Winter Transfer Speculation and Shit.

[Dr Singh]

Arshavin was an example of Wumger mismanagement. If he was deploy behind Ade, RVP or Bendtner, he would be an instance success.

Forgive me if I come across rude Milla, but aren't you suggesting the exact same mismanagement of Reus in the other thread? They are very similar players. Both natural match winners, and incredible inside forwards or even as free roles behind the striker.

We had to use Arshavin upfront for a stretch of games and Arshavin was absolutely hopeless. An absolute world class player made to look like a chump. I agree it was mismanagement of the highest order.

Yeah, it had absolutely nothing to do with his own laziness and lack of application.

Arshavin should have been playing behind the striker, top of the triangle of the midfield trio like we're seeing with Ozil. He didn't have the legs to chase back defend and then get forward to create and score. We've seen how Cazorla is having to sit deeper on the left just so he puts in a shift, Pod really struggles on that side and we've seen how badly Jack was exposed. Arshavin was lazy but we could have made use of him.

What are the most likely rumours running around then?

Arshavin is 5ft4 midget, Reus is 5ft11. Reus is much more powerful, faster and athletic than Arshavin can be. In fact, physically Reus is much much closer to Suarez/Aguero/Pato/RVP than to Arshavin. I can see the comparison in technique but not in body and athleticism.

Hang on? Is all this Diego Costa and Reus Talk legit?

I always assume chelsea will money their way into these signings, but coming into the transfer window top of the league... and after signing Ozil, I'm not so sure...

Any wide forward/no 10 who wants to go is Chelsea is either mad or just a mercenary. Chelsea is packed with quality players in that role (it's equivalent to our CM collection at Arsenal).

But in terms of the strength of rumours... Any fire?

Its all GW talk. Realistically, they both are never going to happen in January. Seriously, why would they leave in their clubs in the middle of the CL season, when they are both more comfortably placed in CL and Athletico are actually joint top in the league as well! There is exactly a 0% chance to sign these players.. the talk and debate on here about them is absolutely pointless tbf..
The chances of signing a striker this window are also very slim. I can see Vinegar pointing to Podolski, Bendy and Walcott as top top replacements. If we do go for some players mentioned so far, it'll be someone like Michu, Pato or some unknown kid from Leyton Orient.

Arsenal Geoff says we're considering Berbatov.
