Wenger should see this as his chance to show he wont take it, we had this with Vieira, Henry, Reyes, Cole, Nasri, Fabregas and so on. Bout time he just poot his foot down tbh.
Personally I would remove his number, the captaincy, not name him in the squad and remove him from all communications and media materials and if we haven't sold him by August 31st i would make him train with the youth team as well.
Want the club to be firm and keep him but the reserves thing is just not feasible. Stranger things have happened in football (Parker has a career), we
might nab a cup with a good forward line.
My initial thought was we should keep him. Certainly remove him as captain but he'd do a job.
Others on here said it would be too disruptive in the dressing room and I think there's something in that.
Reckon we should just get rid asap and buy big to replace.
We should simply sell him now tbh. He won't be a big loss, as he's unlikely to have a purple patch like last season. Use the money to get another quality forward in and we should be well stocked for next season.
If we make these two signings then there is no need to worry about RVP. Let him go. We'll have enough fire power to cope and nobody will care. The fans and team will be buzzing if and when the new players arrive. If we keep him and he really wants out, that's just going to spoil our headlines and sour the mood in the camp. I think we could possibly see a you turn from him but if not, no point him keeping him if he wants to go. The problem in the past has been that we've sold key players and have never signed quality players to replace them and still strengthen the team. This season, it looks like we may have finally done what's needed.
Yeah I agree. He needs to sign a new contract or be sold now. I'm not having a year of "where are you off to next Robin?" questions and speculation next season. Fuck that.
Anyone (except Chamakh) will score goals in our team if they're the only striker on the pitch. Yes, RVP was particularly good at it but I'm confident Pod and pretty boy will step up.
all this stick him in the reserves stuff is just not going to happen. if we face the reality of the situation then its either sell him (and do it quickly) or he signs a new deal. If he signs, then support the fucker i say, no point him being on the pitch and getting booed when he touches the ball as that wont help the rest of the team. generally will demoralise the whole team and arguably our best player.
The notion of letting him rot is great, but it just wont happen IMO. end of the day i feel even if he stays and gets a boo when he 1st plays all is forgotten when he starts banging them in again. ala rooney. you can make your stand but thats what will happen. football and everything around it is fickle
Yeah, his 37 goals and 15 assists in 48 games was a purple patchOriginally Posted by Joker
Has a wantaway player ever spent the season in the reserves? It doesn't happen because there's no point to it, it doesn't help anyone.
Just flog him ASAP.
