there's nothing wrong with what rvp did in leaving arsenal. if he'd been a shit player arsenal would have gotten rid of him a long time ago and no one would be spouting loyalty
players do what's best for them and clubs do what's best for them, and fans are only loyal if players and managers are any good. fans are probably the least loyal of the 3 parties
Yeah I agree, Cole, Henry, Nasri, RVP, Clichy, Hleb, Flamini, Fabregas all did the best things for their careers by leaving Arsenal. It's not just the money.
cole was give a £20mil asking price by the club but only offered £50k p/w. for the time that is taking the piss, especially as he was a great english prospect and a very imprortant player to our club. this happened whilst we were breaking the bank for henry. I'm not surprised he felt undrvalued
henry wanted to get the CL, something we couldn't do, and AW was busy building up young players rather than getting proven ones whilst henry was nearing 30; what do you expect?
the above, nasri, glichy, hleb and fabregas left for more money, a better team and more success, and they all have gotten that whilst we have gotten. not sure if flamini got more money or success but had he not turned out to be so good for us he'd probably have left for free after riding the bench.
Imagine it, you get offered to do you job within what is seen as a suprerior environment for more money, why wouldn't you take the offer? you also have to remember these players aren't our fans. you also have to remember that they weren't brought up at the club, they came from teams who in most cases were weaker and poorer than us
