If Arsenal really want to stay in the top four, keep in the title race and win the FA cup then they need to keep Arshavin and give him a new contract. Many will have looked at his performance on Monday night against Leeds united and thought what a disappointing performance from a tired Old Russian, but I didn’t, I saw an energetic Russian that was trying desperately to find some form through hard work and a shot at goal.
Funny enough my friend (a leeds fan) called me up to complain about the complete disgrace that Henry was awarded man of the match against Leeds and complained that it should have gone to Arshavin which I agreed with. Yes he did miss chance’s , yes he did give the ball away, however he destroyed there left back on numerous occasions, cutting inside and leaving him for dead. Even with a lack of confidence, he did not hide, he hit shot after shot after shot and even managed to pull a sublime volley out the bag that just sailed wide, which Pundits then slated him for asking why he didn’t put in a cross. But Arshavin can do a Berbatov this season ignore the fans and become the class act he always was.
I remember a few years ago Arsharvin came to the premiership after impressing in the euros with some sparkling displays against the world’s top teams. He moved to Arsenal in the January transfer window and saved Arsenals season. It may have taken him a while to score his first goal, but what a beauty taking on two Blackburn defenders before faking a cross and firing cool past Robinson.
But one Arshavin moment that we will never forget will be against Liverpool when he scored four spectacular goals at anfield, showing once and for all that Arshavin has arrived.
But a lack of form and constantly playing from the bench has made Arshavin hit a slump and has been criticized by the clubs fans for a lack of effort and for producing nothing on the pitch. But I urge arsenal fans to be patient and wait for the real Arshavin to produce, after all Arsenal had three great creative players last season, Nasri , Fabregas and Arshavin and for me he is the only one in the arsenal team, that can play that eye of a needle pass and feed are new number 12. Arshavin is the last of the great creators and should be treated as one.

I would love Arshavin to stay and start scoring a few more goals, perhaps Wenger should play him in a different position and perhaps drop Walcott.
Drop Walcott, sell him.
All he has is pace and a big mouth, he should try
cricket like his grandpa, except fast bowling would scare him to death.
He is the best example I’ve ever known to fit the description “went missing”
No positional sense, no idea of what to do as best for position he is in,no strength to make use of his pace,no tricks at all. Never wins the ball back.
Has Arsenal really got no other wingers with more protential?
Arshavin and Djourou should be sold yes they dont bring anything to the club i was really angry when i see this two player on the pitch yesterday i no when Djourou pls every team will like to push true were Djourou is becos he dont no anything about the game he dont ready the game let Djourou and Arshavin live wenger
