Sabre, I'm not sure you've watched much of Arshavin before he came here...basically, apart from not looking 100% match fit, he hasn't changed.
He is a bit of a luxury player, but one of the best luxury players in the World...before he came here he could work his arse off all game, and the next be almost totally anonymous and disinterested for most of the game...but even then, just like Henry used to frustrate at times,he could perform a few seconds of magic and the games changed.
...and, he just hasn't been playing that bad anyway, far from it...other defences are terrified of him, and his workrate yesterday was very good...he really isn't going to change much, Wenger has identified him as a player we need to fit the system, and I think he's right, and I think he does. Could very well find that his best "bio time" is February/March/April, or something.
Aside from all that, the guy is mustard anyway...I've wanted him at Arsenal for a few years now and to me, he's always looked like an Arsenal player.
