Good Bye RVP!

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

the funniest part is some of you thinking wenger is still going to sign another striker on top of what we already have. absolutely no chance.

if rvp goes, giroud is main striker and podolski back up. theo will also get more game time up top.

if rvp stays then we have 2 strikers (him and giroud) battling for 1 position. podolski gets less game time up top. in fact i doubt he'll even feature as a striker. theo also stays on the wing.

From page 19 onwards. I haven't got time to repost everything. It goes on for a few pages. It's not as if you can't read.

Yes and no. I mean, they would have known there was a distinct possibility, and in all likelihood, the gag on RVP was until Giroud had signed.

Though, I do think they hoped he may change his mind.

As it is, he effectively burnt all his bridges with the statement (which I thought was a pretty low blow for someone of his percieved good character).

And as far as the club go, it also shows that we're not as willing as some might want us to be, to keep him. We keep saying, he's getting on a bit, and if he wants a four year deal for big bucks, it seems ridiculous to pay him over the odds if he is likely to get less and less playing time in two years time.

It's forward planning by the club. Which we should actually be happy about, rather than moaning about it.

Doesn't mean that we don't need further options up top though, so lets just hope that all of it is sorted as quickly as possible.

This. Pretty much encapsulates how I view the situation.

If this was a replacement signing, and everyone was aware he was leaving, then I don't see the point of his released statement, or rather the tone of it. Rocking the boat would have been redundant and counterproductive and I suspect something happened during the 'crunch' talks.

It would be truly bizarre if the only forward we didn't sell this summer was Park.
