Yes. Originally, the clubs response was that he has a contract and he will honour ot as the professional he is. We are also to believe that he actually came around looking at the signings made so far --- but he was sold anyway to our rival. People are actually cheering that. But then he was sold because we were looking to balance the books.Originally Posted by Ach
Yet he is the greedy one? The farking irony. De ja vu
From my perspective it's not like that. Obviously I would've liked RVP to extend his contract but I'm realistic that we can't compete with other interested clubs in terms of wages. But my explanation for wanting to keep for this year is more about the club taking a stand to these players that are able to freely get their desired move every summer (and other reasons I've made on previous posts about wanting to cut the gap at the top). Even the spuds seem to put up a bigger resistance than us - they got Bale to sign, and kept Modric last summer (although he seems off this time). Bale's no Van Persie, but then against Tottenham are no Arsenal, with playing history and CL football, we still have the bigger pull, so in relative terms it's a similar scenario. I think we've caved in to the demands of a spoilt brat. And I really wanted us not to do that even if he would then move to Man Utd or City or whoever next season. We've shown ourselves to be lacking character in a big way IMO.
Don't really want to moan about it any more - just really hoping the club do make at least one good addition and I hope, as Lee Dixon says, the biggest signing of the summer is Steve Bould. Individually, we have a great set of defenders but if Bould can get us to keep a better shape, we'll be much improved.
He was sold because he made his position untenable.
But of course you know that.
RVC.
Awful ****.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Why do you care so much?
What exactly do you want everyone to do?
Oh poor, poor rvp, how badly we've all treated you, sob sob.
Fuck that shit!
It's motivated by Greed because we won't spend any of that money to strengthen the squad so we might as well have let him run down his contract and kept scoring goals.
Podolski and Giroud bought to fill the void instead of compliment the dutch man, cazorla bought to replace walcott rather than add to our midfield options, and we will hear that shit about frimpong being like a new signing when he has to step up to replace song when ever he comes back from his injury half the player he was.
And anyone kidding themselves that Wilshere will ever appear on a football pitch again need their head examining.
Yeah, rooney seems to be struggling at utd.
So you're effectively saying, we should have bowed down to RVP, who publicly aired an opposing view to our manager, and then double his dollar?
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
The worst thing is that the players we should be selling will still be with us like saggy flesh on a fat woman whose crash dieted come september 1st. Cos the economics graduate put them on stupid wages, well done wenger.......you should work in the banks, they like handing out economic incentives to their staff for fuck all.
Grow the fuck up.
Some of us are actually tired of the same old shit being made up and spewed on an annual basis
