Johnny Bryant Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Just watching him stand next to Van der Sar at a corner he looks like he'd be more at home in our Under 16's . He's only little and looks like he's never had a shave in his life . Haha he does .. but hes playing well.. had a few shots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton_Worshiper Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 we've made a huge mistake... why? because despite no official word from Everton to confirm we were/are even interested in him we should be buying him because the fans think we should. Football clubs would be bankrupt if they listened to all fans demands... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Berno Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Aboslute quality performance and he capped it off perfectly with a goal. Done really well all game but i agree that game alone has probably added 5m to his value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtooley Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 What a great performance by Arshavin tonight. He is the best player at the Euros and against a quality team like the Dutch, he basically tore them to pieces. I would agree with some of the earlier notes - we needed to try to move quicker but let's be honest, if you were Zenit, you wouldn't be selling to anyone until after the Euros if at all !! I would blow the whole of the transfer budget to get him and Manny. Some thoughts on other players we have been rumoured with : Engelaar - Not good enough Arda Turam - Good player but how many Turks have been successful in the Prem Kallstrom - Couldn't even get a game for Sweden and they were poor Moutinho - good little player but not sure we need another little player. Arshavin is much better for prob similar money Veloso - Was very poor in his only game of the tournament Lewandowski - Not good enough Cmon Moyesy - pull a rabbit out of the hat and get Arshavin signed up.

Blue4Ever Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Engelaar - Not good enough Moutinho - good little player but not sure we need another little player. Arshavin is much better for prob similar money dont agree with that mate, I thought he looked class in the game I saw him play, except for when he got took off at half time, he is the perfect replacement for cars imo, we couldnt wish for a better situation because it sounds like he is going to leave and I think the premiership could tempt him even if he does like the german league. Moutinho is a class act, he would be just as good as arshavin given a year in the prem imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiffa Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 We probably won't get him, he's far too good for Everton in all honesty. We just refuse to sign players of that quality because Kenwright doesn't know what day it is and Moyes is scared of spending more than 5 million. Moyse is not scared of spending 5 million so dont be silly look at the yak n johnson and this transfer window he will spend big n get us in the top 4 so dont be so negitive.

Randomness Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Yes, While Andrei "Kanchelskis" Arshavin was the obvious name Pavlychenko was absolutly immense, classy and a good engine (he destroyed that crossbar in extra time) but i reckon we're full with regards to strikers to be honest.

Jesse11 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 may aswell close this thread now, will probably sign with one of the big 4 for some ridiculous wages and sit on the bench all year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant#1 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 His prob worth bout 25mil, the only way we could get him is if we offered a direct swap with tony hibbert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus we'd have to compete with barca for this chap. He'd walk into our team - we'd make room if there was the slightest chance of signing him - that def mid who should have been sent off looks a more realistic signing - kolodin or something - he looked good and what a shot on him!

aaron Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 may aswell close this thread now, will probably sign with one of the big 4 for some ridiculous wages and sit on the bench all year why? IF we are after him then until he signs for someone else or signs a new deal at zenit then the threads usually stay open. And stop being so negative.

Romey 1878 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Arshavin just isn't going to happen after last night. Their team is full of players I'd take though - Anyukov the right back would answer my prayers, Zhirkov would solve out left midfield problem, Kolodin is a monster with a ferocious shot, and then there's Pavlyuchenko (although, he would infuriate with his miss 5 to score one policy).

Vintage Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 According to the Guardian there is a clause in Arshavin's contract stating he can leave for £10m: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2008/ju...russia.euro2008 If this is true we are still in with a shout. Only negative side is that he can probably demand a higher wage. Got to agree with randomness regarding Pavlychenko. He looked quality - had great work effort, young and had a great engine and with a bit more time would improve his finishing. Don't want to side track though as we have not been linked with him.

BLUE-TAC Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Just based on last nights game, one plyr stood out for me...Kolodin. Still young for a CB, great shot and puts his foot in, great marking too. Maybe if we could get him here we may have a chance with Arsh otherwise think he's got arsenal written all over him (esp if hleb goes).

I wanted us to look at Zhirkov last summer; he'd be a great addition to our midfield. Good ball skills, creative on attack, obviously a two-way player since they've been filling him in at LB, and has some size too. Don't know why we wouldn't be interested, unless we've already made a discreet inquiry and found out he either wants to stay in Russia or would be too expensive to sign.

saw Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 yrue that the papers havent said anything about Pavlyuchenko but i would defo sign him, he trys hard and runs alot rated 6 mil..... i would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raccyboy Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 surely no one thinks we have a realistic chance of signing arshavin??? think roman will take him to chelsea, he'll feel very at home there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Bryant Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 (edited) surely no one thinks we have a realistic chance of signing arshavin? Why not? were a promising team with a chance to push the top 4, playing in europe and also we have one thing the othes dont, we're his favourite team and we can promise him regular football unlike teams like chelsea where hell be sitting on the bench the only thing that will mean he moves is if he gets a lot more money than we can offer him.. but like David Villa said money isnt everything in football and i think other players are staring to relise this now Edited June 22, 2008 by Johnny Bryant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmurph Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Russia playmaker Andrei Arshavin has told Spanish newspaper AS he has had offers from clubs in England and Germany but admitted "what I really want is to play in the Spanish League, in the Primera Division." (Press Association, 1036 BST) Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has told Scolari to forget signing the Portugal midfielder as he is ready to sanction a £20m bid for Russian playmaker Andrei Arshavin.

Bill Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 we've made a huge mistake... I agree with chicago, 6 months ago he stated that he would like to play in the premier and specificaly mentioned Arteta as someone he would like to play alongside, if we had gone for him in january and done a pre contract jobbie with him to sign after the Zenit Cup final game he could have been ours BEFORE THE EURO CUP STARTED. 6 to 8 million was mentioned as a possible fee. Now i think we can forget him because the bigger clubs are coming in and his transfer fee has more than Doubled. Its typical of the Everton board to ponder over the transfer budget until all the good players have been snapped up, i can see David Moyes getting a bit fed up and moving on to another club, and who would blame him, it seems Everton are more concerned with getting a cheap stadium before sorting a team out good enough to play in it. As usual the supporters mean nothing and always come last in the importance to the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I think we're stretching it a bit if we think we're the only ones that were interested in him back in Jan...he did say (although this is obviously Babel Fish translation and so very unreliable)... “From a concrete proposal a foreign club. In the meantime, I speak literally,” there is interest, but offers no “. Many interested clubs from the English and Spanish championship. But if you ask, what would I choose, then everything will depend on the particular club . Priority is given a stronger team. “Everton” is quite suitable. Maybe I could prove it. I find it difficult to say where the better. In doing so, I do not think that in Spain worse. This is not the subject of life and of my emotions and desire. I want to come to a new team and play there. But to be one hundred percent sure, of course, can not, that will play. If I buy for big money, then of exactly will fall regularly. On the other hand, for small money I hardly sell “ Got to bear in mind that at the time Everton were the only possible interested party that he'd played against, and also that he was immensly grateful to us at the time because if our weakened team hadn't taken AZ's unbeaten home record then Zenit would have been out of the UEFA. Think he was bound to say nice things about us. I think if we'd gone in and tried to tie him up a lot of others would have followed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
