claudius, so are wenger's loyalties to van persie or to arsenal? once it became apparent that his only real option was united, that's when he should've turned to him and said, sorry, we can't sell you to united and you know why.
as for van persie, he was a striker soon to turn 30, who'd just had his first injury-free season in years. he would have, at most, 2-3 opportunities left to play a meaningful role in a title-winning club. he understandably felt he had to leave that season, no matter what. he'd given arsenal the 8 years of his prime. how is that f*ing the fans?
or do we demand players to sign over their entire careers to arsenal, even if that means they'll never win anything? that's ludicrous.
