Arsenal ace Arshavin: I will not hold back in interviews

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Wed, 02/17/2010 - 03:41

Andrey Arshavin stands by his comments made about Arsenal's season.

His recent comments that Arsenal could not win the title with him playing as a makeshift centre forward caused some to suggest such criticisms should not be aired in public.

"What is there to hide if everyone can see that this is the case?" questioned Arshavin, who has been used as an emergency spearhead because of the failure of Arsene Wenger to sign a stand-in for injured strikers Robin van Persie and Nicklas Bendtner.

"It is clear that putting me in the centre forward position makes life difficult. In particular, we are deprived of the option of playing long balls.

"A big striker can receive a long ball, but for me it is virtually impossible against powerful defenders.

"This gives the team fewer options, not only because of my size, but also because I don't have the skills to play in this position."

@Ivan
Totally agree with you .. Either he should give Vela chances or loan him out next season to other premiership teams ..!
Especially after seeing Eduardo of late am not sure he'll be back to his best .. So better to cash in on him and give those chances for Vela next season so that he can develop into a new Messi!!:) :)
