While I don't think he'll be able to provide the impact RvP had last season, I do think he'll be able to replace the goals we should be expecting from our striker.
A collective effort from the entire squad will be required to replace RvP's impact from last season.

Arsenal are trying to make a statement this summer and allowing him to stay would be taking a couple of steps backward. They need to show that you are either 'in' or 'in the way' and that all obstacles will be removed. As his statement, which is almost un-retractable, shows he is clearly not 'in' with the Arsenal. As such, he must leave.
How can this be done? Tell him he can either lower his wage demands to push through a deal we find acceptable or he can rot on the bench. As part of this stance, we should have left him off the plane to Germany this week. Arsenal must sell him.
