Arshavin for £1 million

Fulham keeping tabs on Arshavin as Cottagers plot surprise £1m swoop

Fulham are considering a swoop for Arsenal outcast Andrey Arshavin.

Zenit St Petersburg are leading the race to resign the Russia international, but Arshavin's preference to remain in London is hindering the deal.

Arshavin's wife Julia is expecting their third child, and they are keen to school their children in London.


Wanted: The Russia international is set to leave the Emirates this summer

Arshavin, who hasn't travelled with Arsenal on the club's pre-season tour of Asia, is deemed surplus to requirements at the Emirates Stadium, and could be sold for just £1million.

Fulham haven't made a firm offer for the 31-year-old, who has just one year remaining on his current deal and would have to take a cut on his £80,000-a-week wages.

Qatari side Al-Sadd are also hopeful of sealing the signature of Arshavin.

The ambitious Doha-based club are seeking a second big-name signing following the capture of Spanish legend Raul.

Surely we could find a lazy, selfish douchebag for less than 1 million.

[elgreenio]

can't see it. Surprising how many goals he was actually involved in last season despite his lazy demeanour

Ruiz?  :Get Coat gif:

And following the Carlton Cole annual rumour we return to the Arshavin rumour.

HERE'S BALONEY (Jack Nicholson appears with an axe for Jol)

Ye of little faith! What about Koumas?  064.gif

ARshavin for a £1M within our wage structure would be a steal. Just look at his stats being used as a bit part player last season. His talent and ability on the ball we all know is great and with a manager supporting him he could be great for a couple of seasons.

But as Lighthouse states this rumour resurrects itself every summer regardless of who is manager here and is very unlikely but it does not fill me fear should it ever come to pass unlike the Cole rumour, that keeps coming around every window.

arshavin has stated many a time how he hates london. he will be off

[ToodlesMcToot]

Wonder why we've never been linked with G Dos Santos? Quality player. Can play anywhere in midfield. Tottenham seem anxious to rid themselves of him. Theyve never really given him a chance.

Agree that this would be a steal and a good addition if Jol could keep him motivate.

Doubt he would ever accept the wages we would offer though.

Tottenham are asking too much for him.

for 1mil it still seems a good deal

Thanks! Difficult to understand. They never play the guy. Think he'd do well in Jol's system though.

If we could keep his family on this side of the Atlantic, it might be worth it. His father wants to be his coach, his manager, the chairman, and the head of the FA.

I think he's off to Spain on a permanent transfer anyhow.

He's come out and said Tottenham were asking for double what they paid for him which is around £8 million and no one interested can really afford that, particularly if he wants to move to Spain which I think he does. Paying the price for signing such a long contract it seems. I think AVB may have plans for him but we will see, Redknapp did too and he didn't get played.

Didn't realize that about his dad. He should speak to Kenny Cooper about the pitfalls of having an over-active parent involved in his career.

[Andy_M]

Well this is a rumour I didn't expect.

Could be interesting if true.

[Mr_Moon]

Also apparently Dos Santos loves to party and is quite unprofessional.

Did you see the Mexico match yesterday? The guy looked like David Stockdale!

No. I didn't have the opportunity. I have seen him play plenty internationally and he's always been dangerous, creative, and hard working on those occasions.
