Good Bye RVP!

And that he wasn't allowed to sign the players he wants.

Who does he think he is. John Fucking Terry!?!

He must have noted how successful it was last season.

No reason to call Wenger a Smelly Garlicy French **** though.

This article has RvP at training but wanting his future sorted out before we fly out on Saturday, with Juve as being a likely destination. It also poses the questiom as to whether we should play hard ball a la nasbo and look for max £ most likely Citeh in that case.

It doesn't matter who offended who or who broke unwritten rules, RvP is history and its time to move on with what we have.

I read somewhere that Juve were coming back with an improved offer 15-16 mil and we ight be wise to take that and invest it back in the team

Carrol going to Barcodes will make Ba available and it may be wise going for him, get MVila and a AM, Dempsey cheap experienced - I would say that be a good summer and I do think we need back up GK and FB but may not have enough wonga

I agree with everything you say. No way should RVP go to Citeh. It not only strengthens a direct rival, but it says to players that we might not be able to prevent them leaving, but we will damn well decide their destinantion if there is any power for us to do so. RVP is gone - if he wants out for trophies, then he can fuck off to Italy...or he can hand in a transfer request and lose a shed load of money...or rot in the reserves for his final year, therefore lowering his value. There is pressure that the club can bring to bear on this one.

And I was only thinking last night that we should bid for Demba Ba. A Wenger type player if ever there was one, and the fact that Pardew is even considering taking Carroll back speaks volumes about what Ba has said to him.

i would much prefer rvp to go to city for two reasons - firstly he would either not be playing every week in his preferred position or would have to play on a rotational basis.

secondly, city are not rivals or direct competitors.

Strange logic. RVP + Citeh = stronger Citeh more able to take points off us and attract even more of our players. Not so Juve.

RVP playing out of position hardly makes them significantly stronger plus his lack of progression would be funny.

and let's not kid ourselves, man city can and will pick up our best players whenever they want.

city will stay above us for quite some time, so let's worry about the spurs and liverpools of the world.

I'll say the same as I did when they bought Nasri last year. If RvP goes, we lose a good striker. If he does not go to Citeh, they will just buy a different good striker. Either way, Citeh get a good striker, we lose one. From our perspective, it doesn't matter which way.

[Fist of Lehmann]

We like to keep things in house but we didn't in regards to RVP's case. Look back on the statements from the club and you'll see the same subtle hints from the club and then you should ask the same thing. Whose the message for and what's the intent behind it.

I could ask that, but I'm not writing War and bloody Peace.

The point of that paragraph was this: companies don't like their employees talking publically in a negative way.

Choosing to step publically out of line like this is sybolic, a signal of intent that he is no longer unwilling to adhere to the contraints of his contract or it's code of conduct.

If you want to condemn or condone the club's handling of this situation and it's own conduct, go right ahead.

I haven't touched on that at all.
