Arshavin's reception at the Emirates

[Viva Rivaldo]

There's something in there that justifies Wenger's transfer policy though, in my opinion.

People are up in arms about him bringing on a proven international player with plenty of CL experience, for a young player who was making his first start in the league. Whilst the same Arsenal fans are going mental at him for not buying proven, experienced players.

Not at my most eloquent having just woken up, but I think a solid point can be salvaged from that, if you look hard enough.

no, he has been horrible for months and months and its not like ox was just given a chance out of nowhere. they have been calling for him to play since he's been there pretty much as any sane person can see he's a special talent and arsenal have no other good wide man. so when he gets his chance, and he is there best player and they are back in the game with 15 mins to go, he takes him off

Me too. When he first joined Arsenal, he was unplayable. An absolute joy to watch IMO. He's been out of form for a long time but Wenger has stuck by him. The fans haven't. Regardless of who comes off, no 'home' player should ever be booed when entering the field by his own fans. It was 1-1 FFS.

I'll always like Arshavin. He's a quality player. If he really doesn't want to be there, then it's Wenger's job to sell him.

I have never seen fans treat a player like that, to boo him for entering the pitch, just due to poor form, and it is to me unthinkable, unless of course it would be in an extreme situation, such as Tevez coming back or something.

When Arshavin first burst onto the scene in the European Championships, I thought he was one of the best I had ever seen. Absolutely stunning player on his day and I thought Arsenal had made a great bargain getting him for a mere £12nm (or something like that). But since he joined Arsenal I can't think of one single appearance where he reached that kind of Euro 2008 class again.
I wonder if he can get back to his best, and if it means he have to go back to Russia in order to do it.

You weren't around in the Edgehill days then?

This is nothing new, in the midst of Arsenal fans labeling Nasri a mercenary, they have the biggest of the lot on their books in the form of Arshavin. A player once borderline world class who is not so old that he's lost "it" because of age - he simply doesn't give a toss and is happy to collect his very large wage without putting in any effort whatsoever.

So are you happy or not he made that sub?

That is my only question
