Arshavin could be alternative for Ribery

Arsenal attacker and Russian international Andrei Arshavin (27) is quoted by British tabloid The Sun as saying that he would like to play for Barcelona one day: "If I have the chance to play for Barcelona, I'd be really happy."

Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo claims that Arshavin, a well-known Barcelona fan, could be offering himself to Barcelona as an option in case the transfer of Ribéry would fail.

but we can say the same about Ribery and Agüero

beautiful, my favourite player in arsenal, rocking player, good person. great addition to the squad

sashi said...

we could've got him for 15mil but we would go out n pay 20 mil to Arsenal i guess!

deco said...

I would not mind having Keirrison our new striker.
He got a lot similarities with the way Eto'o plays, mayby more talented (if he got also more similarities with Ronaldo)
Very fast and choses well position.

But don't know who would be our best leftwing ?
Arshavin,Ribery,Robinho,Neymar(for the future)

And why not w8ing bying a left wing until next year. HEnry did prety well last year.

I actually prefer giving 25 million for Arshavin than 60+ million for Ribery...

JR said...

@deco, Keirrison is nothing like Eto'o or Ronaldo. He is bad in posession, and is a pure goalscorer. That's why I don't think he is what we need at all.

buj said...

Arshavin? OK. Lets put that name in the "maybe" bin.

Ekar said...

Eto'o is faster than Keirrison.Keirrison has a OK finishing at the moment, its getting better and better but he's not ronaldo.Brazil will have a good combo for the 2014 world cup...Keirrison and Pato....like Ronaldo and Romario...?

barca4life said...

Wont we end up paying "Hleb" money for arshavin?

jazzy said...

Ekar. if Dunga is still brazil coach till 2014, i fear that the striker will still be Luis Fabiano n robinho.. ;)
i dont understand why he didnt play pato in the Confederations Cup.

Nisse said...

Brilliant, he would be perfect for the left wing, a better choice than Ribery, and if you think about the difference in price, it should be the obvious choice.

Buy him and Mascherano, and keep Eto'o and I would be really satisfied with the midfield and forwards.

ark. said...

hmm ya thats nice. but i guess he just can play well for another 3-4 years left. not young enough, but good players :)

vascogalactico said...

20 million for Arshavin would be an absolute gift.. with the market clusterfuck as it is, he would be let go from Arsenal for much more.

Etsp said...

The Arshavin-rumor again? Let's hope it'll have a positive outcome this time around then.

everyday news tells me that barca won nothing and real won everything.
I wish Barca continue wit the same team

Harshawardhan said...

this guy would be awesome for us.. he is unambiguous about playing for us unlike ribery plus he is a lot cheaper. i think he would be perfect till gai is ready.

Anonymous said...

harshawardhan, ribery is much better. plus aresnal will ask a lot for him cos of his performances.

Harshawardhan said...

hey anony,
i agree ribery is better but i think arsha is more comitted to barca.
and besides bayern keep insistinghe wont leave and if he does they are gonna ask for megabucks somethig like 50 mil plus.
i dont know how much arsenal will be asking for arsha though.. you are right.. he may turn out expensive too.
