doubt it sunshine as we are holding out for more, unless someone is coming the other way.
If true. Would be a great signing.
Oh.
:ilt:
That was the text i wrote back, just waiting for a reply on that one.Quote:

Nah, I'm with you mate. He slows us down too much. Been saying it for years. I don't care what the stats say. He may be the one who creates the most chances....but there's a reason for that....he's the only one we rely on.Quote:

I still want to see Arshavin in that position anyway.
You dont care if one of the best midfielders in teh world wanders out the door for far less than he is worth to a champions league rival when we have a massive gap in talent between him and the rest of our midfield and with a manager who hates spending money and probably wont buy a replacement?Quote:

We need Levy to negotiate for us!
If we sell for less than £50m then the board should be hung,
If we're not getting more than 35mil, I'll be pissed off. But I can't see we'd let him go so cheaply.Quote:

I'm not fussed if he goes....we're too slow in our current game, becuase it's all based around him. We'll never use the pace of Theo, and to a degree Arshavin etc with Fabregas in the side. We're too continental.
I'd much rather we got the ball forward quicker, rather than pussy-footing around with passing backwards and forwards to Febregas. He's a brilliant player, don't get me wrong, but he's not the answer to Arsenals problems, because a lot of them stem from his inclusion in the team.
He's not a captain, and we're better suited playing a different game in the Prem.
Also, mark my words. The geezer's hammys are fucked. He'll be dead in a few years. Seriously, I think he's burnt out like Owen was. Once you do your hamstrings, they keep going and never properly heal.
