Good Bye RVP!

[Elreactor]

Some time ago I´d have gone mad if RVP left Arsenal.

Now I only hope that, if he leaves, he doesn´t go to another PL team at the end of the season.

But what if Wenger resigns then? Or if there are changes in the board? Would RVP reconsider? He has earned the right not to care about all that, and just focus on playing with people that share his ambitions. He deserves to lift some important trophy before he gets old. Unfortunately AW won´t learn anything from RVPs departure, if he hasn´t already resigned by that time.

This is hopefully veering away from overrating him, but it wouldn't surprise me if Barcelona were looking at Koscielny at the moment. That's from a stylistic perspective as much as anything. In terms of defenders being comfortable in possession and wiry/mobile when defending, he would be worth a look. Unless La Masia shits out a defender or two. Obviously, early days.

It's have to be more than a managerial change, it'd have to be 'big' signings too. RVP has publically talked about the need for them and we signed Chakma instead.

Unless we invest seriously this summer ( ) RvP would be an idiot to sign a new contract with us.

Year after year we've replaced quality with average players, we can't keep on getting away with it. If and when he goes we'll be in mid-table. It's sad.

He may not even have to go before we're mid table; we are already way on course for that eventuality...

I think we'll finish 5th this year by default simply because everyone else is even worse. But right now it's only RvP keeping us that high.

That and the fact that the sqaud sems shot of confidence and the manager and baord are happy to finish 6th and have written off the season. Don't think it will bother them to miss out on the europa league tbh

If we're not going to qualify for the CL then I'd rather miss out on the Carling Cup of Europe ™.
Obviously they would then reduce season ticket prices

If not making the CL finally forces change so we invest in players, then I'd be less concerned. As far as the Europa League is concerned, if we were to end up in that but actually win it, at least we would have something for the players to build on. Coming out with nothing for a couple more years would hardly be inspiring. I'll even settle for the FA Cup this year if it means the team having something to give them a boost, however small.

[Marc Overmars]

Although it would not interest me at all until the latter stages (like the CC) we need to play in the Europa League at least.
