Kinda sh!t that he's going to Utd after 8 or so years at Arsenal. If he agrees to move there he is quite deserving of an almighty kick in the crotch

gnfnrhead · 15-08-2012 8:03pm

If it goes through, I wont feel any ounce of sympathy if he breaks his leg and never plays again. There are only two clubs you don't go to and he is going to one of them. More obvious than ever that he only wanted the money now. At least Cole admitted he wanted more money which is why he was leaving. Hardly anybody believed the statement to begin with, he'll be getting some response when he takes his place on the bench against us. £24m is a good price for us but its a fcuking joke selling to United at all.

Podolski was number 9 for the Koln game so I assume thats the end of Park too meaning we need another striker as Bendtner is unlikely to ever play for us again. No cheap bargain bin deal, we need a top of the line striker. No idea who though.

If Song goes for the £20 and a Mars Bar we usually get from Barcelona, he'll need to be replaced too. Don't care about his attitude/immaturity/whatever you want to call it, go back in for M'Vila and it'll probably be an upgrade if he adapts quickly enough.

Fcuk breaking even, it's gotten us nowhere. One summer of big spending wont kill the finances.

My brother doesnt support Arsenal and just called him a scumbag for it. I think quite a few opposition fans will be feeling the same.

I presume the money will go straight back out on Llorente?

pandaboy · 15-08-2012 8:03pm

Perfect, Mr. Glass indeed.

iMuse · 15-08-2012 8:04pm

Utd are gambling £65 million on him including wages, some money for a 29 year old with his injury record. Im pissed off but will be far more pissed off if we don't sign a replacement before sept.

brianregan09 · 15-08-2012 8:04pm

I'm sorry but this is really gutting, I obviously don't mean no I'll on anyone but if it was one of the lads like any of the recent signings ie walcott or someone i'd understand but RVP was there in the height of our rivalries with them ...

Im sorry as an Arsenal fan this is a kick in the bollocks....I am trying to see the postives but can't really...would have rathered he went to Man City

dvemail · 15-08-2012 8:05pm

£24million though for a 29 year old injury prone striker on the final year of his contract that wants to leave is good business for Arsenal. It's a massive gamble for Utd to take in fairness, as all it takes is one tackle .
The only way Arsenal can come out of this better is if they sign another striker that breaks our transfer record to keep the fans happy imo.

You should go and have a word with yourself boy, disgraceful thing to say

Was actually coming in to say that I think ye probably got the better end of the deal if 24million is true all things considered and that it actually marks the end of the time when Arsenal can genuinely consider themselves "rivals" to Man United.

No matter what happens you don't sell your best players to a rival after all!

If the money is re invested now in a proven premier league striker could turn out to be a great deal, better for Podolski too possibly if he gets played through the middle cause he isnt much use out left anymore

Thats what genuinely hurts about this deal. How Wenger and the board allowed this to ultimately happen is sickening. Man Utd arent bankrolled by a billionaire or oil barren yet we sold to them. This is one of the most hurtful transfers for me anyway as we sold to Man Utd one of our best players, gutted.

Songs attitude has been disgraceful of late Wenger had enough and is shipping him out

Good riddance to Robin, I dont blame the board on this one, as long as we bring in a replacement. His position was untenable so its better off for all that he is gone.

Is Song on the way out also?

wonga77 · 15-08-2012 8:06pm

Im sure Mr Wenger has a few ideas up his sleeve :rolleyes:
(cue the purchase of a few unknown french 17 year olds)

I'll be disappointed if it does. He's too similar to Giroud.

If I had my pick; Lewandowski.

True but did it have to be to UTD ?

But when you take a step back and think about it £24 mil is a cracking price considering .

Like I said; it makes a mockery of building the stadium.

The fact that RVP is probably the best striker in the world skews that a bit

Or if they sign a nobody for pittance and he goes on to break goalscoring records

iMuse · 15-08-2012 8:09pm

3m Jamie Sanderson ‏@YoungGunsBlog

Arsène Wenger on TF1 in France. Says he Arsenal had 'no choice' to sell RVP. Asked if he'll admit price on the cheque, says 'no'.

Wenger also asked if Arsenal plan to sign a replacement for van Persie. Says: 'we have already replaced him'. Giroud and Podolski.

Here we go again....

15-08-2012 8:09pm

I'm heartbroken that we sold to them.

I'm done with the lot of it.

HazDanz · 15-08-2012 8:11pm

If Song goes this week as well the board have learned fcuk all from last years Fab/Nasri saga in terms of getting proper replacements in before the window closes.

It's no way to prepare for a season that starts on Saturday.

woof im a dog · 15-08-2012 8:11pm

this is worst than nasri or cashley cole imo. robin van fill-my-purse-with-more-money. the fact that its that utd shower is the biggest kick in the teeth

Knex* · 15-08-2012 8:13pm

Hopefully, for yer perspective he turns out to be Torres mark II.

Don't know how United expect to fit Kagawa, Rooney and RVP into the same team without putting one of the latter two out on the wing.

Then it just means the likes of Nani, Young and Valencia end up screwed for game time and Carrick will be left trying to hold the midfield on his own.

If Song does leave then I'd fancy Arsenal to get the likes of Moussa Sissoko and maybe throw their hand in for Llorente as well.

Yup.

Thought as much.

No way we we're going to end up with a -£35m net transfer activity. Song should probably round that up to a net transfer activity surplus. Yet again. And sure we've Coquelin will do as his replacement. ****ing Yanks and their poxy moneyball; Kroenke may **** off right now.

Maire2009 · 15-08-2012 8:13pm

I didn't expect us to buy Podolski, Giroud, and Carzola this summer and all early - given that Carzola's got held up. I'm in the minority and know he'll probably leave - but I'd give Bendtner a go over Chamakh. I think there is a good player in there if he only works hard and loses his airs and graces.

Or maybe Park is the new Pele?

tony1kenobi · 15-08-2012 8:14pm

Robin Van Hargreaves.They're welcome to him.

Marty McFly · 15-08-2012 8:14pm

Why do people keep on spouting about how we got a good deal at 24 million for me as a fan i dont give a **** about the finances that much that im sitting here thinking about our accounts, we sold to United and strenghtened them its a disgrace fcuk the money.

This too.

I'd much rather we left United sweating on it until 11pm on 31st August.

Yet another disrupted start to the season. Lessons from last season my arse.

cloptrop · 15-08-2012 8:17pm

Jesus lads its been along time since you were rivals with united . Its spurs you have derby matches with . You just challenged united for titles a few years ago thats all .
Jesus if united didnt deal with any club they ever challenged for the title theyd have to boycott blackburn arsenal chelsea liverpool and thats just in the last few years. Let it go we ment no ill will . We even sold you silvestre.

Yeah typical, knew that was the case. The money wont be spent and if Song gets sold that will probably be our business done in the transfer market. He will probably promote Coquelin and play Diaby more until he gets injured.

Royale with Cheese · 15-08-2012 8:18pm

Ashley Cole looks like a saint compared to this guy now.

I've a jersey with his name it from years ago. Going on the bonfire this year.

brianregan09 · 15-08-2012 8:20pm

I rather him playing for our reserves than United how are some aresenal fans okay with this for **** sake....I actually feel physically sick theres ppl putting up united jerseys already with RVP on the back on Facebook

Max Power1 · 15-08-2012 8:23pm

He is a money grabbing c.u.n.t.
Worse even than Nasri and Cashley combined.

What hurts more is the total lack of ambition shown by the club in allowing this transfer to go through. They should have let him rot in the reserves and go on a free next year (ie called RVP's bluff - see who wanted him after months of inactivity)

Hope he breaks his leg in the first minute of his debut. :mad:

cson · 15-08-2012 8:25pm

Jesus easy with the leg breaking stuff. He's a prick for sure but all the same.
