Good Bye RVP!

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

I'm sure the club would have preferred not to sell him to United but money is the name of the game. The clubs priority is to balance the books, there's no doubt it. We sell to buy, that is well documented and proven every summer. It doesn't matter who the buying club is anymore, we are always ready sell. It's no wonder why our squad gets picked apart by vultures every summer, I'm sure it's well known within the football inner circle that Arsenal will sell if pushed.

I remember when Fergie totally blocked Heinze's move to Liverpool, and that was just for a pub teamer so there's no chance they'd ever sell someone to a rival knowing it would improve them, but then their priorities are different to ours.

that's what you call a self-sustainable model my friend. if the aim is to be self-sustainable we will always try to balance the books i.e. sell to cover what we buy. the first rule of self-sustainability is to never make a deficit but if you do, minimise it as much as possible. we were always going to sell the c*nt but to united? that's ridiculous.

Anyone got him on Twitter?

You know what to do

City's owners a rich fans pumping their own money into their club. If you don't like it, fine. If your club's owner wants to run your club as a business and you are happy with that fine!

But then don't go around calling players greedy when they opt to work for the owner who will invest top bucks to ensure they win. IN FACT It is about more than money as far as these owners are concerned.

after buying cazorla, giroud and podolski and offering him 150k a week, its quite clear we wanted to win but he just wanted more money

And the damage was already done! It happens -- deal with it. People leave their place of work in these circumstances all the time.

Our board members would sell their own kids for a profit. You only have to look down the road at the stance taken by Levy with Modric - the price is 40M, until then.....FUCK OFF! We sell to a direct rival at a reduced rate, the same team that fucked us in the ass 8-2... what do we do???? We make them even stronger! Fucking muppets running this club.

It's more fucking infuriating that it's happened this late into the window tbh.

If we'd have sold him straight after the euros then bought cazorla, I doubt most fans would be as pissed off as the feel right now.

I had already dealt with the fact he was leaving and probably to utd, but I wish it was done a lot sooner.

Still, we'll see someone coming in now RVP is gone.

We can feel like shit and pissed off again when song is sold next week and feel slightly better when another player comes in for him.

No,you will be the moron to assume one has to be born a fan. I wasn't born an arsenal fan -- who gives a shit? You? Who cares? And you will be a bigger moron to assume they are pumping all that money into the club to make profit. That much is obvious. They are footie fans who bought the club they could and are pumping money into the club to make it their dream club AS FANS. I don't begrudge them that.
