"I've thought long and hard about it, but I have decided not to extend my contract," Van Persie, the club's captain and top scorer last season, wrote on his official website.

Let the bidding war begin. I highly doubt he will play for another Premier League club.

We'll see. He is dead to me.

I'm sure he's starring at himself in the mirror right now wearing sky blue.

Well at least we don't have anymore World Class players to lose next Summer. Now we just get to wait until Ox or Wilshere get really good and want to leave.

I was going to say Walcott will now want to go as well since he's contract is up in a year, but now he's most likely thinking he'll get to finally play up front.

Pogba to Juventus but everyone knew that was coming a while back.
Man Utd is going to become a feeder club soon with the inability to attract and retain players.

As far as I'm concerned he can go if he wants. He isn't anyone I'm going to lose any sleep over.

Its really sad but clubs like City and Chelsea are killing the sport for me. Its hard to attach yourself to a club when it loses its best players year after year after year to these big money clubs. I know its part of the game and all that but it still SUCKS!

But yet you like Real Madrid who took the bar and raised it to another level

CR7 - 90mil
Kaka - 65mil
Alonso - 30mil
Benzema - 35mil
Albiol - 15mil
Ozil - 15mil
Di Maria - 25mil
Khederia - 12mil
Leon - 10mil
Contreoau - 30mil
Sahin - 10mil
Varane - 10mil

What were Citeh & Chelsea supposed to do in order to crack the elite of World Football?

If you want to attract elite talent you need to break out the checkbook and pay those high wages.

RVP didn't owe Arsenal **** IMO. He sat back and watched the club lose their best players (in their prime too). Is he supposed to waste his prime too chasing 3rd place finishes, Carling Cup titles, and Round of 16 exits from the UCL?

Now, look at these buys and compare them to the likes of United, Chelsea, and Citeh:

10-11 Koscielny 10M, Squillaci 4M
11-12 Gervinho 10.6M, AOC 12M, Park 3M, Santos 6.2M, Arteta 10M, Mertesacker 10M
