The remarks will put some of Europe's biggest clubs on alert including Barcelona and Inter and Barcelona - who were both interested in signing Arshavin after his dazzling displays at Euro 2008. However, Arshavin’s long-term representative, who helped grease the wheels of the Russian’s £17 million move to Arsenal 15 months ago, chided his client for speaking so openly of his desire to play for European champions Barcelona.
“I know Andrey is never thinking twice before opening his mouth,” said Lachter. “But by the rules of democracy, anybody can say whatever they want and there is some kind of disappointment especially from Andrey because of his injuries and frustration at the results of the club this season.”
Lachter continued, “It is not a secret for anybody that he has a big respect for Barcelona and it’s not a secret for anybody that I agreed the move from Zenit to Barcelona for 15 million euros six months before his move to Arsenal. I know Andrey would like to play there but he is a player for Arsenal and will be until further discussions.”
Lachter also claimed that Arshavin should take complete responsibility for a campaign that promised so much for player and club before both ended trophy-less. He observed: “It is totally unfair to blame your team-mates. In the eyes of each one of us you need to do the best for your company or your team. “You shouldn’t be prostituting yourself or changing your mind because you don’t like what is happening today.”
