Can these Arshavin quotes be real?

From today’s Sunday People:
“I am going to Barcelona in the summer.
“I have always dreamed about going to Spain and playing for the best team in the world.
”They were unsure about me when I was playing in Russia but I have shown them that I’m the real deal and I know they are ready to talk to me.
“I want to play for the top team and be trying to win every competition, I don’t think you can rate one better than the other, it is all about winning. I want to play for them and that is never going to change.
“I know Gael Clichy would love to play out there as well, and he would work well in their team.
“It would be tough trying to compete with Xavi and Iniesta but that is the competition I want, I don’t want to walk into a team.”
Rumours doing the rounds on twitter suggest these could have been recorded at a charity do on Thursday. I am one of the little Russian’s biggest fans, but if these quotes turn out to be legitimate it’s hard to see him having much of a future at the club.
More, hopefully with some denials, tomorrow.
