arshy, thanx for the four against liverpool, besides that you never lived up to expectations.
i really really really wanna zig a zig ah... no, i mean i really really wish this is the beginning of the reforming arsenal squad.
I remember being one of the first gooners to stick it to arshavin (even made a thread on here which was laughed out).
It gave me no pleasure, and the only reason I was able to do that was cos I was haunted by the words of two knowledgeable zenit fans who when he was destroying liverpool and blackburn planted the seed that hes a lazy, disappearing thoroughly complicated character who was certain to disappoint and had no suitable position for a top level league. it was too bold to say that at a time for it not to be true I wondered when everybody including myself thought he was warming up for a run at the PFA and maybe even ballon dor.
So the point im trying to make is you cant really blame wenger for this, he didnt overcoach him or marginalise his talents. this is arshavin.

Wenger also decided against signing Yaya Toure aswell as he thought he was 'average' in his trial hereOriginally Posted by Ach

WengerIs there any player that he hasnt missed out on?
It is not the biggest shock in the world, I think everyone saw this coming. The problem is, there was no forward planning for this move. I'm happy to see him go, but why was no one signed during the January window to accommodate this move?
His attitude stinks, his effort stinks, but we are now one man down, and for all his faults, we are one talented player down - another talented player that has not been replaced. Consequently I have mixed feelings about this.
I think another problem with Arshavin was that he made his big career move too late in the day. He spent the bulk of his career in a comfort zone at Zenit and it was always going to be tough to adapt. He was very outspoken on the cultural differences and even the tax laws here as well. It just seemed to me he lived in his own bubble and was never a team player.
He might have been a big celebrity in Russia, but here was just another player who had to earn respect and I don't think he ever quite grasped that.
