RVP.....A BIG PLAYER......???

How big is Robin Van Persie.....? That's the question most of all have failed to ask and possibly get the right answers to...When our dear Thierry Henry was with us,we saw how big a player her was...Banging in goals after goals and bringing those trophies home...
Everybody in world football are all screaming about how big RVP is and how he needs to move on to another club to win trophies...But hey,lemme ask u....How big has RVP been since we signed him in 2004 from Feyernoord....Any answers....Any.....? The truth here is that a player cannot have just one good season since 2004 and automatically becomes a superstar with SO many demands.....
Don't get me wrong guys, RVP is a fantastic player who "scores whenever he wants" But I always wonder what could have been if he had been able to stay fit for more seasons...We would have won more trophies?
AFC deserves his loyalty if not for anything else but for paying him every single week and not getting our moneys worth...Sentiments you call it!!! I call it believing in a course and a club that has brought fame and fortune...

THERE IS LIFE AFTER RVP?

It would be devastating to watch him leave after just one good season....But I'm sure there is life after him...When Henry left,i remember a friend telling me that was the end of AFC....And there came Emmanuel Sheyi Adebayor who banged in 30 goals...The ghost of Henry was no where to be found coz we had found a goal poacher in him & if he had stayed, he would have achieved a lot more...Nobody at that time talked about RVP for obvious reasons...
Adebayor left and there came the emergence of RVP scoring like there was no tomorrow...And he is the superstar that we all know he is.

 So do the maths....If he leaves,we have Podolski and Giroud who can fill his shoes....RVP was not a household name when we signed him and today he is....There is no doubt that Giroud can have the same devastating effect....RVP wanted us to show ambition and we sure ain't doing badly...He just needs to tell us what he wants exactly?

Looking forward to the coming season and hoping RVP eventually stays......

RVP! Don't fool me Robin, its money!

Well it's official. Robin Van Persie does not want a contract with Arsenal as he is worried that the club is going in the wrong direction, cannot win trophies, cannot compete and not going where he thinks Arsenal should be! Sorry, I thought Arsene Wenger was the manager?

Don't get me wrong, he has been a great captain, but one great season a legend does not make. What does this say to the other Arsenal players eh? Yes your good lads but your not capable of winning anything so if you don't mind I am off to somewhere that can, Oh and by the way I shall earn alot than more than you by doing so!
Yup, once again Agents (inset your own word for agent here) have bent the ear of an Arsenal player "your worth so much more" fawn fawn "best for you" and then running all the way to the bank!
Why not be honest Robin? Thank the fans the right way, say this is your last chance at a big move, you want to do right by your family but do not blame Arsenal. That is just a blatant use of player power, supported by agents, which in my humble opinion makes a mockery of the " I love everything at Arsenal, all the the staff I know by first name etc" Yes he did say that!

What Next

Sell, sorry but Arsenal have no option, as with Nasri, if they are unhappy get rid. The kind of influence he has at the club will make it impossible for other players to take to the pitch with confidence. Now in some ways I do blame the board, this insistence on not spending and being viable is just another phrase for profit. Again just my opinion but one that is shared by alot of fellow Gooners!

So Arsenal, sell and sell now! I spoke to both @Dognash1 and @Mattcarr85 two months ago warning of Man Citeh interest and that the amounts would turn his head. Am I happy about that? NO, Am I ITK? NO! I was just talking to friends who worked in the business and was advised of the offers going about. However I always hoped at the back of my head that he would prove me wrong.

So |Robin, thanks, for last season you were on track to become a legend, you were relied upon to pull us out of the coals, you did so. I will always be grateful for all that you did but that was last season. I do not know the player you are now and the sooner your gone the better in my view. We do not need another Nasri. All I ask for is honesty, something lacking in your announcement today. As they say in the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, "so long and thanks for all the Fish!

Juve offered how much? Also Euro Final view.

Well, Juventus has tested the water with an estimated £8 million bid for Robin Van Persie. Yes £8million! Now given that he had a poor Euro tournament it is still a low offer so it is no suprise that Arsenal rejected it. They really will have to up the amount to match Arsenal's valuation but I doubt if this will be their first and last try to land our captain. Also with PSG and Man City sniffing around it could lead to a bidding war. Talking of City, Mancini is playing his cards close to his chest. He has been quoted as saying "Van Persie? He is an Arsenal player and I don't want to disrespect Wenger." Given his Tevez turn around I take anything he says with a large packet of salt. Well that's all from me for now so will hand over to @ade12_arsenal for his view on last nights final.

SPAIN ARE CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE AGAIN

And they are worthy champions....What a game...What an amazing game of football...They came to show the world that they are indeed the best team in world...They came,they saw and the conqured....again! They have made history ,done what no team has never done...Retained their title and make it a hatrick of trophies....

DISAPPOINTING ITALIANS

To say they disappointed is saying it mildly...The mid-field was poor and the defence;shocking...There was no rhythm about their play and it was hard to believe that this was the same team that played the Spaniards in the group stage...Even the spectacular Pirlo found it hard to dictate the game from mid-field...It was a disastrous final game for the Italians...They just did not click on the night that was the most important...This was probably the last chance for some of these players to make it count,but sadly ,it was not meant to be for them...

Congratulations to the World and European Champions....
