No contest. So-Shit-Ski the worst player in the squad by a mile. He has zero pace, never scores, never assists, can't tackle, is always injured yet gets huge wages and a lovely long contract (not to mention the armband tonight) from Turnip.

Lord give me strength. :banghead:

Both are typical of AFC from board level down - comfortable. Comfortable doing just enough to get by & bring in the next paycheck.

disagree completely. rosicky had a few great games in the last 4 years and even though he is not a shadow of the player he once was, i think that he is good squad player and can bring some good passes in the final third.

i like rosicky, still a decent player and to my eyes he does seem to give a fuck, he is the happiest whenever we score.

arshavin lost his pace, and can't seem to beat defenders anymore. since that was his greatest skill before, i'd get rid of him.
Yeah I agree.

He can play well for 30 minutes and there'll be no posts on the game thread. Makes one mistake - five posts.

It borders on some form of a psychosis. :lol:

They are both too light weight and since they can no longer make up for that with their pace and quick feet they are simply not good enough for EPL, or CL, anymore.

This is a bit like asking which of your eyes you'd like poked out. There should be an option to vote for anybody but those two losers.

IMO Rosicky tries a bit harder but he has never delivered for us. I hate the fat oompah-loompah more because he offers nothing when we've not got the ball, delivers nothing going forward, never tries and doesn't seem remotely bothered.

Rosicky, the master of the hospital pass.

Every pass using instep very over hit and totally wrong weight and pace.

Has he every been good?

The start of 2007/08 season he was good in my opinion.

The pass he used to stick Santos through for his goal was pretty good.

AA23. You have to view him as a luxury player. He still has a great football brain and can pick out a killer pass. Having lost Fab and Nasri we can't let him go yet.

AA23 frustrates the living fuck out of me. He has the ability, the raw talent and vision to be a top top player, but he is so fucking lazy and half interested most of the time. :banghead:

Arshavin was never a really pacy player. His strengths were his intelligence and eye for a pass, his dribbling skills in a small area and his equally strong left and right feet. After Cesc left we should be tried playing Arshavin in the Cesc role since we are continuing to play 4-3-3.

O and to answer the question, Arshavin is marginally ahead from Rosicky in my opinion. But we could have had more from Arshavin if we played him in the right position.
