Good Bye RVP!

[Niall_Quinn]

I'll say it again

Shocking summer you have had

If Wenger was a poster, he would be you.

Lol, the Greeks have certainly raised the level tonight eh?

I don't know why you always pick on my posts re: RVP. Others on this thread have said the same thing.

Because all you post is shit about the p,ayers and the manager. A fucking spud would have grown tired of slagging us by now, but not you.

RVP had an ego problem at Feyenoord, and got into conflict with the other more senior players because he behaved as if he was captain, rather than a 19 year old just breaking to the first team. His ego shrunk somewhat at Arsenal, but after last season, he seems to have gone into relapse. I don't have a huge problem with arrogance, but what has he actually achieved in his career? Most of it has been spent injured, and it was only last season when he performed consistently well (albeit he faded after March).

I'd rather have team players who are on the up at Arsenal (like Giroud and Podolski hopefully) rather than fading prima donnas like RVP. Time to get rid I think.

Who needs RVP? We should sign Basley Westian Schweinsneijder

Here we go again!
I dont how you can write half the crap you do. . .yes, RvP has had a shocking run of injuries that has kept out of portions of every season he has been with us bar last year. . .I hazard a guess that if he hadnt he would be very close to being our highest goalscorer!

But how can you say he is a prima donna and that his attitude stinks, the guy watched the heart of the team get ripped out and at the same time get handed with the captains armband, no doubt with the adage 'Get us out of this mess' -

Did he mop and pout - no
Did he shun his responsibilty - no
Did he refuse to lead by example - no

We didnt win a trophy I know but you cannot say that RvP didnt try, he lead by example, proved me wrong by being the best captain weve had since PaddyV and stuck up for the team at every opportunity! He also didnt bitch about a thing! We have his contract to deal with now and I dont see why we cant have him Pods and Giourd at the club

Players have slumps unlike you, who is constantly good at posting toss

I still believe RVP was the other player to ask to leave last summer.

I hope he has seen sense and will sign but I think he'll be off to Italy if he does leave

'The other' singular?
Think there were several according to Wenger - including Song and Walcott. Pretty sure Van Persie's name wasn't mentioned...though from Wenger's account it was actually half the squad that wanted out.

He won't go to Italy.

what a fucking idiot

Mino Raiola, who represents players such as Mario Balotelli and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, has advised Robin van Persie not to leave Arsenal for a move to Serie A, which he feels is "third-rate" and in decline.

The Gunners are determined to hold on to their skipper, but the Netherlands international is continually being linked with a move away from the club, with Juventus keeping a close eye on the 28-year-old's situation.

However, Raiola feels that a move to Serie A would be a step in the wrong direction for the attacker, should he leave the Emirates Stadium.

"If he really wants to leave Arsenal for Juventus, he should do everything in his power to make it happen. He should think hard about whether he wants a move to Italy, though," the flamboyant agent told NOS.

"Mario [Balotelli] could join any Italian top club if he wants as well, but you have to take a good look at whether this is the right move.

"In my opinion, the Italian league is only getting worse at this point. Italy should have improved their infrastructure and all that some 10 years ago. I'm talking about stadiums, but also about other facilities.

"I'm not afraid to say that Serie A a third-rate league now. When I started as an agent, Italy was pretty much the promised land. Joining an English club was a punishment.

"Things have changed, though. Players now prefer England, Spain and Germany over Italy, and rightly so."

Raiola's comments come only days after Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger's stated that Serie A is not good enough for Van Persie.

Van Persie to resume talks with Arsenal when back from Caribbean break. He's keen to stay, with or without new contract. Ball in #afc court.
