Not really what we are looking for though, he could maybe act as a replacement for Giggs in the short-term if Nani's not ready but that's about it. I assume he's having a good game?

Don16 · 18th June 2008, 21:36

Guiza. Why not.

He has, i was impressed by him the in the UEFA cup final but he's shown he is a consistently a good player. Would definitely be worth a shout.

friendlytramp · 18th June 2008, 21:45

Russian right back
Arshavin
Affelay
Jan fuckin Koller (legend)
Benzema
Fergie, sign em up...(but only if Ronaldo goes...)

He's shown consistently that he is more than good, but he operates in the same sort of areas as Tevez and Rooney when up front and in a year or so Nani will probably become better.

Skholesy · 18th June 2008, 21:55

Why do the russians have such fantastic technique? Their ball control and ball striking techniques are brilliant!

Yet they don't have any flair - just seem to have that simple excellence.

Its like 11 rooneys without the skill.

We will have to wait and see on Nani. Personally I'm not suggesting that we sign Arshavin but I'd rather get him than say Huntelaar. He's shown he is a good player and it would be foolish not to consider if he could fit into the team. Your expert opinion says there really isn't any place then fair enough. All I was saying is that he should be considered.

looks like Benzema has what it takes to play top level football,but currently seems a bit inconsistant,should become a top player,would love to see him here to develope

It might be to do with so many Brazilians in the Russian league?

Sorry for having an opinion.

What is that supposed to mean?

I saw them tonight and they impressed me again tonight. Just like they've done through out a good portion of last season. Same goes for Guiza. A mobile, two footed big man. Seems very similar to Viduka in style IMO.

Why? He isn't really a striker. But he is a natural play maker who can play wide or just behind a striker. He could infact be an excellent wide man to have.

Cold_Boy · 18th June 2008, 22:14

Ashravin was superb today.

good player.

I just used Huntelaar because I don't rate him much. But yeah Arshavin should be someone we should consider targeting if Ronaldo was to leave, get him and a young up and comer and we should hopefully be ok.

Kaiketsu_Zorro · 18th June 2008, 22:16

Zhirkov has looked superb for the Russians so far.

Is he not a bit suspect at defending?

London_Red · 18th June 2008, 22:22

I agree with all those who have said Arshavin. He looks fantastic. This isnt a knee jerk reaction just based on tonight (even though he did play well). He looks like a great talent and is 27. Not to old and is experienced in an international sense.

zing · 18th June 2008, 22:22

Anyukov
He's class

lem8sh · 18th June 2008, 22:24

Smashing little player is Arshavin,would hate to see him go to the barcodes as reported

So you watched 2 games at once then? And still managed to keeps tabs on individual players?
