Arsenal HAD one advantage while Milan and City were engaged in discussion, we were the only club formally bidding for Arshavin's services. It seemed a solid fit, his stature and skill fit into Wenger's, but his demeanor has not been one that I would associate with an Arsenal player. He threatened to buy out the remainder of his contract this summer and leave on a free.
Is this a player Arsenal want?
There have been many that have questioned Wenger's moves in the past, but I for one, trust him more than myself when it comes to spotting talent and assessing personality.
Arshavin would fit in with the players at Arsenal, but not his wage demands. This is why he will go to City instead of being unveiled at the Emirates in a few days time. He wants money and is not concerned with who he plays for, but that he gets out of Russia.
