This Weekend's Fixtures (01/02 Sept).

Ferguson confirmed RVP really wanted to go to Man Utd so I'm not sure where the idea of thinking he debated staying comes from. I mean, for all I know that might be the case but what Ferguson says has more weight than what is supposed in newspapers to drag out a saga that hadn't at that time been resolved.

i am sure he wanted to --- if he was being sold!

Are you silly the guy said he was not going to sign a deal which suggest he wanted to leave, fergie said he only wanted to go to the mancs or you calling fergie a liar.

Well no, he didn't have to express a specific request to join Man Utd. He had obviously thought about leaving for a while, he wouldn't have released that statement in early July otherwise. Like he said in that statement, there were differences in that meeting - I highly doubt he was told he'd be sold at that meeting.

okay; not gonna have this debate again

Well in fairness, I am not sure there is a debate to be had. Everything publically in this situation points to have a wish of joining Man Utd - sure we are complicit in that by eventually selling to him but you're kind of suggesting he was sold against his will and only decided he wants to join Man Utd after being told he'd be leaving Arsenal. Doesn't make any sense.

When was talking sense allowed on here again?

An edict I silently implemented once we won a game.

That's not all you did silently.
