We are not winning anything because if back stabbers like this one. He wont replicate what he did last season even at United. At least we will have got rid of another arrogant individual who thinks he is better than our club. There he will neet his match in Fergie who will put him in the forgotten men list like Berba as quick as possible. I know I an bitter about this transfer, and have a feeling that he will even fail the medical which will make matters worse for him.
thanx sir fergie, whtever thy may say, u got ur man….. wondrful job.
Let’s hope RVP does not injure himself getting up to Manchester(!!) I reckon we have bought very good replacements.
Note to Ren–you are definitely bitter !!!
So when Players leave Arsenal you label them back stabbers…but when players come to Arsenal what label do you attach?…Name more than 2 players that started their careers at Arsenal that are on the field at the same time…hard isn’t it and yes, in your small little myopic world, these players ‘back stabbed the clubs that Arsenal purchased them from..It really is that simple Ren my friend…You can’t have it both ways…Nooooo, you can’t
Correct. And it is not realistic to expect players to be long term loyal … if they were not born near Holloway Road or have not always been Gunner fans. All you can expect is that in return for their ludicrously high wages … they do their best while with us. Most of them have.
if this deal happen it be very impresive deal.it may be this 2012/2013 titles is for man u.
welcome RVP 13. dis tym, u make ur dreams come true by making MANCHESTER UNITED’s dream happen. Dat is, giving us our title number 20. GGMU
U are highly welcome RVP, u make a good choice
RVP is an excellent player but Man. Utd. may well regret spending some £65m in total over 4 years. He will be worth nothing by then and may get injured meanwhile. Remember he has had one great season out of the last five !!
I sincerely hope that TV5 ruptures his cruciates when the teams meet at the Emirates. RVP – R.I.P
You my man are seriously in need of help! Wow, didn’t know that folks like you still existed…Wow!!!!!!
Wlcm vp 2 old travold
Let him go.
There was a proverb that says;A STURBORN RAT WILL BE KILLED BY A GREAT CAT.
He has made his wishes but he his no more a gooner legend.
Eb—what he is my friend is a player with a paycheck that is deserving of a player of his stature AND he is a player with a club that wins trophies!
Legend–how quaint…I’m sure he’ll get over the Legend thing!
U’r highly welcome to the Theatre of Dream mr VP
Ha! At last, Alex won the deal of RVP, Now Man u as increase, in the qualitative squad.
Hope he likes curry…..

Cole left and won multiple EPL’s and the CL….Nasri moved on and finally won the EPL and other Cups…Fabby moved on and all he has done is win at Barca… RVP will finally know what winning feels like…Feel good for him Femi….Calm down

Yeh I’m very happy with the tranfer well done sir fergie
i’m sad, really really sad
Are Manchester United/Chelsea “buying” the league. Why can they buy players for 25/35/45 million without the press going nuts about buying the league. Fair play should take into account that United are spending way above their means, first they should clear the 350 mil they owe before they should be allowed to spend.
Iam very happy to see rvp at man united jersey
Rvp tanks 4 coming 2 man u home of chapions
RVP and Kagawa superb acquisition.their real derby is the match against fulham.these two should start the game.they played well when RVP came in at everton.
