Paying the fee for RVP is one thing but to be honest no way would i want to pay 220K+ a week that's obscene, Ive read a few remarks from Arsenal fans and they are as gutted as we were when a certain Mr Torres left us with the same sickening words like I'm moving to a great club now!.

You just listed Henderson, Adam, Carroll and Downing as 4 of our worst players last season.
Then in the next sentence expect Arsenal to take them in part exchange for Van Persie?
I think paying £22million for a 29 year old with a poor injury record is a considerable risk.
I dont think we lacked balls I think we were very sensible.
Also I doubt very much that Van Persie was going to leave a club playing in the Champions League to play in the Europa League

Just look at the amounts of money they received for the likes of Nasri, Toure, Henry and now RVP just to name a few, all on their last year sort of speak. If they wanted to keep their best players why not have a 2 year cut off where a player signs a new contract? Most clubs do this but Arsenal let their players roll into their last year and guess what, they have Walcott now on the last year too if he doesn't sign a contract soon. I think they are just doing this to make money and continue to be a profitable business instead of keeping their stars and winnings things.

You maybe well be right Snake but I think it is more the board than Arsene. He has an ethos and principles that he isn't going to change and a club that will not become another Rangers or Portsmouth. I don't see much wrong with that.
If the reports are to be believed, he is on a staggering £250k a week. So that is around the sum he would have wanted to stay. What would they have to win to justify that. I'd rather give AW the same in transfer budget and go find another which he will.
It was the right play for the manager if he had the nod. How they ended up there is a different issue that the board need to justify.

Winning cups is just another means of making money. At the end of the day, it is vital that the club is run in a proper manner and I don't see another club in the country run as well as arsenal. Regarding the van persie saga....2 years ago Wenger probably didn't think it was worth giving a new contract to a player that was regularly injured and barely earnt the money he was being paid at the time. No one could have predicted he'd go on to stay fit and have such a storming season. I think last season was a one off for rvp and Wenger will have pulled off yet another master stroke in selling players at massive profit at the right time.
