is 7 million by any chance?
Far less than he makes for the club?
I'm 2% away from 7 million.
Many have said that about the guy!
In simple terms, way more than he's worth!
Precisely, he never seems to recognise that for some reason, I'm shocked he was surprised RVP wanted to leave to be honest.
You certainly have.
Over and over again.
Again and again.
Bit like a...broken record.
Ironic, eh?
all these intereviews with the judas today. one quote sticks out like a sore thumb
no you havnt you ****.ive always respected the Arsenal fans
but just the way he talks about the lack of trophies here, it reads that its ridclously unfair on him that his team mates never won him a medal while he sat on sidelines injured for 6 and a half years. judas fucking ****
It amazes me people expected him to stay on and waste what's left of his career with us, he only has one career. At the end of the day if he hadn't made it with us he'd have made it somewhere else, he's always had bags of talent, Van Basten rated him and Robben as Holland's best two young players.
Why should he owe us anything, we choose to pay him and offer him a new contract, we don't do it out of the goodness of our heart but because it suits us and we think it will benefit us. He had injuries, not his fault and we chose to sign him up on new contracts again not down to him made the offer.
Seems to me people think that clubs do players a favour by offering giving them contracts, they're thinking about themselves when they do it, it's not sentiment.
No, he didn't owe the club anything. He had a contractual arrangement with the club to the satisfaction of both parties. Your point is made.
Now here's the huge, huge, elephantine point you missed. The fans. You know, the great unwashed who actually dig in their pockets to make this whole football thing go round and around? Remember them?
He owed the fans a LOT, not least respect. We already know the club doesn't respect the fans. So we turn to the players to see if we can get a shred of that mutual satisfaction. But no luck there either, turns out the players don't give a fuck about the fans either. At least not beyond the theatrical, the badge kissing, let's do it for the kids, tell me how much you love me bullshit they spout in the newspapers.
The fans (not the club) paid this guy to sit in a treatment room for six years. Then they elevated him to cult hero status when he eventually managed to put a season together. He was the club captain. Our one weapon that kept us even semi competitive. One of the few things that was right with this club. He weighed that against more cash and silver pots and decided it was acceptable to swap his shirt and captain's armband for the colours of maybe our fiercest rival. In that act, not the hollow words he offers, he told us how much he really loves and respects us and how much gratitude he has for the support we showed over seven years. None at all. Zero. Nothing.
He could have gone abroad to lessen the impact of his betrayal, out of sight out of mind. He could have had his money and his pots. But he decided to stay very much in sight and so he remains in our minds. And that's why he will be rightly booed today. For the choices he made, not the choices the fans made. For the bed he made and chose to lie in. He'll forever be a Judas because of what he has done and regardless of how many fans line up to apologise on his behalf.
