Arsenal Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 12/13 MOD POST #232

As the token Arsenal fan of my neighborhood for the past quarter of a century, everybody is asking me what do I think about the Robin van Persie transfer.
Soon the Man United fans will know that horrible clammed up feeling of dread I used to get every time RvP got an international call up or fell over and didn't get up within 5 seconds...

A bit of perspective lads.The fella backed himself into a corner signing off on that stupid statement a few weeks ago.

Or he could have just signed a new deal and said that the signings AW has made have convinced him the club is worth figthing for and in the end he would never play for another club, yada...yada.. and the fans would be singing his song again. Just like Rooney was forgiven.

Its only a good deal if the money is reinvested. We need to strengthen.

As for the United fan who said he moved for ambition, dont make me laugh. He had backed himself into a corner with that ridiculous statement and United were the only team willing to pay him what he wanted. This move is about money, and you're kidding yourself if you believe anything else.

The problem is our wage structure. Football is about money these days, the highest bidder wins the day. Adebayor, Nasri, and now van Persie, all left for money. Our wage structure is holding us back. I cant see any change in the near future.

We'll survive though. Bigger and better players have left the club. We're better off without him in the long run.

Saying RVP is leaving for money is pretty unfair. If he was, he'd be playing at City or Chelsea. He wants a PL medal and probably feels that United offer the best chance of this combined with weely starts.

Chelsea or City didnt bid for him.

Modern day football for you. Nuture a player for 8 years who had a reputation of being a toe rag and a troublemaker. Before he can maintain any type of form he gets injured and takes ages to recover fully to gain any type of form. then he comes back, grabs the few goals, and then at the end of the year he says "I'm off" leaves to join your arch rivals.

The Arsenal board are as much to blame. £££££££££ is the height of their ambitions. All the praise they get for doing things the right way is bullsh*t. They are an extremely greedy board and none of the money recuperated will be reinvested in AFC. Im only surprised they dont ring Ferguson now and ask him does he want Song for an extra 2 bob to help RVP with assists. I mean sell RVP if you have to but ffs not to a rival in the premier league. Dopes!!

Is that the last player we had that has won a trophy with us? God our squad has changed so much over the past few years.

But nobody else WANTED him.He has to carry that to Uniteds bench till he is finished.

Actually just saw that van Persie has to do a medical before he signs. That should be good for a laugh. He could end up playing for the reserves yet!

This is the club where Hargreaves, Owen and Saha passed a medical :eek:
No chance he'll fail...

I keep hope he wont sign for them, they have only agreed a deal, van persie had signed nothing yet!! I know I'm dreaming like

Omeceron

At least now when Utd fans say they have the best striker in the premiership it might mean something.

emergingstar

Juve wouldn't up there bid for rvp but spend 35m on loriente that tells its own story

Or maybe not

tayto lover

Can't wait to hear his statement on the move to Utd. I can envisage what he'll say

"It is my ambition to win trophies and I feel that Man Utd offer me the best chance of doing so. I have always dreamed of playing for them and now my dream has come true"

Cnut.

Yes your dreaming, but wouldnt it be hilarious if that happened.

I believe so. They said that during the Koln match but commentators are known to get things wrong every now and then.

Morzadec

Disgraceful stuff from RVP. He was a player I had a lot of respect for but joining United? Must be hard to take for you guys. Lost all respect for him.

I hope it goes the way of Torres as Chelsea.

Fergie would sulk like a big baby like he usually does when he doesnt get his own way. He'd go on a rampage looking for a microphone to go on a rant. I can remember he even went off on one the time Ramsey joined us though for the love of me i cant find the article anywhere.

Maybe, Wenger was pissed with RVPs gratitude and loyalty and seeing we had a good offer and plenty in reserve decided to say, do you know what, fuk off you ungrateful fuker.

Maybe wenger has enough after the statement and decided your gone maybe songs attitude was horrible and decided your gone
Maybe after been shat on last year our manager is after growing a pair
You never no

Better getting 24 million for him now instead of letting leave for nothing next year.Another player who thinks he is bigger than the club just remember the grass is not always greener on the other side so i hope he fails from a pool fan

Would be a very delayed reaction after all those who left before. I think the Board and Wenger are just recouping some of the money they spent earlier in the summer. They had planned for him leaving and bought so they decided to sell regardless to recoup the money. We worry about money a lot at Arsenal.

farna_boy

Of course you all know that there is only one person we can blame for all of this...
