So, it’s official, Hleb has finally signed for Barcelona for an undisclosed fee, believed to be around the £15m mark. The article can be found here.
Sad to see him go, he was a decent player and probably has the best first touch I’ve ever seen, but he’s more suited to La Liga and I think he’ll do well. Good luck to the lad.
Hopefully, this will open the door for us to make a signing in the next week or so.

He always played as the second striker before he joined us, and for Belarus. He looked good when Wenger played him there for the European games, but I don’t think he was suited to the premiership. Slowed the game down.
