    How anyone can justify selling the club captain,best player and player of the season to a club you are supposed to be competing with is odd. I'm yet to see any major business do this --- if we are to pretend to ne a business.
    For the last time.

    NOBODY IS TYING TO JUSTIFY IT!!

    It is the best deal we could possibly get.

    Jesus.

    We couldn't keep the ****.

    And bashing the player is always the way to go. Especially one who has engineered a move for a payrise.

    Those days are gone, rvp would become a cancer and the constant speculation about his future and how 'he didn't play this week, does that affect the squad?' type questions would be our undoing. The damage to this new squad would be huge.

    The club have done the right thing, you may not feel like it now because of the circumstances and it being fresh, but given time you'll feel differently in the long run.

    For me it's bit about the financial side of things, it's the long term overall impact him staying for thy last year would have on the rest of the team.
    We still kept the vieiras and henrys --- the former especially despite wharever. United kept Rooney -- was tjat player power?

    Ah well.
    I want what we all want - our club back. I don't want us to be messed around by our high-performing players every summer. We have to stop this trend somehow - and it will only start with a 'No' somewhere along the line.

    Song, Walcott, Vermaelen...we don't know where it'll end. We all want players that want to play for the Arsenal. We keep thinking the new batch of players are different. But didn't we think Van Persie was one of us last season? Another recent example is Flamini.

    I agree that we cannot compete with the wages other clubs can offer - and I understand if we couldn't get Van Persie to stay on after next season but as far now, as a matter of principle, we really should have tried to stop the rot and looked to cut the gap at the top. I really thought the club would, for once, make the decision that didn't just make the most financial sense. And that's why I'm very disappointed.

    How anyone can justify selling the club captain,best player and player of the season to a club you are supposed to be competing with is odd. I'm yet to see any major business do this --- if we are to pretend to ne a business.
    As opposed to them being able to go there for free the following year?

    Oh don't get me wrong, I think Van Persie has been an absolute **** about this. But there is blame on both sides, for sure.

    Unfortunately it seems the current board make most decisions based primarily on financial considerations, which is not healthy for the club in the long run.
