Arshavin? My Arse.

So in 24 hours (or less), we Gooners will be able to let out an elongated breath as this Andrei Arshavin ordeal comes to an end. And seriously, that's all I want at this point, for this horsepiss tedious drama to end.

Do I care whether Zenit St Petersburg takes the £15 million Arsenal's offered for this bloke? Not in the least. In fact, I'd prefer if they saved that money. I honestly don't think he's worth even HALF that amount. £15 mil for a 27 year old who's played his entire career in Russia? I think fucking not. If he was that good he'd have been at Arsenal 8 years ago. End of.

I don't think it's gonna happen. He's not gonna be transferred and I don't give a toss. I think the squad is coming together, showing a grim determination in the face of adversity as they have the last two matches... They're growing and Arsene knows, Arsene Wenger knows. That's why he spent the early part of the week bigging up 8 year old Aaron Ramsey, saying how far ahead of normal progression he is. Oh, and we'll be getting Eduardo back from that horrid leg-break as well.

So, do we really need a player who I've seen 3 times in my entire life? Of course, I'm not the one calling the shots in the boardroom. Shame, that. I'd have told the Zenit lads and Arshavin's agent to fuck right off to Spurs a month ago. Besides, do you think I really want to see THIS face in an Arsenal kit?


My short answer is- Hell fucking no.
