Dying on its Arsh

Zenit - Shhhhh
Dick Advocaat said today that he's resigned to losing Andrei Arshavin. Zenit have declared that they are in negotiations with Arsenal over a possible transfer. By February, Arshavin won't be a Zenit player. He won't be an Arsenal player either.
Arsenal like doing deals on the quiet. It keeps them cheap and quick. The signing of Robin van Persie in 2004 was delayed from January until July because Feyenoord blabbed. Zenit have gone one better and have probably scuppered this deal completely.
What Zenit are up to is obvious. By revealing that Wenger is after Arshavin, they're trying get other clubs involved to spark a bidding war and get as much money as possible for their man. Fair enough, but don't expect Wenger to play ball. Arsenal are poor, and won't pay more than £12m for a 27-year-old.
Hopefully a club with more money than sense will cough up and put to bed one of the most tedious transfer stories of the season.
