Well, the great news, Arsenal, is that it isn’t your football that is making Hleb want to leave you - no, he loves the style of play - it’s your city, your home, your people. They’re the problem.
Like most agents, the man who does all of Hleb’s talking (Nikolai Shpilevski) doesn’t like to put words in anyones mouth, but still chose to air exactly what is going on in the busy mind of the bendy-legged Arsenal man, at least as far as he can tell.
“Alexander is just tired of the noisy and chaotic life in the British capital and feels like living in calmer surroundings,” he sighed, “if any clubs want to add Hleb to their ranks they should talk to Arsenal.”
So where to Hleb, somewhere dreamy and placid like the boisterous city of Barcelona? Or how about unwinding amongst the soothing people of riotous Milan?
Way to upset a great foreign player, Londoners!

If it’s peace and quiet he’s after, can’t he be provided with an apartment at the Emirates Stadium?

And he is linked most of all with Milan… Nice one!!! Why doesn’t he do what all other footballers do… buy a massive house somewhere in the quieter places around london and get a helicopter to take him to the ground?? Not like he couldn’t afford it is it, but then again if he did want to move to a place in the quieter parts then he would no doubt suddenly want to be “paid what he is worth” and start demanding £100K plus a week, as if the £50k or so that he is on now isn’t enough!!! People who talk about we can’t have a wage cap etc make me laugh… Players ‘getting paid what they are worth’ so them earning more in one week than most people in the world do ina year isn’t enough?! Sorry went on a bit of a rant there!

They train in London Colney which is Hertforshire. How many quiet places are around there for him to have his “peace”. Aldenham, Esltree, Radlett.

this is cobblers. We used to have to put up with this cobblers from Vieira’s agent, Marc Roger, until he saw sense and told him to do one. Hleb, I think, lives in poxy Hampstead, hardly bustling central London. He hasn’t said anything about wanting to stay and seems to prefer put his hand up his agent’s bum and let him speak on his behalf, so he can **** off and play for some other club, dribbling and vision notwithstanding.

If he’s so happy there then send Hleb back to Stuttgart as part of a deal to bring in Mario Gomez!

Leicester City should be cozy and quiet for the emaciated borscht eater.
