Oh Chris, I am looking forward to hear Lahcter’s quote, but is it concrete?
Yes mate, I managed to get hold of his contact details, he’s quite an open man – I’d like to thank him for answering the questions.
Anyway, that will be posted after the game tomorrow!
Superb! And finally: it is a positive article?
LOL.
Depends if you want Arshavin to sign or not. 😉
yeah we want arshavin to sign:) it’s a positive article ???pls tell us something don’t torture us:)

It’s positive yes.
Sorry mate, wait until tomorrow!
it will be great signing for toothless Arsenal. Hope everything will go on well.
Ok,that would do nice to hear that it’s positive news now i can wait peacefully till tomorrow.cheers
Nice 1 again Chris you an JS have the best websites and stories of any Arsenal page, i really respect wat u do keep up the good work!
Vela to come off the bench at around 65th minute! 🙂 Nice article Chris.
Crhis mate you should published the article about arsahvin yesterday,because the sun alredy published that zenit officials invated arsenal’s official next Tuesday at st.petersburg to reach agreement about the deal.If I’m not wrong you will publish the same article tomorrow about arsenal’s official going on Tuesday in Russia to make agreement.If I’m wrong than sorry.
oh dear,i can’t wait till after the game! wish this saga not gonna to be like nasri! i think i’m dead till arsha signs for us!
Chris, you’re one hell of a great commentator. Thru these days I’ve secured a personal corner @ the end of newsnow, particularly eager not to be told by anyone else when dear Arsenal finally gets Arshavin to sign. I itch for tuesday to come with the offers of expected promises. Keep the good work going nevertheless.
Chris have you heard anything about Upson returning?
we wont sign upson he is no better than what we have now.
No we dont need upson hes too injury prone and makes quite a few mistakes. Id prefer haangeland or someone like nean subotic
I guarentee we wont buy a defensive player. Not just because Wenger said we wont, but we don’t need one. Djourou, Gallas, Toure, Silvestre, Song.. We have adequate cover there already. Not to mention Senderos coming back from loan if AC don’t buy him.
Have you heard that Milan would like to bring Adebayor and Clichy if Kaka left them?
Now Joe Cole is injured. Abramobitch is gonna have to buy quickly. Hmm, makes me nervous. We need to shut up this transfer quick.
The seria A is finished imo, the prem is the place to be, if only we had a rich owner
We should finished the Arshavin-deal as soon as possible before Chelsea made their bid.
just thinking of man city or chelsea nipping in and signing him makes me angry as we have dragged our feet over this deal, as we did with flaminis contract and as we will do with theos
how lucky can villa keep getting,
shit! man u is the luckiest team in the world! another 1-0 win! i think it’s 7 or something near it,that they do this! i can’t believe this
Chelsea isn’t buying anyone in the window, stop worrying, and city are consentrated on kaka.
