Hleb Completes Barca Switch

Well this is the story i’ve been longing to see. Finally we are going to see the back of that rat-faced git they call Hleb.

“Alexander Hleb has been officially presented as a Barcelona player following his move from Arsenal.

A deal with the Gunners had already been agreed, which was reported to be in the region of 15million euros (£11.9million).

The transfer has now been finalised and Hleb has put pen-to-paper on a four-year deal at Camp Nou.”

For more go here.

Now some may see this as Arsenal losing a quality player, but having already replaced him with a fantastic talent in Samir Nasri, all it means if we may now be in a position to make a bid for whoever Wenger deems fit.

Wenger said on Hlebs departure -

“We must firstly thank Alex for his contribution towards Arsenal Football Club during his time with us. Alex played a significant role in the three seasons he was with the Club. We are comfortable with our decision to let him go and we are all looking forward to continuing our preparations for the new season ahead.”

Goodbye Alexander, and although i drooled over your fancy footwork on more than one occasion, your incredible lack of goals won’t be missed here. There is a new kid on the block, and his name is Samir Nasri.
