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...

Yep, that's right.

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.

Don't worry about money, Arsenal didn't pay, Usmanov paid. ;)

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 ?

Plus they have Adebayor, Rosicky, and Eduardo. So now I think they're just lacking a bit on the defensive end with a DMF and CB's.

What are Arshavin's strengths as a footballer?

"So if I was an Arsenal fan I wouldn’t be too concerned about the fact that Arshavin didn’t show in that game. I think I’d look at the two games before that when he was absolutely magnificent. He dominated those games from midfield in a way I haven’t seen anyone do since the days of Michel Platini. To be honest I didn’t think it was possible for someone to dominate like that so I think he really is a very special talent.

"He’s quick, he’s sharp, he reads the game very well, he is a typical Arsène Wenger player in that he seems to have a very acute understanding of where other players are on the pitch. Technically he’s very good, he is diminutive, but he is top, top class."
 
Maybe Wenger is trying to kill the DMF position and revolutionize the game one last time before he leaves. Show everybody a team that can succeed without DMF's. Nowadays teams just seem to really so much and DMF's and always come out with 2 of them.

I am not, check how many we have scored recently, not many!

We have become tighter at the back so I think with Fabregas out he could be the key. We haven't been creating many chances lately.
 
LOL @ The Lion. Abrahamovic, Pavluychenko, and Alex Arshavin. Too much to be a coincidence.

Now I'm gooner. I must be gooner.
 
it's one car crash after another...let's hope we get back on track soon.

p.s.: eboue did it again...seriously i'd play jack wilshere instead of him.
 
Eboue's a fucking idiot.

He was our best player in the first 30 minutes then bam! 2 silly cards and he's off.

I don't think he should ever play for us again, he's an embarrassment to the name of Arsenal FC.

He must be retarded - there is no other explanation for it!

He was doing so well and then does that shit. If he didn't have a shit temprement he could be a decent player - but he understands fuck all and he doesn't seem to want to learn how to behave.

I think Wenger has given him enough chances now. Hopefully Arshavin starts to play and Eboue can't get back into the team. Then we will have Walcott back aswell.

Ditto

Couldn't believe how well he was playing the first 20mins or so. I thought he'd turned over a new leaf, but then he's back to his bitching and moaning - i knew he was going to get sent off. Someone really should have stept in and pushed him away. He should hold his head in shame, as he let the club down yesterday.

Even though we fell further behind by not getting the 3 points, the 10 men did us proud, and i thought Alex Song had a fantastic game.

p.s. Did anyone else see Ade's reluctance to jump at high balls yesterday?

Yeah I noticed this. Now that he is out for a bit it might actually do us some good. On the whole he has been shite this season, his body language looks like he doesn't want to play for us despite being paid very handsomely indeed.

Eddie is back though now so hopefully he can get into the groove quickly.

Alex Song did play well, but he's gotta start doing this week in week out. His performance yesterday though did his chances of a regular place in the side for the rest of the season no harm at all.
 
Jonney - Now we can test your theory about getting a new manager.

Now that big Phil has been sacked by Chelsea - Lets see who Chelsea get in and lets see how much better they do.

No my theory has changed actualy. i now know we will finish 4th ahead of chelsea :LOL:

so we will keep wenger and hope he can build upon this next season:WORSHIP:
scolari basicly handed us a first class ticket to 4th spot
 
you're talking about chelsea like they're derby county...i don't think it'll be so easy.
ade might miss the match against AS Roma. he's not been very productive lately, but we'll have to play bendtner in his place...d'oh!!
 
haha im kidding. im sure chelsea will be in the top 4 however, if they can make the top 4, so can arsenal. aston villa needs to stop winning and start losing!!

Woah, at least Derby County managed to beat Man Utd this season, albeit the Man Utd second string. :P
 
Aboutreika18, lol. sorry, no pun intended. it was just for the sake of argument. :D
face it, AW is right the main problem is actually the attack. we can't score if our lifes depended on it.
another big problem is the total chaos in our team, caused by the lack of a leader and the numerous injuries...

p.s.: i wanted to say this for some time: A. Song is really looking as he can be a nice DMF. He's strong, he make alot of interceptions and also he tries to pass the ball to usefull positions, he just need to work harder.
the problem is that we have too many half dmf/cmf's and no good full dmf.
