My only thoughts on the matter are thanks for the good times. Would be lying if I said I wish him the best of luck up there.
and in the end, ha rvp stayed with us. he wouldnt have epl title to his name.He's given us the very best since Day 1, up till last August when he should have been sold. On that front, he's as professional as he should be. He came in as a world class player, gave us world class goals, won us the FA Cup trophies, and now leaving as a world class player still. He doesn't owe us anything. He had every right to go for the lucrative option.
So, thank you and I wish you nothing going forward at your new club.
This is not on RVP level whom we brought up, nurtured, tolerated and stayed patient. RVP owed the club everything.
He came in as a world class player
Thats because Barcelona had better players and gave him only a squad role, his class has been about the same since his first season here. You can make an argument that more people became aware of his class because of the limelight that Arsenal provided him. But thats as much his own achievement as it was ours. We certainly benefited from his prowess, even though to get the bigger trophies we needed to surround him with better players.Don't agree here.. He came in as a great player with unfulfilled potential.. He only became world class after he came here and we got the best out of him (his best form in his career has come with us)..
