"Arshavin's best position looks to be behind the striker now because that's where his vision, the creative side of his game, can be very efficient.
When he has to work on the flank it is sometimes working against him because he has to work too hard up and down. But when he's central he always had an influence on the game."
I say about time he realised!
Wenger on Arshavin

Well done Arsene, it's only taken you 3 years to figure that out

Makes our squad all the stronger, now we have him and Rosicky as Santi back up in that role.

He now needs to realise Gervinho's career is not in the sport of football, but swimming.

I can see Arshavin playing an important role when Cazorla get's the classic first-season one-month welcome to the Premier-League injury.

It seems like Arsene is sending Arshavin a message... Up your work rate and become a better player

He's 31/32 he ain't about to up his work rate now is he? Look at Berbatov for Fulham.

To be fair to Wenger he realised last season and played him central vs Bolton in the carling cup.
Also if I fully remember when we had striker injury crisis Arshavin played SS in his first full season.
So don't laugh at Wenger

Rosicky, I bet hes not gonna play this season because of injury. I swear if this happens, ship him out asap
