Reading's billionaire owner Anton Zingarevich wants to sign Andrey Arshavin, 31, from Arsenal in January as part of the Royals' bid to stave off relegation from the Premier League.

Good luck to Arshavin
if wenger seriously thinks this squad doesnt need strengthening then he deserves the sack on that decision alone.
How can Wenger not see the weaknesses in the squad?
An experienced quality keeper to be number 1 or at worst to challenge Ches as none of the 3, 4 if you count Martinez are good enough.
A CB as Mert and Verm are our only decent pair and Verms been off form.
A left back who doesnt get injured all the time
A DM to protect the defence which Arteta fails miserably at.
A creative midfielder to help make goals which Arteta fails miserably at
A striker as Giroud, Gervinho and Chamakh are not of sufficient quality.
We wont get all of that for sure but get some now and get the rest in the summer and the title is ours next season. However Wenger is in it for the money so it will be going in to his pockets and not the team
forget that
a new manager with half a brain and we'd probably mount a decent challenge for the title.
Lewandowski linked with a move to United. Do they really need another striker?
Also talk of Ronaldo returning in the summer because he's unhappy at Madrid.
Sure as hell wasnt us who bid £45mNapoli have turned down an offer of £45m for Uruguayan striker Edison Cavani who has been linked with Chelsea, Manchester city, Liverpool and Arsenal.

Probably bid £4.5m
Wenger
At least we didn't waste our time bidding £45 million.
Good newsBRIAN McDERMOTT has distanced Reading from reports linking them with a swoop for Andrey Arshavin.
Arshavin, 31, is out in the cold at Arsenal and would fit McDermott’s requirement of signing “players with Premier League experience”.
But the Royals boss insists the Russian is unlikely to end up playing alongside countryman Pavel Pogrebnyak at the Madejski.
McDermott said: “At this time of year you hear lots of rumours — and I have heard that one.
“But I don’t think so.”
With Reading second from bottom in the Premier League, McDermott admits the need for new recruits has never been greater.
But the Royals have no intention of breaking the bank in a bid to avoid relegation to the Championship.
McDermott added: “If we could bring in two or three players that could make a difference, it would be useful to the squad.
“We don’t generally deal in big prices. We try to get players that are available.
“I’d like to bring in two or three with a little bit of experience at the level.”

WUMger."I like Demba Ba, yes. If you ask me 'do we sign Demba Ba?' I say no."
Congratulations on signing Ba then.
And apparently Holtby will leave in the summer
