		<description><![CDATA[Whoever was responsible for this deal should be thrown out of the club.

It&#039;s not an issue that RvP was sold, it&#039;s an issue of who he has been sold to.

I&#039;ve never bought the media drivel that buying expensive or &quot;big&quot; constitutes &quot;ambition&quot;, but this sale to a team who Arsenal fans up until now would have seen as a rival signals such a monumental lack of ambition on the part of the club that whoever was responsible for this cannot be tolerated at the club, no matter who that person was, Wenger, Gazidis, Kroenke, whoever.

Whoever thought this was a good idea should be physically removed from the premises.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RVP today, Wilshere and AOC tomorrow.

This is a sad day for Arsenal. It does not make financial sense to sell your best player and player of the year to a rival. Not when your commercial revenue is less than half that of your former rivals.

Exactly which fans/ sponsors / partners are going to be attracted by this sale?
In selling once more to a rival, Arsenal have confirmed to the world that they have no ambition on the field except to get as much money as they can from anyone for their players.

As a football club they will go from being in decline to collapse and to be honest bring it on because its the only way to get rid of the parasites that run the club.]]></description>
