he played really well for Russia in a broadly similar position to the one he played in at Arsenal. Why he couldn't/wouldn't get anywhere near that level for the majority of the last 2 seasons, is very disappointing.
Your point about marquee signings should be a lesson to those that money is not everything.
Dimwits class any well known player with a big price tag as a Marquee signing just waiting for him to fail or not live up to the price tag. The point is any big club should be looking to sign established, well known & world class talent. If you want to call that a Marquee signing then thats your deal. I call it serious strengthening. If you go and buy a top of the range Mercedes to replace your 200,000 mile on the clock Ford and it goes wrong, you dont say "Oh that was a huge fail, Im never buying a world class car again .. and thats a lesson ... I'll stick to 2nd hand Fords". Only thicko's do that.
