I think you are wrong blueflame and you need to get off your high horse. Arsenal have plenty of good players remaining, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Wallcott, Podolski, Giroud. Who cares if RVP leaves, it's only counter productive if he was begged to stay. His move to Manchester City does not mean it will definately work out, look at what happened to Nasri etc, joined and it took a full season to find its feet. The gunners have an excellent youth team, and a good finance so in all honesty this could be a good thing.
