The Never Ending Story of Arse Shaving
Monday, 19 January 09, 10:33 AM · Comments(2)
Apparently last week he might be coming, Arsene even hinted that we may be close (to what was never really discussed) and yet all we ever hear are the bleatings from either/both of Zenit and Arshavin's agent. Today we have had a £12M bid rejected according to certain newspaper sources. The story goes on about Zenit wanting £20M, City possibly bidding if Kaka falls through and yet more blah, blah, blah...
Well I've already decided I don't want him now as it's clear all he and his agent are after is a big money deal, whether that stems from the club or the player or both I don't care. Either you really want to be an Arsenal player or you don't and if he's spoken to Wenger (and who really knows) he must know what we are looking for. I'm sick of these so-called superstars appearing at clubs all around the planet and their clubs/agents all remarking about how they are in talks with "several" clubs etc. I'd rather finish seventh than buy players who will in 6 months time be interested in a move to a "bigger" club or whining they don't get to play every week.
What we need are signings like Van Persie (who deserves all the plaudits at the moment) and suchlike, who were pretty much rumoured literally just before we signed them. Too much rumour and distraction normally means the player is just looking for a few bucks.

I can see your point but I do think we need a player of his attacking ability in the team/squad. There aren't many footballers about with any loyalty at all. However in all this Arshavin speculation we don't seem to be anywhere near signing the defensive midfielder we desperately need.
Yes we need his ability but I can't say the same for his attitude. Add to that the fact that no one had heard of him 2 years ago, he's 28, he disappeared in games in Euro 2008 etc and £12M is too much let alone £20M. I agree totally in our need for the defensive/hard working midfielder.
