Andrey Arshavin, “We had hoped for more, so we can’t be satisfied with third”

Submitted by Renzo on April 23, 2010 – 3:00 7 Comments

When you set an objective which at the end of the season you fail to achieve you simply cannot be satisfied when the season draws to a close.

Arsenal midfielder Andrey Arshavin admitted the Gunners cannot be happy with third place, for the very simply reason that at the start of the season they were hoping for more. The midfielder also added how there clearly is a problem which needs to be solved ahead of next season.

Arshavin, 28, also said how he will surely miss this Saturday’s game at the Emirates against Manchester City, but hopes to be back for the final two games of the season against Blackburn, away from home and Fulham.

The Russian said:

We had hoped for more, so we can’t be satisfied with third. I can only say that next season we must try to solve this problem. It exists, so therefore something must be done.

The latest information says I should fully recover within a week, so on Saturday I won’t be able to play.

I hope to be involved in the remaining matches of the season against Blackburn and Fulham.

    It is true arshavin, the way things have changed is amiracle.That is why arsenal should have enough players for each number to avoid injuries as an excuse in case we miss a trophy. I think wenger has learnt something, he will change next season.

  • Lano says:

    Arshavin always has negative things to say he must just leave if his not happy simple as that i know wenger will hav a replacement in the pipeline he always has, this club is growing rapidly every season and will soon win the league that is why aresenal fans are so passionate about this club because we have seen these players grow from nothing to something

    • Chris says:

      Seriously Lano, what is so “negative” in someone saying our objective was to win the title?

      You would have rather preferred him to say, “We are so happy with third place, that is just what we fought for throughout the season”?

    • Jason says:

      Arshavin may be negative with current squad as he always ask for addition. But its good in the sense that he always set high goals. He is never satisfy with current situation, 3rd place. He is eager to achieve more!!

      Thats what we fans are on too. We want to see trophys….
      But no doubt, Arshavin has pointed out many things which I will agree it too.
      He is negative in some sense, but addition to the squad will certainly be good for the team.

      Lano! You are funny guy! Wow!

    • nick says:

      yes he has negative things to say but its just setting the highest targets for the team

  • FREDDY KOIGI says:

    Fans are allowed to believe its over, But for Heavens sake, Who said Chelsea can’t loose to Stoke & Liverpool, Who said Man U can’t loose to Wigan and Draw at Sunderland.

    WHY IS ARSENAL LOOSING HOPE BEFORE THE LAST GAME?. DIDN’T WENGER PROMISE TO FIGHT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE??. Until Chelsea or Whoever is 6 Point ahead with 1 game to go. Players should be alive!!!!!!.

    Why are we even talking about next season, isn’t it still mathematically possible?

    And before you all say it, I am being realistic. Just as I was pessimistic when Robin Van Persie went missing in the starting line up against Wigan.
