Sigh, this transfer really has damaged us a club IMHO. It's set a precedence to, that we will happily sell our best players to Man United/top 4 club/more ambitious domestic rival.
The sad thing is it wasn't even a drawn out saga, we just sold him to them pretty easily.
RVP is the best striker in the league by a mile.
If we'd made him stay this season we'd have got one more season out of him then he'd of left for free. This season/next season, doesn't make much difference. Either way we're left trying to replace the irreplaceable.
There is not a striker in the world that could replace RVP for less than £40m.
Replacing RVP is even harder if you are a club that pretty much refuses to spend or spend adequately.Originally Posted by Grebbo
We have issues all over the team, sure losing RVP is one of them but we have other problems too...but I suppose that should be discussed in another thread.
Oh I agree. I can safely predict that we'll never have a striker as good as him until this cycle of billionaire penis extensions ends. He's that good and we're that reluctant to invest.
RVP solves many team issues though. You can have an average defence and midfield but with him up front you'll always be near the top of the league.
Yep, last season proved that. He pretty much single handedly got us 3rd place.
Yep, and with him in the team, Fergie will win the league at a cantor.
That's what good managers do; identify a weakness in the team, fix it. Not make excuses and come out with bizarre strawmans about signing messi. Wenger is such a ****.
I'm starting to think we shouldn't have sold all our best players and replaced them with crap.

It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Agree 100% with the bit about more heat needed on the yank.
I'll start.
Kroenke the Clown - what a ****!

For sure, Fergie is pragmatic, Wenger isn't.
It's sad it's come to this, Wenger is pretty much on a crusade to prove everybody wrong. What other manager in the League comes out with statements such as "everybody in england thinks you solve problems by buying". Well if you don't address these problems internally then Buying is the only way we can solve the problem.
We need to buy better quality players, if it means over-spending then so be it, what are we waiting for?
It doesn't matter if it's January or August, go buy some players to improve the f*cking team cos as it stands we're not going to reach 4th place so no trophy this season!
