RVP, Clichy, Nasri, Fabregas and others who left are like passengers who got down from the bus complaining that it was taking too long before loading full. just imagine if Hleb, Adebayor, Flamini, Fabregas, Nasri, had stayed on, wouldnt we have won a trophy before now? in RVP's case particular case he is like a wife who had been sick for the 1st 6 years of marriage and who now complains that after 18 months of good health that she doesnt think the husband can take care of her. i know, Mean Lean that your response to Desmond's piece did not mention that RVP owes Arsenal gratitude. but there i said it.
it is important as Arsenal fans that we do not submit ourselves to the intricate designs of the media to bring down Arsenal FC. every thing being said about the club is negative which is ok until we fans start believing the bullshit being spread. for example if Arsenal signs Neymar the media will describe him as a brazilian starlet, but were it to be Chelsea, he will be referred to as a Brazilian Superstar. it is that type of mentality that has led the media into spreading the story that Arsenal is not active in the transfer market even though we bought Podolski who scored 18 league goals in Germany last season and has 100+ German caps, or Giroud who was the French league top scorer last season.
we rarely used Chamberlain last season, and he gave us already as taste of what to expect. NoDiaby last season+ no Wilshere and You start to ask yourself what trophy ambition is RVP looking for if the real reason isnt money.
in the future, it is important that players do their math very well and see how much they are going earn from Arsenal in the long term than 2 seasons of big money with Man city or barca and then a need to take a paycut in the years after like Hleb. Bergkamp earned money from Arsenal till he was 36. top salary which he could have lost if he had gone elsewhere and forced to retire early like Henry and Van Nistelrooy.
those players see this example but do not heed them. perhaps reason for us not winning trophies is their low appreciation of seeing their career as a marathon not a sprint.
