Sooooo....the transfer window has closed and the Andrei Arshavin transfer saga has ended in....
...we don't know.
In fact, trust nothing you hear until there's an official announcement.
Why? Because in the last few hours, the deal was off for certain and on for certain. Arshavin was in London. No, wait, he's in Paris....or maybe back in St. Petersburg. The sticking point was the transfer fee -- or the bonus Zenit want back or Arshavin's wage demands.
In other words, everyone is trying to figure out what's really what and between Arshavin's agent running to everyone with a microphone, Arsenal's traditionally quiet mouth and Zenit trying to avoid the stink of being labelled the next Lyon (i.e. the club that holds transfer deals out for ransom), this is all getting very confusing.
And the snowstorm that blanketed the U.K. isn't making anything easier.
So...as I said: trust nothing. Wait until an official announcement is made tomorrow morning and then we'll know whether or not Andrei Arshavin is an Arsenal player.
Fingers crossed because as we saw over the weekend, we need an infusion of creativity in a bad way.

I think that there is only a solution!
The boss of Arsenal pay 20 milions of euro to Zenit and Andrey will play in Arsenal.
It is easy :)
