Well this is a bit of cheek from Zenit isnt it? They have moved Arsenal’s deadline to this evening. It think it just shows that they are arrogant little bastards who are playing games.
The source of this is the Sport Express; and the main Zenit official negotiating the deal (Maxim Mitrofanov) has said,
“If Arsenal do not take, and this is our proposal, Arshavin the club will not be sold. In any case it is decided until the evening Saturday, Nevertheless, Arshavin could still be in England. They are interested in a few clubs that have a formal proposal, we have not yet done, but to make it ready.”
They are putting the pressure on us to raise his fee, they are truly scummy gits and it is clear that they care about money first, and the interests of their players second.
To be honest id rather us surpass the deadline today, let Arshavin go on strike, and then come back on Febuary the 2nd with exactly the same offer and see if they take it then. Its been made pretty clear that we are the only club interested in the Russian.
Arshavin has also said yet again that he wants his club to sell him;
“I can only wait, as the situation is resolved. On the “Arsenal” offer of 12 + 3 million pounds i know and believe that under current market conditions it is more than adequate. but alas, its not me that decides.”
I feel sorry for him.
Rot in hell Zenit.
Arsenal News 24/7
i cant bliv dis. it’s like calling our bluffs! isnt there a better player? i jst wanna say f**k zenit a billion times. arsenal cld av got abt 25mil for vieira & 30mil for henry for their worth bt sold them for less how much more owlee. my take is get somebody else plssss!!!
it seems after all those news signaling to arshavin’s transfer to arsenal, it wont happen now:( it feels as if a player has left arsenal!
hope wenger moves on quickly and turns his attention to another quality attacking midfielder
Well, if he can buy out his contract this year it also shows zenit is confident another bidder will come in. I hoped we’d get news tonight perhaps it’s all over, who knows. It’s a shame if it is he’d uv been good for us. As for kompany, i believe he’s excellent, he’s just got a bit of a mess around him as they don’t look too well organised at the moment.
I feel sorry for Arshavin. He wants to come to Arsenal and he thinks the bid is more then reasonable, but greedy Zenit is stopping him coming to London.
But to be honest. I think we should use that 15million to ry and buy Arteta, as he’s a great attacking player(maybe not as good as Arshavin) with prem league experience.
Rather then letting Zenit try and force us into paying 20mill.
