View Full Version : That boy Arshavin
I believe he is just right sub for Seedorf the way he plays and his firmness on the ball are great, Clarence is maybe better outside shooter but the Russian is better at slicing the defense. The point is that boy is made for Milan formation the way it is now and this kind of player is one in 20 years to be found so Berlu if you wanna invest here a good one.
You cannot replace Arshavin with Seedorf. Seedorf is a left or right sided midfielder while the Russian ace plays behind the strikers or as a striker.
It is only a few times where Seedorf has played in this role through his career.
Based on his performance on Euro 2008 and UEFA Cup, I believe Arshain is a good back-up for Kaka both of them even can be used side by side in 4-3-2-1 formation. But dunno if he could maintain his form since rarely russian players succeed in higher level such as Kanchelskis, Titov, Smertin or lately Kerzhakov

arshaven and also the striker pavluchenko both look very good at Euros, the big club of europe already been link with both players. but what I like to mention here that is Milan a big club? may be but when it come to spending its certainly not! they spent just 8 million for zambrotta and land flamieni of free transfer and they also said if they missed aderbayour , then not gonna buy any one. barca is in hunt of togo striker so Milan have no chance. if Milan didn't buy quality striker this summer, then another miserable season is inevitable.......
the president of the Russian football federation Vitaly Mutko, has said to journalists
Arshavin would like to play abroad, maybe for Barcelona. That club is in his heart since he was a young boy and it's his dream to play there one day. He talks about Barcelona the whole time. I'm sure he could play there without any problem and show all his quality
Asked about the rumours linking him with a summer move, Arshavin said in an interview
Maybe the time to leave indeed has come. I know I have offers from England and Germany, but what I really would like is to play in the Primera División. I have always followed the Spanish league and I like the football they play there. But at this moment, I didn't yet receive any offers from Spain

I don't believe he would attract the crowd like he did in EURO. First, as you've said. Second, I worry if he is a tournament-specialist player. You know, there are some players who shine brightly in world cup or euro, but can't do something for their club.
sorry, but I thought he's doing something like giving the club last UEFA cup ? that's not bad

you didn't read the first reason :)
Of course winning UEFA cup is not bad, especially he won it with Zenit, a not-really-famous club :)
