For The Record-If Arsenal does not sign Andrei Arshavin after all the hassle they went through to agree on a transfer fee with Zenit St. Petersburg, it would be an embarrassment. Now, while I believe Arshavin isn't the type of player they should be targeting (a separate entry in itself, but a player in his mid-peak, commanding top dollar), I do think he is a necessary addition. Reports in British papers suggest that Arshavin would have to take a 20,000 pound per week pay cut to come to the Emirates. Through a 38 week season, that works out to be around 750,000. After all the haggling on a transfer fee, they're telling the fans that they aren't willing to spend another 750,000 to get this guy?
C'mon Arsene or the board, you worked so hard to get this guy. Don't penny pinch now!
(Sorry about all the Arsenal entries lately, I promise I'll get into some other sports soon)
