Arshavin, the next slave of European soccer

Boo hoo, poor Andrei Arshavin, he has a successful year for Zenit St. Petersburg and low and behold they actually want to hold him to the contract he signed. I know that this isn't the best writing that I've done, but I'm sorry what a load of crap. According to this article on Fox Sports, Arshavin's agent claims that he too is being treated like a slave because he can't move onto to the club of his choice in Western Europe. Well maybe he should have thought of that when he signed his contract! Zenit have every right to hold onto him and make him play for them if another club doesn't meet their evaluation of the worth of his contract. Why should they sell him? Ultimately, he probably will go because in reality who really wants to keep a player that doesn't want to play for you. Plus I'm sure the Zenit fans probably are sick of him because once he gets a bit of success then he instantly looks to move onto to another club. I can understand his desire to move on, but enough already with these rich crybabys claiming that they are slaves to their contracts. Read a little bit about slavery before you start using that word in the way that you are.
