afc Arshavin

[MF Cunt]

We've got to use what resources we have, something we wouldnt have had to do, if we signed some one in january,... i wouldnt be suprised to see johan djourou play at cb or lb...

[TF S4DK]

If Arshavin started to play in the hole, I'll be honest, I'd probably think Wenger has signed Eden Hazard and is just trying to see/iron out the balance of the team for the next season.

Honestly I think Arshavin is finished here.

[MF Cunt]

i dunno man, we are still in three different competitions (2 and a run in for 4th), i havent seen yossi for a few games now, the ox had a tuff game against richardson, arshavin is still a bit more experienced...

[O Fenomeno]

You lot watched Milan this season?

[TF S4DK]

Nope.

[The New Diaby]

You lot watched Milan this season?

Yes, what do you want to know about them?

[MF Cunt]

they have had there slip ups this month, but they beat udinese

[The New Diaby]

Milan won't win the league, they've got lucky a bit like Tottenham this year.

[O Fenomeno]

They have been rubbish in all their big games so far.

Udinese was their first win in a big game this season and didn't even deserve to win that game.

Abate has gone backwards this season so it means Arsenal are going to destroy Milan down the flanks like never before.

Their midfield is full of work horses without zero creativity apart from Seedorf( but his legs has gone and has become once again undroppable)

Boateng is doubtful so without him there is no dynamic in their midfield.

Cassano still leads their assists list and he hasn't been around for ages, Aqua is 2nd but he is also injured.

Zlatan/Robinho always seem to go missing in these type of games IMO SES should play from the start.

In Thiago Silva they have a real classy defender but it's Mexes/LB which are going to be their real weakness.

[The New Diaby]

Abate has gone backwards this season so it means Arsenal are going to destroy Milan down the flanks like never before.

Abate provides the width but might come from both flanks if Mesbah starts.

The thing with Milan's players(Ibra,Robinho,SES,Nocerino they love operating on the left)

A team that loves operating down the flanks with a full back that provides width is apparently going to get destroyed down the flanks

You couldn't make it up could ya

[O Fenomeno]

Abate provides width going forward but it wont stop him and LB from being raped by Arsenal's pace

FFS you never seen Milan's one pace football

You're an Arsenal fan & you're asking that question?

Andrey Arshavin wants to return to Arsenal after his loan spell with Zenit St Petersburg ends.

The 30-year-old joined his former club on loan until the end of the season after enduring the wrath of the Arsenal boo boys following a run of poor form.

But Arshavin, who joined the north London club in 2009, is keen to extend his stay at the Emirates.

'Of course, yes,' Arshavin said when asked if he would return to the Gunners in the summer.

'Every player does not want to sit on the bench or the stands and watch the action from there,' he told RT Sports.

'When I was at Arsenal, I always wanted to play and not sit on the sidelines watching everything unfold.

'I'm used to living in London and while I am on loan at Zenit my family has stayed in London, because my children go to school there and everybody feels comfortable there.'

[Seth Rollins]

Hmmmmmmmmm.

[kerser]

Its nice that he wants to come back, but he isnt good enough

[Tom]

Should get a chance, IMO. Given me some memories over the years.

[MF Cunt]

f*ck him

Wanted him NOW while where low on numbers

As if you wouldn't want Arshavin coming off the bench, rather than Chamack and Park, which is what happened against Ac Milan

[TF S4DK]

But Milan is the only game we've missed him in.

That said I really really can't understand the decision to loan him out if he's coming back. From time his family have stayed here, he'll definitely be returning for one more season.

[Mame Biram Diouf]

Regular run in the team, maybe get some fire in his player, get him 6 months playing back in the hole, then he will be playing in Euro 2012 yeah? then pre-season, so by the start of next season he SHOULD hit the ground running

Maybe thats what Wenger is thinking

Him back along with Jack and Diaby = 3 new signings

What about Denilson too?

[TF S4DK]

Fuck Denilson.

[MF Cunt]

Deni made like 9 appearances for San Paulo

Scored zero goals

and I think at one point he played at cb

Don't think him or Vela wanna kick ball in England

[Seth Rollins]

Fuck Denilson.

For the record, anyone who says this gets an automatic POS from me. I don't care if we're not talking about football. I don't care if you've insulted my mother, I don't care if you've exposed my girlfriend in the whatever room. I still have his shirt from when we beat Chelsea 2-1 @ The Bridge and RVP bagged 2. I feel to burn it...

Arsenal have given the Russian permission to hold talks with the Premier League's bottom club and a deal is expected to be completed in the first week of the January window.

The Gunners and Reading are negotiating the fee, which is expected to be around the £4m mark although the north Londoners could try and hold out for £5m.

Sources have told Goal.com that Arshavin has played his last game for Arsenal and the transfer should be completed early in the window.

Arsene Wenger has sanctioned the sale of the 31-year-old, who has not started a Premier League game this season and has not figured at all since the manager fielded a weakened team for the Champions League trip to Olympiakos on December 4.

Fulham and Arshavin's former club Zenit St Petersburg were also interested in signing him next month but Reading have made their move in a bid to arrest the club's freefall back into the Championship.

The deal has been sanctioned by Russian owner Anton Zingarevich, who was criticised by winger Jimmy Kebe last week for not buying enough players with Premier League experience in the summer.

Arsenal are keen to agree a straight sale rather than another loan in order to recoup some of their £15m outlay on the forward during the 2009 January window.

Although the former Russia captain spent his entire career at Zenit before joining Arsenal and returned to Saint Petersburg for a second spell on loan last season, his preference is to remain near London.

Arshavin and his family are settled in the capital and would prefer to extend their time in England rather than head permanently back to Russia.

The winger is set to link up at the Madejski Stadium with his countryman, Pavel Pogrebnyak, who was made the highest paid player in Reading's history when he joined from Fulham on a salary believed to be worth £60,000 a week.

 

Now I'm not a fan of goal.com but boy...

 

[Seydou]

It's a sad thing. Actually liked him as a player, cept he's too lazy.

As long this frees our wage, for another player.

[TF S4DK]

But we have repeated it with Lukas. I'm seeing the exact same player, lol.
