Robin van Persie (Dutch pronunciation: ['robIn van 'persi] ( listen); born 6 August 1983) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a forward for Feyenoord. He has played over 100 times for the Netherlands national team. He made his senior debut during the 2001-02 season, which culminated with victory in the 2002 UEFA Cup Final; he was also named as the Dutch Football Talent of the Year. After five years with Feyenoord, he fell out with manager Bert van Marwijk, and he joined English club Arsenal in 2004 for PS2.75 million as a long-term replacement for compatriot Dennis Bergkamp.
2004-05 season
On 17 May 2004, Van Persie signed a four-year deal with Arsenal for PS2.75 million, just over half of Feyenoord's original asking price of PS5 million. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who planned to convert Van Persie from a left winger to a centre forward as he had successfully done with star player Thierry Henry, said of his new acquisition, "He can play on the left side of midfield, as a creative player behind the main strikers or as a target man." Arsenal had further padded their stable of strikers in January by signing Spanish forward Jose Antonio Reyes, leaving the two to battle for playing time. Van Persie made his debut and won a trophy in the process, as he came on as a substitute in the 3-1 FA Community Shield victory over Manchester United on 8 August 2004. Van Persie spent most of his time on the bench during earlier parts of the 2004-05 season, and made his competitive debut on 27 October by scoring Arsenal's opening goal in a 2-1 League Cup win over Manchester City.  He was sent off for the first time, however, in an Arsenal shirt on 26 February during a 1-1 road draw with Southampton, following a lunge at left-back Graeme Le Saux, for which Wenger was seen yelling an obscenity at Van Persie from the sidelines. He then later lambasted his charge in the press. "I do not support Van Persie today, but he did not look out of control at half-time. When the referee has sent off a home player, he is under pressure, so, if any player had to behave, it was him." Meanwhile, Telegraph sportswriter Clive White described Van Persie in his match report as "21 going on nine."  Van Persie was consequently benched for a number of games, starting with Arsenal's upcoming replay in the FA Cup against Sheffield United, and he was reintroduced into the squad only after Henry was out with a calf injury, and his return to the first team saw him score twice in a Cup semi-final win over Blackburn Rovers. He came on as a substitute in the final and scored one of the penalties in the shootout as Arsenal beat Manchester United. The end of Van Persie's season was disrupted by injury, and he finished with ten goals in 41 appearances in all competitions.
