I think he's got a valid point, he loves the club, but if he's not going to be able to perform for the shirt, it's time to move on.
But it's a sign of a good footballer that he WANTS to play, he WANTS to be out there contributing. Arsene just hasn't seen the opportunities to play him, not with our current front line firing on all cylinders. But God knows we really do need him, as Chamakh has lost all form since RvP's return. NB52's the best striker we have after RvP, hands down. Double digit goals off the bench? That's rare to find.
He's got a real quality about him (goal against Ipswich was ridiculously good). If he can ever channel THAT form consistently, he would be starting along side Robin van Persie, not waiting for those Dutch chocolate legs to fall off before getting his chance. I don't think he's itching to leave Arsenal, he's just really, really, wanting to play. I hope we don't lose him, regardless of his sometimes maddening whiffs through on goal.
