My nephew will be gutted, he's got Arsenal posters up all over the wall of his bedroom... in Doncaster. On second thoughts, it serves him right the glory-hunting little get.
glory hunter ? hahaha , if the youth of today were following a successful team , trophy laden in the last decade - Arsenal would not be a team chosen for those attributes .. :) :)
this is on the online gooner sums it up in my book
Fuck Wenger, Fuck Gazidis, Fuck Kroenke
The title says it all really.
The sale of RVP is the final insult in a long list of transgressions that has spanned 8 long fucking years. I do not know of a single club, that so regularly asset strips and sells its best players - the comical part being we moved 'to compete with the best' and now spend less net every summer than Hull or Bradford City.
4th richest club in the world, and all the finest family silver been sold off. 'We cannot compete with Chelski' - so we sell them the best English left back of the past 30 years. 'We cannot compete with Citeh'. So we happily sell them Bayor and Kolo for a combined £41 mil, with that cash never again to be seen. 'Man United have an advantage we do not'.
Wenger and Kroenke/Gazidis aren't even pretending to challenge for trophies anymore. They take our double PFA Player of the Year and sell him to a team that finished 19 points ahead of us in the league!!! The club is an absolute farce. It is nothing but a money-making machine that is no longer even pretending to be a serious football club.
The funniest part is that clubs like ManYoo - with the despicable Glazers at the helm - at least make ambitious moves to pretend to their fans they give a shit. Hence signing RVP for £25 million.
At Arsenal, our gormless witless nouveau fans are so far up Wenger's arse that they continue to pay the highest prices in the land and question nothing. If Wenger and Gazidis tried half the stunts they pulled at any other clubs, they would be chased out of London, never to return.
Thankfully for them, Arsenal is a club with an apologetic deluded fan base that will legislate for everything.
So now we are faced with the laughable prospect of people claiming it is 'good business'
What have we won since? And since when is business more important than football?
Gareth Bale, wanted by a host of clubs, signs a new deal at Spuds. Suarez gets a mega offer from Juve but signs a new deal at Pool. 2 Europa League clubs.
Arsenal is rotten under Wenger and Kroenke.
Name another club that has lost the total of SIX captains in SEVEN years? Please? Nope I can't either. That is a shocking disgrace. The bigger crime is that they continue to get away with it.
We now have deluded Arsenal fans singing the praises of Giroud. LOL. Tell me what most people would rather: a striker partnership of Rooney + RVP (Two proven PL players with individual accolades) or Podolski + Giroud. I mean FFS seriously please...
Usmanov was 100% correct about the clowns running our club. Wenger is an absolute cretin who is working for the board and cares not a jot for the fans - which makes those that defend him to the death even more ludicrous in their stance. What is going on at Arsenal is an absolute DISGRACE.
I don't know of any 'big club' that so routinely has its best players cherry-picked by DOMESTIC RIVALS. It is unacceptable. Yet many of you will keep renewing your overpriced STs claiming 'Oh I don't know what else I would do'. Yeah. Cos that £1200 isn't better off spent on a charity, or something productive.
They continue to take the piss because there are no fear of consequences with our submissive, compliant fans. I don't blame RVP. Again I have read some jokers on here claim 'What could we do, our hands were tied'.
Oh? And who is repsonsible for allowing the situation to get to the point whereby RVP is in the final year of his contract and hence likely to leave? Because Arsenal and Wenger have never been here before have they with errrm....oh Nasri just last summer! It's almost as if the club wants this to happen, knowing they'll be selling for a profit, and then they can chat some bullshit lie to our gullible fans, who will swallow it
Wenger nd Kroenke have conspired to hijack a once proud, brilliant club and turned it into a Disneyland, corporate whore with no ambition and no goals bar the bottom line. Yes all other clubs are greedy, but they at least try to pretend they care about their fans and success.
Now Wenger has just been on French tv claiming that 'RVP replacement has already been signed'
It's laughable. And some idiot will pipe up and defend this tripe. Read this forum for such an example.
Frankly it is an absolute scandalous outrage. I know not of a single club anywhere in Europe with such a shuddering lack of ambition. You have a manager who cites 'financial doping' but was yet instrumental in the negotiations for his beloved PSG to be acquired by Qatar - where was the 'financial doping' concerns then?
RVP has left and the proof will be when he wins something, and Arsenal continue to do what they now do best: choke, and win fuck all.
So keep paying your overpriced monies and who knows, perhaps we could get Wenger a new 3 year extension on £10 million a year. Christ knows, he deserves it. He's 2 years short of a DECADE without winning a single trophy. Some record.
You lot can keep this faceless money-grabbing piece of garbage corporation I once knew as Arsenal FC and keep paying them scandalous money.
I no longer support this shower. When Wenger and Kroenke are gone and it becomes a football club again, with ambitious fans, I'll give a shit. Until then, Sayonara.
When Arsenal pinch players from ManYoo, they nab Silvestre. When ManYoo pinch players off Arsenal, they nab our captain and double footballer of the Year.
Eye's right, skin back tight, bollocks to the front, we're the boy's who make more noise when we're on the cunt, we're the riders of the night, and we'd rather fuck than fight, we're the riders of the Clock end Highbury

I think it's not a good transfer of Robin. He would be better off to go to Juventus or PSG...'cause I just can't understand why players who are playing a long time for a club go to another club in the same competition...

money will be the main reason as just said above.
a lot of footballers are two faced primadonas.
one or two have some morals but not many.
but even the average man in the street wouldprobably move jobs if somebody else offered him mroe money to do the same thing.

I can see 'Bradys left foot' bein a member very soon, Dave
