Nah we dont need him at all

I don't think Arshavin is good enough.

Ok, yes it would be hard for him to get into a starting eleven, but I wouldn't say he isn't good enough. I think he'd fit nicely into any big side, providing he is played in his preferred role.

Zenit St Petersburg midfielder Andrei Arshavin has set his sights on a move to Manchester United or Chelsea after his club have agreed to let him leave.

Arshavin was expected to join Barcelona and then Tottenham following an impressive Euro 2008 helping Russia reach the semi-finals.

However, Zenit held a tight grip over the 27-year-old and priced him out of the market but they now appear to have admitted defeat in their bid to keep the playmaker.

Arshavin has welcomed the news but seems to have switched his sights from Spurs to champions Manchester United and Chelsea.

"I still have a desire to play abroad and I'd like to play either in Spain or England," he said in The Sun.

"Barcelona are my favourite team and in England there is Manchester United and Chelsea."

Zenit general manager Maxim Mitrofanov has confirmed that his side's creative spark could be on his way to Eastern Europe.

"We gave Arshavin permission to negotiate directly with other clubs," he said.

"Usually a player who has a running contract with a team isn't allowed to do it. But Zenit are prepared to consider any offers for Arshavin."

as a player he is good but personally i do not want to see him play for us i think our midfield is strong enough and i do not think he will suit our team, and i also do not think he will suit the premiere league because it might be a bit to physical for him and he will not get as much room on the ball as he would like.

Andrey Arshavin now the best Russian football player. I not so want that he played Chelsea, but it seems to me is better Malouda...

Anybody would be better than Malouda, wush he would fuck off back to France! Or go to Bayern in exchange for Ribery!!!

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Malouda to Marseille, and Ben Arfa to Chelsea would suit me

[BlueLion. 21,491]

It would seem Arse-shaving is heading his way to play for Arsehole Wenger at ArseAnal.

I'd rather see him play for my local team Edgware Town.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Meh. For me, he can be brilliant, but he just seems like another Deco to me, he blows hot and cold.

Or, maybe because of the huge competition of stars at Chelsea, he would never get any games and play absolute shit when he does get games, but he plays world class everywhere else!
