Andrei Arshavin - Forward - Arsenal (4 Viewers)
- Thread starter gagych
- Start date
We all want to see Juve play better, but we also want a Juventus that is future-proof. We're already in a position where it can hardly get worse, so to be fair I think now is the right time to look at younger players to actually start building a quality side that can last a good few years. The only problem will be that those young 'stars' like Hazard and Sanchez are wanted all over Europe, and that we're not exactly the most attractive club to go to right now, not being in the CL and all. Our name will definitely still attract some though and we should have a bit to spend, so in the end I hope we end up with some good signings.
Arshavin is definitely a good player, but at that price, he's simply too expensive. I know I sound like a bit of a broken record, but if we can't get Hazard, we should really keep a close eye on Elia's situation at Hamburg. He really, really needs a change of scenery and could go for pretty cheap. He wouldn't be that supertalent or superstar, he'd be a bit risky even, but one worth taking, imo.
Comes down to what I said earlier really, it all depends on his price.

It's alllll about the money lads. 
You're right Dusan, but with wingers it's about speed, enthousiasm and so on. They're not the kind of players I'd opt for experience for.

He is a very good player on his day, and given the shit we put up with atm, I would welcome him (although not for 20m euros).
The importance of his age is being exaggerated. Let's worry about the distant future once we have a squad worthy of competing in the present. If these "öld" players help us secure CL during their limited years at a top level, it's worth the money (lots of player continue to perform in their 30's btw, so let's not assume he is going to move like Del Piero in 2 seasons).

I would love to have Arshavin here, though not for 20 million. Hell, didn't Arsenal pay like 16 or so? If Marotta can get him for 12 or so (ha! yeah right.) it'd be a very astute signing.
We all want young, brilliant and cheap but if a great player can contribute for 2 or 3 years then it's a good move.

Juve consider Arshavin swoop
There are reports Juventus could make a swoop for Arsenal midfielder Andrey Arshavin.
The Russian will be out of contract at the end of the season, so the Gunners must sell now before losing him on a free transfer.
According to The People newspaper, Juve are prepared to make an offer worth below €5m.
Arshavin would be the latest Arsenal player to leave the Emirates in a summer exodus that has included Cesc Fabregas and Gael Clichy.
The Bianconeri face competition from Turkish club Galatasaray for Arshavin’s signature.

I would love this.
Arshavin's class, and I'll be stoked if we can get him for 5m or less.

Nedved came when he was almost 30 and look how he turned out. He was in 30s for the majority of his career at Juve. For a player that can have a lot of quality at times it's worth the risk.
