Before you all go mental: this at 5.41 on Sky
Zenit St Petersburg playmaker Andrei Arshavin appears poised to join Arsenal.

A deal looked in doubt earlier on Monday after reports suggested talks between the two clubs had broken down.

However, negotiations have since reignited and it is believed that a fee has been agreed, with Arshavin agreeing personal terms and passing a medical.

The Russia international has reportedly penned a three-and-a-half-year deal at Emirates Stadium, although the final sticking points remains over Arshavin and Zenit agreeing a final payment.

Dont want to be a smart ars-havin but i said this wasnt gonna happen 3 weeks ago it was a smokescreen and Wenger will now say "we tried but Zenith wanted too much and delayed it etc but we have a good enough squad to challenge this season"

Old news I'm afraid - the breaking news is that the deal is off

How can it be off though, if both clubs filed a fax through to the F.A, saying they had reached an agreement?

To be fair this was at the back of my mind but I hoped against hope it would be different during this window. I guess Arshavin now goes straight into Wenger's "We Almost Signed Him" XI which is looking pretty tasty to be fair;


Cech

Terry

Essien - Alonso - C.Ronaldo

Arshavin

that was just to confirm that Arsenal and Zenit have agreed a fee... which, by the sound of it, we have.

It's the deal between Zenit and Arshavin that has caused problems... and until Arshavin or Arsenal agrees to give Zenit the money they feel they're owed by their player, the deal cannot go through.

I still don't think it's off, though... anotehr twist, I reckon :wink:
