Have Arsenal impressed RVP enough?

The biggest transfer story of the summer will no doubt be the will he won't he regarding Robin Van Persie. The Arsenal number ten has endured seven trophy-less seasons with the Gunners and although the skipper may feel it's right for him to move on, Arsene Wenger has reportedly offered the striker a £130,000 a week contract which in itself is extremely generous and would smash Arsenal's conservative wage structure, to boot, Van Persie would be given a whooping £5 million  signing on fee. It is clear that Arsenal want to keep their prize asset and for people to suggest the North London club would be 'willing' to cash in on his services seems odd to me. The Dutchman would cost over £25 million minimum before bonus' if he pens a new deal to the club itself if he agrees the offered 3 year deal. It wouldn't just indicate that Arsenal can at last hold on to their best players when faced with endless amounts of money but that Van Persie has been sold the ambition of the club for at least 3 more years.
The question I'm asking here though isn't whether Van Persie will sign or not but if the signings Arsenal have currently made are enough to keep him at the club and maybe more importantly keep him happy.
     Arsenal scored 74 goals in the Premier League last season to put themselves in a stand alone third in terms of goals scored, that may well be some way behind Manchester's dominant duo but comfortably ahead of their London counterparts. If you listen to popular belief Arsenal had a fairly good season, Robin Van Persie was firing on all cylinders, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott showed exciting promise and Wojciech Szczesny cemented himself as a top quality Premier League goalkeeper for years to come. The problems though do not lie within the attacking force that Arsenal have possessed for a long time. Last season injuries hampered the Emirates Stadiums defensive line and it opened holes left, right and centre that couldn't be adequately plugged by a Wenger squad that had a worrying lack of depth. While Arsenal do have quality in pockets it's been common knowledge for a few years now that Arsenal are lacking a solid brick wall at the back, linked with Chris Samba, Scott Dann and Gary Cahill this time last season Arsenal went out and bought a rookie in Carl Jenkinson before panic buying Per Mertesacker and Andre Santos after an 8 goal demolition by Manchester United at Old Trafford.
         Wenger has gone out and spent before the official transfer window has even opened, from an Arsenal perspective it's encouraging yet unexpected because there is no better word to describe Wengers transfer dealings as sporadic. Two smart signings have been made already, Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski have been signed up with M'Vila a distinct possibility, this begs the question that is signing competition/cover for Van Persie the best way to win him round? For me Van Persie and co did quite a good job at scoring last year and the errors came defensively when it really mattered. So, has Wenger got his priorities wrong or has he put plans in place early for an expected exit?
