Arshavin fires his agent

Forward Andrey Arshavin has parted company with his agent Dennis Lachter, preferring instead to conduct all negotiations himself.

Arshavin said: "Recently I sent a formal letter to Dennis Lachter, which said that I do not want him to continue to represent me and that I will act on my own behalf.

"This is no way associated with my Arsenal contract. On the contrary, I want to express my deep gratitude for Lachter's help in moving to the English club.

"But now I am having operational problems and Dennis, who has a newborn son, lives in Israel and cannot always be close to me, so it is easier to solve all these problems myself."

I wish most player fired their agent. The agent is what keeps up most of the crap in the papers.
