@@TheChampIsHere_ that wasn't an option

rvp did ask for players and they bought Podolski, Cazorla and Giroud before he decided to leave anyway.

I don’t count Fabregas because he wanted to go to Barcelona. Ashley Cole is also a completely different situation. But this was the first contract running down to one year, then Nasri, Wilshere, Alexis, Ramsey and so on continued the trend of poor player and contract management. Vieira was a similar situation so is this evidence it’s more Wenger’s influence than Gazidas’?

@@DeejayBigG and Robert Pires was a shocking error . He wanted a 2 year contract but arsenal didn't offer any player 30 or older more than a 1 year deal !! Nuts

why are people forgetting AW and gazidas had to work with little money lol. They didn't renew contracts on purpose because they were still paying off the stadium. People just forget how poor Arsenal were for 10 years and it showed numerous times on how many players were purchased and how much they spent before 2013. Best example was when alex song left for Barca because he wanted to renew his contract but they couldn't afford a renewal at the time. RVP wanted 200k and they couldn't give him that.

@@kshitijagr Van Persie carried us for 2-3 seasons. We got Giroud, Poldoski and Cazorla, so it was not all bad. They all gave us good moments

@@finding_aether Cazorla was a great player but unfortunately injured too often. Also the squad had Rosicky, Wilshere or Ramsey as playmakers so the position wasn't exactly vacant. Giroud was good but was critizised year after year for not being able to keep up with the greatest strikers. Podolski had a few good games but was soon benched and offered next to nothing on the wings. In the end Arsenal let the best striker of the Premiere League leave to their greatest rivals without replacing him. This happened after their two best midfield players Fabregas and Nasri already left. My guess is that this was in a time where Wenger was obsessed with developing young players and thought Theo Walcott could be the main man. But for me it was quite a shame that a team that perhaps needed 3 more players to compete against the best teams of the world disintegrated within 2 years to become irrelevant on the big stage.

he made like 30 goals? more? he was litterally responsible for utd winning that trophy that season. insane.

Football makes people Emotional but i got ur Logical, Accurate explanation...😜

Invest in their youth then sell them to barcelona what is the use then?

Straight facts

Thierry Henry said the exact same thing

Luuk van Krugten that’s very true. Wenger was his own worst enemy. When he had a great team going he didn’t spend on a key area. We had arshavin fabregas , nasri rvp, sagna etc. than he didn’t spend on a goaly. We had almunia🤦🏽‍♀️. Also we needed a CB and CDM

Was probably multiple things that built up

Cesc was different he kind of forced his way out to Barca and Henry was understandable since he wanted CL and the only way was leave...this are completely different scenarios compared to Viera or RVP

@@steveomo2001 Cesc forced himself out because the club lacked ambition. There's a video about it as well on why he left. Arsenal literally don't care about winning. It's extremely sad to see.

@@hesoyammy9438 It was all to Wenger...people think the great arsenal came from academy, Wenger built the dynasty through buying...Henry, Viera, Ljungberg,Lauren, Edu,Pires, Sylvinho, Pires, Campbell(free), Bergkamp....it got to a point Wenger just stopped signing and that when the exodus began...he became cheap

@@steveomo2001 no, the board didn't financially back him

@@steveomo2001 part of why I stopped watching football from 2008. Got back into it in 2019 and Arsenal are even shitter than back then

It is surely there. He really wanted to win the league, albeit with Arsenal

@@MrPedrojosec hopefully what happened to his old man won't happen to him

the game has changed. the true #9 role is slowly becoming a thing of the past. wingers cutting inside and popping off shots are the new "strikers." Messi and Ronaldo are perfect examples of the winger turned scorer.

Wenger would gave us 3rd or 4th with djorou and denilson, we were too unthankful

Yes the old regime were stupid to let his contract run down BUT he was offered a new deal, besides why would Arsenal extend his contract in those injury prone years? Dude missed whole seasons!

He still loves arsenal but had to leave because the club was going backwards and he was never going to win anything. Retarded fans still abuse him

@@gunner0479 I won't begrudge RVP pursuit personal glory. Most arsenal fans still love RVP. The amount of wonder moment he brought to the club is enough in itself. But I think a lot of fans would have worshiped a player whom loyal to the club like the fans themselves. Let's not forget fans pays thousands to be able to watch the club playing, whereas the players gets paid hundreds of thousands to play for the club. So a bit loyalty goes a long way. The prime example would be Francesco Totti. I am sure RVP would've loved the same endings like Totti, so would all the Arsenal fans. But he would have to settle for less pay and no league wins in his life. RVP is a far too ambitious and less sentimental person for that to happen.

@@kaiyuzheng7663 yes most of the best players are very competitive and ambitious and they deserve to be because they work hard to be great. There's only afew players that would stay and most of those grew up as a fan of thier clubs like gerrard for example, and even he won the champions league so we don't know if he would have left if he had won nothing. Kroenke ruined the club. He made us non competitive and made players have to leave to be successful. He deserves the abuse.
