What is stalling Theo??

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Pretty much, nothing wrong with what RVP said to be honest, he wasn't disrepectful he said it as it was and I personally respect him for that. We knew the club lacked ambition he simply confirmed it so that noone can question this anymore.

You're right though, fans will criticise a player for leaving...so it's damned if you do damned if you don't. I personally can't see why a top player would want to stay with us right now, what have we really got on offer to make them stay....a 4th place trophy? Please only Wenger and the board give a sh*t about that.

Nothing RVP says was negative about the fans, he talked about Wenger and the board not the fans, I don't like to see our best players leave but I've accepted we're not really giving them any incentives to stay so we can't be surprised when they move on.

Nope, Henry, Patrick V, Got criticised for leaving, don't even think Cesc did. Players that disrect the club and its fans get criticised and rightly so.

No true, the reaction to those was they're past it....so it's a good thing they moved on (I don't agree with this btw) in addition they'd won loads with us and wanted to add the CL to their CV. Fans also thought Wenger decided to sell them (which makes it ok for some reason?) Only Cesc was young when he left and he got criticism for sure.

Maybe he didn't fancy playing in France or Italy, moving to a new country isn't always a simple decision, in addition out of those three teams, Man U are in the biggest league and have the best chance of success in Europe as well.

It's not like Barca or Real came in for him.

In reality though, it's not like the old days for me, we not really rivals of Man U anymore.

Then why not wait ti run his contract down, then he'd have the pick of the clubs.

He's 29 probably didn't want to waste anymore time winning diddly squat, time isn't on his side.

His 'statement for the fans' was nothing more than a massive 'fuck you' to all of us and you have to be massively up his arse to not see it.

It's like talking to children. Both you and Charlie.

Clear examples of what I'm talking about. No common sense. The type of people that will slate a player for holding his cards close to chest, like the Cesc situation, but if the true we're spoken you'd have no idea how to take it and think he's personally insulted you.

Check out Charlie...one minute he says Theo needs to speak up and say what he's doing but on the other hand judges the RVP situation in a totally different light and is slating him. Inconsistent.

No what i saying is if Theo comes out and says i want to leave, we'd all know where we stand. Will fan boo him? maybe. RVP on the other hand kept the fans waiting. Till he made some statement on his website. That was not only a fuck you to the club but fans too.

I never said Theo should say he hates the club etc. Just if he wants to go say so.

RVP was banned from talking to the press after he held talks with Wenger and Gazidis. They slapped an embargo on him and then tried to screw him over by making it out that he was after City money and fans started turning on him from that point on. He puts out a statement to clear things up and somehow it made things worse. People were saying it made it impossible for us to keep him and position at the club untenable which was rubbish. We bought Poldolski early, before the window even opened and Giroud straight after those contract talks and before the Euros kicked off. We didn't even have a contract offer on the table for him because the talks were so bad. We knew we couldn't keep him and it stems back to months before where Wenger questioned the sense of offering a huge salary to player that's almost at the end of his performance peak. That hint that we'd sell was dropped months ago and people still don't get it. It's unbelievable that we keep having these sort of discussions about players. It's the same way people were quick to say it's okay to let Song go and lap up the rubbish about him being lazy in training. We now see how much of mistake it was to sell.
