Finally! Squillaci turned out to be such a flop!! I expected him to be good!!

I know that this has probably been discussed already, but why didn't Arsenal go after Ashley Young last summer? I know he is a big Arsenal fan. Seems like it would have been good balance with him and Theo. Just curious. As for Arshavin...I never really liked that dude anyway. What's with the shsh with the finger after he scores. I understand doing it in the direction of the oppositions fans, but he does it every time. He would probably do it if Arsenal was 3 goals up. The opposition fans wouldn't be making much noise then. Anyway, that never made sense to me. Maybe there is more to it.
