Zenit Director: "We're waiting for Arsenal response"
Zenit St Petersberg director Maxim Mitrofanov revealed that talks are still progressing with Arsenal over the transfer of Russian playmaker Andrei Arshavin.
The 27-year-old is closing in on his ideal move to the Gunners after several weeks of firm interest from the north London giants. However, Zenit official Mitrofanov admitted that Arsenal are yet to ‘conclude the transfer’
Speaking to Radio Zenit, the official radio station of the Russian giants, Mitrofanov said:
“We are still waiting for an official response Arsenal.
While there is no news [at the moment], we do realise the position of Arsenal is extremely important.
Arsène Wenger said that he has different feelings about the possibility of the deal, but nevertheless, he looked forward to its conclusion.
We need to understand how Arsenal would like to conclude this transfer.”
French tactician Arsene Wenger said last night in his post-match press conference following the 1-1 draw over Everton, that the deal to bring midfielder Andrei Arshavin to the Emirates Stadium is ’90 per cent completed’.
Earlier this afternoon, Zenit head coach Dick Advocaat refused to get drawn in on the ‘Arshavin-saga’ admitting that he’s “fed up” with the longevity of the transfer.
A deal will certainly need to happen sooner rather than later. With just 4 days left until the closure of the transfer window, late signings could prove crucial to the rest of Arsenal’s season.

1st!!
DANG
we need to get this tranfer done!!!
come on !!!
It will be very interesting. According the pictures Arshavin was training with Zenit today, so the gossip about a strike via goal.com is not true – I think. But he must travel to London at this weekend to get a deal from Arsenal. I hope he will join us, but I think it won’t be tomorrow but on Monday.
What do they need a response for? Wenger said the deal was 90% done…
4th
the fee is still not agreed ….we have not improved our offer…they want 15 million straight up
Jaaack! Yes, but there is still 10%. And it will be the most difficult. The player is nowhere, the deal is nowhere but the time is running…
we not intrested in arshavin we are just making a noise that we are to try and fool the fans into thinking we are trying to sign some 1, so when we sign no 1 come tuesday, they can say ” we tried”.
I have a feeling that Arshavin and Arsenal reached an agreement former…
how recent was this interview chris?
Zenit are just toying with us… if they were serious he’d be a Gunner by now, they are rich and dont need the money, there milkin it for as much as they can…
TickTockTickTock and monday, 5pm arrives 🙁
Hey Chris, do you know when this interview was?
No, Zenit has realized that they would lose a big sum so they will sell him either for us or for else. But we could sign the papers in the last minutes and he could win some millions, just I’d prefer a deal with Arshavin.
This deal looks too complicated & miles from completion. Arshavin is still training with Zenit in Dubai (he’s in their latest training pics taken today on their official site). I don’t really know what to believe as that comment above seems to suggest Wenger is having second thoughts about the whole deal, thats if we were actually serious in the first place. I have an awful feeling that come the 2nd Feb we’ll be left disappointed again.
AW said:
“It was 90 per cent that I will be able to give you more in the next two days. Remember in this job the other 10 per cent can be more important than the other 90 because people can change their mind quickly.”
Not 90% done.
I’d prefer a disappointing the 2nd Feb and to be happy in May 😉
Gunnerkid, that interview was done today on radio zenit. It’s on their website.
I AM DYING TO SEE THIS DEAL COMPLETED IN NOT LESS THAN ONE[1] MINUTE.
gooner! Yes, it was at arsenal.com, but I think the SSN made an interview with Wenger, or I don’t know. But he will tell us his plans tomorrow. (the latest on Arshavin, the desire to get the deal done, whether he has bid for anyone else, the transfer window overall,)
Chris, don’t you know the e-mail of Mitrofanov? 😀
They said on SSN earlier that Arsenal had denied it was 90% done, instead that there was a 90% chance that there will be some news soon
no news is good news.
I said I am 90% sure I can tell you something in two days not the deal is 90% complete.
Read my website for accurate quotings.
I am also buying Titus Bramble to shore up our defences. Fran Merida will go on loan to Wigan as a thank you.
He said he might be able to give 90% more information in the next 2 days or so, not that the transfer is 90% done.
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/26612/wenger-reaction
The media distorted his words.

“We are not close to sign anyone.”
The usual and pathetic sentence after the match. After that he changed his mind. This is the 10%. 😀
this arshavin deal better hurry up!!!!
does anyone know where is gazidis..is he dealing with some other transfer……
I think we just have to face it we are not going to sign anyone fuck this shit man!!!!!!!!!
“We need to understand how Arsenal would like to conclude this transfer.”
maybe by this quote they mean that they want to do it in complete privacy, so therefore not revealing the situation of the deal?
josh i think you could be right new hope
either way we’ll no by monday i guess!
yeah hopefully we would have signed him by 5:01 on monday
This is a very unusual transfer for Arsenal but my mum works in Russia and says its just gone through!! She can’t speak Russian but she just knows, she’s got that feeling in her stomach.
im just sick of all the speculation, and jumping on the slightest hint within a quote that a deal might be done. although i fully respect arsenal private negotiations when it comes to transfers, i really wish they could fill us in! lol
I’d prefer to bring back Flamini. He is unsettled at Milan, Beckham scored his second goal yesterday, Mathieu was on the bench… he was a free agent at the end of last season. I think if we bought him 8m, Milan would accept it.
yeah i wish they could fill us in as well but if staying quiet complets the deal then so be it
We’ve one in form striker, no wonder we’re shyte and no one wants to play for us. Alonso, Inler, Ribery, Arshavin, this is what we should’ve been doin all along, we’ve got piles of dosh collecting dust, whatever man.
although flamini would be a great addition, i feel we need our spark back, we’ll get that with arshavin
Is it just me or does that mean that Zenit are just waiting for Arsenal to come out and say weve signed him rememberwe always announce signings on fridays e.g. Nasri and Ramsey and Eduardo
i thought that too, if its true great, i’ve just had enough of the guessing game
i think we will only sign arshavin…..no chance of a defensive midfielder…who wenger said was a priority
great article one of the first to have it on so good work chris
and would love to see this go through and am quite confident it will
Don’t think Eduardo was a Friday.
Why have the club no ambition?
Hi ppl heard a rumour arsenal are in for florentinas kuzmanovic or cigarini of atlanta. Apparently IVAn gazidis is in Italy
i doubt there will be any news tonight. traditionally friday has been the day for signings for arsenal… who knows
I am just hoping that wenger comes up with a suprise signing as well as arshavin dm anyone
john is it true …….
has anyone seen wengers latest interview on arsenal.com, if so what is the latest on arshavin? i really cannot see this deal happening, someone give me some hope lol
john can you give me a link for those rumours
but i think cigarini is a left sided midfielder
This is the latest Arshavin news.
what i dont understand is that if wenger DID NOT say the deal is 90% done..how come after that he is quoted as saying..but the last 10% is often the most difficult..that last nit wouldnt make sense if the 90% thing was just on giving more news in the next 2 days
wonderful point Chris, is there a video link to the interview that he gave. that will certainly give the correct picture..
does anyone know where gazidis is….
come on arshavin sign the contract and become an arsenal legend
Maybe AW was bullshitting because the deal can not be 90% done if it has not been agreed!?
Talk about twisting the truth… it’s come to the point that I don’t believe anything any more..
Remember AW actions speak louder than words!!
come on
No lol, it was on radio, it was in Russian.
Unless you can speak Russian, I doubt there will be a clearer link for you. 😛
please!!!!
Cigarini is a DM like flamini but can pass like carrick. Kuzmannovic can play across the midfield Wenger likes him. I was in Italy in venice and i heard it from a sky italia.
I just know Ivan Gazidis is in Italy and hes going to buy or loan a player but i dont quite know who. But these two names have been mentioned as well as rosina
we wont get him, wenger sed the players back from injury are like new signings, think he is tryin 2 hint that we wont get any1
Gooner Chris, give us your honest opinion now..
will Arshavin be a gooner?? what do yu think?
john….and the gazidis story is he in italy trying to get the deal done
As Much as We’d Love To see Some signing In the Areas where we need them But I do NOT think we will Be signing Anyone , I Have Lost Hope Seriously, The Board Keep saying On Backing Wenger and Stuff and Im sure Arsene wanna to Get Couple of Signing Done at Least according to what He Said earlier Befor The Transfer Window Opened, But with Arsenal These Days Action Does NOT speak Louder Than Words Sadly, Yet we are Gonna Have a Disappointing Season , at Least Last Season we Did Played Like Champions 🙁
rosina deal is off ……torino are not interested in loaning him out
It’s difficult to say.
My personal view is that Arsenal will leave it very late to sign him, but I do think we’ll have Arshavin in the squad by the time we play Spurs. 😉
even if wenger likes kuzmannovic
it doesn’t mean he wants to sign him, remember given, arteta
does anyone know that if we sign him before the deadline..we can still apply for a work permit AFTER that deadline? cause if so its more feasible that this will happen
arsenal556 agree with you but desperately need a defensive midfielder..we cannot control the game ,look ligtweight in central midfield
no you have to get a work permit first and then only he can sign
Italy is the place to go to look for a def mid, palombo maybe hes class
ron i dont think we have a problem controling pocession in midfield, its just when we are tracking back that is the problem
ohh..this seriously needs to be done tomorrow then..hope its closer than people think
Ron, that’s wrong.
From Arsenal Mania:
“He won’t need a work permit on deadline day. The paper work can be sorted after the window is closed, as long as a deal is struck before hand. If he failed to get a work permit then the deal would either be cancelled or he would be loaned out like Vela. Not that he wouldn’t get a work permit since he is an important player for his National Team and would figure as a key player for us. And obviously we wouldn’t loan him out if he didn’t get said work permit.”
we lack creativity ! we are slow and sh** in the final third ! in 4 or 5 matches now we haven’t created 6 or 7 real chances ! and some ppl here believe we need a DM more than Creative player !
thanksss for the information
good news then
No worries, mate.
Is it me or has our passing been awful and our touches. Last year we were under pressure we could hold onto the ball hleb was brilliant at that so was rosicky flamini and fabregas. Against Everton we couldnt hold onto the ball or use the ball more. We kept giving the ball away. We need a carrick type player just to hold onto the ball.
The reason why we looked exposed was our full backs keeping bombing on to the oppositions area and when song or denilson give the ball away, straight away the opposition of a head start and can go wide and whip crosses in. Thats why we need two wingers who can take people on instead of relying on passing and full backs
thanks Chris, i’m sure we’ll love it if he scores his first goal vs the spuddies 😀
arshavin trained today with zenit, which means he has not even discussed person terms with arsenal, if this deal is going to be completed we will have to agree a fee with zenit tonight or tomorrow morning, then arshavin will be should agree the contract with arshavin and his agent by tomorrow night, then we can apply for his work permit on saturday, which gives us two days to get the work permit on sign him on monday, this is what needs to happen if we are to sign him before the window closes
we are currently not creative enough ….but once arshavin signs hopefully…..and all injured players back then we will have a lot of flair and creativity.but we do need a player who can sit ahead of the back four and protect them…which flamini did brilliantly last yr..hope wenger signs a defensive midfielder
I understand, so if he didn’t get his work permit he wouldn’t play? But if he signed him and he would get his permit a week later, could he play?
That’s interesting question, but I think it isn’t neccesary to done the Zenit-deal, we should talk to Arshavin, and if it’s okay, then should we pay the 15m for Zenit.
Gooner Chris i take it youve had no contact with his agent recently then?
ron the thing about the injured players is that they are from 6-14 weeks away from coming back, we could be way behind villa in 5 by then, which would be to late
Interesting Zenit are buying arshain replaceent bilyandenov of mosow heres a link. Maybe Arshavin is on his way.

can we apply for work permit in weekends ! i mean in saturday or sunday ! ? i don’t think we can ,
we need to act fast ! this is silly ! what the hell are we waiting for !
what kind of careless we have in the board ! just move ur A** and bid , unbelievable !
i mean do these people really care about us ” the fans ” ? i doubt it ! we are in real sh** since this window opened , its been a mess with a lot of news around ! been talking about this 4 29 days now , and all we got from our board and wenger ! i have no news
if wenger really think that we have a good squad then he is going insane ! i can’t believe that our main goal every season now is the 4th place ! we are 5 points behind villa ! and we have 3 games against the big 4 in the last 6 games !
loosing such a quality player ! and probably better than all wingers we have , is nothing less than stupidity , we need to act fast
we are n danger of loosing 40 million pounds ( if we didn’t make it to the CL next year ) , we are in danger of loosing our best player for not showing ambition ! the fans aren’t renewing their season tickets , we are in danger of loosing our dignity and pride !
and one sentence to be said for sure
( emarates stadium wasn’t build for THE UEFA CUP )
show some respect board and prove we are wrong !
Tight fuckers just get him!!!
i just had a thought, wot if everything has been agreed and the last 10% wenger is talking about is the work permit?
callum, didn’t think of that but i think the fee is still not agreed with zenit!!!!
GOONER CHRIS , what did maxim meant when he said
Arsène Wenger said that he has different feelings about the possibility of the deal, but nevertheless, he looked forward to its conclusion.
We need to understand how Arsenal would like to conclude this transfer.”
can anyone explain that please ? what does ” different feelings mean ? , and the last part !
anyone ?
Who Knows , us Not Qualifying For CL Next Season Could be a Good thing , it will Make The Board lose lots of Money then they will Realise Sometimes to generate Money You Gotta Spend well Surely Not Go Crazy but Spend in Areas where Needed!!
Different feelings because earlier in the week Wenger wasn’t very confident on the signing of Arshavin.
i reckon he was saying that we need to respect the privacy of arsenal and keep the deal private from now on.
He still wants Arshavin otherwise he would have pulled the plug ages ago.
Gooner Chris, i sent you a couple of emails the other day, have you heard anything from Dennis Lachter???
come on arsenal you should be able to pay zenit 15 mill striaght up, you where going to pay them 12 mill plus 3 mill of add ons, which is the same
gooner 111 Says:

Everythign is agreed and Zenit dont want to announce that Arshavin has been signed until they get the official presentation from Arsenal possibly tomorrow
a report on life ru suggests that zenith are trying to sign Diniyara Bilyaletdinova and have agreed terms and it is also claimed that they are going to spend a large portion of the proceeds from the sale of «Arsenal» Andrew Arshavina.so hopefully the deal will go trough and we will sign arshavin
it would be too late ! we lose much more by then !
players like sesc and persie won’t play in the CL ,
we wont be attracting best players !
lose money and lost pride and dignity !
it would be to late !
u know , we should not attend arsenal games ! the board doesn’t give a sh** about us , y would we ! we pay thousands of money every year not to c sh**
The work permit isn’t 10%. That would be a formality for Arshavin given his place in the Russian side.
Also we can’t talk to him until fee has been agreed with Zenit
no body answered me yet ? can we apply for work permit at the weekends ? saturday or sunday ?
ron this could mean that a fee with arsenal has been agreed with zenit for arshavin
this is an old pic!!
hopefully sooooooo …..maybe we are in for a suprise tommorrow
what is an old pic?
thinking about it..this could just be because people are getting bored about writing articles about arshavin..but there definately has been less news recently than before, and their director did say something about respecting arsenal so we migth have said stop spouting off shit all the time
Yes, we can talk to him, once the parent club give permission for a player to speak to a club then it’s fine.
As for the Work Permit thing, I don’t think it matters what day of the week it is?!
Does anyone think now that Bolton are selling Kevin Nolan that they are really serious about getting Veloso. I’ll be seriously surprised if he goes there! Surely he’s exactly the kind of player we should be in for, a great technical DM.
yeah lets all hope tomorrow we recieve some very good news, after all wenger did say doday that he is hoping for some news in the next 24 hours
We don’t need any striker. I hope we don’t sign him. We don’t have [roblem with any striker we need some defensive midfield cover. We need a defensive midfieler and a center back. and rosicky back.
yeah lets all hope tomorrow we recieve some very good news, after all wenger did say today that he is hoping for some news in the next 24 hours
i have my money on winning the fa cup and champions league..which is the only way we can expect to be in CL next season
Gooner112…agree with you ..perfect player for us and available for 12m …but will not be available for champions league
i feel with lack of top players in the squad i think arsenal should pay and make sure get this player if they fail get thi splayer it will demonstrate arsenals lack of ambitition and care more balancing the books than winning titles
Gooner Chris why you never answer me i aint spurs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ron….yea its a shame about Veloso not being available for the Champs league..but i think its not this years champs league we need to be worried about, its getting in there next year! Thats why i think we need to speculate to accumalate right now. If we make it in there next year, then we would of paid for Arshavin and Veloso right there. I know buying them wouldn’t guarantee it, but it would sure as hell help i think.

Talks between the “Zenith” and “Arsenal” about a possible move to London club 28-year-old Team Russia forward Andrei Arshavin continued deep into the night from Thursday to Friday.A final decision has not yet been taken, but it can be followed today, said the correspondent “SE” Vyacheslav Korotkin.
Here are some good transfer targets we need: N zogbia, pienaar, milos krasic, arshavin, adam johnson, markel suaseta
why do not we sign appiah till the season ends…look where we are and then sign someone very good
arshavin is just the player we need ive watched him many times on you tube and he is such a world class player,
he can score goals, he has very goob ball control, he has a good first touch, he is very quick, he can create goals for his team mates and he his very good at passing with good vision and awareness of where the players are around him,
sounds good to me!!!!!
N’Zogbia…he is shite, cant pass and cant cross for shit..i honestly dont think we would add anything to us
stop talking about that twat veloso..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! have any of ye seen him play…..? a couple of free-kicks…? he cant get a game for portugal..doesnt always start for lisbon..! get over him…just because he has a flashy haircut…!
Agree Gooner112 Veloso is the type of DM we need… like most frustrated fans.. the potential AA signing has been the only obvious transfer rumour circulated throughout the window to date and so far Bolton & Man City have shown an interest in this player who Sporting Lisbon are willing to let go off for a mere 12 million which could be a steal for a player of that much quality! It would not surprise me if Arsenal were silently interested in him… And like Gooner Chris says if Zenit allow AA to speak to us then it could be a formality but AW suggests that they need to keep to their word before the green light can be given.. But obviously time is running out fast!!
e fate of Arshavina may decide today
Negotiations between the “Zenith” and “Arsenal” about a possible move to the London club 28-year-old attacking team Russia Andrei Arshavina lasted deep into the night from Thursday to Friday. A final decision has not yet been taken, but it could be followed today, said the correspondent “SE” Vyacheslav Korotki

gazidis is not involved in arshavin deal so maybe he is elsewhere trying to get a deal done…..
Pete, yea i have seen him play, quite a bit actually. Fair enough he’s having an average year for his standards. But thats why we have a chance of getting him, thats why the Likes of Bolton are interested and not Man U or Barca! He’s a very good player with great technical abilities and by the sounds of it a very reasonable price, whats not to like?? But the main thing is that he is alot better than what we have in CM now!
True… players form quickly goes out of the window when they wanna move on and play somewhere else! AA hasn’t lifted his game since last summer because he wants to play at a higher level… a double whammy signing could be on the cards.. then again AW’s purse strings are often tightened so we may be kept guessing for a while longer yet but it makes sense for him not to let a bargain go begging!
im jsut a bit worried now that we might have thrown all of our eggs into one basket!..if this collapses we might get noone else which i am truely worried about, especially if we suffer anymore injuries (nasri or RVP would be a HUGE miss)
i don’t think this deal is goin to happen,all these mess about arshavin is basically done to distract people attention from other demanded transfers.there was a huge demand to sign a central midfielder and a center at arsenal but linking themself with big name like arshavin wenger and arsenal board has distracted fans attention from there.
i think we need to sell our club to a foreign owner there is too much corruption in our board.where the hell is money going,avg salary of our players are so weak compare to others,we have spend nothing is last 6-7 years, are u even worst than newcastle who have been spending huge in last 10 years, debt for stadium is just a excuse to hide there corruption.players like vieira,henry,flamini,hleb all left us simply because they know about our corrupt board.
chris agree with you…..but got a sneaky feeling that apart from arshavin we will sign another player ….hope he is a defensive midfielder …and think gazidis is dealing with that
same shit different day isnt it.
it really is becoming apparent that this deal isn’t going to happen.
the last two days have been quiet and it appears that we may have baulked at arshavins demands/the extra 3 mill up front zenit demand.
yeh i can see what you mean..but if we are gonna spend something like 12-15 million on arshavin, i cant see us then spending even 5 million on another player..but then again wenger could have another cheapo up his sleeve who turns out good
I feel that the closer we get to the end of the transfer window, there will be more and more news on Arshavin.
I’m expecting there to be some big news tomorrow!!
It’s all about value for money with the Arsenal board but sometimes I feel that the extra expense might be worth while on certain players who we’ve missed out on in the past… Any signing is a gamble but AA can not be the same mistake like Reyes was.. the player was found out far too quickly and was mentality weak… one thing’s for sure is that the Russian mentality is not weak and Arshavin could be our shining star of the future!
if there are no signings and we finish 5th? would any 1 like to see wenger or the board asked to leave the club??
Surely the board could pull out just 3Mill more when AA could save us from losing millions from missing out on Champions League.
Does anyone get this? Wenger says he’ll have news within 48 hours on wednesday, which means their will be news on Friday (When we’ve signed most of our players), Man if this deal had gone through this whole time I’ll personally hang myself god damn.
there will be a couple of million coming in from this cardiff replay
thats what ive been thinking…surely they can spare 3 more million! we make 3 million on every home game dont we?? jesus…
i think bolton will sign velsco …because they have agreed to sell nolan to newcastle …and he is such a important player for them..
cant believe veloso would consider moving to bolton tho, his stock must really have fallen since last summer then
that’s becuse no other club has logded a formal bid…he has a fallout with the manager…
i cant believe nolan would want to join that farcical club newcastle.
and we think things are bad…
at least we dont have joe kinnear managing us…
I’m still confident about this deal, or some deal, I think we should all wait till we see what Wenger has to say in the morning lol.
Bolton wont get him for 12m though his club have said thats not enough.
yeh bolton wont sign veloso. they said as much today because he is too expensive.
i think bolton could end up going down. they are a very average team with a below average manager.
nolan will have a medical in the morning …..he is such a important player for them…cannot believe they are selling him for 4.5 m unless they have a replacement ready
No chris. Simply his stock should never have been so high in the first place.
People who think that there will be another signing along with Arshavin are deluded. I doubt it would take 1 month to sign another player as well as Arshavin.
People also need to realise that there are hardly any decent defensive midfielders on the market right now, so it makes sense to wait until the summer to re-assess the situation.
I cant personally wait till Monday 5pm! It will end four weeks of speculation,trying to watch sky sports news first thing in the morning and after work plus news now at lunchtime at work and various points of the evening!i can relax for four months!im sure there are loads of things going on behind the scenes and arsenal can afford 3 millon. didnt they get money for diarra and bentley recently??
maybe you are right ….to wait till summer but need someone to do the dirty work in front of the back four .why not sign appiah on short term deal…inler is available in the summer
angelos, i never said i rated him.. ive barely seen him play, its just everyone keeps talking about him like hes some god..
dont think we will sign arshavin, wenger said the players back from injury are like new signings think he is trying to hint at something?
Maybe the deal has been done for weeks, they’ve just been making excuse’s to keep it out of public, you never know with Arsenal we seem to do all our deals on a Friday towards the end of a transfer window, I’m confident we’ll get a signing.
one thing we know about arsene is that he only signs his top targets.
he wont make a signing for the sake of it.
arshavin is definitely the only player we are after because he is a ‘special talent’.
there arent many special talents available in the positions we need in january.
he will take the gamble and wait until the summer.
hope it comes off and we finish 4th.
i hope we sort everything very fast
true, i think this has gone on too long for us not to get him over something like 3 million..would be stupid not to ‘dig deep’ (for the arsenal board) for that extra 3 million
DANG!!
we still aint signed this russian mofo yet!! this is whack !!!
the clock of ticking!!!
come on !!!

see this report boys
gonna sleep hope to hear good news moro
Yeah chris. I was definitely not directing it at you.
It just annoys me when people see snipets and hear whispers about some up and coming player and act as if they know some shit. Worst is when they claim Wenger should sign them and then call him a twat when he doesn’t. It’s all very sad and childish really.
The fact is that Wenger is trying to sign the best player who is available on the market at the moment.
The problem is Ken Friar is a wrinkly twat of epic proportions. The last two transfers he has been involved in…Nasri and Arshavin. Need I say more?
who knows whats going on! i think its a smoke screen and all agreements have been made!! everyone say a little prayer and at one pm tomorrow they will call a press conference announcing a four year deal!
afc,
that would be the bluff of all bluffs.
too much has gone on. the two teams just cant seem to agree on a fee and if they do arshavin’s demands could still be a sticking point.
its taken the two clubs a month to get to this stage. can they finish it in the next 2 so a work permit can be gained?
doubtful.
okay. I have officially had enough of this transfer now..i cant be bothered to keep following it so closely for the next few days until monday at 5 when i definately know whether it will or will not happen.
Manuel
Both clubs are sprouting out crap! first wenger says 90% complete then apparently he said something else then zenit say they havent heard back from arsenal.. i wouldnt be happy if i was arshavin as he obviously isnt wanted by the board as much as the fans want him
imagine
arshavin nasri cesc walcott
amazing
afc, yeh that looks a very good midfield but perhaps even less cover for our defence, maybe that system cud go with 1 up front and a DM behind the players u mentioned
dont worry arshavin will sign for us i just know it
Chris who do you suggest we should buy as a dm! I think adebayor should be sold off and we should put eduardo with rvp or arshavin if he came!!! alonso is a great player
veloso is a very talented player wiv incredible ability he needs to be in a team who pass the ball well he had a 5 month period last season where he fell out with the coach but he has found his top form again so ron no he didnt fall out wiv the manager that was last year how do i no this im portuguese an my portuguese team is sporting lisbon and at 12 mil arsenal shout be biting sportings had off i watched him in almost all of his match cus i follow my tuga team as much as i follow my arsenal peace guys
apparently man city want to offer £12 mil for toure!! since we bought him sooo low then i think thats great! okay we wont have much cover but we can buy two good players with that and have change for arshavin!! toure is not even in the first team anymore!
u ar right chris. we just need a ruthless DM in front of the back four. i keep sayin it we need lorik cana.
how about inler in the summer or gareth barry when villa miss out on fourth place..
toure should stay, gallas is the one we should be selling, o.k we might not get as much money for gallas, but what does gallas contribute to the team anyway
we need someone who can dominate, someone with the stature of that felaini guy at everton because he is a monster
arshavin nasri cesc walcott
Wed have to score 5 each game to win. Must have a holding mid field player.
we need a DM now not in the summer. ARSHAVIN without a DM now will be meaninless to me. i dont agree with arsenal556 dat we shold sell gallas.
I’d have Veira back in a flash
maybe blaise matuidi of st ettiene or even jeremy toulalan of lyon.
damstar,
why dont u think we should sell gallas?
kolo could only go in exchange for richards.
we cant afford to sell him without getting something back.
but i will also recommend jeremy toulalan cos of the experience he got and he is 25 and also with a great height. i think 6.2 inches or something around that
Bored stiff with the whole Arshavin saga. We should have given Zenit a take it or leave offer 2 weeks ago. Then left and looked at players for the positions that really need filling.
Bored bored bored……
If this deal dont go through after 3 weeks of ‘negotiations’ how fucking dumb is this gonna make us look!!!
arsenal 556. 1. we need the presence of an experience player in this team. we can just be buying fuckin 20yrs old player all the time. u cant compare the exp. gallas has with taht of micah richard. and also, Gallas is a special player to me in the sense that he scores vital goals especially when all our strikers go on strike in a game. he can be compared to lescott in that area. but i think lescott knows how to do that better.
only 3 days and just over 17 hours left until the transfer window closes, time is not on our side
Lucho Gonzalez is the answer to every question. He is very similar to Flamini and as we saw last year, Flamini works.
how many goals has toure, richard or even upson scored this season. i think gallas scores more than these players this season but dont compare that with what lescott has scored for everton this season. he is the master in that area and then gallas is next. i wish we can add lescott to our defense. but i dont support selling any of our players right now cos the squad is short. maybe in the summer that can happen.
Plenty of time left, the mancs only signed Berbatov with 5 mins to spare!!!
Wenger mind games are getting very silly. Why cant we ever buy a player without all the bravado. silly silly wenger.
Gallas never left chelski. Wenger has always had trouble with centre halfs.
paul, it will make us look very amateurish indeed.
wenger we sign ARSHAVIN tomorrow and he will surprise us with a DM on 4.59pm on monday. like he did with Diarra. remember
damstar,
we dont need gallas to score goals, we have our foward players to do that, gallas is in the team to defenders which he is fucking usless at doing,
but yeah it is good when you have defends you can score plenty of goals!!
Don’t mean to piss on people’s bonfire but this Arshavin deal is dead. The window shuts on Monday yet Arshavin is pictured today training with Zenit in the UAE. We have tried to sign him but failed. Both Barca and Spurs failed to sign him too. For Zenit money is no option so they can afford to be difficult. I expect the window to shut and Wenger to come out saying hoe we tried to sign him but it wasnt to be and how we still hae enough quality.
Amateurish i agree, but imagine how we look if we dont get him. FUCK!!!
gallas can go but not now… maybe in the summer but only if we can replace him with maybe lescott or hangeland or chielini or vidic.
hahhaha damstar.
did you say we could sign vidic in the summer?
i take it you are having a giraffe/bubble?
why on earth would he join us?
Why are Arsenal always prepared to infuriate the fans about transfers. We clearly need more than one player. Starting with a new keeper, almunia is not international quality. get gallas and eboue and silvestre out this summer , and bring in richards and a quality keeper.
any one of this players we do the job if Gallas should go
manuel.. u never know. maybe. lol
if we sell gallas in the summer we should replace him with mark hudson from charlton
we also need a gk. that is true. i dont know why we cant snap shay given up at the expense of man city. or maybe we can try and go for huerelio Gomes of spur. he may be go for us
If we dont get gallas out, we will loose toure, and any chance of getting his brother yaya.
arsenal556. mark hudson is a musician not a cb. i know u just joking around
Damstar
You are priceless Vidic and now Gomes – certainly a case of the good and bad.
Maybe we should get “Insomina..ahh N’sockbia ahh Charley” hahahahaha! But seriously my personal opinion is that we are doing business secretly now. Hopefully we can wake up and find out Arshavin has finally signed! Just a thought…but that’s what I’m hoping!
Gomez is a world class GK when he was with PSV. but he maybe also a world class with arsenal. u never know. despite is woefullness at spurs
every pundit claims we need a DM. whats wrong with diaby in the middle with cesc. wenger keeps playing diaby on the wing which is crazy. give diaby a run in the middle and give eboue a run in the reserves for a year. wilshire on the teamsheet before eboue, please.
damstar,
yeah i am, mark hudson is better at ping pong then football,
i think vidic would be a great signing, but what is the chance of shite man utd selling him to us, not in a million years lol
Given would be good for us but we dont bloody buy anyone!!!
dubgooner. wenger did that already several times but he keep falling. he has blew his chance. and that is why wenger said that we need a DM.
arshavin comes vela wil get loaned out or bentdner will be sold i dont think thts what i call strenghening the squad,anyone tell me if toure suffering from injuries from what im seeing his been shit on. first wenger give the armband to one of our rivals players in front of him, now soon as gallas get back from injuries he gets dropped again total bollocks .every arsenal fan must remember the times his got back and put a nice tackle in and storming runs through the midfield not that many but when he did we all wanted to see him in midfield or atleast give him a go .and vela y aint he getting on the pitch before eboe atleast he can run around players and link play and score good goals god help us lol
What do people think of the long statement on the zenit site from yesterday explaining the whole position?on the untranslated page.saying they expected it to be decided on Wednesday.
diaby is attacking, he can’t pass accurately and therefore he loses the ball a hell of a lot, i really think denilson has been getting a lot of stick, do u guys really think that flamini would be doing any better in such a depleted midfield which, lets be honest, without nasri, is a very average collection of players. i say, sign arshavin, stick him out wide and put nasri where he belongs, in the middle, then play denilson next to him, with walcott to join that midfield in a month
wenger has acknowlegde it that we do really need a DM. so let us be patient and hopeful until 5.01pm on Monday. in arsene we trust!!!!
http://www.aktuell.ru/russland/special/zenit/arschawin_will_mehr_geld_als_arsenal_london_zahlen_will_442.html JUST FOUND THIS LADS CAN SOMEONE TRANSLATE IT PLZ
🙂
gallas has always been trouble. news on sky sports about arshavin, zenit are waiting on arsenal response to there valuation of 15 million in one lump sum. arsenal offered 12 mill + 3 mill in add ons. why wenger saying 90% of the deal is done?????
LADZ LOOK :
http://www.aktuell.ru/russland/special/zenit/arschawin_will_mehr_geld_als_arsenal_london_zahlen_will_442.html
CAN SOMEONE TRANSLATE THIS PLZ
SSN are only telling us what they know. They might not know everything!!!
dubgooner, be patient. in arsene we trust. lol
question for everyone,
if we could only sign 1 player in this transfer window, who would it be between arshavin or a world class dm?
tricky!!
city are tapping up kolo in front of our eyes.why dont we offer 3 million and eboue and song for richards?
arshavin dude!!! what a player. who would the world class dm be? veloso is not. arshavin is brilliant, for 15 million he would be an amazing signing! lets hope it happens
id like to see a couple of players coming in ,but i think we havent loaned enough players out or sold any to get any new in ,it would be nice to see us strenghen the team not weaken it ,the last window when it opened i thought if we bought a couple of players in we would of been up there maybe top of the table ,but what did we get nasri i like him and his good ,but not at the exspense hoyte ,leahmen ,flamini ,hleb ,and not forgetting gilberto who we could really do with for a bit of stability
world class DM
damstar,
who would the world class dm be?
It explains on zenits website
Arshavin was a smoke screen. We’re signing Mohamed Diame! Check SSN
blaise matuidi
jamie wat do u mean by it explains on zenit website
Lads fee agreed
http://www.aktuell.ru/russland/special/zenit/arschawin_will_mehr_geld_als_arsenal_london_zahlen_will_442.html
🙂
IF we do sign Arshavin and he plays in the next game this would be the lineup I’d have with the players we have available.
Almunia
Sagna Gallas Djourou Clichy
Denilson Song
Nasri Arshavin Vela
RVP
we’re signing diame???!!!
im getting that mutha fuckers name on my shirt too!!!
we were bad last night. mancs have everton this weekend, mancs will win by two goals. we simply are not good enough all over the pitch. R.V.P is the real star of this mixed up team. greedybayor is not putting in the same workrate as last season. no plan B without cesc. IN ARSENE WE TRUST is starting to be questioned. trophies are what matter, not the age of the team.
we are not signing diame
23.56 Sky Sports News sources understand that Mohamed Diame will travel to Arsenal tomorrow to undergo a medical.
Dont be surprised if we dont sign any fucker!!!!!!!
Ive has SSN on all evening and they haven’t even mentioned us going for anyone other than AA so that is bullshit!!!!!!
the king, are you sure
Gooner Chris talked to me on MSN saying he talked to his agent.
He’ll be signed by tomorrow afternoon. He’s a DM
would alonso not be the answer to our midfield problems? why did they penny pinch the deal last year? similar story with the russian this year.
why cant we try to play djourou in front of sagna gallas toure clichy. djporou can patner cesc in that midfield. or wat do u guys think.djourou to be the DM
It’s not true. I’ve had on SSN for about a half an hour now and all they said Zenit are waiting for us to get back to them about the fee. That’s the only Arsenal news they have reported.
gooner chris,
tell us if this is true about diame
damstar, djourou is a good center half, gallas is a liability. 20 million for alonso, now that would be a transfer.
Mohamed Diame is our man!
Welcome
we then goona be like this
almunia
sagna toure gallas clichy
djourou
arshavinfabregas nasri
persie ade
merida and vela to go on loan to portsmouth.
at least djourou will still be there for the height we need.
theking is bullshitting!!!!!
it does not say anything about diame on ssn or the website
what about theo and eduardo and rosicky??? arshavin might do a berkamp role behind the two strikers.
Next year the squad will be
Alumnia
Sagna Djourou Gallas Clichy
Inler
Theo Cesc Nasri
Arshavin
RVP
Ade will be sold
DANG
theking you lying mofo!! lol
Its bullshit!!!!!!!!!
The window closes on Monday, we havent agreed a fee, havent discussed personal terms, hasnt done a medical…oh and he is still training with Zenit in the UAE. THIS DEAL IS DEAD!
arshavin is going to sign for us next monday and he will score 10 goals this season!!!!
AA will sign tomorrow. Wenger makes all his signings on Fridays. He also said there will be news in 48 hours which was on Wednesday!
Stay tuned, Friday will be an epic day!
come on arsenal just give zenit the money they want
gooner chris how confident are you arshavin will sign tomorrow?
… …..almunia…….. sagna..toure..djourou..cliche………..diaby…….cesc…………theo………………nasri………….arshavin…………………………..rvp………
I already told all of you arshavin will be signing on monday not friday
i wonder how many times the word arshavin has been mentioned in the last month lol!
Remember in arsene we trust
that mofo better sign tomorrow or else !!!!!!!!
COME ON
what is important to me now is the westham game. we av to capitalise this time. a draw will favour us at old tafford and anfield this saturday and sunday respectively. we need to win no matter what. and let us hope that villa will lose to wigan
your right damstar, but can you see man utd and villa not winning when there both playing at home?
i know but the evertonians are in top form now but at least we rescue a point from them yest. and if wigan play the way they played the second half against liverpool yesteday, in sure they will beat villa since laursen and ashley young is not playin
fee agreed for diame.
medical tomorrow.
£6m
lying mutha fucka!!!
aite get a life who’s using my name to post random useless shit of us signing diame. what a cunt
I swear down if we dont sign this russian tomorrow i will explode!!!
4 mutha fucking weeks of this shit !!!
come on wenger you old crow get this done!!!
EDIT: just said on SSN that wenger will have more news on it in 24 hrs!!!
he is coming !! woop woop
Who are these people that keep saying that Arsenal are trying to con the fans into thinking we are out in Russia as part of a propaganda scam. What planet are you on??? We are clearly trying to sign him, but it’s obviously a difficult deal, especially when we’ve got a budget to stick to. Also, those fans who keep saying we are soooooo rich. WAKE UP!! We may have one of the biggest sports revenues but it costs money to build a world class stadium and it doesn’t mean all that cash can go on the fun things in football. By the time all these other prem clubs build they’re new stadiums like they say they’re going to and realise the financial constrictions it brings, we will be in a fantastic positon with no debt. Stop Wenger bashing!! He has an economics degree. You don’t.
Nothing is conclusive right now. I don’t think Wenger will bring Arshavin this month or in the summer. Why? Because he has high hopes on Diaby & Eboue to be Arsenal’s revelation this season.
Look, if Wenger can turn a mediocre player like Flamini into a decent midfielder, then I’m sure he as no problem bringing out the “best” from those two(basically the worst players in Arsenal’s history)
Seems to me right now, Villa is the new Arsenal, mixing youth and experience – in the right way.
I’m sure Van Persie and Fabregas will leave in the summer if Wenger continues to playing mediocre players week in week out.
Sovsport are reporting today that they understand from Arshavin that he is likely to compromise with Zenit & give back 2.5 million euros.
Obviously though he’ll want that back through his contract with Arsenal, which he has no chance of getting, this deal looks no nearer completion to me.
http://209.85.175.100/translate_c?hl=zh-TW&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http://www.sovsport.ru/gazeta/article-item/319472&prev=_t&usg=ALkJrhgruUfuSbRVxCKzAI3lIpS0xp2Ktg
I’ve just watched the Arsenal tv online interview with Wenger & he claimed he said the deal was 90% not done. He also said he’s made enquiries about other players but hasn’t bid on anyone else.
Hill-Wood has reportedly said that the Arshavin offer is still in Zenit’s pending tray this morning… It’s crystal clear to me that this deal won’t be concluded by 5pm on the 2nd of feb because certain fook heads in the club continue to stick to their principles! We appear to lack the ambition / drive that we need to be a top 4 club.. something seriously needs to change here!
does anyone know what time the press conference is suppose to be today?
i have lost all hope about signing arshavin…….
wenger says that the deal is 90% not done….plus if nothing happens before the west ham game the deal is off….
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_4872826,00.html
basically just shows arsenal board have no ambition at all, we are finished im afraid
on the press ?
ron wenger said that at the interview with AOLTV ?
yaaaaaaa he also said we’d enquired about other players but no bids have been made.
how did he sound ? arshavin not coming ?
my freind watched the interview…and gave the news to me
He said he didn’t say 90% done, he said 90% not done!!!
Hasn’t made any bids for anyone else but he has made serious enquiries
If Arshavin deal is going to be done it will be done before the West Ham game or not at all… “It’s make or break time today”
But I think it’s more important to concentrate on the players we have
He also said that Diaby and Song were excellent against Everton!!!!!!!
when is the press conference suppose to be today?
he must be joking when he said about diaby and song…….the arshavin situation is embarrassing…. chase a player the whole window and then do not sign him…hill wood says he will not improve the offer…and the offer is in zenith’s pending tray…..not looking good….
Our official site make a big joke? 90% done yesterday, now 90% deal off…….WTF
we are lied to by the board and wenger, ive completely had enough of this transfer now..dont think we will get anyone
The worrying thing is that Zenit are saying they are awaiting our response and Hill-Wood says we wont ring them as they know our offer.
If either party arent willing at this stage to ring each other but are expecting the other to ring what hope is there?!
We supposedly chase a player for the whole window, make no other bids for other players and wont pay the extra £3M to conclude the deal – it feels as if we have been strung along again.
The Directors wont be smiling when they see the lack of take up of the Corporate and Club level seats when the CL place isnt in anyway guaranteed (I was told the renewals have to be confirmed before this season ends?).
Arshavin wont guarantee us the 4th spot but he would generate interest in getting the club level/corporate renewals.
Skybet have now got Arshavin at 1/7 to be at Arsenal by Feb 3rd for some reason.
5/1 on Zenit!
I’d advis eevryone to bet on Zenit at 5/1 as the bet of the century. Then if we don’t get him you get some money, if we do get him, you’ll be delighted to lose your money!
5/1 is ridiculous seeing as it doesn’t seem any nearer at all.
http://www.skybet.com/skybet?action=GoEvType&id=10003041
we should first change our board or their mentality…..hill wood says finacially we will be safe if we do not qualify for cl…leave finances we do not use it even if we are the 3rd richest club in the world….what about players will they stay and play uefa cup….
Arshavin ready to compromise with piterskim club – forward is likely to return 2.5 million euro prize for the signature of long-term contract, as like “Zenith”..
Wenger didnt say it was 90% NOT DONE!!! If he did then why did he say ”but the last 10% can be the most difficult”
Now Hill Wood is saying it wouldnt be a disaster if we failed to qualify for the Champions League!!! Not for you Hill Wood you could just drive round all summer in your Bentley while we look forward to uefa cup football you tight old wanker!!!
arshavin is ready to pay 2.5m signing on bonus..to zenith which they gave him…..good news but will he ask to be paid more and will arsenal agree….
Ron where did you find this out?
Hi gooners intresting we have made serious interest in other players. We will sign players we always seem to sign players on deadline day. Remeber lassana Diarra we signed him on january
my boys got a calender in his room 2006 toure i think is the only player left thats on there ,the invincibles where did it all go wrong what a great partnership flamini and cesc had could of gone a long way but wouldnt give him a payrise then let alonso out of our site because of a few lousy million ,but worse still give the gangaly thing adebayor a f*****g payrise. forever off side and now his got it, i aint seen him do anything like last year lazy shit get paid enough money stay on side for f**k sake.not all bad though when all is fit we can put a good game together sort the midfield out
it is from one the russian newspapers know as ria novosti
we have rejected a 12m bid from man city for toure….
At the end of the day Zenit want to sell the later they leave it the worse off they are as Arshavin is obviously unhappy and looks likely to buy out his contract in November if this deal don’t go through.
I hope it does to be honest it might breath confidence and determination for places in the players minds..
Also I would love to know who these other players that he enquired abut are.
why is everything always another 24 hrs with this club. been 24hrs for 2 weeks now.
”Manchester City will make one last bid for Arsenal defender Kolo Toure and may offer Micah Richards as part of the deal.” (Daily Mirror)
could obviously be fabricated bullsh*t, and i like kolo alot more than gallas….but would you?
Thanx Ron, I hope that the article you read is accurate. But either way I am disappointed at you clubs in-ability of getting a deal done. I am an Accountant and understand about the prudence concept but Arsenal take it to another level.
Striker “Zenit Andrei Arshavin to move to the English Arsenal willing to pay 2.5 million euros” Zenit “for early termination of its multi-year contract with the club from St. Petersburg, the” Soviet sport “.
According to the publication, from the environment footballer, “Arshavin ready to compromise with piterskim Club – forward is likely to return 2.5 million euro prize for the signature of long-term contract, as would” Zenith. ”
Earlier, Arsenal offered “Zenith” for forward 12 million euros and peterburzhskogo Book Club was ready to release a player for 15 million euros. However, the “Zenith” was ready to compromise if Arshavin will return the club 2.5 million euros – half of the bonus amounts previously received player of the conclusion of a long-term, four-year contract, the duration of which ends at the end of 2010.
Transfer window to Europe, during which players can make the transition from club to club, rose 2 February. In the event that Arshavin before that date will not reach a compromise solution to the “Zenith”, an attacker can go to any European club only in the summer of this year.
The problem is Jutmanc Zenit actually have loads of money and I think the way they have dealt with matters is their way of showing that they are tough to appease their fans.
Its more politics with them than money.
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/tv-online-wenger-the-pre-match-interview
what has arsene said about arshavin in his press conference? something about he wants the decision before tomorrow?
yeh he jus says he wants to make a decision b4 west hams game! wether this wil be, yes we want him or no we dont who knows!
only wenger! and his mad ways!
i have 3 Q’s plz
1- the interview with AOLTV was made yesterday right ?
2- when will be today press ?
anyone knows where i can get the interview video ?
I think we all need to prepare ourselves for disappointment. We won’t sign Arshavin, Zenit will be blamed for this by Wenger. No one else lined up. Lets hope we can stay with the top 4 while we wait 2 months for Theo, Cesc and Rosicky. Sadly i think then it will be too late.
Arsene’s quotes:
“I have made no other bids. I am appy with the current squad. The returning players will be like new signings….
There is no news on Arshavin, you will be the first to know it if it happens.”
But the one on Arsenal TV is yesterday’s interview not today’s press conference.
Arsene on Arshavin: He says it was 90% not done. Won’t have long to wait now, it’s the 29th. It’s make or break. If it can be done we want to do it as quickly as possible
Other targets: “You can never rule it out. At the moment it’s more important to focus on the players we have, because every game is like a big battle. We cannot afford to be distracted because we want to focus completely on the players we have.
Very happy with the attitude of the group so let’s do that first.”
Have you made any serious enquires for any player apart from Arshavin?
“We have, of course, made serious enquiries but at the moment not any bid.
I for one will be fuming if we dont sign arshavin… Im sure a lot of other fans will be aswell..
The negative talk vfrom Wenger suggests noone will come in and i am extremely fucked off…Cant handle all these lies anymore…
And hill wood can fuck off aswellif he tthinks its ok to finish 5th
Yeah thats fine peter we will be even more financially crippled than we are now and best player will leave… stupid c**t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what is hapening boys shit it seems we will lose on the deal
guys , when is wenger press today ???????????
does anyone know what time the press conference today is suppose to be?
can someone pls answer me and gooner 111
the press conference has ended aw said he want aa decision before west ham game
osman , that press was yesterday u idiot !
we are talking about today press ! when is it ? anyone ?
no that was an interview from yesterday osman
arsenal tv online, u can watch it there, says deals is 10% done 90% NOT DONE, wants it delt with by game 2mrw, so stay glued to your chairs today gunner fans:D, and that we have made enquiries for other players but NO bids for any 1 else.
Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Juventus are among the clubs who will make a move for Robin van Persie if Arsenal fail to cement a place in next season’s Champions League.
The Gunners are fighting to finish in the Premier League top four with Aston Villa and Everton both pressing to break into English football’s elite. Dutch star van Persie has expressed his dismay that Arsene Wenger is not strengthening a squad struck by injuries and loss of form during the current transfer window.
And if the club’s ambition is undone by a lack of investment on new faces he could spark an exodus in the summer. maybe hillwood may be happy…..because he does not care any more if we qualify or not…..
Hill Wood is a short armed deep pocket fucking prick!!!!! Greedy old bastard!
no boys that was todays press conferene go to arsenal.com its there today press
Chris or anyone else,
call denis lechter please and ask him what’s going on.
Arsène Wenger had plenty to discuss when he sat down for his exclusive pre-match interview with Arsenal TV Online at the training ground on Thursday.
it was yesterday osman !!!
thank u gooner 111
ARSHAVIN HAS JUST BEEN GRANTED A WORK PERMIT FOR MOVE TO ARSENAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AA granted work permit. breaking news SSN
FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS…THANK YOU LORD
Breaking news on Sky Sports… “Arshavin has work permit application approved ahead of move to Arsenal”
Very strange considering there’s no fee or personal terms agreed but that’s what they’re saying!
goonerdan and mac, are yu two serious about the work permit thing?
you guys not bullshitting right. sorry, i don’t know since we don’t get sky sports here in Canada
It must be happening…..SURELY!!!!
PRAISE THE LORD
tdotgooner
Its not bullshit its definately on SSN I have just checked words as per KoloLej’s post.
No bullshit, but it means little. So I guess the deal is now 12% done.
its true, bullitin at bottom of screen on skysports
goonerdan…not joking right…….if true .greatttttt
no bullshit fellas…being reported on SSN and having applied for this we must be very close on agreeing both fee and personal terms….surely a done deal now…thank god
Hopefuly we may have a couple more irons in the fire!!
Arsenal have successfully applied for a work permit for long-term transfer target Andrei Arshavin, but his proposed move from Zenit St Petersburg is still to be finalised.
its true……………………………
If he has been granted a work permit surely we must have agreed a fee.
maybe this is what wenger meant when he said i wanted it sorted out before the west ham game, so that Arshavin can play some sort of part in the game tomm..
How would Sky know if a work permit was issued without a press release from Arsenal?
so does that mean arshavin is in russia and will be flying to london to get the deal done……
Arshavin could be on his way to London!!!
http://www.skysports.com/football/transfer_clockwatch/0,23710,14896,00.html?reloaded
its fu**ing true !!!!
A word of caution: Spurs also successfully obtained a work permit for Arshavin in the summer but subsequently failed to agree a fee, so, whilst this is promising, it is by no means definitive proof that the transfer will conclude successfully!!
Doesnt mean much. The offices where you apply only are open during the week and not weekends so Arsenal had to apply for one in the case they agreed a last minute fee.
The deal is still unlikely to happen. Hill-Wood is being a Stinge..
Hill-Wood isn’t the power in the board. Fitzman is.

Reports in France are that Liverpool and Arsenal are still after Sofiane Feghouli the highly rated French youngster.
Any deal though will go through in summer and now this January unless either club wants to pay three times his valuation.
At just 19 he is seen as a player with an exciting future ahead of him and a fee of €10 million is about right but to ward off suitors right now they are demanding €30 million.
This was the case last week, but by all accounts Arsenal have upped their bid to €13.5 million in the hope that his side Grenoble will see sense and cash in now.
But it is unlikely that Grenoble will accept that bid right now and discussions are still ongoing.
Any deal is not completely dead yet though and both Arsenal and Liverpool do have representatives in France according to the French press.
With 3 days to go in the transfer window this story may still have some legs.

Gunners get Arshavin permit
Odds on Wenger denying we’ve had a work permit application accepted in his press conference!?
the daily mail says that we are about to sell toure to man city for 15m and we have made a bid of 13.5m to sign Sofiane Feghouli
this looks positive but then again when it comes to this transfer who knows:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1132329/Arshavin-granted-work-permit-Arsenal-agrees-help-fund-15m-move.html
SSN reported that Andrei did not leave his hotel with the other Zenit players in Dubai and Advocaat off the cuff remark was he is not my player anymore.
They also said the deal hasnt been done!
arshavin is not with the zenit team in there hotel where there are staying he is know where to be seen,
wenger press conference on ssn in the next hour
damn wish we got SSN here
arshavin could be on his way to london as we speak
pls God
zenit have left their hotel in Dubai, but AA hasnt gone with them – he has either stayed in hotel or is on his way here
the only thing about this deal is that the fee is still not agreed, lets hope the fee is agreed today or the deal is dead
fuck!!
so press conference in the next hour you say arsenal556?
We’ll find out soon lads, lets hope hes on his way to london.
tdotgooner, yes thats what the reporters said on ssn
SSN said they would be at Arshavins hotel incase he leaves. So if he is shown leaving with his suitcases……..
Oi oi.. maybe things are finally starting to shape up! Let’s hope that there are no further grey areas… and that the clouds are being lifted to give every Arsenal fan hope for the future!
now we have been granted a work permit for arshavin, if we sign him today or tommorow morning , then can he play against west ham tommorow?
Dont lets get too carried away though eh, after all it is Arsenal we are dealing with here!!!!
with the zenit manager saying arshavin is not his player any more, this must mean that he knows arshavin is going to become an arsenal player before 5:01 on monday
A deal between the London club and Zenit St.Petersburg had stalled after personal terms with Arshavin could not be agreed. However, sources in Russia now claim the player has agreed to receiving £2.5m-per-year, as opposed to the originally requested £3.5m, freeing up Arsenal to pay Zenit £15m, a figure that should see the transfer go through before the close of the current transfer window.
Sky Sports News has reported that Arshavin has already been granted a work permit to play in England.Arsenal’s long-running pursuit of Andrie Arshavin appears to be reaching a successful conclusion after the Russian forward reduced his wage demands.
If the deal done, I guess Wenger will let him rest first and play him after practice with team.
ron,
where did you hear about this
can you give me a link
FINGERS CROSSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think he will play against cardiff in the fa cup replay…….
it is from the guardian unlimited newspaper
fingers crossed thats what lachter always says!! ha
LIFE. RU it became known that a deal between piterskim «Zenit» and London «Arsenal» Andrew Arshavina to move into the camp «kanonirov» coming to an end. 27-year-old half-Russian team has received permission to work in the UK. In blizhpyshie two days Arshavin to undergo a medical examination in England.
i believe this is what ron talking about:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/jan/30/andrei-arshavin-arsenal
someone ring dennis lachter and find out whats the latest on arshavin
rumors coming that gazidis is in italy trying to get a deal done there…….looks a good day
I rang the mobile number i have for Lachter last night and it just went to voicemail. Either he is ignoring everyone or hopefully sorting out the deal!!!
Italy??? Wonder who? Flamini?
Where did you hear that Ron?
Paul
I think he is ignoring people as he also hasnt returned texts from me yesterday whereas before he was quite quick to respond.
Alternatively perhaps he was flying on his way to London to agree terms!
ron,
where did you hear about this about gazidis is in italy now
today could be the day we sign arshavin and a dm
thx ron plz give me Gazidis in italy rumour link thx.
either he is in italy or france because we have made a bid of 13.5m for Sofiane Feghouli….there were rumours in sky italia about it
guys wenger press conference on ssn after the break
Orpington Gooner, it does say on fifa.com that he has a couple of mobile numbers. The one i’ve been calling is the israel one, but maybe just maybe he’s not in israel now!!!
Congrats
I can confirm to you that I am 99.9% sure he is about to join Arsenal F.C, we are just waiting for him to put pen to paper
Dennis
Arsene confident of Arshavin!!!
Ha ha no work permit applied for!!!!!
this is so fucking confusing!!!!
As Wenger has denied that we have applied for a work permit for Arshavin does it mean some other team has?!
what did wenger say…….
Sky sources still say we have applied for work permit!!!!
this is fucking bullshit!!
sky sources dont allways tell the truth
Off from football365.com following Arsenes press conference (although they have got the deadline timing wrong as its 5pm and not midnight!):-
Asked if Arsenal had agreed a fee with Zenit, Wenger declared: “No, and we have not applied for a work permit yet for Arshavin or anybody else.
“Whether we are close or not has little meaning – it does not matter how close you are, what is important is that you agree. At the moment, we have no agreement with anybody for any transfer.
“We are always confident, we try our best and respect our budget. “If we can find an agreement, we will do it, if we cannot we will not overspend what we have planned to do.”
Wenger, though, indicated there could yet be movement ahead of the midnight deadline on Monday.
The Arsenal manager added: “These kind of stories sometimes develop in the last minute on the final day of the transfer window. It is very difficult to predict.
“I can only give you the way we think on our side. I cannot give you what other people think.”
We probably have applied but Wenger obviously didn’t want it getting out before a deal was struck with Zenit!
i hope he is worth the wait lol

wenger is confident but i am not
Paul
Then I have to say Wenger is a very good actor as he seemed genuine to me unless of course someone at Aresnal did apply and he didnt know, although that seems unlikely.
or maybe i am
did ssn say that they have posted reporters outside the hotel where arshavin is there……at that time we may know the truth
ron, yeah they did
Manchester City look set to succeed with the £15million capture of Arsenal defender Kolo Toure, Sportsmail understands.
City have tried to sweeten the deal by offering Richard Dunne as part of a possible player plus cash exchange but Gunners boss Arsene Wenger would prefer to look elsewhere for a centre-half.Wenger will not sanction the deal until he finds a suitable replacement for his Ivory Coast defender as he badly needs cover at the back as Mikael Silvestre is out with a thigh injury.
DANNNNNNNG
we need to get this mofo signed up man!!!
work permit is sorted though! sweeeet!!
come on wenger get this done!!!
Arshavin ‘granted work permit’ for move to Arsenal as he agrees to help fund £15m move
Andrei Arshavin is on the verge of signing for Arsenal after reportedly being granted a work permit for his transfer from Zenit St Petersburg.
The Russia star still has a number of hurdles to pass before completing the deal in time for Monday’s 5pm deadline, but talks progressed in the last 48 hours and the 27-year-old is set to fly to London to complete the move.
Talks between the two clubs continued late into last night and there was a breakthrough with Arshavin understood to have agreed to return half of a loyalty bonus to Zenit at a cost of £2.35million.
Arsenal bound: Andrei Arshavin is on the verge of signing for the Gunners
The cash relates to a 5m euros payment he accepted when signing a four-year deal in 2006. The Russian side will consider that as part of the transfer fee, with the Gunners set to pay about £15m if they can agree personal terms with the player.
Arsenal will receive about the same fee from the sale of defender Kolo Toure to Manchester City today.
toure aint going nowhere!!
sad day when a fellow black man leaves the gunners tho!!
eboue can get the fuck out tho, no one gives a shit about that mofo!
OMG Arsene Wenger has just denied everything.
No work permit, no agreement
arsenal556 is this from the mail
http://www.skysports.com/football/transfer_clockwatch/0,23710,14896,00.html?reloaded
14.09 Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has insisted no agreement has been struck with Zenit St Petersburg for Andrei Arshavin, nor have the club applied for a work permit.
if it is then …..because a similar story was posted…before wenger’s press conference….
ron yes it is
this is really starting 2 get on my nerves. just a simple yes or no will do.
does anyboyd know the truth….plsss it has gone for too long
we have agreed a fee, we have not agreed a fee
we have agreed personal terms, we have not agreed personal terms
we have been granted a work permit, we have not been granted a work permit
you just dont know who to fucking believe anymore,
although i am still very confident we can sign arshavin
they might aswell be chasing david beckham or david villa they know that this deal probably aint going to go through ,there just hoping they get him cheap then they can say how wonderfull we are in the transfer market,they had all f*****g month who gives a shit how cheap we get him,MORE WORRYING TO ME IS THAT CESC AND LIKES OF RVP AINT GOING TO STAY AFTER THE SUMMER, THE CLUBS FULL OF SHIT VIERA DIDNT WANT TO LEAVE AT THE TIME, HE WANTED THE CLUB TO SHOW HIM AMBITION WHEN NONE WAS SHOWN WE LOST A HOLE F*****G TEAM,yeah he made them what they were but with the likes of adams and seamen ray parlour martin keown not just a team of youngsters we needed to keep experience with these players and then they could of been happy to be out ther now if they aint having a good game ,there aint much better on the bench,can anyone tell me y vela aint playing or even toure
toure could be sold which is bulls**t gallas should be sold instead
a work permit has been granted just seen it on skysports news.
callum,
wenger has denied that we have been granted a work permit for arshavin
o so wenger is always telling the truth? on skysports news it wasnt a presenter it was someone else who said he has had confirmation work permit has been agreed
go on sky news now on here your see wenger defused the matter quickly he knows were going to be let down
Wenger never gives anything away. He said we are not close but that can change in an hour. The manager want Arshavin thats for sure, normally when we are linked with a good player Wenger says there is no interset. I think we are gonna have to be patient on this one. Like we haven’t already!!!!!
Yeh man they have sources who can find out this shit and i believe when they say we have been granted the permit !!!
get in there wenger!! you old crowfo!!
callum,
wenger could be lieing but why would he
im so confused!
this is absolutely nuts. and ridiculous.
i think toure should go for his own benefit before its to late i love the dude , i remember him getting back strong defending, his runs up through midfield .but shit i would have jacked it in along time ago when some french player from our rivals walks in and gets the captains arm band i wouldnt of stayed out of principle ,its all a load of bollocks
YESTERDAY IS HISTORY AND TODAY IS A FU***NG MYSTERY
This shit is giving me a headache. I go to sleep at 3am wake up at 8am just to try to find out as much as I can right then and there. We better sign him and try to do it as quickly as possible. Wenger said it could go to the last minute.
wenger is a fool either way. im sick of his antics.
Wenger: Arshavin deal could go to last minute
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/wenger-arshavin-deal-could-go-down-to-last
Fuck this shit.
We used to be Arsenal who were demoilshing teams and would sign players without us even knowing of interest.
Now all our sagas suck the life out of players and fans alike and the board must take resonsiblity.
Big game tomorrow. Those Smelly Villains from Birminghams luck will run out soon. The slagging of Eduardo’s injury last year will come back and haunt them.
Come on lets get Arshavin and concentrate on football.
NOT THE CPU screen!!!!!!!!!
the match on tuesday against cardiff is the day arshavin makes his arsenal debut,
arsenal 3-0 cardiff
arshavin, nasri and diaby to score the goals
Monday at 5:01 if he hasnt signed as disappointed as i will be i am going to have a celebration to signal the end of this shit…its just sickening and bad for me and for all of us…!
its embarassing…every other team in the prem can get a transfer done. nice tools.
im tired of watching ssn all day cant wait until this is over!!!!
this is a joke!!
newcastle agree fee with bolton for nolan last night and today he is signed!!
FUCK
why are we so mutha fucking slow!!!!!!!
we need arshavin now!!!!
15.47 Sky Sports News understands Newcastle have agreed a deal with Wigan for Ryan Taylor. It is expected the deal could be done later this evening or on Saturday.
2 players in 2 days afro man but it takes us 4 weeks to get a deal to 90%
club is a fucking joke
we should sell gallas, denilson, diaby, eboue, song, bendtner right now
bored
This has to be the worst saga in history, worse than Nasri’s.
We’re being told things, then told different from other sources -.-
fuck the sources i believe wenger
someone call lachter and get this sh** out of him !
just got home…so confused about whats gone on today, so could wenger just be smokescreening all of this or is the deal now looking less likely
Wenger denied everything on wednesday afternoon and on thursday it was 90%. He denied it friday and also denied work permit!!! but sources in russis they are almost resigned to let him go! believe me this deal is on and a lot further then we all know.. its just going to take 24 more painful hours! at least we have 72 hrs of this shit left!!! not 720 hours!
this is bullshit
we will sign him dont worry
BREAKING NEWS
the breaking news is that there is no breaking news
FUCK!
guys i can confirm that Arshavin is on a flight landing at Heathrow landing tonight
the king,
where did you hear that from
theking
no offence man but where is the link, proof or source.
stop making up shit.
mate im not lying to you
He name is on a BA flight list. Ive seen it with my own eyes
i work at the airport, i will even take a pic of my badge at work if u dont beleive me
Arshavin to be unveiled on the pitch before the West Ham game is my best guess. But probably not
the king is full of shit!!! prick!
the king,
didnt you say we are going to sign diame stop making up rubbish stories
556 someone was using my name last night, anyone can use any name, gooner talk need to fix that
the king,
i dont believe arshavin will be landing tonight
The King why dont u take a pic of the flight list???
Just wait and see mate. AA was on the list to Heathrow tonight. I know there’s been so many bullshitting stories on here over the past month, but I’m not lying here, AA was on the list. It’s up to you to believe me
theking
give us the info. about the flight so….? what time is it coming..? from what airport..?
we all know ure bullshitting
the king,
o.k. what plane is he going to be flying on then
theking. you are purely speculating the ideal situation.
ssn journalist wanted to take permission from advocat to take a photo of aa today during trianing but advocat said aa is no more a zenit player
the king is making it up.
billygallas,
you are right the king is only saying what he wants to happen not what will happen
556 are you an idiot? I said BA. You should know what BA stands for or are you some poxy yank fan?
Flight is about 7 hours, so he’ll be in around ~8pm Check the BA incoming flights online
Osman – Thank you. He said no because Arshavin is on a plane of fucking London like I said, I’m not making it up. If you go to the Zenit site, click todays pictures, where is Arshavin!??!?! no where to been seen. He’s on his to way London.
funny how theking has gone missing now….?
king, if you are a fellow gooner why would you do this?
the king,
im sure arshavin would only fly on a private plane
oh ure back…! bet u just checked the internet ureself…!
c’mon if you work in heathrow wats the flight no..? from wat airport..? what gate is he coming into..? if you work there im sure you know it..?
Boys, theking is actually right, he’s not bullshitting. If you go to the BA website and select incoming flights from Heathrow, there’s a dubai flight expected to land in Terminal 5 tonight at 8pm. Whether, AA is on the plane, is another question to be answered, but SSN did report today that Dick Advocat said AA is no longer an Zenit player.
Time will tell. He probably won’t sign till Monday, but at least we know he’s here in London tonight.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1132602/Numbers-dont-add-Arsenal-boss-Wenger-seeks-end-Arshavin-soap-opera.html?ITO=1490
where are the picutres for todays training session then? (zenit)
556 he’s in first class on the flight.
Or copy and paste the flight list on here so we can see his name. Its not that we think your lying but we’ve heard so much crap on here!
that says he will leave the dubai base either today or tomorrow
today just shows tho…noone outside the deal has any clue to when or not it will be completed..SSN are supposedly the ‘most reliable’ yet today they spouted off about a work permit when in fact there was never one..just goes to show…
paul you are 100% right
chris
as much as i agree about SSN and the work permit i wouldnt be surprised if we had only that wenger is relaxing things down before anyone gets too excited..
dont belive paul, i just checkd flight 556, its departing from rome. heres the link:
https://www.britishairways.com/travel/arrdep/public/en_gb
We won’t get him.
thanks iJemz.. like we havent heard that before
Wheres theking???
Guys its obvious that Wenger is trying to divert the attention away from the Arshavin thing so that his players can concentrate on the West Ham game… I personally believe SSN
If Arshavin is flying on a commercial flight I’m sure SSN would be getting tons of pictures from people on the airport that would recognize him. A private airplane is not that expensive to rent actually so for a high earning man on a hurry like him, that will for sure be his choice. I’m still hopeful he will sign though. It just wouldn’t make sense to see him not having moved at 5 pm this Monday. Bench against Cardiff is my guess.
Paul
If theKing is actually genuine he wont be allowed to copy the list for security reasons or risk getting sacked.
Its nice to think he is telling the truth and I will not accuse him of lying given that other people here were so disbelieving that Lachter had responded to us.
stone,
when you put it like that you know that the king is bullshitting
Funny how he has gone now though. Also SSN have got cameras outside Arshavins hotel in Dubai yet there has been no footage of him leaving!
arshavin is still in the hotal in dudai not on a plane
something pretty much HAS to happen tonight in terms on agreeing fees etc, otherwise we will be leaving it mighty close..still dont think we will end up getting him, wenger will just go on about how we tried to but ‘respected our principles’
guys he is not on a flight…for one Zenit had a game today..no training for which AA did not travel witht the team he stayed at the hotel…secondly sky sports have a reporter at the hotel relaying updates to the guy in the studio as wel as darmesh sheth talking to zenit about where we are with agreeing a fee…
if arshavin is on the plane then where is his agent
can anyone call lachter ?
I believe king. 🙁
The Mail online reports that AA will leave his hotel in Dubai tonight or tomorrow morning. Where he will go is anyones guess!!!
call lachter this is his num
00972546358646
Any new news
This shit is just annoying, I think Wenger is just keeping everything secret, we’ll soon find out, because Wenger said he wanted an answer before the west ham game tomorrow.
it looks like the deal is dead
Arsenal put in an opening bid of £12m , contrary to what Arsene Wenger would like us to believe, the Arshavin deal is considered by the Russian media as already done.
In fact his medical has been arranged to take place in London in the next few days when the player is expected to join his new team mates.
Again contrary to what Wenger would have us believe the club is getting the papers ready for a work permit application to the Home office.
This has to be done in time for Arshavin to have a chance to play as soon as possible. It cannot yet be officially lodged as the signed transfer papers have to be part of the documents to be submitted.
It is reported that Arshavin has finally accepted to return half the amount of €5m he received from Zenit as his signing on fee for extending his contract with the club in 2006 for another four years.
It was agreed then that the player will return a part of that amount in accordance with the number of years he would have served of his four year contract.
The transfer fee appears to be £15m with Arshavin putting up the other £2.5m.
jesus mutha fucking christ!!
friday evening and still the russian eludes us!!!
FUCK!
wenger get this transfer wrapped up you sly old crow!
it looks like arshavin wants to stay at zenit now,
“arsenal are taking to long with this transfer, ive had enough with waiting, i will be staying a zenit player”
FUCK!!!!
ron where did you get that from??
Why would Zenit manager come out and say Arshavin is not his player anymore?, this is far from dead.
arsenal556 where did you get that quote from Arshavin?
arsenal556, you were just saying someone else was talking shit, your talking complete bollox.
dont worry everyone im just pulling your legs
it is from the site arsenal analysis (weblog)
heres the link from what ron quoted:
http://www.arsenalanalysis.blogspot.com/
its on a blog though so its about as believable as gary glitter pleading innocent
okay, it does sound convincing to me. i think wenger is definitely smoke-screening something
Sky Sports News source understands Andrei Arshavin has left Dubai to travel on a plane to London to finally complete his move to Arsenal.
gilbert are you serious…
I’ve heard that Arshavin has paid back £2.5million from his contract that he owe’d and that taken the fee to 15Million, I’ve heard this on alot of other forums. I say we all wait and see tomorrow, who knows we could all be suprised, lol I hate this fucking saga, I’ll be happy once I see the back of this shit.
http://arsenalanalysis.blogspot.com/2009/01/arshavin-transfer-is-done-deal-medical.html
if arshavin really is as desperate as he has made out over the last month to leave then he should just accept hes going to earn less money..but playing in the PL will bring more attention and possibly advertising etc if he becomes a star
So Zenit manager says “Arshavin is not my player anymore”, Arsenal get a work permit, Wenger says “hes confident he’ll get him”, this is one big smokescreen, I’d laugh if he was introduced infront of the fans tomorrow 😛
No he isn’t, on it now and it says nothing about it.
Gilberrrrrrrrrrrt is it true
another bullshitter then..fuck off
not true
Is it true then gilbertt
Why would advacaat say Arshavin wasn’t his player anymore? I think he’s already signed for some reason,something doesn’t seem right lol.
a plane just flew over my crib and i swear i saw arshavin waving at me through da window!!!
FUCK!!
ha ha
its half 10 in dubai and the sky sports lot would have seen him leave the hotel. nothing tonight AGAIN
advacaat might have meant it in terms of ‘he doesnt want to play for me or zenit anymore..therefore hes not my player anymore’
Samir
Unless he signing for someone else and not us and all the Arsenal connections is itself a smokescreen. Would be very pissed off though if that were the case!
fuck off
Surprise guest??? Probably be Eduardo!!!!!!!!!! lol
gooner chris? confirm?
orpington gooner, they aint talkin to any other team but arsenal!!

Sorry boss.
I just got a text back from his agent saying “No.” when asked if arshavin is on a flight to london.
times running out, even though i dont believe it, i really hope arshavin is in london or on a plane to london right now
i just cant wait until 5.01 on monday, when we’ll know either way
another random comment
from a Gooner who is losing his mind and pissed off
Pissed off and for ONCE cant wait for a MONDAY.
mike,
are you sure or are you just lieing?
Ask him yourself. It could mean no i wont tell you, or no he isn’t
as reported by us earlier, all the formalities of
the transition have been accommodated at the beginning of the week, and “Zenith” will wait for Arshavin transfer them from 2.5 million euros. Only after this procedure, Arsenal may formally announce the transition player. Remember that this amount should pay Andrew for early termination of the contract with the club piterskim.
ron,
where did you hear this from
Very reliable source has just told me something interesting about the proposed deal i wont write it though just in case it isnt as reliable as i trust.
No News Is Good News
just imagine if arshavin didn’t come here ! we all are getting into a coma !
Media re-sold Arshavina in Arsenal. Clubs refute
30.01.2009 16:57
Striker “Zenit” Andrei Arshavin moved to London’s Arsenal, alleges “Chempionat.ru. Formal confirmation of this information is expected in the coming hours. There will also be informed and the conditions for transfer.
According to the portal, the deal has been concluded yet, on Tuesday, but today Arshavin received a work permit in Britain, as expected, removed the last barrier on his way to Arsenal.
However, in Zenite “about the end of negotiations” Fontanka “is not confirmed.
x x x
Later, denied this information and the press service of “Arsenal” in conversation with correspondent Sports.ru.
“The fact that Arshavin has signed a contract – it’s not true. Yes, we are interested in this player. Yes, the transaction is in the finals. We can say that it was completed by 95 percent. But more still say it is impossible”, – said representatives of the press-service kanonirov “.
In conversation with correspondent Sports.ru head of press service of “Zenit” Alexei Petrov said: “write that he has” Arsenal? “Well, you write that he did not know in America. Prior to the closure of transfer window left four of the day, and may be anything. ”

Jonathan
you might aswell because at least your not saying its 100% true.
well cousins brother in laws mate reckons hw knows someone who works on the arsenal payroll and that says all the legal info is being processed so arshavin can work in the uk i dint feel it was credible but ya never know
yes and my dogs mothers best friend said Arshavin had herpes
hopefully by monday night we will have two new players
To verify what Mike has just said re Dennis Lachter I asked the same question and he text back “No” just now.
dennis lachter may just mean no arshavin is not on a plane right now, but he will be tommorow morning
arsenal556
I hope that you are right.
i have just texted lachter , i asked him is arshavin coming to arsenal ?
he said ,, NOT YET .. !!!!!
WTF
i have a feeling its going to be a very long few days..
in arsene we trust!!! if we not gonna sign him, he would av backed out since. let us pu our faith in arsene.
gooner 111
Lets take his response in the positive Not Yet doesnt mean Not at all.
arshavin may have chossen to stay in the hotel tonight, to get some rest after a days training instead of flying to london tonight and fly to london tommorow morning
He would of been better doing a berbatov and fly out in anticipation of something happening. He wont be getting much sleep tonight.
I know from when i was away in turkey last year, and i was in hospital after a severe gastrinol bleed that spending all that time waiting for that call to say your leaving can be a nightmare.
As soon as i got the call after two weeks i packed my stuff and got the hell outta there.
I text Dennis again after he responded saying that Arshavin wasnt on a flight to London and said :
“Thanks for your reply, I guess this means he wont be playing for Arsenal?”
Which he replied as “30%-70%” which doesnt look positive I am afraid!
goonblogger thats why i said dint sound credible or did you just read only part of my posting, as billygallas said i might as well say what i know as im not claming its true, but if andrei does have herpes id rather zenit deal with that first, then hes welcome
he has told us the deal is goin to go to the last minute. so we should not expect anything spectacular is going to happen tomorrow or sunday. monday i can assured that the deal will be done. and i can assured u guyz that wenger will reveal two new player on monday. i am certain a DM is on the way. in arsene we trust.
which is in our favour the 70% or the 30%
arsenal556
He just put it “30%-70% which I take as 30% for 70% against
Not good news:
I text Dennis Lachter again and said “Only 30% for?” and he has just text me back saying “Yes and those are melting…”
i wont be surprise if wenger sign wantaway geremy from newcastle.
Orpington Gooner did you ask him why?
I text him:
“Is it Zenit dragging their heels? Wenger has a habit of of concluding deals at the last minute.”
He replied “A don’t want to spend money”
Typical Arsenal!!!
He’s just text me again and said:
“Old man Board of Directors,dont give a f… Your Chairman just said today, there is no tragedy if A will play in the Champions League..”
So basically Hill Wood has fucked this up!
Orpington Gooner i just sent you an email.
This is fucking bollox i knew trhat cunt hill wood would fuck this up…only cares about filling his own pockets…how dare he come out and say something like that today anyway…stupid prick
this isnt going to happen and i will be going fucking mad when it doesnt
Orpington Gooner, yu are full of shit, i dun believe Latcher has so much time to keep replying to all ur messages and even type such long ones..
stop bullshitting us..
He aint bullshitting because i just text Lachter and he told me only 30% chance of us signing him! Hill wood wont pay the mony the greedy old cunt!!!
guys talk about it on the new article chris has made
first of all, i dun believe any of yu guys have the correct number. it could be anyone whos replying to ur messages..
after the entire world got hold of his so called number, do yu think Latcher has the time to reply to messages of every Arsenal supporter who is texting him. it’s just some taking the mickey out of us..
and secondly even if it is Latcher, why would he disclose what really has been going on in this transfer..
i’ve read too many posts over the past week of every1 here claiming they have received messages from Latcher yet none of what that has been said in the text messages has come true..
so stop it now guys. we’ll sign him for sure. if we were not going to get him, after so much hysteria over the past few weeks and the fact that this transfer has become the biggest joke in football, Wenger would have finally said that no not happening, but still he hasnt denied it..
it’s definetly going to happen on deadline day..
and dont blame hillwood, he has got almost no power or say when it comes to transfers..
Lucky_10
I am not bullshitting.
Why would Chris from Gooner Website just email me?
I also have an email from Paul where Lachter responded to him earlier in the week-give me your email and I will forward it to you as proof.
Lachters number is on FIFa website:
http://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/federation/administration/playersagents/association=isr.html
I don’t think Lachter really knows what’s happening
Orpington gunner is spreading crap! hes taking the piss out of you” hes a football agent for a living and do you think hes gonna tell a nobody whats actually happening!!! if it is him then hes probably humouring you! its midnight in tel aviv or dubai and its probably some assistant of his! anyway if it s really him doing this you may think that hes not a good agent!!!
anyway orpington gunner you have too much time on your hands to be texting some dodgy agent!!!
afc
Believe what you will but he has also text Gooner Chris.
But I do agree with you he shouldnt be responding like he has!
I think that arshavin wil prove to be a great signing!
Christ what next!, soon we’ll be signing Campbell!
Thanks for the update : )))
Don’t worry. His family and teammates are going to rally around poor Ryan during his lengthy 3 game ban.

How will he survive having to be picked up from training by his mummy after training every day without the prospect of playing at the weekend?
A quote from his second cousin who was at his mummy’s house when the hero returned on saturday evening said “Poor ryan was devastated, his mummy thinks some warm coco and cookies should perk him right up”.
Lets hope the young boy can learn from his mistake, wether Ryan will ever be the same again is up for debate.
we’ll never get him in a million years
