"As announced earlier this year I had a meeting with the boss [Arsene Wenger] and Mr [Ivan] Gazidis after the season. This was
a meeting about the club's future strategy and their policy.
Financial terms or a contract have not been discussed, since that is not my priority at all.
"I personally have had a great season but my goal has been to win trophies with the team and to bring the club back to its glory days. Out of my huge respect for Mr Wenger, the players and the fans I don't want to go into any details, but unfortunately in this meeting
it has again become clear to me that we in many aspects disagree on the way Arsenal should move forward.
"I've thought long and hard about it, but I have decided not to extend my contract. You guys, the fans, have of course the right to disagree with my view and decision and I will always respect your opinions.
"I love the club and the fans, no matter what happens. I have grown up and became a man during my time with Arsenal. Everybody at the club and the fans have always supported me over the years and I have always given my all (and more) on and off the pitch. I am very proud of being part of this fantastic club for the last eight years. As soon as
Mr Gazidis is back from his two-week holiday in America further meetings will follow and I will update you if and when there are more developments.

He WOULD stay if *word censored* Wenker and *word censored* Kroenke would sell the dross and BUY some TOP Quality players. He (like us) has asked them to invest - they're trying to do it on the cheap - we all know that unless Arsenal get in Top Quality players we will never compete for the Prem Title - RVP knows this as well - at least he has the balls to challenge them - unlike all the other pussies who take their weekly wage and kow tow to *word censored* Wenker, and as for Gazidis he's paid a fucking fortune and should get his arse back here NOW!...But he won't , why? cos the *word censored*'s probably blowing Kroenke as we speak - Gazidis *word censored* knew they weren't going to do a damn thing in response to RVP's request to Invest Properly.
But instead buy the equivalent of Tesco rejects.
WHERE'S THAT FUCKING BANNER!?
