Good Bye RVP!

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Yes, he is a huge fucking ****. 1.5 good seasons out of 8 and he is now a superstar. AW, PHW or whichever motherfucker is out there needs to be straight up with him and the fans "We are looking to get 25-30 million for him and if we do not receive an offer in that range by July 15, then he will see out his contract". Whats RVP going to do? If he sulks, next season, no one is going to get an asshole like him hitting 30s and with only CC games under the belt OR he could raise his game, just so he can sign a huge pre-contract in January (and this can only be a good thing)

I just hope AW does not buy into his crocodile tears and begs the board to lower his price ala Fabregas. I will lynch AW myself!

im dumbfounded at the fact he says we do not share the same vision in moving forward, yet we signed an experienced german world cup star and ligue 1's top goalscorer last season. if that doesnt show intent then i dont know what will?

im also annoyed at the fact we are going round in f*cking circles EVERY season. we build some sort of team, then a big star wants out. we go back to square 1 and have to build again. you will NEVER ever win trophies that way because you need consistency and long term vision within a core group of players. just think about the number of world class/high calibre players we've lost every summer over the past few years, it's no coincidence our glory days where when we had all our top players fighting together (vieira, henry, bergkamp, campbell, cole etc). now they all leave and its destructive.

i think ive realised we're a selling club and always will be. players dont trust wengers vision and dont see themselves winning trophies here.

That's just it though, isn't it?

We are not going to get £30m for a 30 year old in the last year of his contract. Probably not even half that.
All his statement has done is make his position untenable, forcing a move in this window.

What a massive, massive dick he is.

Fuck off, Robin.

Someone get Juventus on the phone...

Fact that club had no idea this was coming tells you everything about Robin's intentions. Round my way we'd call him a snide ****.

[Marc Overmars]

It might not just be about signing players. He said they disagree on many aspects about the club.

He could even have lost faith in Wengers ability to deliver success.

What these "aspects" are we don't know obviously but what is clear is that he doesn't feel like Arsenal is the right club for him anymore - that is the root of the problem, unfortunatley.

He's not the first and won't be the last.

They bought 2 strikers this summer. The club knew

I do not know if him coming out with a statement is a good thing or a bad thing. Bad obviously for what you mentioned but good coz at least we have clarity on July 3 that he wants to leave... there is no point getting 12 million quid for a player like him. It's our way or the highway. He can see out the last year of his contract and put in an effort. He can sulk and fuck up his career or he can keep it up like last season, decision is his. He is not as young as Cesc where if he sulks all season, he will still get a good contract, he is hitting 30 and no one will sign a POS injury prone **** who sulked his way through his last one year.

The ball is in AW and the board's court. Go hard on him muppets. For once, show some cojones!!

actually i think its the complete opposite. i think they got giroud in knowing rvp was off but maybe it was a last throw of the dice to persuade rvp to stay too.

wengers comments last week defending rvp for his euro 2012 performances make sense now; supporting him even when everyone else criticised his performances, showing the father figure he is, and what robin wont be getting if he moved elsewhere. the board and wenger would have known robin had serious thoughts about leaving for some time now, but whether they did enough to keep him is another story.
