...... I'd rather have him than Stewart Downing and Henderson !! My gosh, they really are poor players with seemingly no redeeming qualities
I saw a stat. Downing 19 appearances 0 goals 0 assists Chamberlain 12 appearances 4 goals 2 assists Shows you why buying this £20m 27 year old winger was a more sensible decision than buying a £15m 18 year old winger.
As for Henderson, he did show great potential at Sunderland. Remember him having an amazing game against Chelsea. You can understand that transfer to a certain extent.
Downing is absolutely awful. He stands there watching the game go by, he makes no runs, he doesn't help the defence, he plays with no passion or desire, how he made it pro is beyond me. Henderson doesn't look like a footballer at all, maybe its the Merseyside air/water that has messed him up, but he looks utterly clueless
Arshavin's not a bad player, you can't just turn into a bad player, it's all about effort and desire.
I remember when we were linked with Downing, nearly choked my cornflakes, especially when some gooners i knew thought it was a good idea. Henderson?? You have to ask yourself did he look like CL quality player because thats where liverpool wanted to be, never in my eyes. lol at arshavin's shorts, he's got a big azzzzzzz!
It's well documented that Arshavin is aghast at the amount of tax he pays in the UK, so this is his attempt to reduce his personal contribution by buying VAT free childrens clothes.
