Igor Akinfeev talks To Arshavin

Akinfeev is one hell of a goalkeeper, though I suppose some fans will have critics moving from the Russian league to the Premier. Fact is the guy has proved it at International level and during the Champions League that between the posts he has massive potential and has been showing so much promise ever since making his mark in Russian football.

If I’m correct, he made his International debut during his teens and for a goalie, his talent speaks for himself.

The only question mark would be the asking price, considering his contract does not expire for another 3 years and while CSKA have the financial power, they will want quite a sum of cash for this sought after goalkeeper. I know their president has been holding out a high demand for Milos Krasic and I expect the same for Ankinfeev.

City advertising images must not contain Bellamy or Shay Given, at least that’s one story going around, another earlier report that Joe Hart told Given he would be No. 1 this season then carries more credibility, of course these are probably just rumours at a time when there’s no real stories around, however AW rates Shay Given.

Twitchy can have Bellamy at shite hart lane, he’d fit in great with that other little turd Bentley, two self opinionated and loudmouthed barspuds

The new season is just around the corner, please AW, conclude your summer signings so that we can focus on our strategy to winning the EPL. Please AW, Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
Any of Akinfeev or given will be fantastic. Now that joe hart is off the shelf, Aw go for any of the other two!!

Yay I like Arshavin again, do Im the only one who loves players when they said good things to his national team mates to join Arsenal? (Not the Barca style).

The few times that I seen him play he was great and if Im not wrog the best save of the 09/10 UEFA Champions League was one of this guy. I also seen him make a silly mistake but we can expect that for his age, anyway he´s better than Almunia+Fabiansk and probably Don Vitto together.

If Arsene want to show the wallet we should get him if not Given is a good option too.

I would not put a “kopeck” on Akinfeev joining the Arsenal. Soviet Sport has lifted this interview from the Daily Star. First, any Russian would not use the surname but the diminutive of Andrei. Second the Daily Star omitted the “But” as Akinfeev said , according to the Soviet Sport, “But to be the No.1 at MU (Manure) would be the greatest honour”.
Like the Cesc “if” or “whether”, the “but” is a tabloid attempt to make a headline.

I think they meet on Wednesday JIN and it appears the red and blue scum of catalonia are pushing Fab to hand in a request.

How do you know they haven’t already spoken? After one of the friendlies (can’t remember which) Wenger was asked “have you spoken to Cesc” and he said “yes, but i won’t reveal what was said ini a private conversation”.

All the hype and rumour about the situation is still originating in Spain and to be honest they don’t know anything.

Didn’t they get a loan of stupid amount million Euros a week or so ago to cover unpaid wages and expenses?

I’m not sure who’s the biggest disgrace, the c*ntalonians or the governing body, though I did read it would be difficult for them to pursue Barca legally on tapping up as Laporta has left office so his comments are nothing to do with them and the players are not officials of the team, same as the Spanish media so Barca’s officials are relatively clean and it’s unlikely UEFA/FIFA will pursue the flimsy case.
