Asenal Need to Make A Decision On Arshavin’s Future

Wenger Set To Decide On Arshavin by AH

Andrey Arshavin will be given one last chance to impress Arséne Wenger tonight, before a decision is made on the Russian’s future. It’s understood that Wenger wishes to keep Arshavin as a squad player. It’s also worth noticing Arshavin’s ability to play in a number of positions, the Russian can play Left Wing, Centre Attacking Midfield and even a Striker. Versatile players are key to a successful squad and Arshavin is more than capable of producing something special, if his chance comes.

Arshavin spent the 2nd half on the2011 / 2012 season on loan at former club Zenit St Petersburg. He impressed greatly during his loan spell, as well as he did during the Euros with the Russian National team. This led me to believe that perhaps the reason behind why he doesn’t perform particularly well for us is the fact that he doesn’t get a run of games.

Remember the player that we signed back in January 2009, he had an amazing 2nd half of the season and I believe that same player is still with us, but he just needs to get a few games, to help build his fitness to a competitive level.

Now this is the difficult part, and the main reason why Arshavin doesn’t get much playing time. It’s difficult to play a player that isn’t at a competitive fitness, without having your teamed weakened. But if Wenger uses Arshavin as a sub we could see the Russian try and challenge for a starting spot in the team.

Just remember Form is Temporary but Class Is Permanent and Arshavin is class.

Arsenal News: Agent confirms Arshavin’s want-away status

It has been officially confirmed by Andrey Arshavin’s agent Dennis Lakhter that the little Russian is seeking a move away from the Emirates this transfer window.

The Russian has largely had a disappointing career at the Emirates and was essentially forced to complete a loan move to his former club Zenit St. Petersburg in January of last season.

The increased playing time proved the move was a good one with Arshavin retaining a spot for Euro 2012, where he put in some good performances, but ultimately couldn’t prevent Russia from being eliminated at the group stages.

Arshavin’s agent Dennis Lakhter is quoted as saying by Goal.com to Radyospor:

Arsene Wenger will transfer some new names for the forward line for the upcoming season.

Arshavin doesn’t want to stay in the team. Next year, he could continue his career in Turkey. I know that two clubs in Turkey are seriously interested in Arshavin.

There also some offers from the MLS, but Arshavin does not want to go to America. He also rejected an offer from Anzhi.

Obviously, it is not surprising that the little Russian is seeking a move away from the Emirates, particularly with new signing Lukas Podolski and up-and-comer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain pushing him further down the pecking order.

While he did start his career off at Arsenal with a bang, his form has steadily been on the decline along with his work-rate. Hopefully he is able to re-discover some of the form that brought him to the Emirates in the first place at another club.

What do you guys think of Arshavin? Will it be good to see the back of him? Or should Wenger give him a shot in his preferred position in attacking midfield? Feel free to leave a comment below or discuss Arshavin in the allArsenal.com Fourms here.
