Piers Morgan ranting about RVP and Gazidis on Twitter, and I completely agree with him. And I don't

[Ergy]

care what anyone thinks of Piers Morgan, he's right about this -

'Well done, Ivan Gazidis, a great bit of 'business' - selling #Arsenal 's top player to our bitter rivals. Shame on you & the whole board.'

'Funny, I really thought @Persie_Official was different. But he turned out to be just another mercenary, heartless, selfish little s**t.'

They had no choice. The bidding war never materialised, for some reason the likes of the Spanish giants, PSG and Milan (who had money from sales to PSG) weren't interested in him. So Manure was the only option in the end.

Once RVP didn't sign an extension, it was basically an admission he wanted out. Would have been criminal to have got nothing for him in that case keeping him for one year and letting him walk.
