I joined Arsenal to play with Robin van persie - not replace him
I can play with everyone, also with Robin van Persie.
I know Robin van Persie very well and he is a great person and I have a lot of contact with him over the phone and text messages.
Robin Van Persie is a sensational striker and one of the best in Europe.
Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie are two of the best strikers in the league and the reason I came to the Premier League was to play against people like them.
Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney are both outstanding players.
For a 20 year old the gap from Holland to England is massive. That's a fact. Not all players are able to settle in directly from day one. I remember even Van Persie needed two, three years but he became Van Persie.
I want to move to one of Europe's best clubs if I leave Rotterdam, just like Robin van Persie and Kuyt did before.
It's special - when you start playing, you are aware of names like Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie; you have seen them playing and know what great players they are. So it's fantastic to have a chance to line up with them. I'm really pleased with how that understanding has started off.
I think a player like Van Persie can play for every team because he's a top player.
Instead of speaking about Real Madrid, Mr Wenger should speak about Arsenal and explain how he lost 2-0 against a team in the Champions League for the first time [Braga]. The history about the young kids is getting old now. Sagna, Clichy, Walcott, Fabregas, Song, Nasri, Van Persie, Arshavin are not kids. They are all top players.
There is no club in Europe that wouldn't want Van Persie at centre-forward.
Michu and Van Persie are similar. They look alike. They are both tall, left-footed players. They are not fast, but they know when to make the runs.
When I joined Chelsea, I had to replace Petr Cech. I still talk to him today; he's a friend.
My dream is to play for Arsenal, I've always said that and I believe I have everything that a keeper needs to play for Arsenal.
Many young players tell you that they want to play for Manchester United or Arsenal. My dream was to play for Arsenal and I realised it. When I arrived, I thought: 'Wow, I'm here!'
It was hard to leave my boyhood club Arsenal, it's still my dream to play for Arsenal, but I know I have to put that on hold and go and play abroad to get some experience in Germany.
