All you saying Wenger was right to sell RVP to united

[o2be a gooner]

Yes, Arsene knows.

What a f**king player.

What kind of manager sells his only superstar player in the peak of his career to a direct rival, just because that player wanted to go???

Look what Ferguson said when Heinze wanted to go to lpool. He should have kept him with the team we have now we would have challenged and probably won things this season, united are not much better than us bar rvp.

He will score 40 goals this season and will score against us in a few weeks, and some of you will still say 'Arsene knows' http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/rubchin.gif

Also, why is everyone always so quick to compare us unfavourably to united/frgsn?

[Pat Vegas]

oh well they are so rich excuse.

[Free SL]

that you're a c**t

[Classic Jorge]

It's amazing that people are seeking to blame arsene for this, especially when it was all Robin's doing.

These people are r'tards

[Pat Vegas]

However I am not fond of selling players to 'rivals'

It seems a trend in recent years. Of course City have got lots of money and people think players like Clichy are ****. Well to be honest I think he's quite good.

It just may appear to some the club is happy to sell players to whoever.

Best all round if we just all grow up and let the van Persie issue go.

He's left the club, adios and bon voyage.

[Classic Jorge]

The fact that it may appear to be the case to some is a testament to their own reductive approach to things rather than the real situation.

[o2be a gooner]

easy to say. but it will be difficult when he scores against us, and wins them the league.

[Monty91]

if they've been a good servant to the club.

[Classic Jorge]

[o2be a gooner]

ridiculous

[Pat Vegas]

Tottenhamish.

[Classic Jorge]

Whatever that means.

[Monty91]

and a short one at that.

We're talking about checkout girls jobs here.

[Pat Vegas]

big c**t before the speculation of them wanting to leave comes along.

And not stealing things from the locker room will help.

[Pat Vegas]

[Monty91]

remain amongst the world's global elite clubs during his time with us, not least with his goals last season.

Also a very good professional, and all-round nice boke, by all accounts...

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Can't believe we're still going over this topic.

[Classic Jorge]

It's like when you're on the train and they call you customers. You're not, you're passengers, it's not like you can get a train from a rival company that you prefer.

[Monty91]

The transaction between club and fan is fans pay for entertainment, club does its best to provide it.

The relationship between club and player is between employer and employee, which comes with moral obligations.

[Classic Jorge]

[Maravilloso Marvo]

High street shops sell entertainment as well. Ladbrokes, William Hill, slot machine shops etc.

[Maravilloso Marvo]

[Supermac1976]

[Monty91]

which clearly they do not do.

And not very good either.

A totally different thing, imo

You'll be arguing that Facebook Fans are also fans soon

[Hillary]

able to leave for nothing next year and the money has enabled us to strengthen the squad to the point that it is arguably stronger than last season.

We could have kept him but then when he left at the end of this season for nowt, we'd be pretty f**ked.

[o2be a gooner]

will come at the expense of the club. He will probably be a key reason they finish ahead of us, as he is so good.

So overall its at the expense of our team. if your comparing us to a business - wenger has substantially improved the quality of a competitor, and reduced ours big time, by giving them one of his prime assets. and part of his argument is moral obligation http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/rubchin.gif

[o2be a gooner]

after trying to sell him to a european team.

explained we have good chance of winning the league with our team. f**k the money. what are asrhavin/chamackh/benthner etc on? dont talk to me about him going for free. what will we do with the money? finish 4th, win nothing again, money in the bank....

not sell him to manunited ffs.

[Hillary]

A fan is stretching it more than a bit though.

[o2be a gooner]

[Classic Jorge]

What's to say he'd play, play well, stay fit or give it the requisite effort?

That's a £25m gamble when the club can ill afford to gamble and, I'm sure it'd not escaped your notice, we'd already signed his replacements.

[Classic Jorge]

[Hillary]

You don't honestly think that we could actually have exactly the same squad plus RvP had we wanted do you?

[sodd]

[Bergkamp's Brain]

What people were saying is that Arsene had little choice in the matter.

[o2be a gooner]

and , we wouldnt have bought giroud

[Classic Jorge]

"as long as I can remember I always wanted to be a grocer"

[Hillary]

[o2be a gooner]

we shouldve made it clear to him before we bought girioud, obviously.

Dont worry about players wanting to go, look at Rooney. You can ALWAYS make u-turns and fans will always be ok with it once you start scoring etc.

[Hillary]

[Hillary]

[o2be a gooner]

the ****e like djourou , giroud wouldnt have come (not saying he ****e he will hopefully be good), asrhavin 5-6 mil, chamkackh 3 mil etc

[Classic Jorge]

Rooney gets homesick when he's more than four miles from the M62 for god's sake, also it was a massive climb-down/volte face/u-turn from the lad frgsn there.

Rooney held the club to ransom and won, RvP held the club to ransom and was told in no uncertain terms that we are not at home to mr blackmail.

[o2be a gooner]

my point is that it doesnt matter if Rvp said he wanted to leave and wasnt extending his contract - these things happen. players can make uturns and its all forgotten.

It doesnt mean we couldnt have kept him. i just think its a big mistake selling rvp to a rival, id rather have kept him and actually probably won something. he isnt just any player. he is awesome and with our improved team thise season (defence and midfield, and with pololski) we would have won something. now united will...
