Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
Fuck all this shit about owing anybody anything.
It would just be nice to see ONE FUCKING PLAYER from the club that has made his name here, actually be loyal, and want to stay, FOR ONCE.
Fed up with these mercenary ****s.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
It would be nice...but we are in 2012 here. Loyalty doesn't exist any more. Only money.

CL football was delivered via team effort, not just RVP's goals.
He didnt score against west brom, which was arguably the most vital game for us to win at the end of the season.
1 great season does not repay 7 years of warming the injury table
Actually, yeah fuck it.
I agree with this!
I don't think RvP would leave just for money like some of our players have.
He might want to leave to have the experience of playing for a different club, going to a club which could win more trophies. I think that's reasonable enough.
At some level they're just employees, we'd all leave our jobs if one came long with better prospects (and yes, OK, more money). I'm not sure how much anyone owes anything.
Purely financially he probably has repayed it though tbf. We did only buy him for what, £3 million-ish after all.
Exactly. I don't think he owes us anything and I don't think we owe him anything either. I understand why he might want to leave because on a professional level it makes sense. Just like it did with Fabregas. It might be a bitter pill to swallow but I'm not sure if Arsenal is seen as a destination for the very top players anymore.
I'm sure RVP is not money motivated, the best players want to go to the clubs with the best chance of success, by definition these days that also means the richest clubs as well.
I fancy him to stay now we've sealed 3rd but I wouldn't be surprised if he says thanks but no thanks.
This is something that really grates with me.
I know we have plenty of issues at the club, but we could be winning trophies.
The whole team are guilty of dropping the ball in games throughout the season, RVP included, but if they could just change their mentality, they could go the extra mile and win.
I really dont like the idea that its ok for a player to leave to win trophies, when they are partly responsible for the lack of trophies at their current club.
I think a lot of that is fair enough but...well, coming back to the employee comparison. If you're at a company and you're working your socks off but the people around you aren't up to it and the company don't seem to be doing much about it then what do you do, stay and keep doing your best despite feeling that the company as a whole aren't going in the right direction or doing all that can to succeed?
The Norwich game was an example. RvP scores 2 goals to give us vital 3 points and then his colleagues go and bugger it up. I can understand RvP being frustrated in games like that.
