I still think RVP is trying to persuade Wenger and the board to invest more. I don't see him leaving the team as his family settled in London for so many years. 130k nowadays is not a big value d. You will probably wow when henry earn this amount but not now considering VP going to contribute his peak to the club. He waited so long but no cups.

Media been speculating something that is not true and official. I choose not to believe those. I will still stand by Rvp.
He actually saved our season where some of us here thought we will be in the middle of the table after we got trashed my the devil at old trafford. If he really wants to leave, who can we blame?

be prepare. i sensed nasri-fabregas smell

dont you think its weird? rvp is the captain of the team and the icon of the team. He should appear first in every arsenal advertisement as far as marketing is concern. walcott and ox are merely the second line of players after rvp

M'Villa zone

Finally Wenger decided to play RVP behind a striker!
Bergkamp 2.0 in the making!

We just need another defensive minded midfield to cover Song and probably a right back to cover Sagna. I think its more than sufficient. The rest will have to depend on the team's mentality

With RVP departure, it actually reflects the ambition of the club. Unwilling to invest, with the latest acquired Podolski and Giroud. No doubt its a good addition but to RVP they werent a proven addition. He is 29 and he wants to win trophy which he only have 1 FA cup with him after 7 years with us. In order to keep RVP, Arsene need to recruit players with proven records. Man Utd have Rooney with them, Chelsea have Lampard and Terry, Liverpool have Gerard. We only have RVP as one of our most senior player and of course the iconic player. With the leaving trend continues, the likes of Theo, Vermaelen will only leave in the matter of time.

In order to to keep RVP, the club will need to invest heavily. Its sad to see him leaving. He could have been a legend who finishes his career with us. He could have been the person to drag us back to the old glory days. The board manages the club differently from the others so we gotta bear the different result from the others. Its so sad that this case is happening again as it reminds me of Henry's case. 7 years in the club, the club couldnt assure what he wants. What else can we fans ask from? Maybe Dein saw this is going to happen years back, thats why he pushes Usmanov up to the board. We initially think he is going to be the person to destroy the club with excessive spendings. Now is this the time for us as fans to question ourselves once again?

Are we really proud of the self-sustaning club with important players leaving frequently? or do we really need to splash our cash to keep everyone and also to recruit the others?
