Robin van Persie (Arsenal→Man Utd)

只是做個紀錄，當初想說的話很多，
現在卻說不出口了。(9/20)

Update for the fans (via)
　　如大家所知，本賽季結束後我與溫格及加齊迪斯先生進行了一次會談。這次會面主要談及了球隊未來戰略及政策，並未涉及合同問題，這也不是我所關心的。
　　就我個人而言，我剛剛經歷了一個偉大的賽季。但是我的目標是贏取獎盃，帶領球隊重回光輝歲月。我不想透露過多細節，儘管我非常尊敬溫格先生，我的隊友及球迷們，但是這次會面讓我清楚，在阿森納未來如何發展的問題上，我與俱樂部存在著許多分歧。

　　我考慮了很久，但我現在決定不與球隊續約。
　　我的球迷朋友們，你們有權不同意我的觀點和決定，而我會一直尊重你們的觀點。
　　無論發生什麼，我都熱愛這傢俱樂部，熱愛這裡的球迷。在阿森納的歲月，我成長為一個真正的男人。俱樂部裡的每一個人，每一位球迷在過去的幾年中都一直給予我支持。而我無論在場上場下也都已盡我所能為球隊奉獻。
　　能在過去的8年裡成為這家偉大俱樂部的一份子，我很自豪。當加齊迪斯先生結束在美國的兩週假期回到倫敦時，我們會進一步的會面。屆時如果有新的消息，我會通知大家。

This is an update for the fans about my current situation. I have kept quiet all this time out of respect and loyalty for the club and as agreed with Mr. Gazidis and Mr. Wenger, but since there is so much speculation in the media, I think it is fair for you guys to know what’s really going on at the moment.

As announced earlier this year I had a meeting with the Boss and Mr. Gazidis after the season. This was a meeting about the club’s future strategy and their policy. Financial terms or a contract have not been discussed, since that is not my priority at all.

I personally have had a great season but my goal has been to win trophies with the team and to bring the club back to its glory days. Out of my huge respect for Mr. Wenger, the players and the fans I don’t want to go into any details, but unfortunately in this meeting it has again become clear to me that we in many aspects disagree on the way Arsenal FC should move forward.

I’ve thought long and hard about it, but I have decided not to extend my contract. You guys, the fans, have of course the right to disagree with my view and decision and I will always respect your opinions.

I love the club and the fans, no matter what happens. I have grown up and became a man during my time with Arsenal FC. Everybody at the club and the fans have always supported me over the years and I have always given my all (and more) on and off the pitch. I am very proud of being part of this fantastic club for the last 8 years. As soon as Mr. Gazidis is back from his 2-week holiday in America further meetings will follow and I will update you if and when there are more developments.
