In case there was ever any doubt, it seems Robin van Persie has decided he is leaving the 'mighty' Arsenal:

This is an update for the fans about my current situation. I have kept quiet all this time out of respect and loyalty for the club and as agreed with Mr. Gazidis and Mr. Wenger, but since there is so much speculation in the media, I think it is fair for you guys to know what’s really going on at the moment.

As announced earlier this year I had a meeting with the Boss and Mr. Gazidis after the season. This was a meeting about the club’s future strategy and their policy. Financial terms or a contract have not been discussed, since that is not my priority at all.

I personally have had a great season but my goal has been to win trophies with the team and to bring the club back to its glory days. Out of my huge respect for Mr. Wenger, the players and the fans I don’t want to go into any details, but unfortunately in this meeting it has again become clear to me that we in many aspects disagree on the way Arsenal FC should move forward.

I’ve thought long and hard about it, but I have decided not to extend my contract. You guys, the fans, have of course the right to disagree with my view and decision and I will always respect your opinions.

I love the club and the fans, no matter what happens. I have grown up and became a man during my time with Arsenal FC. Everybody at the club and the fans have always supported me over the years and I have always given my all (and more) on and off the pitch. I am very proud of being part of this fantastic club for the last 8 years. As soon as Mr. Gazidis is back from his 2-week holiday in America further meetings will follow and I will update you if and when there are more developments.

Good news!

 

I wonder if Wenger was secretly aware of this and that's why he just bought two strikers?

Has it gone offline, not working...

 

i think the website is getting hammered as its all over twitter.
Its probably hosted on some guys PC

 

what a fantastic couple of days this is turning out to be.

 

you can see some of it here, WY. http://www1.skysports.com/transfer-centre/clockwatch

here's a cracker of a quote from twitter already:

"Player who thinks after 1 big season in 8 thinks he is bigger than what he is.Club by the way that carried him & his injurys for 7yrs #RVP"

Just waiting for the tipping point where it starts to trend...

 

Splendid news anyway, this calls for a in the Billy Nic

 

We should definitely go with HIAG's suggestion and put in a bid now.

 

and it's trending! get on it lads, some of these comments are brilliant already!!

 

. That's Arsenal ****ed

 

*Awaits HIAG and his views on the situation*

 

what is the betting he's created a new account and is over on the arsenal board right now?

 

remember Nigerian footballer Taribo West?

Taribo West ‏@Taribo_West_

"R.I.P. RVP Football Club"

This is amazing.

 

ill see you there

 

He leaves when he wants, he leaves when he waaaaants

robin van persie, he leaves when he wants

 

Courtesy of twitter (again):**** RVP, he's 29, had one good season and always injury prone #noloyalty

 

and they thought we were being harsh on Modric

that guy single handedly saved them from embarrassment last year.

 

That would put Rooney's nose out of joint. What's happening with Berba?

 

Should cover the latest round of debt repayments.

 

Exodus!
