In the immortal words of George W Bush "we got him" obviously bush was speaking about a human rights violating naughty man, I am hoping Arshavin is going to violate some defenses.
My sources are a bit touchy but apparently it was for £15m (the top of the bracket but not over). I hope the fee is performance related but this is unlikely considering how hard the Zenith boys pushed.
There are questions regarding when he will arrive but given that he is in the UAE it would be unlikely that he will be playing in Cardiff on Sunday. There are then questions over his fitness since he has not been playing matches for a while.
Although I am largely undecided on whether I am happy about this news it is definitely a good thing for Arsenal FC.
To put things into context, Spurs have bought a WIGAN winger for £3 less than we spending on the apparent star of Euro 2008!
What do you all think about the deal?

We need him, but he wont win us a title. this is a signing that has to happen and he is now no more then a squad member we still need another 2 signing's come on wegner get the cheque book out
That's it! We don't NEED anyone else. Sure we won't mind someone, but really, the way this team has been built from the bottom up, it's not easy for someone to just slot it.
Arshavin fit the bill, and their was space in the team for him (Eboue).
Song, regardless what you naysayers(read glory hunting non-fans) think is good, and worth his place in the team.
waste of money
i was hoping he would buy out his contract so we could get him on the cheap
id be happy with that
but 15m for arshavin is a huuuge risk
far too big imo
hes a great player, really great, *on his day* but theres serious question marks over a season
if we have got him i just hope it works out
I really don't understand why people think he won't be able to last a season and only lasts a few games, did he not play a BIG part in Zenit winning the UEFA cup, russian cup AND beating man u in the super cup
i think that hes a good signing. a little too expensive, but i think he'll fit in really well at arsenal. arsene doesn't float that kind of money without a reason, have faith ;)
Very important signing, you will see how good, excellent.
