Announces he won't sign a new deal at Arsenal over "disagreements on how the club should move forward".

I think I've predicted them to finally fall out the top 4 the last 3 years but surely they can't do it again without him. I guess he'll go to Italy.

    Can I be the first to say............he's too short !!
  • Swap deal for clarke and hayes? Both hayes and clarke would fit in at very well at arsenal. Expect an announcement from the club regarding this very soon.

    This is turning into a pretty good week :-)

    I doubt very much they'd score 37 goals between them let alone do what RvP done this season.

    I do wonder whether he is the £1m player we are after?

    I suppose if they want him its more than possible, just thought Aguero, Tevez, Dzeko, Balotelli, Silva + Nasri is a bit overkill already but I guess van Persie is probably better than all of them and would start with Aguero and Silva?

    Don't like rvp but dont see what the problem is. Prepared to honour a contract, but wants to move to a new firm which either has better prospects or pays more money.

    Change the profession from football to IT Developer and no one would bat an eyelid.

    Yes AFKA - but what about if that IT development company had spent the last six years paying for you whilst you had numerous illnesses ailments and injuries do you not feel potentially you should show a hint of loyalty

    Is he not showing loyalty by not demanding a transfer now?

    And all the gooners I knew were raging on about he was going to stay, LOL. They have nothing to fear though with the mighty strike line of, Bendtner, Park and Chamakh.

    Arsenal are doomed. I almost feel sorry for them.

    Agree AFKA, rather a player honest a year out too rather than one who strings you along in the last year, e.g. Sol Campbell, gives Arsenal the chance to take the money now or have him for that year (they'll sell this summer).

    but if RVP decides that rather than arsenal cashing in £x millions now, talk to clubs now in january and he can have a large % of that money for himself as a nice signing on fee.

    Knowing W*nger, he'll just pull someone out of the youth team and turn them into a World Class player over night.
    I dont think they'll be panicking just yet!

    paulbaconsarnie, that's what I'm saying I think he's not done, and think more of him for it. As above, I think he'll go this summer.

    He has a length of contract, no issue with him not signing a new one - it's no Parker refusing to train, or Fabregas being made a 'slave'. If Arsenal thought he wasn't good enough for the level they want, they'd release him at the end of the contract and there's be no outcry, why is there an issue the other way around?

    Ars*nal wont let him walk away for free, they'll sell him before he can.
