Have an opinion but don't speak for him.
He is a quality striker no doubt but he would have to be superman, the incredible hulk and the fantastic 5 all together if he is to be "the man" to bring the glory days back to this club FFS have a look at the garbage he is playing alongside on a regular basis and tell me, hand on heart, is it realistic to think that this team is anywhere even near glory days ?

Anyway who was I supposed to be "speaking for" ?
You were claiming and quite certain of it that if he signed for us again it will be for money which is not right as he will get double elsewhere, no one knows what is going through his mind but one thing we can be certain off is that we won't pay him as much as others so to say he will stay for the money is comical.
Hand on heart, this is fact and not opinion but a lot of silly points were dropped against poor teams this year,.add those back in, games we should be winning and its a lot closer than it was, im not saying we will or can win the league but we have been our worst enemy now for a while, one day that may change just like van Persie staying fit did then who knows.
Just to clarify, I am not saying that rvp is a mercenary as such, but what I am saying with 100% conviction is that I believe the man will have to sacrifice any hope of success in the remainder of his career if he decides to stay with us
Gunnersauras, I agree with you that we dropped a shit load of pts that would have had us closer to the top 2 but surely you agree that the whole philosophy of the club would need to change for us to be winners again ? To win we would need to spend big and bring in proven quality and that is not on the agenda of those running our club nowadays so rvp staying or not wont change that

Yes I agree. He is holding us back much in the same way that Vieira, Henry, Nasri, Cole and Fabregas were all holding us back.
I personally say we sell him and 'rebuild' and go 'in transition' for the next 2-3 years. That will give Arsene 10 years and who knows, we might see a team good enough to even finish 2nd at the end of that!!! I say sell RVP, his 30 league goals are holding us back. If only he'd been able to match the professionalism of our 'top class' defenders Kos and Verm (who let in 49 goals), and Song, we would have done so much better.
Just like Cesc who was holding back Ramsey and Denilson, I think we are better off flogging this joker.
FFS have a look at the garbage he is playing alongside on a regular basis and tell me, hand on heart, is it realistic to think that this team is anywhere even near glory days ?
