I mean if your managing Russia, playing arshavin is common sense.

Indeed.

Yet funnily enough I was actually talking about the fact Guus said he was the smartest player he's worked with...

My point still stands.

Most managers will say that kind of crap of their "current" star player in order to inspire him. And I think this is exactly the case here. Although I think Arshavin is awesome and one of the players I would want at United, (I don't want to see him playing for any of our rivals) I doubt he is the smartest player Hiddink has worked with. Considering he has worked with bergkamp, gullit, koeman, kluivert, redondo, raul, etc. and the fact that Arshavin got himself sent off in a very childish manner and missed the first 2 games... whatever u get the point. Anyways good luck with nasri I hope he turns out good, I'd rather fight the league with the gooners than the renties.

He'd be up their street. He'd dovetail quite nicely, tucked in just behind Adebayor.

Mad · 19th June 2008, 23:20

Another 'relative unknown' that Wenger will turn into a superstar; the hat fits quite nicely I must say.

He doesn't "know" like we don't "know" if you really exist but his probabilities are about right I reckon.

Yes exactly.

FlawlessThaw · 20th June 2008, 11:43

I reckon he would be a good signing for us if Ronaldo was to leave.

vanthaman · 20th June 2008, 18:24

how old is he?

francobaresi · 20th June 2008, 18:32

27 i think. looks 13 though

Vinay · 20th June 2008, 19:16

I'd personally would consider taking Arshavin to United in the event of Ronaldo leaving...

Tumbling-Dice · 21st June 2008, 17:56

I'd like to see him and Zhirkov at United if Ronnie goes.

Russia are the new Brazil.

Raven_Blade · 21st June 2008, 19:38

His age concerns me a bit but he is a very good player.

He's 27, which isn't that bad I suppose, would have been ideal if he was a year or two younger. I still say get him in and a young up and comer like Turan to replace Ronaldo.

Tumbling-Dice · 21st June 2008, 20:50

Zhirkov is 25. A bit better.

Don16 · 21st June 2008, 22:09

Might be a bit of a kneejerk, but what a fucking player, seriously. He's phenomenal.

He`s fucking better than Ronaldo on this tournament`s evidence.

Easy on...

Lot 49 · 21st June 2008, 22:16

Every time I see Arshavin play he impresses me, he's great.

Yep same, getting more and more convinced we should sign him if Ronaldo goes.

Don16 · 21st June 2008, 22:20

He was a joy to watch tonight

Mad · 21st June 2008, 22:20

El Hadji Diouf anyone?

To be honest, when i saw Diouf play in the World Cup I thought he was overrated. I got bollocked for it by my Scouse friends when he scored 2 goals on his Liverpool debut.

Raven_Blade · 21st June 2008, 22:21

Thats it. Do not let any other teams make a move for him without us seriously challenging them.

His value must have doubled - atleast!

Perfect then. If we can sell Ronaldo, we can at last address the problem we've had of finding a great player to play in the hole. Thanks Andy.

Rooney plays in the hole.

Ok. If Arshavin remains at Zenit we'll get a better view of his qualities against us.
