Good Bye RVP!

Deep down, I always knew Dr. Evil was right.

Why the fuck haven't we sold him yet?

Ok, podolski though was signed pretty much in january for this year, way before any statement then so thats one top class striker signed, we were linked with grioud before season over.

We were linked with a lot of french players before the season was over.

Doesn't mean we were going to sign any. We did not sign TWO TOP CLASS strikers before rvp's statement. Whether they can even be classed as such is another matter -I'm sure you've heard of a certain chamakh and his record - but that's not the issue.

I shall refer you to PnG's post again --- capture's my point of view perfectly; need not repeat it in a 100 differen ways.

Unfortunately, that is also an assumption.

As you say, we have no idea what rvp said or didn't say when he had that first meeting.

But there is no point trying to state as fact that he told them he wasn't going to sign a new deal.

Giroud was confirmed as signed on the 26th June. Rvp released his statement on the 4th july.

Those are the facts that we have.

here is an excerpt from his statement: I don't want to go into any details, but unfortunately in this meeting it has again become clear to me that we in many aspects disagree on the way Arsenal FC should move forward."

That was in reference to a meeting held in MAY. The point is, we don't know what the sticking points were! But we can infer that things did not go well.

And here is an excerpt from the club's response: We have to respect Robin's decision not to renew his contract.

So the club was aware and were prepared to accept the differences between the two parties that led that decision. It was not out of the blue!

I guess it's too soon to send a card and a bunch of flowers to joker in condolences?

PNG's post and your point of view that are assumptions and pure speculation.

Are you seriously suggesting that chamakh is at the same level as the two we've signed?

No where does it say that he refused to sign a new contract at that meeting. So again, it's nothing but speculation and assumption.

Also, the club said that after he released his statement, it doesn't mean they knew he wasn't going to renew until after that time.

No, but there is clear indication that AGAIN at this May meeting, there were MAJOR differences -- there was substantial disagreement. Inferentially (not speculatively), the club was aware of the likely outcomes of such major disagreements.

one was top scorer in the french league while winning the title, and the other has 100 caps, scored 40 odd goals for his country. if thats not class then i am so fucking glad you are not in charge of our transfers because you know fuck all

So they're class players with great scoring records. So after RVP has voiced his concerns about the direction of the club and said he's not signing a new deal, we go out and sign not one but TWO strikers. Both with good records and experience too good to sit on the bench. That should have sent alarm bells off in his head because it looks as if the club are trying to replace him.
