1) Arshavin made it big with Russia in the Euro not the WC
2) Despite his bad form last season his stats are still amazing for a winger let alone one who rarely played and is often times employed out of his natural location
3) Arshavin at his worst shits all over Elia
( a barely talented player who said Juve are as big as hamburg), Afellay and the likes ... at his best he can be world class. He has already publicly stated his loss of enjoying the game with arsenal because the English game is ugly and he cant be creative or act on instinct.
4) His only weaknesses are his age and unstable mentality. Arsene sucks at keeping the players under good morale anyway and so if conte is as good as people make him out to be Arshavin should be great for us. Arshavin for 5 Mills is a no brainer, he would easily be out best player in our attack.
