When people say we sold the Little Boy Inside to a "rival" do they honestly kid themselves that we

[Paul Vaessen's moment of glory]

can be considered Manure's "rivals" anymore? Even with their dodgy side, they're on another planet compared to us.

Van c**ty saw to it that we didn't, yet Arsene gets it in the neck from the mouthbreathers

for a number of seasons in the lead-up to not being able to pay top dollar to keep and buy top players. Now now, who's decisions were these? RvP? Think not http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/wink.gif

[Classic Jorge]

But I don't think that was the point of what I said, Robin made it supremely difficult for there to be any other outcome because that's what he wanted. And what Robin wants Robin gets.

i think he'll become wengers worst buy ever...i've never seen a player do so little for a team...offers absolutely nothing....

[arse-nick (avid-analogue-addict)]

Then RvP stays or goes end of season. I don't give a f**king toss, as long as AW or the club don't look as they are Fergie's bitch.

f**k it, why don't we wipe his memory like they did in Robocop.

As long as he doesn't find out about the secret directive we'll be fine http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/rolleyes.gif

[The A*ntöniö]

wouldn't be available in a year's time and rightly, from a purely business sense, went for it. Done.

[plastic james]

as soon as he plays as the lone striker he hides, we cant find him....when he goes to the left he never take on defenders, he cant dribble and his movement is poor.

the man can finish if you get the ball to him....but like i said, he's not easy to find in good positions.

[JJSB]

no wonder we struggle to break teams down at times.

[JJSB]

if/when he'd joined ManU on a free next season?

Probably why didn't we cash in on him last summer!

[plastic james]

we could have done more to sell him to city maybe....wenger said RVP rejected city...maybe pushing him harder that direction is something we could have looked at

losing players to man city can be explained as a special circumstances.....losing players to united however means we're now losing players to several clubs in our league and to a team that was our rival for years and isnt backed by an oil sheikh.

Believe it or not, the majority of fans ARE of this opinion, if you didn't/don't hear that, then I suggest you go de-wax your ears.

[The A*ntöniö]

be in that situation in the first place is what is frustrating for me. The selling decision to whoever is fine with me, no choice there.

[Classic Jorge]

[JJSB]

we seem unable to do that now. Helped we had a very decent team back then.

[plastic james]

podolski becomes very static and easy to keep out of the game. as soon as giroud came in we looked like we could score....the Frenchman lacks pace but his movement is very good

Then you chuck in an unsubstantiated fact saying that, because people share your opinion that it is somehow valid.

At what point did you think I should have pointed out the stupidity of it?

[JJSB]

[arse-nick (avid-analogue-addict)]

The fact remains that the majority of Arsenal fans were totally against RvP's move to MU and would've accepted any other move, grudgingly.
