I remember seeing RVP pictured on the Mirror's Fantasy Football page when he was first signed as understudy to Henry. The caption was something like 'Rockin' Robin - Available for £5m' and I thought it sounded a waste as he wasn't likely to play ahead of Reyes
.
A fine player, one I always admired once he'd established himself at Arsenal and it was the stuff of dreams to sign him from them then have him power us to the league. Probably our last great signing (feck those who say he was too short-term for the money, if you have a season like that it's worth it
), an unfortunate casualty of Fergie leaving and sorely sorely missed given the lack of reliable quality we have now.
Good luck RVP and thanks.
