Re: ***The Official Arsenal Gunners" Thread***
If Walcott leaves too, then yes, we have a real problem on our hands.
I am not, however, willing to throw in the towel on next season or the club's future in general, all because RVP pulled a jerk move in the way he handled wanting to leave the club.
Yes, Arsenal's wage structure is a joke. Yes, the financial system in soccer that allows clubs like Man City to buy titles is broken (and since I doubt "Financial Fair Play" will be enforced, this isn't going to end anytime soon).
However, before the RVP news broke we were all praising the club for buying Podolski and Giroud and for getting things done quickly for once. And I don't think any of us thought Arsenal's transfer business was done. If we reinvest the money we get for RVP in 1 or 2 top quality players, I'll be ecstatic.
This doesn't mean I'm not upset right now, but I think we all have to wait and see what the end result of this whole RVP fiasco is before we start the doom-and-gloom scenarios.
