You see the comparison?
Arsenal have sold van Persie and received in return no competitive assistance. I compared this to trading Iginla for nothing. In each instance a star player is given to a rival team with no competitive return hence the comparison.
Furthermore these are two teams that compete directly against one another. The Flames/Canucks are in the same division, they play many games against one another, competing for a playoff spot. Arsenal/United are competing for the same trophies and could play many games against each other?
In this way you see that a team has moved a star to a rival at their own detriment.
In no way were fans even entered into the equation in any way, that was your own 'clinical disillusionment.'
Are we clear now? Having to explain the whole thing took all of the fun out of it.
