SPECULATION: Andrey Arshavin

[ZacNaloen]

I take it as a load of rubbish, Pog is on 40 at most

[Den-Rus]

Some Russian journalist on twitter is saying that he's turned down £65k a week from us as he wants parity with Pog....


Make of that what you will....

No, he wants a 80k, which he earns at Arsenal, not parity with Pog. But source of this information isn't very reliable.

[Royal91]

Anything on twitter is bollocks.

I only listen to sky sports news (When its confirmed in the yellow bar at the bottom)

The same bloke claims Pog is on 80k a week, yet Ady Williams says 60k.

So it's utterly made up sh*t then. Thanks for posting, your contribution is valued.

Would Arshavin even fit into a BM team?

I don't think he's suited to kick and rush, floaty hoof balls and shying away from the ball tactics.

[gazzer, loyal royal]

a big lol to anyone who thinks Pog is on over 40k a week. Him and Guthrie are on the same money.

i can see us paying 50% of Arshavins wages, with Arsenal covering the other 50% for the next 6 months until his contract runs down

[Gordons Cumming]

We need a player who battles.

He's not the man. Ask any Arsenal fan.

Shortly after we signed the Pog I heard that his wages were 65K a week.

We've got plenty of players that battle. Hasn't worked out too well this season. We need someone with that extra bit of quality, who can change a game.

Do we? How about a bit of creative quality to help us at the other end?

[Simon's Church]

lets hope they're right and arshavin is coming to reading! would be the best (late) christmas gift ever!

I dunno, I got given some lovely merino wool socks a couple of Januaries ago.

40k a week through England yes. See my previous posts regarding the suspicious nature of the Pog deal. He's probably after the same sort of sweetener. Wouldn't be surprised if he got it tbh.

Ady Williams thinks it's 60k, but he's probably going by the media speculation rather than what he's heard from the club.

[ZacNaloen]

Given some of what Aidy comes out with, I'm pretty sure there is no one in the club feeding him information. It's all man down the pub stuff.

He got a large signing on fee due to being a free agent

If Arshavin wants one of those he'll have to wait for his contract to run down.

Signing on fee/bung/dubious payments made to Russian bank accounts.. It's all the same. I'm sure Arshavin is simply after the same...

[Born 'n Bred Royal]

From the BBC website:

'ANDREY ARSHAVIN (aged 31, forward) Arsenal

Started brightly but his form has deteriorated dramatically. Fallen down the pecking order and has been restricted to substitute appearances.

May move back to his native Russia.'

No mention at all of Reading - although 'may move back to his native Russia' suggests they don't have a clue what may happen

[Lacoste]

The above is probably the most piontless post of all time, did you really need to quote the bbc to tell us all what we already knew?
