Andrei Arshavin has signed for Arsenal. So after chasing this player for 224 days Arsenal have finally gOt their man. So after Zenit St Petersburg withdrew from the deal 32 times and Arsenal responded by lowering their fee every day; the deal still went through a full day after the deadline.
On Sky Sports it was announced that the FA will extend the deadline if both parties have emailed their agreed intentions by 5pm on deadline day. Reports (whoever they are) claim that both parties did not have an agreement by the deadline and therefore did not send in any emails. So what is going on? Is Arshavin an Arsenal player for real or will there be a Carlos Tevez lawsuit in the future if they overtake Aston Villa for 4th position? These questions need answers now and not some time next year as per normal with old farts at the FA headquarters.
I heard that Martin O’Neill will comment on the situation this evening. Does it really matter what he says? I can imagine that he will come up with some football cliché to show that the big teams might get preferential treatment (which is true) and that he can still finish fourth (I doubt he will say it, even if it is true) and that he will continue to let his football do the talking.
