Last three representing games played, goals scored and assists.

yes he was injured during key periods, but when he played he invariably produced.

But he was always injured so that comes in to it

i was wrong, i was conviced he was staying. thought he was better then that

I hope this is a wake up call for you about how the club is run and our ambition. You can't of our best players walk out every summer and still believe it's because of the players, the problem is at the club and until things change I see this continuing.

Perhaps we'd have half a chance of winning the Champions League 2 seasons ago if he didn't get sent off by being a **** against Barca (the first yellow card was pure petulance even if you think the second was soft). How about the semi final against Chelsea in 08-09, when he disappeared and we lost? Or the Sunderland match this year in the FA Cup, when we didn't see him do anything of note?

RVP is as responsible as anyone for our lack of success over the last 5 years. This is not even mentioning the countless crunch matches he has missed due to injury (including the Carling Cup final against Birmingham, where he was a passenger for the second half due to injury).

He's a bottler, and if he does go to City I can see him being shown up by players like Silva and Aguero who have performed when it really mattered.

[Özim]

He'll have 200,000 ambitions a week at his new club.

and a few medals no doubt, don't think he'll be too sad when he looks back just like most of the others that have left.

[Cripps_orig]

Let's be fair it was pretty obvious to anyone who see's things as they are, only those who still believed things are going to change (after 7 years of the same sh*t) believed otherwise, I guess those people will never learn just like Wenger.

Pretty much

My favourite RVP Goal ? Probably the one against Southampton or the one against Blackburn in the 05/06 season.

Too soon to do the favourite thing yet

Let him die first

yes he was injured during key periods, but when he played he invariably produced.

His record against the top teams and in the most important games is crap though. It's all well and good scoring hattricks against Wigan, but top players score at the crucial moments in a season (like Aguero's crucial goals at the end of last season).
