Gunners want RVP compensation

Arsenal want mega compensation from the Dutch FA for the ankle injury suffered by Robin van Persie. The Gunners goal ace damaged ankle ligaments during Holland's friendly against Italy in November and is not expected to return to action until April. "We are working on this with our lawyers at the moment and we are definitely going for it," revealed Wenger. "I expect financial compensation for the damage it can make to the championship and the salary involved. It is especially frustrating to lose your players for the rest of the season in a friendly game." Wenger claimed an amount had not yet been decided upon although some are suggesting a figure of around £10m. "We have to sit down with our lawyers and advisers to see what we can do. I don't know the rules well enough. But definitely we will go for compensation," he added.
