    Stayed at a club who won't be successful and won't pay him as much as a club who will be successful and pay him more?

    He carried us last season, if he didn't think we were doing the right things to push us on and give us more chance of success this year then why stay when a more successful club are offering more money? Loyalty? Do me a favour, no-one makes career decisions out of loyalty.

    If someone offered you twice your salary to do the same job in a better company with more prospects then you'd take it.
    So would I.
    So would pretty much anyone.

    Twice your salary or twice his salary.

    Twice my salary is life changing.

    Twice his salary is shitloads+1

    I thought my post was self explanatory. He's a **** because we paid him for 8 seasons and he was injured for 6 of them. As soon as he got fit he fucked off to Manure.

    I honestly can't understand why any Arsenal fan would try to defend him. He's gone, to Manure, no less. Therefore, he's a ****.

    As soon as he got fit, saw he was carrying the team, saw we were selling our best players every summer, saw it wasn't going to change, got a better offer from a better club.

    Fair enough but salary wasn't the only issue.
    He's gone from a club who won't win anything and aren't showing any ambition to do so to a club who will and are.

    If you were carrying the team you worked in and saw the company making your job harder each year by getting rid of other key staff and you got an offer from a company who were well resourced and you could see were ambitious.

    Like MO said, we're the bitter ex. Rationally there's nothing wrong with RvP's decision, most of us would have done the exact same thing presented with the state of the club and the options in front of us.

    You keep asking what I would do.

    I would stay at Arsenal.

    There's no amount of money or shiny trinkets you could pay me to go there.

    Fairly obvious that RVP left for the right reasons and that the team he chose was for the right reasons.

    His last big chance to win some trophies, should pick up his first league title this season which is more than he ever could have won with us.

    Everyone talking nonsense here is blinded by their love for AFC, fair enough we're talking about being loyal as posters on a messageboard but let's not pretend most of the people on here wouldn't have made the same decision.

    The King Is Back.

    Hard to disagree with that.

    But then again, we're emotion packed fans which devoids us of all rationality so just fuck off and die you Judas ****.
