Never in a million years

Did I ever think we did be so pathetic as to sell our best player to a rival like Utd

Really sad to see my beloved Arsenal having its very best player being linked to a bitter rival like Utd....We can all agree that Fergie will never in a million years sell a Rooney in top form to any rival let alone Arsenal. So really why are we doing exactly what our rivals will never do. I really dont think we need the money we are going to get from Utd. Tbh I dont see them paying 20m pounds plus for RVP, so do we really want to strengthen our close rival & weaken ourselves all because of 20m pounds. Such a thing could adversely affect us right uptil next season. Podolski & Giroud have proven themselves in the EPL & it will be quite silly to pin all hope on them.We all know how bad their finances are so why should behave as if we are as broke as Rangers.

p.s. all those fans demanding we let go of RVP to Utd (or any other rival) is quite stupid and will live to regret that decision before next season is over.

Mark my words.

Man City are not our rivals though, they're just living the dream atm. You think they're going to stay at the top forever? Every dog has its day. Man City will fade away within 10 years. They're not traditionally our rivals, Man Utd are and always will be.

I really can't see RVP joining them.

The difference is that United will give us maybe £12m for Van Persie.

Are you serious? We're not that stingy, I know our financial strength isn't great but if RVP does come to United it'll be for at least £20m

United or City are not our rivals anymore and won't be until we inject some winning mentality into our club.

However, selling our best player to a club in our own league has and always will be a moral kick in the bolox and the step in the wrong direction.

Barring either Manchester offering very silly money (£25m+), i would prefer to sell to a Foreign club or just hold onto him.
