Don't know what reaction this will get. at the time that RVP made his statement about the club not matching his ambition I agreed with him. Since then everything at Arsenal has only made his decision look more correct. Now we are talking about Ozil and Sanchez in the same way. So was RVP really such a traitor?

As it's always said "the truth hurts". What's happening now and what has happened since his departure is simple enough to justify his statement.

Rvp did as others do and it is not only arsenal involved, he went to another club to win trophies and better himself. That goes for anything in life people want more and they are entitled if they have a talent or desire to go and get it. You are only here once and the truth is you can't blame them.

I have never understood the hatred towards RVP.
Sure, he could have shown more loyalty, we stood by him through 7 years of injuries and on his one injury-free season he smashed in 33 goals for us and departed.
But, he wanted to win things and was justified by winning PL in his first season at Utd.
All's fair in love and war.

With van persie I see both sides because of the time we paid his wages while he was unavailable, its a bit like Jack having one good season and demanding a move.
On the plus side for rvp he wasnt getting any younger and apart from money had nothing to show for his career but had seen many former team mates leave and win things so on that side its hard to fault him.

Plus, we spent the £24m on team strengthening.
We got Sanogo on a free.

No he was right. If Wenger had signed 3 world class players that window he stays.
