Arshavin Seals Arsenal Move

[Minstrels]

I don't understand why this deal was allowed to go through when he was in London yesterday morning.

And Sock, please give it up. Your having ago at a City player for playing two games? Who scored on his debut? The WINNING goal? The goal which got us three points which we needed? A player who is used to life in the premiership who we wont risk needing weeks to settle in? We need goals now so we got Bellamy. :rolleyes:

Wish he was here for the game at NP.

All the paperwork was submitted before 5pm yesterday. The paperwork wasn't officially checked until today.

& Finally we got him Hopefully he'll make a big difference.

Not really.

If your going to tell people to give up then give up being a complete ass and trying to prove everyone wrong, you never acutally post nicely anymore your just arrogant all the time now. The reason why it was delayed has been posted above me so i dont need to repeat and Bellamy isnt exactly worth 13.5 million pounds, he is hardly the worlds best striker nor is he a prolific goal scorer. He scored on his debut, woopydoo, so what if it was one goal or the winning goal makes no difference to him being worth about £2.

Unlucky Zenit. Wanted more money, Arsenal refused so they made the transfer public but it failed ol:

[Throne Sofa]

The FA didn't. All paperwork was submitted before 5PM. Nice accusations though.

Then how come Zenit, in their statement, claimed it went through in "Extra time"? - What the **** does that mean? Wonder what would have happened if it had went to penalty's? :rolleyes:

The flexiability was only allowed if the two clubs could prove adverse weather conditions effected the deal, yet Arshavin was all ready in London from the day before. The amount of time both clubs took to confirm the deal is as suspicious as well. If all the paperwork went in before 5PM, then how come it couldn't be released a few hours later like Quaresma, Keane and Chopra?

[Geraint]

Spurs fans getting jealous already?

Yes really... Zenit were still demanding more money yesterday, hardly an agreed fee.

And at I hardly think the worlds finest will join our club in January, the only players which would come would be Premiership players who had something to prove, something to inspire them. Bellamy, Bridge and De Jong are all grafters, this is what Hughes wanted. He wanted players which would bust a gut if we were losing, as proved against Stoke.

From what I've heard, you are right about the flexibility being due to the extreme weather conditions. According to Sky Sports News, although Arshavin was in London. He was only in London looking for places to live, as he was confident that the deal would go through. His agent and Zenits club representative weren't in London, and couldn't make it to London because of the weather. This is why ALL transfers were allowed to be made of Tuesday, if approved by the FA.

But as said by someone before. The original paperwork must be have drawn up and ready before 5pm Monday. Due to the unforseen circumstances, the FA decided to look at each transfer individually, and decided which transfers had progressed enough by the original transfer deadline. If they had, they allowed the transfer go through the next day.

Theres been no complaints from rival teams, so I dont see a problem. Im a united fan, and don't care that they've signed him after the deadline. Arsenal are still going to finish below Villa, and not make Champions League Football

I hope this cleared some of it up. Still sounds slightly dodgy. But its happened, and cant be undone. So who really cares. Lmao

There was one guy at the FA registration office yesterday. I think he had a home to go to. I don't know but I just THINK he might. He left work until the next day, checked over everything - times/contracts/visas etc thoroughly due to it being .

Put it this way, you're wrong.
