I don't know, I asked him why he was trying to stick his arm into the bottle bank. He said he did not see it. :shrug:

LOL if he does do a 180 and decides to stay, then he clearly cares only about the money; he's 100 times worse than Nasri, does genuinely care about trophies which is why he left.
I still say we sell the ****, and use the money to buy a more reliable, younger player. Let's be honest, RVP is a mediocre player who's had one good season in 8, apart from that he's been no better than journeymen premiership players like Andy Johnson. Fuck him.
This is becoming a farce.
It's a tricky one in judging his ability. This '7 years of injuries/averageness, 1 great full season' stuff kinda misses the point - the last 18 months is the level RVP is at now. He's not going to go back to being a bad player. He might get injuries I guess but you take a risk like that on all players. At the same time I also don't think he'll have another season where he'll bang in 30+ goals in the league.
He'll get good numbers - better than Giroud or Podolski probably will - but I think his purple patch in the middle of the season when he was knocking those volleys in from all angles...that goal+ a game ratio I don't think can be maintained. But he's obviously more than just goals and that assurance of quality hold-up play and attacking threat is probably worth a lot.
