Van Persie the fraud

[Power n Glory]

You're missing the point - of course most would be suspicious until he signed a new contact. But the point is - in public - he wasn't the one forcing the move, and so it's more transparently the club's decision. I, and many others I guess, weren't angry that he didn't sign a new contract. If we can't afford him, that's that - what can a club do. I was very annoyed that we didn't hold him to his last year of his contract, took the hit of £12m (taking away Giroud's fee) and gave ourselves the best chance of doing well on the pitch. This showed where the club's priorities are.

How is that different from the Nasri situation or the stick Theo was getting for stalling on a contract? Regardless of how he’d play this out in the public, he’d have still suffered the same backlash. The situation is already as transparent as it gets. We sold him to Man Utd when we didn’t have to. After selling RVP we also decide to sell Song, make a lot of noise about replacing him and then end up doing nothing as usual. The way this season has played out with the spin and rubbish is enough for fans to see what’s going on. It’s a surprise to me that this conversation is even happening as if there is some sort of ambiguity surrounding his transfer.

At the end of the day, fans are mad that he left and that’s just it really. How we want to dress up that anger is another story and think a lot is being made of this statement when in truth there wouldn’t have been an easier way for us to lose another one of captains and key players. It’s another gut punch.

I still don't get why him telling us what we already knew is a kick in the teeth?

He said the club and it "had become clear to me that we in many aspects disagree on the way Arsenal FC should move forward", we all knew this right...so why are we annoyed at him stating someone we've known for years....if anything it puts an end to the conspiracies that players are just leaving "because of the money".

We would have sold him either way, whether he'd kept quiet about it or not.

He's a judas **** who spat everything arsene wenger gave him back in his face. He stood by the injury prone dick, when many fans were saying to sell him because he knew how good he was, he believed in him and was proved right and that **** spat everything back in his face. He's a fraud, a **** and left because he forced the club to sell with that fucking statement

Yeah and you were the guy telling us he was definitely staying etc etc.

Wenger stuck by him because that's what he does, stick by crocks in the hope they'll one day be fit so that he doesn't have to spend sh*t and can pickup his 7 million a year safe in the knowledge that he's made the club a profit again.

He didn't force the club to sell, they would have sold him anyway once they'd realised he wasn't going to sign a new contract.

no problem with what he said and I don't blame him for leaving.

Why he had to go to Man utd is the reason he's a ****. He spat in all the arsenal fans faces and showed he didn't give a shit about us.

Fuck him. He's a ****

Simply put.

why do we have to keep on talking about him? can we not just leave it?

now that you've raised it up, what makes him a fraud exactly? if you're referring to what he's doing on the pitch then clearly you need to get off the internet and check into a mental hospital. if you're talking about off the pitch then he's a wanker, not a fraud. you've chosen completely the wrong word. but then again, why should he have stayed? if every tom and his dog can see what's going on at this club, why should players be immune to it? they get 1 career and have to make important choices or else they live to regret it for the rest of their lives. he hit his peak and came at a crossroads; stay here and win nothing or go to united and win everything. he chose the latter.

an agglomeration of factors contributed to him deciding to leave and it all started years ago when a deep-rooted, systematically flawed, broken value system was implemented between the board and manager. this has contributed to a downgrade of this football club and my only worry is the effect players leaving and winning trophies elsewhere will have on the current squad.

nasri and clichy leave, they win the league. cesc leaves, he wins the league. van persie leaves, he wins the league. i was hoping theo signing a new contract would put an end to the cycle of departures but van persie's title winning season might just start it again.

We fuck it up whether they stay or go...

Good point, out of all those players we end up with Walnut.
