Andrei Arshavin loves to talk

[Guest firetotheworks]

It's funny because he doesn't play for my team.

 

Aye, they would have been four outrageous own goals if he did.

Village Idiot, i think he is so good but lazy. He's not good enough for you, he's; good enough for us when he's trying but he doesn't. He looks exhausted after 10 minutes on the pitch and will never track back or get the ball for himself.

I think he should feel privileged to be able to play for Arsenal not be so ungrateful and outspoken in the press.

 

I would much rather play Wilshere every week next season, a player that actually wants it and has a bit of passion even if he isn't as good yet.

Or if we could get some money for him get Joe Cole on a free and get rid of Arshavin and his ridiculous wages.

 

Obviously, all this should be discounted if next season he pulls his finger out a bit and looks motivated because then he is one of the best players in the league.

Maybe you should try not to play him out of position?

That would be a start.

That's a bit of an oxymoron as no doubt Joe Cole would want ridiculous wages too. The problem is you have too many mid-fielders with similar styles.

We were in for Arshavin in the summer of 2008 but balked at Zenit's demands, was really surprised (and slightly annoyed) when I saw that Arsenal got him for a very reasonable fee in winter.

 

He's not been up to his best this season, but would be a mistake to get rid of him. His quotes to the media are either brilliant or extremely irresponsible, depending on how you look at it. I'll take brilliant because I don't support Arsenal

Surely nowhere near the £110,000 that is widely reported that Andrei is on.

And Joe Cole is on a free, saving money straight away.

Players who are out of contract and come with a reputation like Cole tend to command higher wages though. Quite simply because they haven't commanded a transfer fee so their new club can afford that extra in wages. Look at how much Campbell was on when he was at Arsenal and Pompey.

[Ketsbaia]

Apparantly he wants 120k at Chelsea but they won't go over 90k

[Gash]

Fair enough, if it's so much i wouldn't be interested. I thought that he was on about 50? and wanted to go up to 80?

I spose we'll never know accurate figures.
