They still lack the steel to compliment the arshavins and nasris etc so those players will have to win the ball while also doing their own natural game . I think he would of been perfect for us due to us already having the ball winners enabling him to play to his natural game . I may of course be proved wrong but i cant see him doing well

Might as well broaden it out a bit to include Arsenal, and I can't help thinking that the celebrations of their demise are a bit premature mate, not from you but in general.
They led the Premiership for a long time last season (they made a much better fist of it in truth than we have this) and then lost a couple of first teamers in the Summer. They've then had pretty horrific injuries, and are now struggling to get intot he top four. My guess is though that they will, and that there won't be that much between them and us come the end of the season (around 5-6 points I think). Now they finished above us last season, and I think we'll do very well to finsih in front of them next season as long as Fabregas/Adebayor/Van Persie don't feck off. They've got by all accounts an unbeleiveable bunch of youngsters, and a fantastic manager (no digs at anyone here, just telling it exactly like it is based on records).
They ain't done yet I'm sure of it, despite spending a net of 4 million a year (once again I think) during Rafa's time as manager.

The kind of club he'd need to play in would probably operate with a lone, mobile, top class striker. He'd be asked to provide that creative spark, to drift around a bit and to be aware of a midfielder who is hopefully bombing in from behind. Can you think of any
Now Arshavin is fairly obviously an "in the hole" player, but I don't think it's quite as simple as him then dropping a bit deeper. To play "in the hole" there has to be a hole for you to drop into, and at the moent for them there isn't. An "in the hole" player would have difficult playing against us for instance, because the way we naturally defend there isn't one. Anybody who tried it without the rest of the team helping would find the only hole available was Masherano's pocket.
