Wenger won't panic over buys
ARSENE WENGER says it will not matter if Arsenal don't buy this month ,there you go lads ,i think you can say there will be no signings now ...
For anyone not sick of the Arshavin saga, according to the Zenit St. Petersburg site, personal terms are now the stumbling block.

Negotiations on the transfer Arshavina continuing
Negotiations between FC «Zenit» and London «Arsenal» on the transfer of Andrei Arshavina continuing. Between the clubs reached agreement in principle to move the player on terms ustraivayuschih both sides and the actual market value of a football player.
At the moment, the main obstacle in the implementation of the deal were personal requirements Andrew Arshavina. The player and his agent asked the London club paid to guide «Arsenal» not ready to pay a football player and currently «Arsenal» agrees to comply with the requirements of the player only by reducing his transfer value.
In turn, Andrei Arshavin did not intend to go to reduce the demands on the personal contract, and thus hinders the negotiation process, calling into question all the agreements reached between the clubs.
FC «Zenit» waives its willingness to sell the player, and continues to negotiate, offering another way out of this situation. One possible option for reducing the transfer price Arshavina could be paid compensation for a player rastorgnuty 4-year contract. As in 2006, when signing a contract with FC «Zenit» at the request of the player he was paid one-subscription payment for long-term rate of 5 million euros, in the early termination of the contract Andrei Arshavin can return the club half the amount (2.5 million euros) and it will be credited to the player's transfer value.
Arsenal are all BOLLOX - we are signing precisely no one and they were never really interested in Arshavin. It was just a pantomime to make it look like they were going through the motions to fool the more gullable of the fans.
according to wenger today were nowhere near signing him a deal hasnt been done i cant take it anymore im not going to mention arshavin again (until next time)
