Is not a shame the way he left the club, I say this as an Arsenal fan, when Van persie left the club it was painful for me but I understood his decision and why he took the decision I blame the board of the club at that time they didn’t show ambition to challenge for trophies, they didn’t sign quality players that’s why many great players the likeness of Henry, Fabregas, Nasri, Van Persie and so on left the club , at the end of the day, great players need to win things and if you don’t show ambition they will leave.
When our club only looked to finish 4th place every season, to sell our 2nd and 3rd best players on the team, any ambitious player who looked to win trophies were definitely leaving us. That's why I will never blame RVP for leaving us.
Ka Chun Yuen True, buying Giroud and Podolski was not ambitious enough in my opinion. Even though Giroud eventually proved to be an excellent signing considering he costed 12 million and he was Ligue 1 champion and topscorer.
Some players can be classified as either a great goal scorer or a scorer of great goals - but RVP was truly both this season. His absurd technique made pretty much every goal he scored seem like a work of art.
People call him a snake or judas but what he did is completely understandable. Arsenal had no ambition to seriously compete at the top so he left for a team that could (unfortunately it was our rivals)
@@danielo7985 and who wasn't arsenal's rival at the time? He only got 3 good offers. 2 from the PL and 1 abroad. Offer abroad was gone rather quickly, so he was left with 2 offers from respectively Man City and Man United (and no offer from his own club Arsenal). What the fuck could he have done otherwise? Getting tired of people blaming him for his choices, so dumb.
@@nuadu03 Not completely true. He is admired by all the Italian giants for over a decade. Its almost emberassing the kind of devotion they have for him. Especcialy the owners of inter and juventus. He choose to leave for ManU, and even later to Fener. They just love the elegant, technical players like him.
I tried so hard to hate on this guy, but in the end I always find myself watching his Arsenal's highlight. I just can't hate this guy as much as I want to cause he definitely gives his everything for the club and all I gotta say is thank you RVP for all the moments that you have with Arsenal. Once a gunner always a gunner!
His transfer to United still hurts me, my favourite Emirates era player. It’s a shame injuries wrecked the early part of his career because with him fit full time, we could have gone on to achieve so much more. I can’t hate him just because he was so good, it just hurts man.
Nuno Martins I’ve rewatched the majority of our games from 2011/12 season and he was better than what people think. He lacked end product but created so many chances from the left flank cause he was so good 1v1. The balance in our attack was so good with Gervinho on the left able to go inside and out with pace and dribbling quality, van persie up front with excellent movement and finishing, and Walcott on the right who was able to go in behind and create space for our midfielders. Underrated team
His left foot and finishing is so deadly,keeper barely can save,I still remember one match vs Liverpool,he score the winning goal from just two shot while Suarez get zero goal when almost having 10shot
This was the arsenal player i became a Gooner for 10 years ago. He was a beast back in 11/12, a genuine world class player and a game changer. He could work out matches on his own, single handedly.
Yeah at the time it was okay. At the time it was pretty decent. I wouldn’t call it “insane” though, Gervinho was just a decent supplier, that was his job, nowadays there are much better partnerships. Son and Kane for example, they genuinely know each other inside out. Chemistry is second to none.
honestly this is my first season to watch most of arsenal completely. I fall in love with his artistic finish and connections with Song. His leaving in summer hurt me a lot and made me value loyalty more
While he did leave us after this remarkable season, RVP, if only for one season, showed to us and to everyone else, what an absolute world beater he could have been had injuries not been so cruel to him. Technical mastery at its best.
i remember thinking when he won the golden boot that season "yes! we can win the league next season(due to his current form that time)"...and then,well we all know what happened.
though I really thought we were going to win the league in the 2013/14 season. We were at the top, but we all know what happens when the 2nd half of the season arrives. 7 points off first in the end. The Ramsey Ozil duo.
Cazorla was a great buy so was podolski along with Giroud if van pussy stayed we would have won the league. Mertesacker and Kos were looking decent. Theo was on top of his game along Ramsey I’m 100 % sure we would of won the league. Liverpool almost did with a dead team except for Suarez and sturidge.
@@betootaadvocate1966 True dat With Persie and that 13/14 squad we could've won the league but you know.. it's Arsenal They'd find a way to f**k it up like they always do
My all time favourite. I'm not even mad at the way he left, just shows the lack of ambition our club had in the last decade. Sad story, because he clearly was a great, great player. If only our club woke up in 2008 and not in 2018.
as a united fan he did a lot 4 us he scored great goals vs west brom and a beauty vs villa which won us the leauge and that freekick vs olympiacos and hattrick but his peak was at arsenal
The story of Songs chip ball and RVP volley was such a treat to watch that, almost always when the dead lock couldn't be broken those 2 paired with the same kind of goal... Best part was Henry scoring and he ran and jump towards the King Henry 😭❤️
My all-time fav player! wicked left foot whip...stayed as long as he could but after netherlands lost the world cup finals, I knew he would leave. With his skills, he should win something. Sad that he did it with a rival club.
There are a lots of spectacular goals to watch on RUclips. This one of only a few where I still find myself asking, "How the F*** did he do that?" Amazing.
He left Arsenal at the beginning of the season, when we lost 8-2. His duo with Wolcott was something special, and Teo wanted him to stay, but he left and broke hearts of the fans, teammates and his coach
i honestly miss this guy, i know he left for united but he wanted a league title and arsenal at the time could not give him that. He had everything could dribble, finish sure he didn’t have electric pace but his positioning was so good he didn’t need it his technical ability was just unreal just sad injuries ruined what would of been ❤️
rvp was insane this season, he was scoring in literally every game and in a lot of matches the only scorer. Without him this season we probably would have been a mid-table club
After the game against Tottenham last day, i came back here and wished we got someone like him in this incredible squad we got now. He is the last of piece we need to win everything
RvP a lethal finisher and what a leftie. However, DB10 still the only one leaving the best memories with that shirt number and achieved The Invincibles season and unforgettable league title with Arsenal. RvP a Man Utd legend in history and that's that...
Any one notice how most of all these are genius tap-ins. Papa Wenger knew how to set up a team. And actually Fabregas was all that was holding down this Arsene master class. if only Nasri had stayed Fabregas would never have been missed in Arsenal's history
In a way u can’t blame him even tho he did what he did. How frustrating must it have been for him to see the team get progressively worse and worse with no investment and not challenging for trophies.
So don't get me wrong, but the 2011/12 season was probaly the best season i have ever watched as a Arsenal Fan. I dont really know how i can explain it. It was not the best team, we have lost so much good players, but this teams had something else. We failed, yes, but after all this team prodused some pure magic.

Had he’d left when we were bringing in big names and actually putting on a title run I would have agreed with you. But we weren’t and he wasn’t going to wait any longer in his prime. I don’t blame him, I blamed the club for not surrounding him with better talent.
I actually thought he would become an Arsenal legend after this season. It was a shame he left the way he did 😔

Will always remember this RvP masterclass 11/12 season. It was a joy
Nothing Beat that Hat-trick Against Chelsea... Always love him thou, one of the Best left shooter I ever seen!
It was my first time watching at least 90% of Arsenal's game so he was like a superhero for me, and always will be when i remember that season 👌🏾
Same
Even the season before.
His right foot was so underrated as well...
very underrated.
He used to call it his "chocolate foot"
Henry, alexis, rvp all left because they didn't like the direction the club was going In. And they were all correct

It wasn’t insane loooooool. You don’t watch ball with your eyes.
@@francisdubem5084 What fan are you
If Gervinho was a better goal scorer who knows maybe arsenal would have challenged for the league almost every year
