So maybe he has just been keeping quiet, refusing to have to tell everyone he loves the club and will never leave anytime soon all time ala Adebayor

Alexander Hleb a key player this season who undeniably has put in some truly wonderful performances. Come the end of another trophyless season and various quotes that hleb wants to leave arsenal because he doesn’t like living in a big city lead to him being linked to various clubs around Europe themselves situated in big cities. Brilliant! One of our best performers is off in one of the most hypocritical moves in football history. I like many of you almost immediately thought fine he doesn’t want to stay, he can go, he can dribble with the best of them but couldn’t score in a brothel. Lets get a decent price and get us someone else.

And so with many of us resigned to him leaving we begin to lap up the hundreds of stories of the ben arfa’s and nasri’s to be signed soon, as we imagine someone finally filling the scoring midfield holes left by bobby and freddy. Staring blankly at goonernews constantly hitting refresh waiting for an actual confirmation of someone signed but just seeing gossip.

Nasri 99%?
Nasri not quite done yet?
Nasri ever guna happen?

Someone to fill the flamini void plus cash to spend on our new GOALSCORING midfielder (Nasri????!!) thanks Barca it’s a deal!…or is it.

What if hleb really is going nowhere? What if nasri aint a done deal cos hleb aint a done deal to anywhere else and aint guna be?

He more recently has been quoted as saying all this talk is nonsense.

“I have also read [that I have said I want to leave], but I do not know who has written it. That is nonsense.
“I have also read that I wanted to move because Arsenal would win nothing, this too is nonsense.
“But I would really not like to comment on the issue really because there is nothing more to say, because the club means so much to me.
“I have learned so much from Arsene Wenger. This man has always supported me and given me the chance to come to Arsenal. I would therefore never say anything negative about Arsenal.

So maybe he has just been keeping quiet, refusing to have to tell everyone he loves the club and will never leave anytime soon all time ala Adebayor. A stupid decision yes but hey if you were a footballer wouldn’t you sometimes think ‘oh just let them say I’m going here there and everywhere I aint got time to keep reaffirming my loyalty’ or is the hlebster just keeping quiet waiting for that special non big city club? He also said ‘If I’ll go, then only in a different league, in any case, in England, there is only Arsenal for me.” Could he be on his way to a quiet european village teams first eleven until he is driven out of town by the villagers gone mad by his possession skills which have resulted in four seasons of 0-0 draws for the village side. How do us gooners feel about Hleb actually staying now we’ve all fantasized about the replacements and the football we would/could play without him? I personally believe that it would be better if Hleb left as although maybe it has just been the tabloids stirring things up it does feel as if things arn’t quite right and the idea of having a replacement who can bag us some goals really would be a great great thing. But still we might have to begin to face the prospect that he might still be with us next season which a couple of months ago would of sounded great but now I think would feel a little disappointing.

Not as disappointing as the almost certain prospect of Eboue fumbling around on the wing again mind.
