Very disappointed by the club for selling our best player to the club directy above us in the league.
All the good work in this window undone.
£24m...we know the club value a title push less than they value that amount. This sucks.

Anyone blaming the club/board for this just isn't thinking.
If RVP doesn't want to stay and sign a new contract then that is his decision and there is nothing the club can do to change his mind.
They've had talks but he still wanted to leave, end of.
Time is short and it's better to get £20+m for him now than let him go on a free.
The money will be reinvested, it's already been said that any buys now will only happen when players are sold.
Van Persie has been with us for 8 seasons and the past 18 months has been his longest injury free period. Would you have given him a new bumper deal 18 months ago not knowing if he'd play more than 10 games in a season??Quote:
This board have a) allowed this situation to come to pass by allowing wenger to deal with contract negotiations
No.
It's not the board or Wenger's fault. We expected a bit of loyalty from him and got none. We offered him massive wages to re-sign but he's not interested.
We are quite rightly selling him. Would you want to hear EVERY SINGLE WEEK about what Robin's going to do next, where he's going to go?? It would create havoc.Quote:
b) shown they are more interested in getting in as much cash as possible instead of letting this player run down his contract and maybe win something with us, with the additions we have made.
This is not the same as last season where we did some mad last minute trolley dash. We have already replaced RVP and signed a second quality striker AND bought a fantastic midfielder.
The player is their shevchenko. The decline of a centre forward is one of the most abrupt and cruel things in sport. Hes shown subtle signs that its not gonna be the same again since march, just like sheva. The move will expose the rest.
He was never going to stay.Quote:

If it wasn't utd it would have been citeh, and tbh I hate both clubs as much as the other so fuck them all tbh.
I think the club have done the right thing to some extent, they've got a good price for a player on the cusp of being 30 who has spent 75% of his career on the injury table.
I've never hoped for your wild theories to be true more than this one.Quote:

One thing to bear in mind is Arsenal create a lot of chances. By playing one striker up front, ANY striker, they're going to score a lot of goals (well maybe not Park/Chamakh). Even that useless **** Adebayor got 30 goals for us one season.
Chilax, we'll be fine.
have a torres season :pray:
we got 24 million for him? :lol:
