Well, according to news, Arsenal are not going to sell RVP, which is stupid, as they are going to make him honor his contract and make him play on for the rest of the next season.

RVP you ungrateful prick. For 8 years we stuck by you, through injuries (and many of them at that), through droughts, and everything else. Now that we finally made you the focus of our attack and got you goals, you're too good for us? Fine. Just unload him and get any money we can. Better than letting him go for no fee.

...... is what I would've said a few years ago. Now, I don't really blame players for wanting to leave Arsenal. If a player wants to win trophies, and that's not realistic at Arsenal, he has to leave, right? I guess they're making him play out the contract, in the hopes that they can convince him to sign a new one later on.

Without RVP Arsenal would probably have finished near Liverpool or below. RVP probably recognizes that and wants to leave on a high....which is the closest he can get with Arsenal at the moment. The chances of him replicating another season like 2011-12 is extremely low/never going to happen so rather than all that pressure on him just to finish 6th->3rd again, he may as well take a chance getting a title at Juventus/City.

As an Arsenal fan it doesn't even pain me to say that, and part of me wants the club to finish outside the top 4 this season, as the board seems to be happy to scrape along in mediocrity as long as we make the CL every year. Maybe competing in Europa would open their eyes beyond the token b-signing and random french dude we get every year.

At this point I'm happy for the people who leave arsenal. Maybe this serves as a fucking wake up call to the club

Arsenal has become a glorified feeder club. Just like poor Ajax, Q_Q.

As for RvP pls stay away from barca, mkay?

Hmm, I don't know what to think about that move. Where can he go that is clearly better than Arsenal, and still be guaranteed a starting spot?
Barcelona: no
City: don't think so

Apparently Lloris is going to leave Lyon for Arsenal, 17/18m€ fee, as Lyon is actively looking for a new GK
Best signing of the year for AFC if it happens, it will really change everything about their defence, confidence between GK and centre-backs is key and didn't exist last year

He's not at all the likes of Nasri when it comes to behaviour. He was captain of the french team during the euro because he was one of the few reliable, thoughtful players we had


On another topic, the 2 candidates we know of for the french team manager job are Deschamps and ... Zidane


As I understood it Lloris is really good. Why are Lyon trying to cash in?

FFP is european competition only, isn't it? And besides that, FFP isn't gonna suddenly make clubs fall, it's apparently quite easy to get around FFP.

Unless you mean, own the premier league by being most FFP compliant?

Don't be ridiculous. Man Utd would win pretty much every year like we did in the 90s/early 00s. The only reason we lose is because of Chelsea and Man City's financially doping.

Classic,Yea contributes to the spending problem. Whines when people spend mote than them. Although Uniteds debt has more to do with that horrid takeover rather than poor transfer activity.
