Would we guarantee him a place in the starting 11? I wouldn't have thought so?
Would he ask for that during negotiations? I should think so.

Is there a problem there? I would say so.

Of course we would, he'd sort out our left midfield problem, he's both footed, quick and very creative, only Lennon really can play out left but thats not he's preferred position and I'd prefer Arshavin out on the wing than Zokora, each to there own though.

Arshavin really would be a dream signing. He's supposed to be Russia's answer to Gazza (footy wise) and has looked very impressive in the limited number of clips that I have seen of him. A player of that quality to link with Modric in midfield would be just fantastic and a major coup for a non top 4 SKY club.

Arshavin would be one of the first on the teamsheet when he's on form. Thats all he could ask for really. I'd say Modric is pretty much a nailed on starter, so Arshavin would be just as much so.

Thats my favourite Youtube video of him, it's only a video but some of the goals he scores on that video are damn impressive.

Do we actually have any player in the starting 11 that poseses that quality bar Modric?

I hope we're still in for him. I think there is a danger of us being over-reliant on Modric for creativity, just like we were with Berbatov.

Just doing my round up of translations from Russian sources and found this, very interesting, and yes Pavlyuchenko did appear to do Arshavin's goal celebration on wednesday.

Pavlyuchenko waits [Arshavina] in England In the last match Roman drove in immediately two balls “to Liverpool” [by video] Dmitriy Smirnov - 14.11.2008 Attacking team Russia Roman Pavlyuchenko, who lost place in the starting composition of English “[Tottenkhema]”, obtained chance to state about his possibilities in the match of 1/8 cup finals of English leagues against “Liverpool” and he used chance completely. Trainer Harry's “[Tottenkhema]” [Rednapp] left in the reserve of clogged in three last matches of seven heads [Benta], after preferring Pavlyuchenko. Roman [otblagodaril] of trainer by the oppressed ball already on 36- y to minute. Having been successfully opened in the penal “of Liverpool”, Russian locked transfer from the flank. Initiative supported camp Bell, and to P to [reryvu] calculation became 3: 0. at the beginning of second time “crane” reduced break in the calculation - goal drove in [Plessis]. But here word again took Rom, who, after outwitting defenders, designed his first double on the British earth. Celebrating the second goal, Roman applied finger to the lips, having exactly repeated the gesture of its partner in team Russia of Andrey [Arshavin], in whom still very recently was interested “[Tottenkhem]”. By Pavlyuchenko's these seemingly it hinted to Britons, which very soon Russians in the composition “of spurs” can become two. A question about further fate Of [arshavina] must be decided already very soon. On the following week will be assembled the council session of the directors “of zenith”, the unique organ, capable of determining - to retain Andrey in the command or to let go into the European club. And if they decide to let go, then one of the basic aspirants to [Arshavina] will be exactly Pavlyuchenko's club. Although, according to the information of Spanish media outlets, serious prospects for of Andrey has the Madrid “real”, to which the football player of precisely this line of business is necessary. Roman: - One additional Russian to me is necessary in partners. I hope, [Arshavina] we will purchase soon. AP However, “real” can be supplemented by one additional descendant of the Russian Premier- leagues. The head coach of Moscow “Spartacus” Of [mikael] Of [laudrup] fell in the list of the potential teachers “royal club”. To the present trainer “of real” For [berndtu] to Schuster in no way succeeds in finding contact with its starry under wardship. Furthermore, “[galaktikos]” managed to lose in the goblet of Spain to command from the third battalion, after passing three goals in its field. [Arshavin]: - I will arrive to London, if permits leaving my native “zenith”. AP More similar than the fiasco suffered on Wednesday another grandee of world football. “Chelsea” played in its field in the goblet of English leagues a draw in the basic time with the command from the second battalion “[Bernli]”, after yielding in a series of penalty. “[Tottenkhem]” confidently brought its match before the victory, and he became Pavlyuchenko the main hero of encounter.

Found that interview with Pav's wife about the move and Arshavin joining.
