Should Robin van Persie Be Sold?

This article is sure to strike up a lot of controversy, but I feel it should be said.

No Arsenal fan dislikes "Rockin' Robin", and as an Arsenal fan I cannot say that I am any different. But surely there are at least a few out there who would agree with me when I say he should be sold?

He has one of the best left foots I've seen in my short life, he possesses great technique and vision, and he would be a leading start in almost any team in the world.

But he is VERY injury prone, sometimes greedy, and his football recently shows that he has an ego issue (which is clearly visible when he gets angry at not receiving a pass). He also shoots from ridiculous angles and although they seem close, a pass would be a much better option.

Another reason to sell him is that he is not getting any younger, and we could probably get a lot for him this coming summer.

Also we have four other strikers at our disposal already, and probably a fifth if you count Theo Walcott and his future of being a forward.

I know many will disagree but that's their opinion and this is mine, but he should be sold soon especially as Eduardo is coming back (hopefully) before the January transfer window comes, and he would be an ideal partner to Adebayor to spearhead our attacks.
