I haven't cared for months. I'm not surprised and I don't blame RVP if he wants to leave.
Podolski's here already and is a natural No.9. We shouldn't be fooled at him playing on the left for Germany, its just that Klose and Gomez are higher in the pecking order for CF, Pod will be brilliant there for us if and when he plays there.
As long as you get a decent replacement. Look at Atletico, Aguero gone, Falcao in.
Looking at Nasri's situation last year, Nasri said he wanted to leave at the start of the summer. Wenger wanted to keep him even on the last year of his contract, after admitting that 'you cannot be a big club if you sell 2 of your best players' in the same summer, rumblings/rumours of a disagreement with the board, Stan flew in and Nasri went. So I think RVP already made his mind up a long time ago and has been gagged while we're trying to get the best offers and renew those season tickets, preferably abroad than to City, RVP just spoke of Juve being a great team.
Van Persie won't move to Citeh or any other English clubs.

Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood has revealed that Arsenal will not break the bank to keep hold of star player Robin van Persie.
The Dutch hitman has been in imperious form this season, notching an impressive tally of 30 Premier League goals on his way to becoming PFA and FWA Player of the Year, and has attracted interest from champions Manchester City, Italian giants Juventus and wealthy Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala.
The forward still has one year remaining on his contract at the Emirates, but despite holding contract talks with manager Arsene Wenger before reporting for Euro 2012 international duty with the Netherlands, the 29-year-old's future still remains unclear.
“He is vital to us and has been an extremely good captain,” Hill-Wood told The Sun.
“But if somebody comes along and offers Robin £250,000 a week then I am afraid we cannot compete with that.
“With players, you never know what they are going to do.
“Some players say they want silverware but when they have the chance to earn *extraordinary money that has been pumped into the game, then you just have to hope they will stay *because they are happy and loyal where they are."
Van Persie joined the Gunners back in 2004 for just £2.5 million and has since taken the mantle after the departure of Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, and although Hill-Wood insists he will not make alterations to the club's strict wage structure to keep the Dutchman, he is hoping Van Persie's loyalty will be rewarded with a Premier League winner's medal next season.
“There are players like Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes at Manchester United who have been loyal to one club but players like that are few and far between," he added.
“Hopefully we can reach *agreement with Robin and ideally he will extend his contract.
“We have already brought in one new player in Lukas *Podolski and I believe we will bring in more. I am confident we will, in fact.
“I just hope that Robin will be with us next season because I genuinely feel we can make a real challenge for the *Premier League title.
“We had an atrocious start to last season but we recovered to finish third which was a marvellous achievement when you look at the problems that we had with *injuries.”
Hes gone
The loyalty cr*p PHW comes out with is just that, Giigs and Scholes have been loyal but they've been winning trophies regularly, bit harder to be loyal to a team with no chance of winning.
As for PL winners medal :lol: what planet does this guy live on :lol:
He's so out of touch it's unbelievable. He's like one of those old school High Tories like Harold MacMillan.
Sell him and promote Bendtner to first choice.
He's already shown that he's past it judging by yesterday's game, tbh. It's time to cash in. :coffee:
