he was the best player for Russia home and away against England
He plays Attacking mid, right mid, or up front doesn't he? Shame he's not left footed. If Lennon goes he'd be a great replacement.
I would imagine the scouts who work for Sports Interactive have watched Arshavin play alot more than you. Anyway..............................
:rofl: Well, maybe so, only really watched full games of him a ten times or so, and wasn't speculating about his present position, more where he would fit in our team. And wasn't saying you were wrong either. You just wrote it in such a way that it looked a obvious take from Football Manager.
And Christ on a bicycle, you play with Arsenal ?????
I was merely pointing out that FM isn't such a bad resource for researching player. Alot of people on here like to shoot it down as soon as it comes up. Personally I feel SI go to alot of trouble to try to make their database as accurate as possible by hiring scouts all over the world to report back with accurate player reports, hense it being a management 'simulation' game. Therefore they should be given a little more credit for their efforts. Especially given that none of us on here are proffesional scouts(as far as I know), so would not necessarily know what to look for besides the obvious attributes.
Thing is Arshavin is disqualified for the first two games and Russia may not go through group stage.
He's not bad to be honest just looks a little lazy to me the couple of times I have seen him when he has needed to track back with the opposing full-back.Another Russian player who looks top notch is Diniyar Bilyaletdinov.
Anyone seen much of him?
Why is he suspended?

Much prefer Yuri Zhirkov, who is all action and will keep running the whole match with a pretty good set-piece and a sweet left foot. Though I might very well be biased, CSKA are my Russian team.
I was day-dreaming about Arshavin on the right and Diego Capel on the right yesterday. Drop someone like David Albelda into the CM mix with JJ and THudd, and I think we might just have ourselves a midfield. :drool:
