Scottish Mag 3 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Andrei Arshavin admits he would be interested in joining Newcastle, should Sam Allardyce come calling in the January transfer window. The talented 26-year-old was part of the Zenit St Petersburg team defeated by Everton on Wednesday night, a game which could prove to be his final appearance for his home-town club. As England will testify, the Russian schemer is certainly a gifted performer and it would appear he is now ready to ply his trade in the Premier League. Newcastle have been credited as being long-term admirers and Arshavin's signature would likely sate a St James' Park crowd that craves entertainment. Arshavin concedes that he is flattered by talk of Newcastle's interest. "Of course I would like to play in England," he told the Daily Mirror. "In Russia as well as England they are talking about Newcastle being interested in me and there has been no concrete offer. "In principle if they made an offer I would be interested."

Fop 1 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Good news, sure people said he played well against england. The problem is that could be said about a lot of players recently, although that's not necessarily because they have been great. We need someone that is though.

Happy Face 29 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Is this a joke? Arse Having? What kind of name is that? And we'll be getting "Virgin" plastered all over our shirts. This country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano 0 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Would be a great signing for us though i think a player of his quality would attract interest from better standing clubs than ourselves in the current climate. The fact he's openly said he's interested in somewhat of an incouraging bonus though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinofbeans 93 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 proper footballer tbh. can pass the ball better than anyone i've seen in a toon shirt this season ( irealise that isn't necessarily difficult). worth a punt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1839 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 We're crying out for someone who can play a killer ball (when was the last time we looked like splitting a defence?) and while I haven't seen this guy play he seems like exactly the type of player we need.

Dr Gloom 26385 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 doesn't sound like a big sam type tbh. that said he did bring okacha and djorkaeff to bolton so here's hoping. god knows we could do with a flair player or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Patrokles Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 If it's true that (and Sam suggested it is) we were after Elano, then this is a plausible link. Another creative midfielder playing in Eastern Europe. If we'd scouted Elano, I daresay we're looking into that area of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
