He's got unbelievable feet and is very creative.

He wanted first team football right away so he could get into the French squad for the Euros. He wanted to go, we wanted him to stay. Shame, he's decent.

How am I acting like he carried the team? I said I didn't want to lose him. Thats not the same thing now is it? He's better than run of the mill and would walk into the majority of sides no problem, lets face facts here, if he showed up at Shite Heart Lane you lot would be calling him the best in the world.

To be honest, i really couldn't care to see Hleb go, as long as Nasri comes in. His inability to shoot and buckle under pressure at key moments is something incredibly frustrating to watch...Remember in the first leg of the quarter final vs. Liverpool, it was argued that Hleb was fouled in the area by Kuyt? He was in a perfect position to shoot there and if he had done, may have scored and they wouldn't have had the whole issue. And no i'm not blaming a champions league loss on him, i'm just using this as an example.

Hleb is a good player just his reluctance to shoot (which is borderline embarassing at times, he generally seems afraid) and his tendency to dwell on the ball for too long hold him back. Still it will be a huge blow for Arsenal as I think Nasri will take a year or two to become fully accustomed to the Arsenal way of playing.

I think the irony of it all is that when Hleb is has shot with confidence, he has scored for Arsenal. In the beginning of the year, Hleb had multiple late goals that gave Arsenal victories. As the season went on, he seemed to get less confident.

Miroslav Klose, Luca Toni, Franck Ribery, Lukas Podolski, Hamit Altintop, Michael Rensing, Diego, Markus Rosenborg, Halil Altintop, Ze Roberto, and Tranquillo Barnetta are pussies then? You cannot have ever seen any game involving any Bundesliga teams then.

Apart from Rensing, yes they are all pansies. They hardly measure up to john Terry or Stevie G in the grit and detemination department do they?

Robinho won't survive in the EPL, he is way to small for that league IMO
