I couldn't think of enough words to describe how betrayed i feel as a Gunner. But on the other hand Arsenal's board need to take a look at themselves, In two years we've sold Clichy, Nasri, Fabregas, Robin, and look set to lose Alex Song (Barcelona), with Theo also on the brink of leaving.
Ex players of ours on our rival clubs;
United-RVP
City- Nasri, Clichy, Kolo Toure, Stuart Taylor, and Yaya was once at Arsenal on trial.
Spurs- Gallas, Adebayor (if he left city, not sure)
Chelsea- Ashley Cole
WTF board, get your shite together.

Who cares about loyalty when you're in the world of winning. It sucks to see a player go from your favorite team but if you had the chance to go to a team with a massive trophy collection wouldn't you? Is the one Boateng brother a dick for playing for Germany because it gives him a better chance at a world or euro cup, or should he have stayed with Ghana. Some people will stay at an original club which is loyal and I can respect that, but you shouldn't give up the chance to win a major trophy, why do we play the game in the first place.
Cascades, if it's all about winning then why was he even playing at Arsenal in the first place? He will be remembered more for his defection rather than any trophies that he stands to win at Manchester.
RVP played for Feynoord 2001-2004, not exactly a "world" name in soccer. They won a UEFA Cup 2001-2002 and were runners up in the UEFA Super Cup in 2002. While he was at Feynoord, Arsenal won 2 League Titles 2002-2003, 2003-2004, also in 04 they went undefeated. 2 FA Cups, back to back (2002,2003) 2 Community Shields 2002 and 2004. The undefeated team, had Henry, Berkamp, Campbell, Cole, Ljundberg, Fabregas, why would you not leave Feynoord for Arsenal?

Get your facts right, Stuart Taylor isn't with us anymore. As usual making shite up
And Yaya is a stretch
Win trophies? United have an abundance of older players, Evra 31, Ferdinand 33, Vidic 30, Scholes 37, Giggs 38, and what youth coming through?
How old do you think United is?
No youth coming through? Really? None? Jones (20), Welback (21), Smalling (22), Di Silva's (22), and Cleaverly (23). You also have DeGea (21) and Kagawa (23). Then you have Hernandez (24), Anderson (24), Evans (24), Nani (25) etc...
I'm just being bitter, i know United have youth. I'm just trying to understand his decision other than money. I think had he of decided to stay then Arsenal would of been able to challenge with City, United, and Chelsea after the 3 signings we made this summer, it just doesn't make sense for him to betray Arsenal.
Betray is a strong word. He's a pro athlete. It's a business. Ffs, he's a business.
