Would Arshavin be good for us

I am exicted at the idea he will set the premiership alight I'm just doubtful. He has scored 66 goals in his 263 games during his 8 year career and thats with his zenit and russia tally added together if the stats I saw where correct.

1 goal in 4 for a winger/number 10 is quiet a good ratio

i agree arshavin is better than we have got but i feel the money would be better spent on some one else

I am not expecting wenger to sign arshavin but tbh it wouldnt surprise me either. I have to say though that I am surprised at the £20m figure being quoted on here because I heard it would be nearer the £10m mark which would make more sense really cos they couldnt get any takers at £20m back in august. Can anybody tell me if he would be eligible for champs lge cos I am too lazy this evening to check whether zenit were in champs lge or uefa cup this season ? :oops:

who do we have, cesc aside, that can open up defences at will

for the most part it's sideways, backwards, sidewards, backwards

this boy can run, shoot and see a pass - an intelligent player

first noticed him against Rangers last season and every time i've seen him since he's looked on a differant level to anyone else on the pitch

top drawer imo, would love to see him at The Arsenal

So who do we play in the champions league because although the league is important, I would hope we don't give up on europe

Forget the £20m price tag that is the going rate for top class players in this day and age.Look at Modric he cost £18m and he wasnt a patch on Ashavin in the Euro"s.

You are not going to get any good players on the cheap.

I agree with augie"s earlier comment about bringing back Vieira on a 1-2 year contract

Roma :wink: :lol:

... we'd play Ade and RvP as usual, surely?

Anyway, IF we did sign Arshavin, it would be a long term signing so I don't think the fact he's cup tied would bother Wenger too much... and being cup tied would probably knock a few £million off his transfer value, too! 8)

I don't know where this £20m price tag is coming from.. lets wait and see.

£5m + an extra £3m if he makes 50 appearances... you heard it here first :wink: :lol:

He scored 10 goals last season, think 6 the season before. Thats the point Im making.
