    Smacks of Van Persie and his agents...hey guys I really wanted to stay but I just couldn't because I don't agree with the manager's transfers.

    I agree it shouldn't be all over the papers although that is a sign of the times.
    But as for wanting to play in a certain position, that's perfectly reasonable.
    And it's perfectly reasonable for Wenger to see it differently and play him where he wants.

    I don't think anyone is being a **** here.

    Van Persie engineered the move with that statement, his position was pretty much untenable after that.

    We had to cash in again.
    Robin seems more than happy with his 200k a week and rubbing rooney's thigh better - how can we compete with that?

    6 in fact, 5 league and 1 CL and Giroud has shown flashes of good play but not enough. He had one good season in France and hes in his mid 20s. Not what id call an awesome career so far. Should have left him in France, see if he can produce the same kind of form for a 2nd season and then put in a bid if he did.

    Right now, hes regarded as the French Kevin Phillips. One good season and shite before and after it

    I think it was clear that he was on his way out long before he came out with the statement, Wenger pretty much said he signed Podolski and Giroud to replace him.

    My point was that this summer we signed 3 players and recouped all the money (and a bit more) by selling 2 1st teamers. RVP also moved to Man U, which many people would have said should be the club he moves to for football reasons.
