Arshavin

[dww]

It's a tough one. He doesn't seem the sort who would get on well with Rafa.

[Jennings]

I like the idea of an attacking minded player like him. I will say a prayer.
...Arshavin which art in heaven...etc.

1615: Andrei Arshavin has passed his medical at Arsenal, so he is very, very close now to completing his move from Zenit. I cannot wait to see that little genius from Euro 2008 in the Premier League. (BBC)

Wonder if they remember the terrible performances he put in too.

[MrsB]

I hope he flops.

I hope he flops.

I really don't think a on - off player like Arshavin is what they need at all either. They desperately need some more strength and more consistency.

Completely agreed

They need an enforcer not another showy ponce.

[MrMichael]

Anyone else think that Arshavin would be a horrible addition to the team. Talented though he maybe there are a whole list of reasons why he is only just leaving Russia.

1721: Arsenal fans, don't look: One of our news agencies is claiming that Zenit and the Gunners have failed to reach a deal on the transfer of Andrei Arshavin. It is only one source, though, so we will try and get more on that as and when we have it. (BBC)

[Craig_H]

Zenit spokesman claims that the two clubs have failed to reach an agreement and Arshavin will not be moving to Arsenal.

[kingfunk]

Deal has not gone through! Its OFF!

[Shaggy]

Deal off!

[kingfunk]

We should try and nick him now!!

[-V-]

Haha Arsenal. They thought Zenit would finally give in to their valuation. Didn't work.

If this doesn't go through then it makes SSN a laughing stock for claiming at 5pm that the deal papers had been lodged with the premier league

[Shaggy]

I reckon SSN are a laughing stock anyway, especially that smug cunt Andy Burton.
