Yes, I have been so disappointed with our Russian's performances over the last 2 seasons or so, but I do feel that the main reason why hes been crap for us is becos wenger plays him on the wings, wasting away the potentials of playing him in his favoured 'playmaker' role.
Imo wenger needs to watch his performances carefully at the Euros (am pretty sure he'll play behind the striker(s) for Russia) and then look for ways to incorporate this into our team for next season. If,in the likelihood, Arshavin has a terrible Euros then sell him off, but if he does well (good link up play, helpping out defensively in the midfield, creating/scoring goals) then wenger MUST try him out as an attacking midfielder rather than spending money looking for a playmaker our team badly needs. Rather reinvest such funds in a new striker & DM.

Surely you should sell him if he has a good Euros, as you'll get more money for a player who has done little for the last 2 years?
Then you can go and use that money and buy someone who is actually good.

what's the point in going through the Arshavin thing all over again, his proved he cant really make it consistently playing the style we play in the Premier league.
let it go.

Wont make sense to me if Arshavin has a very good Euros and we then sell him, knowing that hes the type of player we need now (playmaker). Especially knowing (as InWengerWe Trust wisely noted) the stupid Board we have wont invest whatever money we get, which cant be that much seeing hes quite old.
