Very disappointed in Van Persie.

If he wanted to leave then fine but he has made sure he has done it in a way that makes it difficult to hold him to the final year of his contract. It would be difficult to have him stay after this statement. He has done it to try and force a move and do it in away to ensure little money as possible to the club that supported him all these years.

He talks about ambition. The transfer window is in it's early days and yet we've signed two quality towards already. We're in the market for a another midfielder. It's just a cynical ploy to get the fans on board and none of us are buying it. He wants a big pay day, that is all. He is entitled to that if he wants it but like Nasri before him he in ensuring that he screws over Arsenal at the same time.

Arsenal didn't know he was releasing this statement. Horrible way to treat the club and manager who stuck by him all those seasons where is hardly played a game due to injury, Wenger stuck by him all the time and he turns around and does this to him.

Sell him, let's move on.
