With Speculation continuing to mount regarding Robin Van Persie’s future, rumours are coming in thick and fast about who would replace him. It appears that Real Mardrid are amoungst the interested parties and could be willing to do a swap deal involving Karim Benzema.
Almost five years younger than Van Persie, some might say that Benzema possess the potential to give more to the team in the future, whilst others are adamant that we must keep Van Persie, even if he may not be able to offer us as much in the long run. After all, van Persie has a track record with injuries, one knock now could affect the rest of his Career. This is why he is possibly trying to stall contract talks, he wants wait until after the Euro’s are finished and assess the situation then.
Anyway, please participate in the Poll below and let me know your thoughts, would you do a straight swap, a player + cash deal, or nothing at all? As always I am very interested in what you all have to say so please feel free to elaborate on your answer by commenting below.

Im not sure, depends on benzema’s mental qualities. If he has a slack attitude, then no because RvP is a fighter and is Arsenal through and through. It would be difficult to replace his leadership and never say die attitude. Rather than replacing him we should get rid of the dead wood and supplement the squad with some quality. we need 2 world class players but other than that all our buys dont need to be world class. we need guys who are good and can do a job for the team.
