Reminds me of when Torres handed in the transfer request after Chelsea's interest was made clear. Felt bad man
Mancini claims he needs more players to hide his own incompetence. Anyways, he's a Santa Cruz replacement, not a Aguero replacement
yea.. but now he'll ride the bench quite often I guess
At least Arsenal fans had time to prepare for this.

They're both twats

wat
RVP to city? really? I guess he is going to win trophies with Nasri on the bench then. He won't be going to Madrid, especially after the whole ordeal of trying to get Higuain to stay.
I still like him, at least he had the decency to do it now instead of the last day of the transfer window.
Like others said, the reason for him leaving is more worrying than the fact of losing RVP - he will be 29 at the start of the season, and Arsenal can't depend on one aging striker to keep them afloat. Unfortunately, I see Arsenal "investing" his fee into a Stewart Downing.

A bunch of Indian websites are reporting that Sunil Chhetri, India´s football captain, is coming to Sporting. No idea who he is, apparently he was going to QPR a couple of years ago but he was denied a work permit.

Most passengers don't slit the Captain's throat, piss on the deck and leave dynamite in the hull though...
I know but he has gone about this in a shitty way. Oh well...
Exactly. All he had to do was the standard final interview of "I love this club, but I have decided it was time for a new challenge" bullshit. Then he could just tear up a little bit or whatever and walk off "speachless". We would have seen through his crap, but it probably would have been more sincere. Posting a message on your personal website about how you disagree with the club's direction and desires is not how you go about it. TBH, I though RVP had more class and respect than that. I guess not.

He's been so great since he retired.
Gooner for as long as I can remember, and I'm glad my first reaction as to smile. All these transfers, these players leaving just when they make a name for themselves after all the years Arsene put in with them (shoutouts to Hleb who's playing for the 12th best team in Russia). What can you say?
We're The Arsenal, we'll move on.
Apparently the club didn't see the statement coming and are wondering whether or not to respond. Lack of class there, I'm disappointed.
You wanted him to lie to you?
Most players do lie. Very few actually give a shit. He's just conducted himself so well up to this point, and he cocked it all up at the very end. So yeah, I'd probably rather have a lie.
Who slit the captain's throat? The sailor just wants real booty, I thought.
I don't understand why players are dicks if they move on. But if a player moves on, sells a bad player for a good one it's cool.

Well in this case we don't know whether he is being honest or not, however what is evident is that he has released some internal affairs which Wenger and gang may not be too proud of. It's a little embarrassing when this happens, and it use to pain me when Harry use to do it.

It's how footballers work, they constantly want to take the next step up and Arsenal are not top of the top anymore. I'm sure Feyenoord could say the same about RVP "Oh we have worked to develop him for years and years for years here now and then he just leaves" or Hleb is Stuttgart.

I don't understand, where did I call him a dick? and where did I say it's cool if a club sells a bad player?

I, selfish bastard that I am, long for the good old days of the Top 4 being known well before the season started
I, selfish bastard that I am, long for the good old days of the Top 4 being known well before the season started
United, City, Chelsea, & City B
Take Tevez, he's a bit of a JT but that shouldn't stop you guys, seen as you've already signed two others in Lucio and Pogba
I, selfish bastard that I am, long for the good old days of the Top 4 being known well before the season started
I long for a return to the 03/04 season as well.
I would hope not but let's be honest in that RVP just had the season of his career and chances of him having another one are slim as and last season was the only season I think where he wasn't injured for lengthy parts.So Giroud was meant as RVP's replacement
I would hope like hell now that RVP is gone though that we either get another quality striker in or even better a play making midfielder. I would love us to wind up Dortmund by trying to take some of their excellent players away. That polish striker of theirs is awesome.
No offence to Dortmund fans. I do really like Dortmund.
Tevez is by far the best of the three... though it comes with a bit of baggage :lol. I do hope RVP goes to Juve; that or RM are the only credible options that would support his explanation. If he goes to City... smh.
They're basically you guys but with more end product.
I hope he doesn't.
Why do you need him? Rooney, Welbeck and company did the job didn't they?
Take Tevez, he's a bit of a JT but that shouldn't stop you guys, seen as you've already signed two others in Lucio and Pogba
Lucio is a devoted christian, loving husband and a humble leader. He was just trying to fit in with the rest of the JTs with merda Inter.
We NEED more JTs, we have too many nice guys.
Lichtsteiner was feeling lonely!
Edit: There you go, his first interview. 2 dislikes already
We don't need him. We do need him to not be a City player next season.
/in before somebody shows the lack of goals scored by united strikers bar Rooney.

Piers Morgan called Gary Neville T-Bag! I hope he gets the reference.
Oh well.

There's gonna be a response on Arsenal.com shortly.
Got to admit he was clever. He did this in such a way that we can't keep him for another year as we hoped in our worst case scenario. David Ornstein (BBC) is saying the club is stunned and didn't expect a public statement at all.
