The club has its issues that need sorting yes, but we've done some proper business in the transfer window for a change. Yet the guy wanted out from the start it seems.
There were stories about his attitude within the dutch camp this summer as well, which I was inclined to believe then and even more so now.
Been reading that Man U are favourites for his signature. Look I don't want RVP at the club anymore than the next man but we really should not be selling him to Man U, it really would be a major kick in the teeth if we do.
Maybe if he does we could get Diaby to do the same thing he did to John Terry (if he actually manages to stay on the pitch long enough that is)Originally Posted by selassie
Sell to the highest bidder
Board and Wenger are running low on yachts
No I think you're missing the point and so is Van Persie. If we hadn't signed any strikers by now then RVP would still have created this situation for himself surely? I mean if he does it when we do actually sign players, then surely he would have done had we twiddled our thumbs and waited for him to decide where he wants to go and what he actually wants to do.
They got a shitstorm of enmity coming their way last season when we hadn't sorted out the Cesc and Nasri situation, nor brought anyone in on the off-chance they do go, so this time they sign strikers who it's fair to suggest if all is well would not start ahead of Van Persie but would provide more than Chamakh has. And I still imagine Chamakh will go, or will be so marginaised he'll be our Bogarde.
The board have to act in the best interests of the team (not that they always do) but on this occasion they have, they know a player has brought forward his unhappiness or frustration and thus he might leave, so they've done the right thing and brought players in anyway.
For me he is hiding behind the meeting itself, he said in his statement that contract and fiinancial terms were not discussed but his problem was with how the club was going forward. What kind of players was he expecting us to bring in that would've satiated him? By July he decided Giroud/Podolski wasn't enough (or as you suggest a indication to him they are already not considering him in their plans) and then said he won't be signing a new contract - all of it suggests to me, he knew already that he wants to go somewhere where trophies are more likely. If he had just that from the beginning, then there wouldn't be so much of an issue.
If we sign the players we are purportedly close to signing and he still goes, you've got to question what it is that he was after in the first place. I think he would've released that statement a long time ago, if he could have.
Oh and it's RVP's birthday today.
Another day older and deeper in debt.

If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
It's all about the money.
Or as we have put it here before.....ambition.
He isn't happy with 130'000 ambitions per week we offered him and I'll bet that his **** of an agent convinced him he could earn more ambitions elsewhere.
Yep, players should be satisfied with the "ambition" of the 4th place trophy.
Nobody is saying that.
