i've been reading reports lately that his dream is to play for us....i hope Txiki and Pep are taking notice.....he will be a good replacement for sylvinho

 

[diegomessi]

would he be cheap? surely a russian team would not demand more than 11-14 mill... i think he would begood for barça

 

[Beast]

brilliant player.. i rate him highly.. he would do great in Barca or any team

 

[jairzinho]

he won't be cheap but a player of his caliber is hard to find these days...especially a good LB....they seem to be like endangered species...

 

[Esteve]

Barça will get him. It's Arshavin all over again. He's basically asking us to sign him. Then again, we didn't sign Arshavin. I'll keep telling myself it'll be different this time around.

 

[diegomessi]

i still do not understand how we did not get arshavin... why did his club not accept it was a good offer..

 

[VivaBarca]

Good player and wants to play for us. If we agree a fee he would be an excellant signing.

 

[Esteve]

Seeing as we're looking for another midfielder, to stand in for Xavi/Iniesta when needed, why didn't we make more of an effort for Arshavin?

 

[diegomessi]

agreed 100 percent

 

[BlaugranaGirl]

If we can get him for a non-exorbitant price, sign him up!

 

[Red Devil]

Russians dont adapt to other leagues very well usually Arshavin being the exception but they get very home sick they love there traditions and there food which is nasty by the way.

 

[diegomessi]

there is Russian restraunt in Barcelona he will be okay, spain weather > russian weather spain women = Russian women

 

[mlampa]

Really hope we get this guy, pure quality. And just pray he adapts well

 

[Myrmecophile]

I think he would be more suited to a team that plays 4-4-2 as he could play in two positions for them, whereas with Barcelona it would be a case of making him a permanent left back which isn't his natural position. Obviously, though, if he's signed I'm not going to complain.

 

[diegomessi]

i kind of think since dani alves coming up so much it might be better to have a left back that stays put more... like abidal.. i do not think we should stress to much over the left back spot.. abidal is capable
