Surely this is a good thing for NUFC. RVP will strengthen Man U but NUFC are unlikely to challenge them for 1st or 2nd this season anyway. However more importantly RVP basically carried Arsenal last season and without him they would not have finished above us. So much so that it was a worry that RVP might fail his medical at MUFC due to a serious back injury having carried his 24 squad mates for a whole season last year. This season without him we should be seriously pushing Arsenal for their position in the top 4 and any weakening of them is surely a bonus for us. Especially this close to the season start.
I think It will be a big blow for them, but now they have Giroud, Podolski and Carzola. They could be a better team all round.
