Yeah was an absolute joke. I honestly would have rather taken less money and let him go abroad then accept a deal from United
I don’t blame him though he knew his body wasn’t good enough to give him many more years at the top.

I don’t think selling him abroad cheaper necessarily helps us.
That’s the days when Arsenal were cheap fucking cunts.
They probably would have done something stupid like not sign Cazorla because we wouldn’t be breaking even.
Shit times.

Or it might have stopped the signing of Giroud

Didn’t we sign that shitter before we sold RVP? Or is my timeline off

Worth it. Could have ended the French Forrest Gump’s career right there.

You’re right. We signed Giroud and Cazorla before selling RvP.
Selling the best striker in the PL to our main rivals for them to win the title was bad enough but replacing him with Giroud was too much.
But true to form, we then kept Giroud for more than five seasons only to replace him with Lacazette.
It’s no wonder all our top players couldn’t get out fast enough.
What a way to run a top European football club.

What I like most about revisiting the topic of van Persie’s departure every six months or so is that people always make insightful and orignal points that we definitely haven’t read hundreds of times over the past decade.

Do you think he was forced out Jakey?
Never forget and now take great delight in their shitness on the European stage. The amount of stuff they had go their way during that period.

If Bendtner didnt take that hospital touch we would have won the CL that year. Also made Mascheranos career as a CB that Bendtner took a heavy shitty touch for him to slide tackle it.
