It's happened folks.  angry

[size=15pt]Arsenal tell Zenit “Take it or leave it”[/size]

From our sources in Russia it appears as the deal to bring Andrey Arshavin to Arsenal has hit a wall over the transfer fee with both clubs refusing to back down over the price.

“Veniamin” Our inside man in Galernaya who works for Melodia Channel has told www.goonerforum.com that Arsenal made a 3rd offer on Sunday night,£13.5m plus a few performance add on bonus (if Arsenal win the league/Champions league within the next 3 years) that will take the overall Arsenal package to a total of £15m. This was rejected by Zenit as they want £16m plus all agents fees to be payed which would take the deal close to £19m.

However Zenit had told Arsenal that they would accept the Arsenal package “IF” they paid the agents fee of around £3m. Arsenal have so far refused to accept this and have basically said to Zenit, that’s was our final offer, “Take it or leave it”

Zenit have called Arsenals bluff and pulled the plug on talks and the Russian club are now in talks with 2 unnamed clubs. However they have made it clear to Arsenal they the door is open for them to come back in with more to the table and want this deal to be done ASAP!

With regards to the player. Well Arshavin had his heart on a move to Arsenal and was prepared to accept a wage cut to come to the club, However he has become frustrated that Arsenal are unwilling to pay the asking price for him and has now told his agent that he is willing to go to any club who are willing to pay the asking price as he is desperate to leave Zenit.


Seems the deal is off - Russians are notoriously difficult people to negotiate with, and making demands that we pay the stupid agent £3m is outrageous. Arsenal is very right to pull the plug on this deal.

The club wants the deal done 'ASAP' but keep making ridiculous demands. I've even heard that they are so rude and uncultured to delay returning faxes and phonecalls.

Screw Zenit and I hope their club stadium goes up in flames due to a gas explosion.  angry grin

You know the club has gone absolutely mad when even the greedy agent says their demands are unacceptable

"Definitely money is still the sticking point. I think Zenit is still asking for an unacceptable amount of money, they are still playing very tough."

I think Zenit's asking price for a player who is already peaked is outrageous.What do they take Arsenal for?Citeh?

Wenger should look else where please and get a player that's ontop of his game,cheaper,that can contribute in the UCL and EPL and will not experience a downturn in form in the next 2yrs.

Before anyone hang me and say didnt the scummies pay 30m for Berba,we must have it in mind Berba is tested and trusted in EPL. cool tongue

This is not WenGAY's fault. . . . . . .Zenit is playing cat-n-mouse with Arsenal because they know y'all fagz need Arshavin.
Besides, they are look at the prospects of Citeh signing Arshavin now that the Kaka deal has hit a brickwall.
They would hold out till the 31st of Jan(Berbatov-esque) and sell if no other club shows any interest in Arshavin.

I know it's not Wenger's fault, but if he had brought in a DMF now, most gooners wouldn't have elevated BP over Arshavin. tongue

This 31st January business will not work.

Wenger got burned in the summer waiting till the last day to get Xabi for £13m. . . . and we all know what happened. The current situation is that Arsenal have a deadline of 26tha - if there is no deal after that, we will pursue our other targets. Silly Russians can keep their unhappy player if that happens. They will not make silly money off Arsenal FC.

That said, people are paying ridiculous transfer fees these days - Palacios going for £14m?? Someone bought for £1m only a season ago? How much would Downing cost in that case? £20m?? undecided

The world has gone mad - Totts are spending like no tomorrow, but they'll still finish in the bottom half. tongue

Even sagna, Never really heard of him before Arsenal when he was in Auxerre. Today, he is one of the Best and Most consistent Right backs in the Game

And Barcelona releasing Fabregas to us?

RVP cost £4 Million. Compare that to the amount paid for Drogba,Berbatov and Darren Bent.

Zenit's manager(privates Advocaat) is a shrewd businessman.
He would wait till the last minute before he gives in.
Letz face it, Arsenal need Arshavin more than Zenit.
Y'all tight-fisted twits should pay and save frail-hearts like Muki and A-40 before u send em to their early graves.

He would get burnt again if he doesn't face reality and buy what he needs to buy.
Chelsea started the same way with Robinho until Citeh hi-jacked the deal.
Berbatov was supposed to be £25 milla, Citeh bumped the price to £31 milla. cheesy cheesy


That said, people are paying ridiculous transfer fees these days .

Debosky, smell the coffee.
The GB Pounds has crashed and at par with the Euros.
6 months ago. . . . . .£10 million = 15 million Euros.  Today, £15 milla = 15 milla Euros.
Don't blame Zenit. . . . .Blame the current climate.

Mourinho has NOT shown interest in any creative player, so that point is a daft, idiotic and irrelevant one. Did JM express interest in Hamsik, Diego and the other cats you were screaming about? NO.

The fact that 'other clubs' are not interested is completely irrelevant. How many of the top clubs are buying or selling? Has Juve bought? Has Inter bought ANYONE? Has Milan bought? Has Barca bought? Has Chelsea or Liverpool bought anyone? Has even the rubbish club Bayern bought? Has Lyon or L'OM bought anyone?

Major clubs are tightening up. . . . . .Only bottom sides are rushing to get players as we speak.
I doubt Fergie will buy in the coming summer as well.

As far as i know, all these guys with right nuturing can be as good as Arshavin if not Better. Gourcuff is on loan at Bordeaux from Milan and the Guy is one hell of a Player. Stephen Ireland is also Okay. And Most of this Guys have the Anelka factor-Meaning we can sell them for a huge profit Later if they live up to expectations.

Having said that, I believe Arshavin will Sign and he will wear the Number 13 Jersey. Believe that cos Vicade said so. wink

GAYnners, stop being stingy twits.

What Zenit is asking for(15 million Euros) was £10 milla, 6 months ago.
Is it their fault that GB pounds crashed against the Euros??

@Edoyad,
How old was vieira, henry and Kanu when you bought them? 27?

Debo,
Gone were tose days of wasteful spending in Europe. Now its the EPL's turn and they are spending brainlessly.
or how does anyone explain Robinho for 32m?
Bent, DoS Santos, Modric, Berbatov, SWP, Reyes, Francis Jeffers, Sheva

According to Italian newspaper Tuttosport, Inter Milan plan on bidding for Slovakia and Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik (21) in the summer. Inter Milan's strategy is to loan their Brazilian winger Amantino Mancini (28) to Napoli in January and later pay 40 million Euros for Hamsik in June.
http://www.transfermarketweb.com/?action=read&idsel=29802

According to Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, Inter coach José Mourinho has not given up hope of bringing Marek Hamsik to the Stadio San Siro
http://article.wn.com/view/2009/01/08/Inter_On_Napoli_s_Back_For_Hamsik_Reports/

In order to optimise this tactical switch, Mourinho has requested Diego from Werder Bremen as he can take up the role of the trequartista and use his creativity and flair to create opportunities for the attackers and even score goals himself.

Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by debosky(m): 7:58pm On Jan 21, 2009
Jeffers was 9m, what is the big deal in that? Reyes came and won the FA cup at Arsenal, was sold and we recouped part of our investment.

Real Madrid still remains, even today, the most wasteful club around.

Those same rumour carrying spreads claim Inter was also interested in Arshavin, so what are you proving?

Andrei Arshavin's agent, Dennis Lachter, has revealed he met with both Juventus and Inter regarding his client, but the moves both stalled.

Eduardo showed some Lovely Touches,Played 90 Minutes and scored but he was offside and Randall is a useless Player.

Sky Sports News say that Tomorrow is the D-Day in the Arshavin Saga. According to Sky Sports News, Zenit wants 18 million,Arsenal offering 12 million. Zenit say they want to sell, Zenit says Arshavin wants to play for Arsenal, Zenit says they are only Talking to Arsenal.

However, there are speculations that if the deal falls through,Man city and Inter Milan could show Interest. Arsenal has also given a dealine date of 26th of January for this Arshavin Saga.

All these are according to Sky Sports News-Who I must Say are quite credible
