Wenger has spent forever bitching about Citeh's "financial doping" whilst at the same time, using them as his personal bank. Full of shit, please.
RVP question for me is a simple equation: given his age, and the numerous years he has been at Arsenal, can he fulfill his career ambitions in what will be his last big contract?
Now. Wenger has won nothing in Seven years. He's preferred to arrogantly lose players like Cesc, Henry, Vieira and Nasri so he could prove to the whole world his theory was correct. Instead, it's seen Arsenal deteriorate so appallingly to the level that most agree, it's the worst Arsenal team of the past 15 years.
Arsenal's rivals ate Spuds, and Newcastle.
Now. If RVP takes a quick look at the three first teamers who left Arsenal last summer, what will he see?
1. Cesc Fabregas won three trophies. Might not be the biggest but they are trophies. Cesc also played in a CL semi, sthg Robin has never done, and Cesc has come out and said he's learnt tactical sides of the game he never even knew existed while he was at Arsenal.
2. Samir Nasri. He's steadily become a very influential player for Citeh. Again, yet another player who left Arsenal and claimed that he has learnt far more about the tactical side of the game, sthg he couldn't get under Wenger. Nasri is playing with better players, and is on the verge of picking up a league title. Oh he also earns £170k a week.
3. Gael Clichy. What happened to the liability we used to watch at Arsenal? He's been one of the best left backs in the league this season. Amazing what solid tactical defensive coaching can do to a player eh?
Clichy at Citeh is on the verge of also picking up a league title.
So you see, RVP is no fool. His career is not best served staying at Arsenal. If its just a comfort zone where he walks into the team every week and isn't pushed for competition, and earns big money then he'll stay.
But Robin is a fighter and a winner.
Winners have no business at a club where manager and fans celebrate 3rd place, and where finishing above Spuds is the highlight of the season!
RVP will go. Podolski ain't enough to change a whole failing club mentality where seven years have passed and nothing works. Robin can see that. And if he looks at those who've left, they're ALL better off in their new clubs.
Fully expect a £30 mil deal to Citeh to be confirmed at the eleventh hour on August 29th, after we've already dropped points in the league...
