Good Bye RVP!

[forsberg2110]

I will be pretty dissapointed in RVP if he decides to leave, given how we helped develop him into the player he is and stuck by him through all his injuries. But if he does decide to leave its really our own fault, how have we managed to get one of best players into his last year of contract again?

I am sick of players deserting their clubs claiming they need trophies to match their ambitions. There is nothing ambitious about what players like nasri have done. They are a nobody within their club and contributing little towards any success the club has. They are just people taking the easy route through their career.

Surely becoming a legend at your club is more memorable and rewarding than any shiny medals you might win.

That would make sense to any football fan ..But to a player, no matter who he is ..its all about the $$$$$...Players dont care about the fans or the club.

There is a 99% chance RVP leaves, the is really no point to discuss this any further...AFC is run by economic majors and selling Rvp for 20 millions is all they care about.. When Rvp leaves the rest will follow

Its going to be sad watching Arsenal battle for the middle of the table,for the years to come, but atleast the owners will still be making money

Plus we still haven't sorted Theo's contract. Another summer of speculation and tension. But this was all said last season when we had the Nasri and Cesc speculation but nothing was done about it.

What is Vieira up to anyway. He doesnt give a shit about Arsenal retaining its best players - he is one of our main rivals' development officer ffs. I think his comments to the media today are calculated to undermine our club and unsettle our best players so that Man City can poach them. I wouldnt trust him one inch.

Every summer its the same, why do the club allow contracts to run out like this? Gazidis isnt up to the gig. We have Bendtner on 52k a week, yet we allow RVP, Nasri etc contracts run down?

Why is anyone surprised that RVP hasn't signed yet? If we are to challenge again, we need a couple of decent signings. We've done one of the 3 things we need to do to keep RVP at the club. Hopefully, Wednesday saw the club avoid insulting him with a derisory pay offer. Now in a sense the club needs to forget about RVP and secure other signings before RVP returns from the Euro's. I'd include Walcott in this, as he seesm to be a key teammate for Robin. Personally, I hope he is not prolific at the Euro's and this shows him that its Arsenal's set up that makes him a goal machine.

As for why we 'let' our players run their contracts down...I think we have to understand that this is not caused by board incompetence. Last Summer was incompetent in that the manager failed to judge the situation correctly with the 2 pricks who left, but is not the norm. As a club we are capable of signing top talent at the junior end - because we have a reputation that is almost unique among CL stalwarts of giving them a chance to play regular first team football. But we are hamstrung by our inability to win silverware, and in a horrible catch 22 when it comes to our best players leaving. So players hedge their bets because they se us treading water, and are then easy pray for richer, more successful teams. Realsitically, only trophies will result in our best players not allowing the RVP thing to happen.
