Andrey Arshavin saga - the end is near

[viktor]

Ok, I agree there´s been too much talk around him lately, most of it was a product of the imagination of the journalists, recently there were some new facts :
- Barcelona is out of the game, they offered 15 million and we rejected it, I think rightly so, they counted on him more in a bench-sitting position , me thinks..

- There are two teams in the game now, Tottenham and Arsenal. Tottenham offered 19 million pounds for him today, don´t know what will be our reaction to it...
Arsenal is the other candidate, but Adebayor has to leave first. Unless he doesn´t, I don´t really see a chance he´ll go there.

Spurs are in the risk of losing Berbatov (Man Utd made a bid for him) and Robbie Keane - scousers, so an offense-strengthening signing for them, seems pretty logical...

I want him to go to Tottenham
He will get more creative space there and will be in a much more important position.

He is too good for Spurs

That's the thing, he'll play regularly and he'll be the leader, no bench-sitting

[Matt]

He's start at Arsenal

Chelsea are also in the hunt aswell still...

Matt, he might too good for Spurs now, but look at the team with him in it! And Modric, Dos Santos, Gomes...

Chelsea are out of it, me thinks, Scolari said he doesn't want him, I can't see Andrey wanting to go there since it's a quite rotten place imo ....
His agent said that three clubs are willing to offer the required 20 million quid - two English and one Spanish. I can't see Barcelona bidding again, their interest wasn't serious. So the Spanish team is a big unknown, and I think, apart from Real and Barca, nobody will pay 20 million quid, I mean, there's no team that could afford it...

Arsenal and Tottenham will get loads of money for Adebayor and Berbatov, respectively, so they can spend it...
