[Kendall]

He won't.

On the same day we get Chimbonda and a washed up goalkeeper.

Brilliant. Feels like 1995 again.

 

[VegasII]

I'd agree with that.

 

[wwspur]

21.57 Zenit St Petersburg claim they have agreed a fee with Arsenal for Andrei Arshavin. However, the Russian club say the Gunners are struggling to settle personal terms with the playmaker.

 

[werty]

How much is the fee?

 

[VegasII]

They can't agree terms because he wants to play in white...Lillywhite. Arsenal have said 'we don't do that sort of thing'.

Arshavin's responded by saying 'no dice'. He's now going to buy out his Zenit contract & play for us for free until the end of the season.

We can hope.

now now gentlemen lets put this into perspective.
the ssn source is russia sport express repeating a statement sent out by zenit - if the statement was official it would most def be on their website, as yet its not.

ssn have not translated this report fairly, they say AA cant agree but the clubs have, now then the situation is zenit want 18m, arsenal will go no higher than 12m, to compensate, zenit wants arshavin to supply the extra 3m himself and lower the figure of his apparently agreed personal terms by an extra 3m - thereby costing arsenal 12m and arshavin himself 6m.

deal or no deal
HTH

 

[JamesTheYiddo]

Thanks for that robofan

 

[fazza]

Fazza youre a dirty liar. Thanks for getting my hopes up.

Go poke it dude.

 

[Blockbuster]

He might flop....it would be nice to see them buy another Reyes. god knows we have brought enough flops in our time.

Is this not almost exactly the status we had with Arshavin/Zenit in, like, late July? He was even at the Lodge then.

He won't come to us, but the only way I can see Arsenal pushing this through before deadline day (when Arshavin or Zenit might realise their bluff has been called and sell/agree in order to avoid him sitting on his arse and buying out his contract in the summer) is through a dodgy deal or two.

Bloody Russians, he should be in a Spurs shirt

agreed bill

zenit have now released a further statement claiming now that a deal has not been agreed but could be if arshavin himself pays the extra and lowers his personal terms.

deja vu indeed.


«We have already reached with the representatives of Arsenal agreement on another sum transfer. At the same time, this amount would be further increased through reduced wages player. But because the player did not go to the assignment, neither we nor the Londoners have not found a possible conclusion of a contract on the agreed price. And the decision was mutual clubs, rather than unilateral action , - Mitrofanov said in an interview with Radio «Zenit». According to the director of the St Petersburg club, national team striker Russia calls for a salary of 3.5 million pounds per year (about 70 thousand pounds a week), with the taxes already paid, to which the British are not ready.

Now jump in Arshavina «Arsenal» depends only on the most football player and his agent.

Considering what we were prepared to pay on Jones, we should have one last crack at Arshavin i think.
