Good Bye RVP!

I don't blame him for wanting to leave but I find the statement lame.

Billy Big Bollocks and all that.

He's kept quiet up until now, I'm glad we finally have an answer wouldn't have wanted this dragged out for the whole summer in the way the club seems to prefer. We know he's not signing, so we're spared a few months of anguish, I don't particularly like the way the club is so hush hush about everything.

Some will say it shows class, other will say it's a way of being deceiptful.

The statement is bullshit. He's leaving for money, simple as that.

Sell the cunt to Juventus.

I can't see how Giroud and Podolski will be able to replace RVP. Okay I haven't seen much of the two play, but from seeing Podolski at Euro 2012 he was pretty shit, and his goalscoring record at the clubs he has been at hasn't been too great. Giroud played great in the French league, but so did Chamakh. The club knew all along that he'd go, can't remember the last time we practically had 2 players more or less signed before the transfer window opened.

And now it comes down to how we manage the RVP situation. Either:
1) Accept who offers the most cash (Man City) and offload him there, without caring how much he'd strengthen them, rather than abroad.
2) Keep him for this season, buy 3 more world class players , and hopefully if we win something , he changes his mind.

Though I doubt we'd sign 3 top draw players, so probably he'll go to City for £30m (less than Andy Carroll, but our board can't negotiate like other clubs, such as Spuds sticking with £35m for Modric until Chelsea gave up. We should try and get £40m by starting a bidding war but that may be lower now)

wouldnt be surprised if they kept quiet to ensure as many season tickets were renewed as possible before they announced it themselves.

The guy has no class, I said so last season when he behaved like a dick against Newcastle and Wigan, acting like Billy Big Bollocks. He's proven it again with this bullshit, disrespectful statement.

this

this crap i love the club and want to win trophies. how he plan to do that by leaving? utter bullshit from a disloyal ****

[Cripps_orig]

Might as well take the money if he isnt signing

1 good season out of 8 and hes acting all billy big bollocks

Fuck him

If he was one of the worlds best then keep him but the likes of Gomez, Huntelaar scored more last season and have done it for more than one season. Both piss on him easy. Even the Real duo of Benzema and Higuain piss on him easy.

RVP

Said this a week ago

People called it a WUM post

I call it a premonition

Me neither, we get this every summer don't we....top player wants to leave, dragged out all summer then he leaves. RVP has just told us what most of us already knew and what we would have had to wait a few more months to find out for sure if the club had their way.

It's refreshing to know what's happening even if it's not good news.

[Cripps_orig]

Also Joker

Was spot on about RVP all this time

Let me be the first to apologise to him

[gunnerrrrr]

This really is unbelievable stuff..i mean a few seasons ago we were a signing or two away from really competing for the league...and within a few years look at the names who have left us..

Cesc, Nasri, Adebayor, Clichy, Flamini, Hleb, Eduardo, Diarra, Toure.

On top of that the so called youngsters who were meant to grow into world class footballers haven't exactly set the world alight .. im talking about Bendtner, Vela, Djourou, Diaby, Gibbs, Denilson.

Finally look at some of the complete recent shockers of transfers or players we have had...Almunia, Chamack, Park, Squlachi, even Asharvin went bad in a big way.

Now we are set to lose RVP, a guy who last season scored 37 goals and had another 15 assist in 48 games.....so basically a guy who to us is invaluable....and he could go for around £15m max!

How can Gazidis justify his pay...since he has been here i have seen nothing but our best players leave the club and contracts run down....this is shocking stuff.

And one final point that fucking useless **** Peter Hill Wood should just keep his ugly fat fucking mouth shut.....its no coincidence in my opinion that RVP released that statement following that fat ****s useless comments in the media...

Oh well we only pay the highest prices in the league to watch our team play football.
