he was benched yesterday too...is good move for him hope he impresses them and they by him next season ...next season we dont need him really coz thiago , gai , jonathan , sanchez , pedro would have gained enough expeience by then and would be ready for first team .!!!!!!
it should be bye bye to him ... he had skills but could not make it to first team ... even keita was far many times better than him both with attitude wise and on pitch!!!!!

BA Said,
there's no way to say it without being crude, so: GTFO HLEB. i hate that we're even paying a portion of your salary on loan.

Inter raped Barca in this entire deal...because they knew we had no other options than get this done.

Marc4barca Said,
anon sport only claimed they would pay 70%. i doubt barca even agreed to that. we would rather have kept hleb than loan him out.

Kevin O Said,
I think that there is a bit 2 much bashing of Hleb. Yes his transfer was not a good buy, but he is a world class winger who shone at arsenal (the reason we bought him)..
Can we give him some slack, instead of telling him 2 Gtfo?
