Arsenal boss defends Arshavin purchase

22 October 2011 - 07:12

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has defended the form of Andrey Arshavin, and backed the Russian to be an important member of the first team this year.

  • Chelsea handed big injury boost for Bayern clash
  • Fernandes unhappy with Man Utd role under Amorim

  • Arshavin impressed in last weekend's 2-1 win over Sunderland, and Wenger hit out at former Gunners' boss George Graham after he previously slated Arshavin signing for Arsenal.



    "You would not be surprised that I disagree with that," said Wenger.



    "I think he has been great for us and he will still be great in the coming months.



    "He is a great player and you have to give him credit for that. He stands up for his performances. I personally respect him highly and I think he's a great player."
