I'll never forget the claims that Arshavin was certain to lead Arsenal to the league and Champions League title, he was just that good and his signing for Arsenal signalled the end of the world......let's hope some how Carzorla turns out the same *wishful thinking*

Go to hell, Guardian, you are at it also. Rubbish journalism.

Terrible article... the qoutes regarding VdV are totally disrespectful, to both players, let alone untrue.
VdV finished a fair few matches and was always very unhappy to be taken off (which was often precautionary).

To suggest that Arshavin is essentially a run around a bit with some skill but ultimately pointless and thus the right player for Spurs is a pathetic jibe and just another reason why i refuse to pay for/read a newspaper.

Oh dear...althought it propably is supposed to be just funny, it's really disrespectful and awful! With this Guardian goes straight into the same category with The Sun, Daily Mail etc., the ones I never read and never will.

On a serious note, we would never buy him now - way too lazy for an AVB system.
I was pissed off when they signed him as he'd just been amazing for Russia in a tournament and we'd been linked heavily to his signature. Man I was wrong, thank God we didn't, plus his sizeable wage is another unwanted millstone around the Arse's neck. :sneaky:

I actually think he could serve quite a good role as an option behind the striker

That's where he should be. Not that I would want him with us (mentality all wrong) but Wenger has never made the most of what he has in Arshavin. Centrally he's a different player.

Agree with all of that, including the fact that I don't really want him. Team spirit is incredibly important
