What the HELL is Alexander Hleb trying to do to Arsenal!
by Mr Comfort on July 20th, 2008As Alex gets settled in at his new home and his massive new salary he still finds time to insult his former employers with a comment that will surely anger Arsenal and their fans!
Belarus international Alexander Hleb is ready to incur the wrath of Wenger again as he attempts to lure Fabregas back to the side he left five years ago.
“Cesc Fabregas explained a lot of things to me about this club,” Hleb told Barca TV. “His time in the academy with players like (Gerard) Pique, (Lionel) Messi and so on.
“He loves this club. Now he’s at Arsenal, but who knows if in the future he’ll come back to Barca? (football365.com)
Why, why why? I don’t get it? Footballers can’t be this dumb or this vindictive. Sure he may have been coerced into making such a statement but he could just have easily have said “Cesc is happy at Arsenal so don’t ask me leading questions about him!”
What do Arsenal fans think about these comments made by a former favourite?

Some times i just don’t get footballers, they live in their own little world. If Hleb has said this, and i have read it all over the place, then you have to wonder just how little respect he has for the club that put him on the footballing map! Alex your a mug!
Ryan-Adam - July 20th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
Well said Nathan…What a dick!
Y he go to barca, is he even going to get a first team place?!
Bryan - July 20th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
Couldn’t agree more Nathan, why is there so little respect in the game today?
Mike - July 20th, 2008 at 4:00 pm

aSEB - July 20th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
HE ACKNOWLEDGED CESC IS THE BEST… THAT IS WHY HE WANTED CESC TO BE THERE TO WIN SOME TITLE AS HE KNOWS WHAT CESC IS CAPABLE OF.. BUT HLEB PLEASE DREAM ON AS CESC WILL BE ARSENAL GREATEST AND ARSENAL CAPTAIN…. NO WAY HE WILL LEAVE US…. HE AINT YOU…

All you gooners only saw the one side of this story. The question is, “Do you really know what goes on behind close doors between Hleb and Arsene and the club?” The answer would be a definite NO. So, instead of mouthing off in such an intellectual way, have a think about the reason? I’m pretty sure no one player wants a whole army of fans going against you no matter if you’re still at the club or not, well, unless your name is C. Ronaldo then okay. Like potter said…
gOONER - July 20th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
HOPE HENRY KICKS HIM IN HIS NUTS REALLY HARD.
AvP - July 20th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
He forgets Henry hates him
joey - July 20th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
what an a class Cunt hlebs turned out to be, after all we did for him. go win fuck all at barca u spoilt MUG
Lord Arsenal - July 20th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
Hleb is a bitter cry baby that Arsene gave everyone who complained a new contract but told Hleb to eff off.’
goonermind - July 20th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
hleb is a wanker
king gooner - July 20th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
lets not forget where the story emanates from chaps”barca”-& regurgitated by those manure loving ba****trds at the “daily mail”-enough said-don’t get taken in by them pleeeeeas!
CGooner - July 20th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
I’d score more goals than Hleb, an un co-ordinated blind man in a wheel-chair would score more goals for the club with fabregas an co putting it on a plate to finish. Another thing…..get Adebayor out of our club, no places for money-grabbing c**ts like him!
Chris - July 20th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Hleb didnt say this, he was in italy for ice-cream when this was suposedly said! haha! what a dickhead!
Nemo - July 20th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
Anonymous, shut yer hole, inbred closet Barcacunta supporting scum. Hleb was clearly in discomfort because being a typical barca puppet, he was suffering from LaPorta’s fist up his bum operating his vocal chords. Of course it is written in to his contract that he must tap up all players bastardolona are interested in, so he was only doing his new thieving sly fox masters’ bidding. Hleb can ply his Willem Dafoe lookalike business in Catalunya and see how many extra Euros it earns him. Maybe he will get a decent haircut, not the Hampstead chav style he’s sported for the last three years. Yes, he lived in Hampstead, which is about as far removed from the helterskelter of London you can get. I hear Barstardolona is quiet, especially since Franco’s Puta Facistas Real Puta Madrid bought La Liga, so you can get some peace, Aleksandrovich., you c***.
Antoine Roquentin - July 20th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
Actually, the main culprit is, as usual, the press. They try to make something out of nothing. Read Hleb’s words carefully. He just says “who knows” which is actually rather innocuous.
Still, I have to agree with most of you that Hleb is an IDIOT. He should have known how his words would be interpreted given the circumstances. He is also an idiot for thinking that playing for Barca will necessarily win him more throphys than playing for Arsenal. Real Madrid is still far and away the best team in Spain, and Barca are not more likely to win the CL than Arsenal. Hleb is just another ex-Arsenal player who will find that life abroad is not as rosy as he had hoped for. Even the King himself, Henry, have learnt that by now.
Good riddance to Hleb. Fabregas will stay, so there is no reason to panic.

one side of story, two side of story… as far as i m concerned, if he kept his mouth shut there wouldn’t be any side of story. and we much perfer it this way.
Russ - July 20th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
If Helb really said this then he is a complete cock. It’s not as if he lost his place in the side or was treated badly by Arsenal. He was under contract and left the club at his own free will. Lets see how mouthy he is in a years time when he’s on the bench or reduced to a squad player after Barce realise he’s just a dribbler with absolutely no end product.
Thomas - July 20th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
Hleb is a despicable cunt. It’s generally accepted now that footballers are mercenaries with no loyalty or sentimental attachment to their clubs whatsoever (all that insincere badge-kissing mendacity really should be outlawed), however even mercenaries behave with more dignity and respect than he has shown. And it’s not just the ignoble Hleb. It would be reasonable to assume that 80% of professional footballers are just as vain, venal, vapid, vulpine, and vicious as he. Well, they can get this valedictory v-sign from me: V….
omar - July 20th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
he was never a fan favourite anyway…. it’s not like any1 will remember him in 3 years. who cares what he does or sais from now on, let him go to hell, he means nothing to arsenal fans
Big Gadge - July 20th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
I hope we meet Barca in the CL at some point and we give him the reception he deserves. TH14 would never come out with anything like that and even though he never got on with Pleb if he did say these things i’m sure something would of been said by the great man. He probably doesn’t realise we are just as big a club than Barca due to the fact they have always wanted our players. So Pleb just go quietly and when we meet Barca at some stage let there football do the talking while you sit in the comfort of the dugout.
Doublegooner - July 20th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
Hleb the bottled it for 3 yrs in the PL. Totally overrated & spineless. Fuck off you little weasel.
Anonymous - July 20th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
Hleb, i used to respect the guy, but the way he’s been goin on is dumb! I thought it was all his agent….no respect for him nomore!
He just used us to get to a bigger club! Twat!
Samsagoona - July 20th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
What a prick…At least when henry left he said his goodbyes! even flamini said great things about us after he left, and lehman and gilberto both gave there farewell messages aswell… what did hleb do? nothing.. just say how happy he is 2 join a ” World Class Club “… shows a lack of respect for arsenal and in that quote we must not b world class? even though we play much better football than barca.. just because we dnt throw around money were not a world class team? we might of won something if hleb scored more than 7 goals in 3 years! Nasri will score more in his first year ! sod off hleb.. trying 2 unsettle arsenal players… fabregas is younger than you and has a much better future.. he understands loyalty.. and will remain at arsenal 4 the rest of his career… i loved hleb b4 he left… unsetlled by london life…He actually goes on like barcelona is a country get a way? lol what an idiot.. hope he gets the sub treatment just like every star that thinks there bigger than barca..
Simon - July 21st, 2008 at 5:45 am
He obviously misses Arsenal a bit, if he cant stop thinking about us.
We´ve forgotten u Hleb so forget us!
Powelly - July 21st, 2008 at 7:10 am
Hleb should shut his mouth. He’s a loser and should not try to unsettle players. Isn’t this an illegal approach that UEFA are meant to stamp down on? Guess that twat Platini won’t bother though because it’s an English club that it’s being done against.
highbury1 - July 21st, 2008 at 7:27 am
Hleb… may you rot in barca. I pray more for you may your legs get broken by someone there and real miserable life with more noise around you wherever you are now!! You bloody idiot scum and i hope your lips swell whenever you kiss that barca’s crest on your jersey!! traitor!!!!!!!!!!!!
Powelly - July 21st, 2008 at 7:50 am
He talks how he plays……….SHIT!!
Erik - July 21st, 2008 at 7:55 am
The guilty and stupid one here is not Hleb, is a lot of the Arsenal fans.
It is well known how Fabregas feels about Barcelona and even he has said in the past that he will eventually like to return there… but not now as Arsenal are so important to him and Wenger is like a dad.
Now, Hleb comes out and says something YOU SHOULD ALL ALREADY KNOW and yet you read a high number of posts saying that Hleb is an idiot for saying that… erm, well I am sorry but you are more of an idiot if you now think Fabregas will never leave Arsenal for Barcelona because he’ll eventually will even if it is to finish his career there when he is in his 30’s.
highbury1, the fact that you feel what Hleb has done deserves a broken leg shows your real class, you sir are a gentleman, sickening suggestion, you should be ashamed, I dont even wish that for Spurs/Man Utd players.
Powelly, what the hell are you talking about? How is Hleb’s comments qualify as an “illegal approach”? omg, what a dumbarse suggestion.
Sometimes I am ashamed to find fans like you lot.
Gooner - July 21st, 2008 at 8:55 am
Alex Hleb is wrong in saying anything about Arsenal. He should shut his mouth and play for Barca. Trying to unsettle fans and players is not what he should do, I would say he has shown his class. Let us Gooners show him our class and ignore him.
Nemo - July 21st, 2008 at 9:51 am
erik before defending Hleb, just remember that Gooners have had toput up with crap like this from the so-called great ™ Euro clubs tapping up players for years. Hleb hardly covered himself in glory in the way that he and his pimp of an agent orchestrated the move to bastardolona, did they? Meeting Inter for icecream during a CL leg hardly constitutes open and transparent beahviour to a contracted player does it? In the end, yes, Hleb treated Gooners to some mesmerising performances and I ain’t about to take him to task for his lack of goals, though I can see Gooners’ points on this, but ultimately, he showed the club a disappointing lack of respect and absence of honesty in the manner he engineered his move away.
Good luck to him, but f*** him. I don’t wish injuries on any player, but I happily wish for the legs of some spud fans to be broken as I wish misfortune on Scumsea fans. I think what Powelly was stating was that the Euro clubs have a quite disgraceful habit of employing their players to tap up other teams’ contracted players via their various media outlets. Iniesta and old buckteeth Ronaldinho were saying how they’d love to play with Henry and bastardolona in Summer 06, but such conduct is okay in the eyes of myopic xenophobes like Platini and Blatter. It would be like saying to your neighbour, I like the cut of your wife’s jib, maybe she can come around one day when you’re on nights so we can play scrabble and hoepfully we’ll end up in bed and if that’s the case, I’ll get some new sheets on.
arsenal 4evr - July 21st, 2008 at 11:23 am
Hleb’s just getting over excited after barca have bought him… same time next year he wud be heading for some unknown club in uzbekistan or back 2 some shite club like spuds where he’ll rot 4 the rest of his life… he says tat he believes to be in a worldclass club now??? he’s just a typical leech who used arsenal as a ladder 2 success… but he has 2 remember tat all players who’ve left arsenal didnt achieve greatness after goin 2 their new club… they achieved greatness with arsenal… poor hleb… il be overjoyed wen barca get roasted by real next season n guardiola is fired… hleb wud be an unwanted entity n he wud be chucked out cos he wont shoot n scorin goals is impossible 4 him…

Erik you cunt shut the fuck up, theres no reason for hleb opening up this can of worms, twat!
Arsenal Fan! - July 21st, 2008 at 11:14 pm
at one point i thought hleb was arsenals best player
but one day i saw a mention in the newspaper saying hleb linked with barca , i thought it aint gonna happen ,
now its happened
i think hleb was a bit of fool
what more do u want
first team place
quite alot of money
great manager
and arsenal might even win the premiership, and CL
soo why go to a club whos aint doing that well , and sign big players to put on the bench
like henry
he was amazing at one point , now he’s on the bench
arsenal should of done a switch perhaps
hleb for henry
hleb for messi
mboza - July 21st, 2008 at 11:44 pm
erik please pick up hleb from nou-crap,go to hell and tell the devil that i sent you both there
