Because you have never seen him play. His style is similar to kaka, if you don't like arshavin then you won't like how kaka play.

i dont know about arshavin, but Toni is the most over- rated player. and im a glad he didnt join milan, he is worse than Gila, he can only score on good crosses, he cannot make anything out of a bad cross, and without riery he definietly wouldnt score that much.

You didn't watch him a lot, that's for sure.
I believe he's great and Arsenal could finally win something if they get him. He's exactly what they need and he's much better than the Balarusian guy and the Spanish NT reserve midfielder.

A bit over the top in my opinion. Toni certainly did not endear himself to the Azzurri faithful with some lumbering displays of calamity, but to say he is worse than Gila is an insult to Borriello. After all, Borriello is Toni's sub in the Italian national team and the player we look to have pinned our hopes on.

Toni's problem is that he has not played at the highest level. International football in my opinion is of a great standard, but it doesn't approach the level of the Champions League. Toni has yet to play a CL game, and given that he was a late bloomer it is easy to understand why. Definitely not a patch on Vieri in his prime (their attributes make it a logical comparison) but not as dismal as Gilardino.

Wow, I am sold on Arshavin. What an unbelievable player. For me, he's got the same level of influence on a game as Kaka, Messi, and R10 (at his prime). Even if we dont really need him (tactically speaking), I think we should still get him, because he is an absolute gem and players like that dont come along very often. From what I have seen, even a transfer fee approaching 30M would be acceptable for him (but unfortunately, or fortunately I dont know I'm not Berlusconi)..

He is a good keeper, maybe not the best, and 26. not sure whether he would join us or not, as Fener are in the CL, and have a bright future ahead - probably they could (/do) offer a similar salary?

I know who he is ... I was just asking why he would be an EU player. If he's from Turkey and nowhere else and never played anywhere else, he's not an EU player.

And GKs who take stupid red cards ... umh I'm not sure it could help him to be in Milan eyes nowadays lol.

I still think we need a guy like him to replace Seedorf (or to allow Seedorf to replace him sometimes).

He's my first choice ... but just after, if Arshavin was too expensive, I'd like us to go for Rosina or Montolivo (or both).

With the fact that we're buying a powerful forward to partner Pato up front...I'd say that Seedorf has already been partially replaced. Just the formation change to 4-3-1-2 relegates Seedorf to the bench (because he won't play CM anymore...not that I want him to anyway).

Arsenal doesn't deserve him. Frankly, I think he deserves a place in Milan. I think Seedorf is having too much pressure on him, and that Arshavin could help reduce that. And that way, we add more teeth to our midfield. I love Seedorf and its always a joy to watch him play, but he needs some rest.

i will personally write a death threat to galiani if arsenal sign him. arsenal wont pay alot for him. arsenal dont pay high wages. if the can sign him with in my opinion harsh transfer policies, than our management is clearly NOT trying.

you can argue we dont need an AM... i'd argue we do. But class is class is class. A player like him does not come along that often and u should strike when u can

we need to make transfers worth their money.
im guna give a list of players we should definitely buy, although theyl be costly..
ronaldinho .. we cant give in on the chase for him, hes always one of the best and hel find his form back at milan, chiellini, he was definitely the most outstanding player against spain, grosso, another great player against spain, hes very influencial up the wing and hes fluent in giving crosses in, and finally adebayor or arshavin, we also need a goalkeeper:| have we completely forgot how badly dida and kalac did last season? id go for doni

If I was Berlusconi (like some claim around here), I'd be the first to fire Galliani if Arsenal signs him. Anybody that ends up in Arsenal in my opinion is wasted talent. Fabregas isn't really that great, and let me bet you if he went elsewhere his downward spiral would happen.

I do argue that we need an attacking midfielder, but personally I don't think you are going about this correctly (with some things you have said).

Real thinking about selling Sneijder!!!
We must buy him!

Selling six players?? The writer of this article must have misread the numerous occasions that Bernd Schuster have said that there will be few changes to the side.

Real Madrid will be further strengthened this summer. Ronaldo will come and a few more.

Either way, I still think Sneijder is over-rated. Sure he put in some good performances for Holland, but he's unable to do that consistently over the course of a season. Further, you guys remember the fortune Real spent on him? They would never let him go and if they did it would not be less than what they spent.
