Hi all, haven't posted in a long time but still addicted to this site. Read this morning that Manchester United will look to buy TV5 in the summer to replace vidic, price in the region of £12m.

My question is would anyone take a swap? RatVP for TV5?

I hope TV5 stays but I can't blame him if he wants to leave in search of first team football, he's a quality centre half and I'd hate it if he signed for the Manc's.

Personally I wouldn't want to see RVP back in an arsenal shirt, he's burnt his bridges at Arsenal and their can't be any turning back for him.

What do the rest of you think?

Let TV go, he isn't the player he was when he first came to the club, not playing hasn't helped, but he needs to go. look at his mistake yesterday which very nearly gifted Everton a 2nd goal.

Firstly response to 'Goldboy'. i'm an local boy to Arsenal, live round the back of Highbury.

Anyway, PeterC, I am also very intrigued in what's happening with RVP, Idefinitely think he is out of United in the summer, but interestingly to me is how its coming about. It looks to me as if both club and player know he is out the door. More interestingly to me anyway, I was told about RVP returning to Arsenal in November I think it was. I dismissed it at the time, but then later came the full blooded talk in January and Feb.

The things I look at are these, firstly was Wenger's reaction to being asked about us looking at resigning RVP, and he just sort of sat there with a smug look on his face and wouldn't be drawn into the question at all, then in the game RVP was absolutely terrible. He played like a man who didn't want to score. I have seen this type of play before in another ex Arsenal player. Does anyone remeber How Henry played on his return with Barca, he had no interest in playing against us at all.

Roll on a few weeks and RVP has continued to lay into United and the tactics, also United give Rooney ridiculous money, for a player who was almost out the door. to me it all looks very dodgy.

As for RVP back at Arsenal. I THINK IT COULD VERY WELL HAPPEN. That right I said it! The truth is as fans we hate anyone that turns their back on us. We treat them like a partner whose just cheated on us, won the lottery and taken a sh*t and posted it through our letterbox. BUT in football terms it actually makes good sense. We all agree if we had RVP this season we would be top of the league and clear. As much as I like Girouds effort, all of our current strikers put together are still not as good as RVP. We need a striker a top one at that, so who do you really see us signing? The top talents take top money and I doubt Wenger will spend over 30m for a striker. RVP will probably cost about 12m-15m he knows the system, knows the players, and will come in with minimal ego. Wenger will know doubt punish him in contractual terms for his actions, but if we are honest, Wenger does not hold grudges like we do. Flamini is a prime example, he was one of the first to start the leaving culture we are now used to, but look at him this season, can we honestly say that he wasnt a good signing? Even Bendtner! We get behind him and sing his name.

So with that in mind I for one wouldn't mind him back, but I won't go as far to say I will be getting a shirt with his name on it! But let him scpre a few goals and reluctantly we will get behind him again.

Anyway on to Bayern, I still firmly believe we do actually play better without Jack at the moment, we start with Chambo and Rosicky and we have every chance. Well done to TV5 aswell good to see him back and playing well enough.

The life of a football fan is a hard emotional one!.

RVP is 31 and still a bit of a risk with injuries. I think having him would mean less esprit de corps among the team as he is totally self centred, arrogant and greedy.
WE are where because we have a great team spirit, good policies and good team management. Why would we like to throw all that away- with still no guarantee success- we didn't exactly win a million trophies BECAUSE he played for us

I'm disgusted by myself, but, yes. I would have home back

RVP. back

WTF. not a cat in 'e'lls chance, the way he celebrated against us was disgusting. He has no respect for a club that stood by him. it isn't like Henry or Cesc who actually love us, bring them back any day of the week. RVP. will spend more time on the treatment table. he can sod off
