2 Minutes ago it was confirmed that Arshavin IS now an Arsenal player!!! Fee still to be confirmed!!

Maybe too late to do more than make sure we finish top 4 this season, but we need to be in CL!!!

Gooooooners!!!

Goooooooners!!!

Gooooooners!!!

Goooooooners!!!

yup! 12 million pound, isn't it?

thats not confirmed yet Andie - somewhere between that and 16 million, though if it is lower figure there will probably be add ons for appearances etc.

Arse Shaving? isnt that a gay man does before he puts on his make up????

Dont know what all the fuss is about with this one like..... The season is fooked for Arsenalwould have been better of sticking with the kids, giving them the experience

Arsenal have completed the transfer of Andrei Arshavin from Zenit St Petersburg for an undisclosed fee.

The completion of the move comes after extended negotiations between the two clubs that stretched beyond the closure of the transfer window on Monday.

The Russian international travelled to London to formalise personal terms prior to the deadline

(from bbc just now)

sorry typo's been on the san miguel AGAIN

P'Iain, it was on the news here that Arsenal paid 12 million....or maybe it just gossip

with the injuries and incosistency we have had, we need an experienced and creative player - theres no chance of the league, but we HAVE to finish top 4 - not having CL income next year will set us back a season...

of course, we'll be there for UCL next season.....i'm so sure

I would have thought that you would have been a supporter of a Scottish team Iain, not a London one. ;-)

funky - do have a Scottish team (Hearts) but there are strong family links to Arsenal so I have followed them from about age 7.

Auld Yin (Peter) - take it you support one of our scummy London neighbours... ; )

I don't see much of football but i love to see a handsum football player..lol..

Congratulations for your team !!

hope he is a flop
