Barcelona make bid for Arshavin

Ok he is 27. not excatly a spring chicken but i guess he can give them at least 2 good seasons. after which he will probably go back to Zenit.

It unbelievable how this Arshavin-mania spreads like forest fire. I can bet that 99% of all the coaches that are falling over themselves to sign him ever knew about his existance before this year's UEFA Cup final. And saw him in another two games since. Are they taking into consideration that he has played in an obscure russian club so far, in a second row league? He's 27 and he's never been abroad. Shall he adapt to the life in the west which is completely different from life in Russia? The guy has sure enough great talent but the past shows clearly that this isn't enough to prevent him from becomming the next flop. I do hope he will manage though.

he won't do anything at barca, everytime you change style on game you get injured, this kid wn't be so quick after slower more tactical game in spain. but good luck!!

Did the 'superstar' play against Spain? I didn't notice him.

i think that every time barcelona changes their sence of style it goes against them.

remember what real madrid did in the 2006-2007 season???they were changing everything at the beginning and so they were loosing bad, nobody thought that they could win the title. later the manager changed nothing, and ever since then real madrid won 2 straight seasons
