There's no way RVP can remain at the club

Ba would be a very good addition, he can play well other strikers as well so you could see him having a good partnership with Giroud and Pod, I would also bring in Dembele if Walcott decides to leave

 

I think we have to be very thoughtful about who we can bring in. I am very hopeful that Walcott will stay as I think that playing of Giroud in his existing position he will be spectacular. I think defensively he has improved dramatically and I think he will be perfect running onto knockkdowns etc. By NOT playing him as an out and out striker we get to play an attacking midfielder who is also not an out and out striker, and can defend a bit, but can also score goals. Fabregas, Figo, Lampard, Bergkamp etc.

If we replace Walcott, I would really like to replace him with a winger/striker with pace, rather than an out and out striker. And I would like to replace RVP with more of a creator-with-a-good-shot type.

 

People are posting on Twitter that the club wants RVP gone ASAP others are saying that AW hopes he changes his mind and stays

 

Randomly stumbled across this pic, is this real? Would be even worse if Arsenal and van Persie would go apart the way it is happening :/

Every kid in Holland supported arsenal 10 = 15 years ago due to bergkamp, that's why he wanted the number 10, pity Dennis wouldn't get on the phone to him and ring his neck.

 

I've seen another version of that photo where fan has been replaced with ****

 

A long read, but it pretty much sums up my feelings word for word.

Arsene Wenger is not the problem at Arsenal. He never has been. He never will be. The Arsenal manager is one of the few men at the top of the game in this country who still appears to have a grasp on reality.
He is loyal to his club, even when billionaire oafs banging on the boardroom door clearly do not deserve his discretion. Wenger is loyal to his players, too, although many have let him down. Above all he is loyal to his principles and his beliefs, ignoring the fickle whining from ungrateful fans and the tubby, executive-box clowns spluttering their chin-wobbling indignation over Robin van Persie’s departure into a glass of Chablis. ‘No! No! How can we lose him?’ they cry like giddy, teenage Justin Bieber fans. They demand ‘Wenger must answer for this — or go!’, summoning up all their ignorance and parading it on Twitter. These people are cretins. They should be ignored.

The problem at Arsenal lies all around Wenger. He is beseiged by squabbles in the boardroom, ungrateful whelps in the dressing room and idiotic comment in the chatrooms.

Right now, Van Persie is trying to pull off a very obvious con trick. The Dutchman, crowned Footballer of the Year after delivering for one season out of an injury-plagued eight, has announced Arsenal ‘do not match my ambition’.
Strange that. They certainly seemed to be sufficient for his desires when he was lying on the treatment table collecting the cash. But not any more, it seems. ‘Ambition makes you look pretty ugly, kicking squealing Gucci little piggy,’ declared Radiohead. And that is where Van Persie is now. For all his attempts to dress his exit up as some noble search for the Holy Grail he has so far been denied, it’s still pretty ugly.

He has no right to tell Wenger how to run the club. The Arsenal manager gave him his chance when Feyenoord dumped a young Van Persie on the transfer list for being a cocky pain in the backside. The Dutchman has now repaid that debt by effectively trashing the quality of Wenger’s summer signings, Germany striker Lukas Podolski, a 27-year-old striker with more than 100 caps, and the France international and Ligue 1 top scorer, Olivier Giroud, for a combined total of £24million. By any measure, that’s great business. And it is also worth reminding everyone at this point that these excellent acquisitions have been added to a squad that finished third in the table last season. That’s right, poor Arsenal. They finished ‘only’ third in the most lucrative and competitive league in the world, behind a Manchester City that spent more money than Croesus to claim the title.

Van Persie can do whatever he likes with his own career. He can refuse to sign new contracts, play for whoever he chooses, earn as much as he can and good luck to him in all that. But to pose and posture as if he is being forced out of the club by their lack of ambition is insulting hogwash at this time. Wenger has undoubtedly bought well this summer and there may be more to come but it sounds as if Van Persie made his decision to let his contract expire long before Podolski and Giroud arrived.

‘Financial terms aren’t my priority,’ claimed the Arsenal captain, however he seems to be chasing the money — we all know that — because it’s sure to offer him a better chance of winning a medal. Just because City have more money than any club in the world, that does not make Wenger less ambitious. Maybe he is just realistic. If Wenger decided Van Persie was worth less than City (or Real Madrid, or whoever) were prepared to offer, then who’s to say he is wrong?

For argument’s sake, what if Van Persie indicated he could get £240,000 a week elsewhere — a substantial hike from his current £100,000 — and Wenger took one look at that sum and decided he could not bring himself to hand over an annual rise of £7.3m a year? Would you say he was crazy or quite sane? Personally, I’d applaud him. But, shamefully, the club’s second-largest shareholder Alisher Usmanov jumped on the RVP bandwagon in an attempt to profit from the unrest. He seized the opportunity to stir the pot at Arsenal by hitting out at the principal owner Stan Kroenke. But, since Usmanov has not been given a place on the board despite his 30 per cent stake, we can guess what his motives might be. The conflict behind the scenes suggests the manager may be fighting with one hand behind his back. But, in all of this, there is one man I would trust to have the best interests of the club at heart.

It is not Van Persie. It is not Kroenke. It is not Usmanov. It is Wenger.

The problem is RVP is now in his prime at 28, so I suppose he is anxious to win silverware. Personally I think he still owes you guys a lot, you stuck with him through all those injuries and realistically, he's not had much more than one superb full season. I can't see him staying now though, clearly he wants out and it could damage team spirit if he stays.

It's just sad that thre is so little loyalty in the game.

Great read.

 

It is rumored that ManCity are ready to offer a £45 ml package for RVP. This is £20 ml transfer fee and another £25 ml will be his something like £220K per week salary. If he says "financial term are not my priority", then why would'n he agree to a very decent salary rise to £110K per week and let his beloved Arsenal get £37 ml transfer fee? It will be the same £45 ml package. Everyone would he happy. Robin? We will love you again! No? Why not? Hey Robin, mate, wait a minute.. talk to meee..

 

RVP for Tevez + enough dosh to round up his salary for the next 4 years.
