Looks like RVP will be the second striker to depart Old Trafford this summer (possibly third, depending on what happens with Hernandez). I know nothing is concrete yet, but the noises he is making seem to suggest his Old Trafford career has run it's course. Overall, I think it's money well spent, but he ought to leave now. He did what he was bought for - Fergie's last present to himself, to win the title before he retired on a high - and he probably needs one last challenge. I could see Serie A working out very well for him.

I would agree. I think Fergie retiring was a big disappoinment to him, and he's clearly not professional enough to put that to one side. I understand him being annoyed with Moyes, as he basically threw the specialised fitness regime devised for him out of the window - he never got injured in Fergie's last season, he was never fit under Moyes. I think he has just run out of steam for us, and if we can offload him, we should.

Looks like he'll be gone by this time next week. It's probably for the best. He's still got a few years left in him at a high level, but as Gordon Strachan once showed, when you run out of steam at a club, a move elsewhere is the only thing that will revitalise your career. Thanks for winning us number 20, Robin. That feat alone was worth the money!

Think it was the best thing for everyone that he moved on. He was awesome when we won number 20, but he's not been that player since then. And if he's not prepared to fight for the cause, then what's the point of him being here, on astronomical wages? He'll kick ass in the Turkish league, no doubt about it in my opinion.
