Not the same situation, mate. If you're going to use that logic then we may as well criticize Giroud , Podolski & Cazorla for leaving their clubs.

Nah Lebron had a good enough team to at least get to the Finals for 3 years running.

Podolski's team got relegated and Cazorla's team wasn't paying his salary.

Your logic combating Bhends logic is poor.

Philly is my new team in the East :bow:

I know. I said that just so he could see how both logics don't match. Arsenal at least get reasonable players. Cleveland were offering washed up 35 year old players, average bench players & co.

by Swanhends Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:34 pm

RVP's situation is even worse than Lebrons...At least LBJ didn't go to one of his teams main rivals

ya great argument... this forum some times..

if you want to have a discussion how about you use words instead of emoticons

by Le Samourai Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:40 pm

Wenger made RVP , lets not forget that here. He converted him into a centre forward and stuck with him through all the years of injury when he couldve just as easily replaced him and cut his losses.

And eventually it paid off.

And now it has come back to bit him, because all those years of work with Van Persie has now lead to strengthening one of his clubs bigger rivals.

Why do you ALWAYS get upset when you see emoticons? How about trying not to derail almost every thread you're in?

Bravo on having the balls to criticize MY argument after you JUST responded with: "the fact that you're shocked just goes to show how little amount of sports you have watched"

Nothing like a nice quality dose of hypocrisy after dinner

You're a joke

by julias Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:44 pm

Psssh he left, good luck to him I'm not gonna hate on him or wish he gets injured or boo him when I go to the emirates

I'm still fond of that quality as with Nasri and Cesc but I have no respect for him anymore

He wanted to leave fair enough we weren't winning anything but to claim that he "loved" Arsenal and then join Man Utd directly from Arsenal lol dont insult the fans or the badge like that

Theres a reason why the last Arsenal - Utd transfer was before i was born nearly 25 years ago and the last Utd - Arsenal transfer before Silvestre was in 1981

It's not the done thing and virtually every player since has understood that RvP just shat on the shirt with this transfer

but oh well football moves on, he did well for us for more than just one season and he dragged us to that CL spot. Great player contributed a lot but time to move on, roll on Godolski :bow:

perhaps you missed the first part of the argument..

"as if lebron and rvp were the first to trade up"

or do you believe lebron and rvp were the first to trade up?

Of course they weren't, what kind of question is that?

Both of them were "star" players who apparently decided they weren't good enough to have a team built around them, so they jumped onto someone elses coat-tails in order to rise to the top

At least Lebron had the decency to go somewhere that isn't a rival

They both took the easy way out, and thats sad

Did MJ try to force a trade to Detroit after he failed to beat them in the playoffs 4 years running?

No, because he was a f*cking champion, not someone who gives up and ditches his team for their rival ffs..

True champions want to beat the best of the best...Not stack the teams in their favor - thats a hollow victory

Playing football for a living is not good enough...
Getting paid hundreds of thousands per week is not good enough...
Living the glamorous life of a footballer and being worshipped is not enough...
Playing for the club you (supposedly) love is not good enough...
Retiring at 35 with millions of $$$ is not good enough....

you HAVE to get a trophy in the next year or two. :facepalm:

it's all about perspective in life.

by VanDeezNuts Fri Aug 17, 2012 12:04 am

i only brought it up because you seemed shocked that a player would do something like that.

i dont know too much about basketball, i dont really follow it to be honest but didnt lebron go to a direct rival considering they are in the same league in the same eastern conference (had to wiki that)?

maybe rvp took the easy way out by going to united but i dont think its uncommon. people, imo, are singling this transfer out as bizarrely disrespectful which i disagree with.

by Die Borussen Fri Aug 17, 2012 12:07 am

must admit will feel very weird watching rvp with manu
