If he stays, great! Hopefully it's a wake up call to Wenger and the Board. They can't continue down this road and expect players to go along with it. We need something to wake them up and this is how it's done, fair enough.
It would be great if he stayed for the sake of the team but I'd still feel a little indifferent towards him. Honestly if there's a chance of keeping him I would just bite the bullet and do it because I don't think we can replace what he brings to the table, we'd almost certainly be worse off if he left, unless we really push the boat out in the transfer market which is unlikely.
jesus i had just gotten over the furore of rvp leaving and now people say he might be staying.
if he leaves i dont think wenger will sign another striker and having had time to think about the situation, i dont think he should; we have giroud and also podolski who can play up top. i think our plan was always to buy podolski and stick with one striker, mainly because podolski can double up as a second striker. having three strikers (i.e. podolski, rvp and giroud) makes little sense because the third striker would hardly get any game time. even when we're chasing the game wenger rarely plays 2 up top, i can only remember a handful of games he's changed our formation. he usually replaces the second DM we have with an AM so another striker would not get much game time at arsenal. rvp leaving doesn't alter our plan because giroud simply comes in to take his place, leaving us with a main striker (giroud) and podolski (who doubles up).
the interesting part will be if rvp decides to stay as it'll be a dilemma for wenger; he'll have to keep all the players happy and give giroud significant game time. will he change formation? im not sure.
the more i think about it the more the signing of podolski is a master stroke; a winger who can double up as a striker, all for just £12m. on top of that he has shed loads of international experience. credit to the board.
Meh. I'm not sure I want him to stay any more. His statement was a bit twattish and has made me think a bit less of him.
The fans would soon come round if he did a U turn I guess.
