at the first eleven if he is fit. He cannot think of the same in another top club in Europe.
