Andrei Arshavin - Gone to the goons

[Rocksuperstar]

is there an e-mail address where we can send our complaints?

not one that will be taken seriously, unless you enclose a cheque

 

[hepta]

i HATE ssn. i dont want to see arshavin holding an arsenal shirt

 

[barry]

maybe im being naive but i really just dont get any spurs fan that would want ANY arsenal player to do well. Im not knocking it, I just really could not imagine any situation where i would ever come close to feeling like that. seems completely alien to me

I'm with you mate. I hope he is over-rated and the physical demands of the league are too much for him. I loved Bergkamp but I still wanted the scum to lose every game with him playing poorly.

Probably the same one fans of other teams can send their complaints about re-signing players within 12 months of selling them (I know that this rule can be ignored with special permission).

Not saying it is right what the goons have done, it's not. Just that we have bent the rules as well.

which is in the rules.

Extending the transfer deadline without a valid reason is not in the rules.

He called himself a gooner twice in that interview. I was half expecting him to apologise to Fazza during the interview.

Rule 156K, subsection 8 reads : all rules do not apply to Ar5ena1.

It's in the small print. We've suffered from it before.

Fuck em, I want them to miss the champions league and go broke then I want to see them crash and burn I hate em.

Fazza you're a disgrace, arshavin better than Messi you're having a laugh.

 

[milkman]

Arshavin is now a dirty gooner, great.

 

[hepta]

what was it...something like "i been gooner long time". ill enjoy sat when we wipe that silly smirk off his face ray:

I think it's mostly a matter of transparancy that's making me curious about it - aside from the amount of time it required after the deadline, the facts still stand that he was in the country for long enough, was passed fit in time and agreed terms in time, so what has taken 23 hours past the deadline that was enough to convince the FA & Premier League to give them that long?

It's gone from no deal at all at 5pm, as reported by AP and Reuters - here it should've stopped. If the weather was a factor, fair enough, but it wasn't so we can stop even talking about that.

I believe that the Zenit statement about it not being done was a knee-jerk reaction to the thousands of media reports that he was - they were rebutting a rumour and apparently did so with good cause.

In cases like this, the Prem League and the FA should both have the balls to apply here the same iron fist they do to all their other laws, such as not investigating incidents if an official mentions it in their game report as dealt with. There's no moving on that, despite actions like Bosingwa's that obviously deserve it.

All animals are equal.

But some are more equal than others.

I wouldn't say Fazza was a disgrace, but I can't agree with his sentiments. I hope arsebandit fucking flops heavy. I agree in regards to Messi. Streets ahead of anyone.

Grow up dude, if I can accept it then you can. Who is your favourite world player, is he a yid, how would you be feeling right about now if he walked out with an Arsenal shirt..........welcome to my world, I have to get used to it.

 

[ziggy]

You just knew that this would never have been blocked. They had all the transfer window to negotiate and he was there all day yesterday, so no weather problems, yet it goes over the 5.00pm deadline and they are allowed to still have the transfer.

The delay was probably the FA/Arse making sure they've covered themselves as has been said, in case he does a Tevez and fires the Arse into a position they wouldn't have been in and Liverpool/Chelsea or Villa complain.

Let's just hope he flops, they miss CL fottie and his transfer costs them big time.

Sound bitter ? you bet !!

Well put - have some rep.

Agree with pretty much all of this. I doubt very much anyone at the goons or the FA will explain why there was such a hold up and how it managed to get through, which will only add fuel to the argument that the top four get preferential treatment.

The FA / Premier League would not dream of doing anything that damages the brand, especially at the moment when they are trying to enter negotiations for the next TV contract. Having Arshavin plying his trade in the premier league helps two fold, as he's a quality player and he is also arguably the biggest name in Russian football.

If this was West Brom trying to sign Andrei Bollockwaxing from Outer Mongolia they'd no doubt refuse it, but in this instance not a chance.

 

[Destroyer]

Definitely something not right about this deal, seems theirs been some sort of preferential treatment ?? I'm sure Sir Alex will have some sort of dig about it later this week.

 

[Babylon22]

If Arshavin's goal/Assist sends a team down or stops Villa from getting 4th position we will hear about this again.

I had no idea the TV rights were up - that's bang on, i bet.

Does the premier league have TV interests in Russia already? If not, you can guarantee that with Arshavin here there'll be enough Russian stations bundling over each other to stuff cheques into the hands of the suits for the rights to show the games.

Would be worth millions.

Good player, could have been the darling of WHL if ZSP did'nt piss us about last summer so much. For roughly the same money as we paid for Keane (£12-15m) Arse get AA. Will Keane have as much effect on our club as AA could have done...... Only time will tell, but I very much doubt it. :-(
