One injury and he will be behind all the other strikers in that team and then what RVP?! You are not going to stroll back into the team with fans screaming your name, you will be sitting beside a nasty lesbian counting your cash. You couldve been an Arsenal legend and all you did was ruin your legacy.
:fingers:
Predictable really, this is the reason we signed Podolski and/or Giroud, we pretty much knew he was on his way (you can read this club like a book).
A big loss without a doubt, we lose a guy who has shown he can score goals and our best player and bring in two strikers who will take time to adapt, whilst I think they are good signings losing RVP is a bad thing for us.
We need some investment in the team and fast.
Oh well. Bit of a shame but we've been used to this most summers now (a major player leaving). Hopefully we'll get a minimum of 20 million and re-invest that into the squad.
Pretty much, I always suspected this, usually we just sit on our arses and watch everyone else spend. We'll get some money for him and this will cover much of what we've spent....what a surprise :oQuote:

also confused as to why he released this statement when there's still another round of talks with gazidis in 2 weeks time, as he mentions, when gazidis is back from holiday? van persie's still on holiday from his euro 2012 antics, so he's not even been discussing with our board since that meeting at the end of last season.
it's totally out of the blue and one can only say he has been managed poorly by his agent, but the buck stops with robin, and it's a terrible decision tbh.
:lol: Pull the other one, they knew this was coming...they signed Podolski and Giroud after all....do you really think they would have if they hadn't know about this and the possibility of cashing in again.Quote:

We disagree in how the club should move forward so I'll probably decide to leave in order to make sure the club doesn't move forward? I don't understand players, we all easily see through what they say so just say, you want to go. You're going to get booed to fuck anyway so just say what you really feel.
It's simple really, he wants to win trophies, having had talks he clearly feels that's not going to happen with us.
A fair decision to be honest.
