I don't believe he's after a huge wage packet at all, unless he's essentially trying to say he'll only leave us if he can get a ridiculous contract elsewhere, but otherwise he's happy here.

According to the Guardian, Man City are going for RVP. Having read Vieira saying that Arsenal must hang onto him, Id be surprised if Man City were to go for him (bearing in mind that Vieira is their development manager and therefore directly involved in their buying policy). If they do go for him it would show what a complete **** Paddy has become ( essentially taunting us in the press).

Actually its dies instead of goes but i dont want RVP to die.
Still not over Sir Jacks death
The cycle will always continue.. Buy no name young player, turn them into stars then sell them.. We are the fucking Ajax of England. Just a feeder club to the big clubs
Tbf, Ajax has actually won the CL and are successful in their country
What Vieira says is spot on though and what he said was twisted by the media. He actually said we can't afford to let him go because it would be bad not what the papers said.
End of the day Wenger fucked up big here should never have let this happen and he can't be defending for this. Plain and simple its bad management to let this happen.
I disagree. Had Wenger offered a contract extension to Van Persie over a year ago, he would have been nuts. Van Persie was injury prone and it is not until the end of the season just gone that we got a full season out of him.
Yeah come on we've been here before, how many times have we been caught with our pants down regarding contracts. The only ones we have long contracts that never seem to running for are the players we don't want and noone will pay for.
RVP should still have been offered a new contract last season IMO, he's always been a top talent, injuries have been a problem no doubt but you can't afford to lose players like him on the cheap as replacing them would cost a fortune.
A year ago - there would not have been many takers. Offering a contract extension then was not the attractive proposition for us that it appears now with hindsight.
and yet the likes of Denilson, Bendtner, Rosicky etc were?
