After confirmation from his agent that Arsene Wenger "likes the look of the player," it
is now official that Arsenal are in talks with Zenit St. Petersburg over the transfer of Andrei
Arshavin. A Zenit official said: We have been in discussion with Arsenal now for some time. They
are hoping that a deal will be [.
As we head closer to Arsenal's Monday deadline, there is no sign of the Russian joining
Arsenal. Znit are sticking to their guns and demanding £20m, Arsenal have offered
£12m plus £3m. We now have an impasse. The player wants to join Arsenal, Arsenal
want the player and Zenit want the transfer to go through.
Today is Arsenal's self imposed deadline for something to happen in the Andrei Arshavin transfer
deal. Follow along with me as I obsessively hit "refresh" in my Google Reader, hoping for
a nibble of fact in this deal. 6:10 am ZOMG HAVE YOU HEARD??? Charlie N'Zogbia, who has been
angling for a transfer to Arsenal [.
Manchester City to hijack Arsenal deal for Andrei Arshavin Full Article Manchester City are closing
in on Andrei Arshavin after agreeing an £18million deal with Zenit St Petersburg. The
27-year-old striker flew into London last week amid speculation he was poised to join Arsenal.
James thinks ... Now seriously, give me one valid reason which is not money why [.
El Zénit ya ha reconocido que se encuentra negociando con los gunners el traspaso de su
estrella Arshavin. El futbolista firmaría con el conjunto inglés por tres temporadas,
después de haber estado presionando al club ruso para que le traspasase. Las cifras del
traspaso pueden establecerse finalmente en 10 millones de euros, la mitad de [.
Arsenal and Zenit are now eye to eye in a game of high stakes poker. Zenit are demanding a fee
nearer to their summer valuation of Arshavin of £20m. The problem is that they did not have
any takers in the summer when the market was buoyant and now there is only one [...]
Wow... doesn't he look upset... I don't think I've ever seen a player want to leave his club so
bad. I still think the guy's not as good as he thinks but Zennit are stalling the talks and he's
getting frustrated, on a personal note I don't think its the club... I think he's just a wimp and
hates the cold.
Zenit St Petersburg playmaker Andrei Arshavin is threatening to buy out his contract at the Russian
club after weeks of uncertainty over his future. The 27-year old has been heavily linked with a
move to the Premier League in recent weeks, with Arsenal understood to be in talks with the club,
however no fee has [.
The long saga involving Arshavin, Zenit and Arsenal appears to coming to an end. Zenit posted
a notice on their own website confirming that a fee has been agreed, "Negotiations between FC
Zenit and Arsenal over the transfer of Andrei Arshavin continue. Both clubs have agreed on the
figure that reflects the real market value of [.
We commented on Defoe's move to Tottenham even before the New Year rolled around and then again
more recently this past week in 2009, so that 'breaking news,' isn't all that breaking to us. Just
wanted to let you know you can check those previous posts for our buy-Defoe fantasy analysis.

The silly season has started, and I've yet to touch on what Chelsea won't do in the window. So,
let's take a look at potential targets, potential exits and what we'll actually get this January
(absolutely nil).
Rumored Targets
Luis Fabiano
Striker, Sevilla
Price: 15-20mil
The 28-year-old Brazilian has been linked with Chelsea since August.
If this wasn't "just football", one could easily write a book or make a movie out of this
story. If hours ago, news was that Zenit and Arsenal were in talks over a possible move of Andrei
Arshavin to the Emirates, it's now back to square one after his agent, Dennis Lachter, rubbished
all the [...]
Morning all. Remember wayyy wayyy back when we were supposedly after this young attacking
midfielder that had been really impressive and the transfer saga was drawn out for over a month
amid masses of speculation? Oh yeah, that was just this past summer with Samir Nasri. The same
thing is now happening with Andrei Arshavin.
Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger revealed that he's not just after Arshavin for this transfer market
window and again highlighted the fact that new signings are not a priority. He told the club's
official website: I don't think it is worth to talk about [Arshavin] at the moment because we are
nowhere near signing him.
Andrei Arshavin looks more and more Arsene Wenger's target for this transfer window. His agent,
Dennis Lachter, told the News of the World: The deal should go through this week. Andrei wants to
go, Arsenal want him and Zenit accept they have to sell. It's just a matter of sorting out the sums
but the indication [.
Even though he is not on the Arsenal board and he has been treated like a pariah figure by the
board since he started to build up his stake in the club, it appears that Usmanov is the man who
will ensure that Arshavin joins Arsenal. The Arsenal majority shareholder, Russian billionaire
Alisher Usmanov, who is chairman [.
Morning all. We are in the midst of a mighty 8 match unbeaten streak which is pretty exciting don't
you think? Problem is that Aston Villa seem to keep winning. Which needs to stop. Seriously.
So there are a couple of news items today, and of course the top story belongs to Andrei Arshavin,
who assuredly is making some people sick of hearing about him other than me by now.
Arsenal may be edging closer to sign Andrei Arshavin. A Zenit statement, released late on Monday
night, read: The fundamental understanding over the transfer of the player is achieved between the
clubs. At the moment the basic obstacle in realisation of the transaction is Andrei Arshavin's
personal requirements.
Morning all. A pretty good bit to get through today so let's get right down to it.
We've been linked with Mikel Arteta quite a bit going into this transfer season, but Wenger says no
enquiry has been made. Now this could just be trying to throw off potential competition for his
signature or he could really be serious about, and I have a hunch that maybe they really aren't
interested in Arteta.
It seems like Zenit's Andrei Arshavin wants a move to Arsenal. The 27-year old, linked with Arsenal
and Manchester City, declared: In some games last season, we played football which was very similar
to that of Arsenal. I would prefer my present No 10 but in the team where I hope to move it's not
vacant.
Arsenal up Andrei Arshavin bid as Inter Milan join battle - exclusive Full Article Arsene Wenger
will increase his bid for Andrei Arshavin to £12million - after Jose Mourinho launched a
battle to sign the Russian playmaker. Inter Milan boss Mourinho has turned up the pressure on
Arsenal in trying to put one over on his bitter [.
Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo has made an agreement to join Real Madrid next summer
with Los Merengues president Ramon Calderon, according to guillembalague.com. Although no deal has
been made with United, who are adamant that Ronaldo will stay in the Premiership. It is claimed
that Ronaldo and his agent Jorge Mendes have come to [.
Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger is still hopeful over the signing of Russian striker Andrei Arshavin.
He told the club's official website: I am very hopeful - we know what we want to do. We are not
close to making a signing today, but we are in negotiations. [Timeframe?] Will it be days? Yes,
because the transfer [.
Wenger has never gone public on transfer targets since the doomed attempt to lure Baptista from
Sevilla, but Arsene broke with tradition and started to talk openly about Arshavin. Whilst he
stated there was no news on any deal, he was hoping a deal will be struck before the end of the end
of the [.
Zenit striker Andrei Arshavin wants a move to Arsenal. The Russian is clearly frustrated at Zenit's
stubborness in not reaching an agreement as he told The Times: My hopes now rest with God. Apart
from him, nobody can help me. I see Arsenal as my team of the future. Everything now depends on
Zenit. If they [.
Zenit radio has announced that Arsenal's £15m offer from Arshavin has been rejected by the
board of the club. This is the second meeting held by the Russian club to reach an agreement and it
appears that certain hardline elements within the club are still holding out for £20m.
The story goes on to say [.
Morning all. Today is a big day for Arsenal and for me. I just got my copy of the Official
Illustrated History of Arsenal and I am facking stoked. I'll probably read through it a good seven
or eight times this weekend. For Arsenal though, it's the last day (supposedly) for us to work out
a deal for Andrey Arshavin.
Morning all. There is pretty much nothing at all to write about today. No signings, no new injuries
(Thank God), and really no news at all. However, there is a story about the prospect of Jimmy
Bullard of Fulham and Martin Laursen from Villa coming to Arsenal. Now I won't pretend to have
discovered this story on my own, so full credit to Arseblogger if this story proves to be true.
With the Man U v. Chelsea match looming large and Rafa Benitez' comments about Sir Alex Ferguson
dominating the news cycles there is precious little Arsenal news to report this morning. In fact, I
have no facts. I have rumor and innuendo. The most disappointing rumor of the day is that Arsenal
only offered £10m for [.
It just can't be more official than this: Arsenal have made a £10 million offer for Andrei
Arshavin but it was rejected as insufficient. Zenit spokesman Alexei Petrov said: I can confirm
that Zenit did get an official offer from Arsenal about Andrei Arshavin. It was rejected as
insufficient. They offered about £10 million.
ANDREI ARSHAVIN will sign for Arsenal this month — despite Zenit St Petersburg turning down
an initial £10million bid. Club spokesman Alexei Petrov revealed: "I can confirm that
Zenit did get an official offer of about £10m from Arsenal for Andrei Arshavin. "It was
rejected as insufficient. No new offers have arrived from [.
N'Zogbia, 22, is desperate to quit St James' Park — despite boss Joe Kinnear making it clear
he is not for sale. The midfielder was booed when he came on as a sub during Saturday's 2-2 draw
with West Ham and French giants Lyon are the latest club to be linked with [...]
What up hoes? So I said I wouldn't post today if the news was only about Arshavin, but of course it
is and I am still going to do a post. Why? Because today Arsene Wenger confirmed what we have all
long suspected, that we are in talks with Zenit for him. He says we aren't close to signing the
player at the moment, but the negotiations are ongoing.
Not much Arsenal news to report today. The Arshavin deal is "progressing" I guess.
According to several sources, Zenit invited Arsenal's negotiating team to Russia and they have
accepted the invitation and... well.. yeah that's about it.But don't let facts get in the way!
Arshavin's "omnipotent" agent claims the deal is done!
The celebrations were a bit premature, stemming from an insultingly vague Dailymail article that
alluded to a potential deal today. It contained the usual bit of clairvoyant verbiage such
as: "Zenit will accept improved 15m offer" and "Arsenal hope at last to conclude
deal". Clearly nothing concrete but it looks like the masses took what [.
'Ello all. Just got home from eating a burrito at Moe's. Delicious. Celtics play in 10 minutes and
my bed is calling my name for a nap, so it should be a good day. We played Cardiff earlier today,
and played to a 0-0 draw. My thoughts on that in a minute. Just a quick thought before that though.
The deal agreed between Arsenal and Zenit has now finally been announced by Zenit St Petersburg on
it's website and in due course, as I revealed on Friday, it was subject to personal terms, which
contrary to some misinformed sources had not been agreed. Put as best as I can, from the russian
translation, Zenit have suggested a [.
Hello all. It's 1 am here which means 6 am in London but I've only just checked the news and seen
that Zenit St Petersburg and Arsenal have agreed a fee for Andrei Arshavin. Zenit officials
confirmed that an agreement had been reached on a transfer fee and all that remains is working out
personal terms.
El culebrón del mercado de invierno, con permiso de Kaká, parece estar cerca de
terminarse. Y es que Arsenal y Zenit han llegado a un acuerdo para el traspaso de Andrei Arshavin,
estrella del conjunto de San Petersburgo y uno de los mejores jugadores en la pasada Eurocopa de
Austria y Suiza. El propio club ruso [.
Steve Bruce, the Wigan Athletic manager, has launched a scathing attack on Manchester City, blaming
the club's "disgusting" behaviour for the sale of Wilson Palacios, the midfield player,
to Tottenham Hotspur. Bruce accused City of using Palacios as a pawn in an endgame intended to
ensure that Craig Bellamy, the Wales striker, moved to Manchester [.
