Fab to RVP: Quit Arsenal, or maybe not...

Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas could earn the ire of Arsenal fans as he urges Robin van Persie to quit now than later.

Van Persie has just 18 months left on his deal with the Gunner but has put contract talks with the club on hold until the end of the season.
 
"At his age, if he wants to move it will be his last chance and if he wants to stay he will stay and retire at Arsenal," said Fabregas of the 28-year-old Dutchman.

"I don't know if they will keep him. It is his decision," said the former Arsenal captain who left Emirates Stadium after a protracted transfer saga in the summer.

Van Persie is disillusioned with the departured of Fabregas and Samir Nasri to Manchester City which leaves the club worried that their talismanic captain could be the next big name to walk out. 

Fabregas said: "We will see what he decides but he's been very loyal to Arsenal for a few years. He is a key player, the fans love him.

"He is the role model of Arsenal, the star player and they cannot afford to lose him."
