I still think even if he does come it will be the into March before he takes to the pitch, when did he last play a game...

Was he injured or something? All I know is that he is rested from the Russian winter break, so that would take less than a month for him to gain back his fitness.
 
He'll start with FA Cup matches and then will come to premiership. He'll need some time to adapt. Wenger had said previously that it'll take some time for him to adapt. Apparently Arshavin has even spent a fortune by giving money to Zenit to join Arsenal. Guy really looks committed...

How can it take 2-3 days to sort out - either we did it on time. Or we didn't and if we didn't was it allowed?!

How the fuck does it take 3 days to determine that?!! - It can take one fucking person 30mins max to see if it is ok!

Just makes this whole situation that much more fucking ridiculous!!

SINCE david dean left. arsenal cant string a deal properly with anyone anymore. took us ages to get nasri in for example.

arsenal need dean back. he use to sort out transfers pretty easily. you would always have teh confident that when dean was in charge, any deal where arsenal and the club agree on a fee, the transfer was all done and dusted in no time.

now it seems we have a bunch of headless chickens running the show:BOP:

I know its a big deal :)
But think about how Wenger even let Silvestre play when he obviously wasn't ready. Why not Arsha? We need his talent badly.

So any news? I can't stand the agony...
 
Update from Gunnerblog:

"Sorry folks. I unwittingly led you up the garden path. The FA have just confirmed to me that these quotes were entirely made up. So we can probably afford to calm down a bit.
The official line from the Premier League, meanwhile, is that there are still several transfers pending approval - of which Arshavin is one.
Sorry for the scare."
------

On another note two things that strike me about Arshavin (aside from his obvious footballing talent)

- his willingness to fly a private jet to England, stand around in the snow all day and take a large wage cut to ensure a move to the club suggest to me that he's genuinely committed to joining Arsenal

- Reading on the internet he seems like a quiet, likeable person, gives his all on the pitch and off it spends alot of time with his wife and two little kids - rather than getting drunk, crashing cars and other such antics that we are used to seeing from some other premier league footballers.

All in all very excited if we get him!

Just a question, how will arshavin play both CMF and DMF? Arsenal did need that, so he will play CB, CMF, DMF? F*** yeah, Go for it Arsene...

Halle-f*ckin-lujah...

He won't play against the spuds. We're still screwed this weekend.
 
Woohoo! Finally it's over, and hopefully he'll do well and prove some of his doubters wrong.

Shame he's not fit, but seriously you cant lose to Tottenham and I imagine Keane will be in the mood for proving a point to a few people.
 
At long fuckin last!

Let's think about better days then and how its gonna look with him paired with Fab, Eduardo and Rosicky :)

I could be happier, though, if we had and experienced DMF on our hands.

This Deal took along time because of Zenit and them being greedy fuckers.

Nothing to do with David Dean being at arsenal or not.
 
well Arshavin went to Dubai only to train w/ the team he wanted to be fit encase he came to Arsenal so he`s probably 50/50 to make an appearances 75th minute maybe.
 
bbc said if he finally transfers to the Arsenal he'll play/ or be ready to play with Spurs.

now we got alot of quality up front, shit in the back.
 
``````````Adebayor`````````````
Arshavin`````````````Van Persie
`````Nasri```````Fabregas
````````````DMF``````````````

Is this what you guys have in mind?
 
Its reported to be around 17M. and Arshavin is gonna get 70,000 per week. I really hope all this is worth it.

So its a transfer record aint it finally, after Wiltord and Reyes.

Even if still missing a DMF, that looks a promising attack for the nest season. IF Ade and Fab stay, and for the way that you are playing and the way Barcelona is atm, fab may go home and ade to somewhere else.
 
``````````v.Persie`````````````
Arshavin`````````````Walcott
`````Nasri```````Fabregas
``````````Denilson``````````````

So, with an injury free squad, is this the formation you have in mind ?

Also will Arshavin now take free kicks or any corners for you ?
