Saw the Adebayour's transfer story yesterday...

• Why would he instigate such a rumour?
• I reckon Arsene has mentioned it to him, he was bought for 5m he could go for 27m. Wenger is a business man and would think he can train a young player to take Ade's place. He is no Henry but then Henry is older and matured, it would take Adebayour a few yrs to get there but he would.
• As a player he has to aim high, fvck loyalty he wants more money and if he can get it now then why the hell not?

Smegball

Hmmmm, with Barca keen on Adebayor, sorta opens up the chance of yous signing Villa doesnt it?
Barca won't sign both surely, and I dont think Madrid will be after him.

If the quotes are true it is sad imo as it shows he has turned into a big headed git, he has had one very good season, that is all.

nah, f*ck that. the entire game is based on loyalty, in economics terms clubs seek to create a monopoly of loyal fans who will buy sh*t off them no matter what. it's a bit sickening to see the average punter display so much loyalty to clubs and players alike and then have it thrown back in their face by muppets like Adebayor. loyalty keeps the entire game alive, gets the players extortional wages paid and they practically sh*t on it. f*ck him. i hope he gets his big money move and crashes and fades into obscurity. what would be lovely as well would be if it turned out his agent laundered all his 'pension'. one can but dream...

Royale with Cheese

Would be nice to see him move to Barca and fair about as well as Henry did. Maybe they'd think twice about buying any players off Arsenal again.

I've never rated Ade that highly. If you were the only striker on the arsenal team, you would've scored 30 goals last season. IMO get rid of him. He's a greedy git and we all know what happens to greedy gits after they leave AFC.

Galvasean

Good luck to him if he wants to join AC Milan. Him and Flamini can have a great time in the Eufa Cup. I'd say Barcelona are the only real contenders for his signature. Sky Sports today were saying 'an English club' also wants him. Can't see it happening TBH.

Mitch Connor

chelsea were linked in the papers this morning, but i remember reading that Ferguson has made enquires about him last summer.

I'd love him at United, but not at the 30million being talked about - wouldn't go more then 20million for him.

Galvasean

All right, we'll give you Adebayor and you can give us that Ronaldo guy everyone seems to hate now.

Mr Alan

dont do it Galvasean! you're selling your soul!!!!

Mitch Connor

Sure why would you want an over-rated one trick show pony? I hear Reyes is going to be better than him too.

Don't mention that little waster in here :mad:

Biggest waste of talent I've ever seen.

Talent to burn but christ as dumb as they come

Galvasean

I remember seeing Reyes score six goals in his first seven games for us and thinking between him and Henry we are going to dominate English football for a long time. Then he realized he was homesick. :mad:

Agree withs most of that, but until now I've liked Ade as a person, from what I've seen of him, so I'd wish him all the best (although, we all know that most players crash and burn once they leave the Arsenal)

I won €150 out out of him from those first few games
Saw him in pre-season and he was impressive, saw that he 25/1 with PP to win player of the month for the September and stuck a few quid on him! That was the last time I put any money on him!!

As for Abe, I don't really rate him, he had good players around him last season. Any half decent striker would notch up a nice tally in that team. If Arsenal can get €20 million for him then they shouldn't think twice!

If we could get Santa Cruz, I wouldn't mind getting £30m for Ade

Pepe LeFrits

I'd be concerned about Santa Cruz's ability to stay fit, though I'd have none about his footballing ability. He'd be a great partner for any of our strikers. If he arrived and by some miracle both himself AND van Persie stayed fit, I don't think any Gooner would give a **** about Ade leaving.

Lots of ifs though.

Read i9n the Indo today that Arsenal could be in for Veloso.
That would be our best signing of the summer imo.
He's a cracking player and would really fill Flamini's position.

been linked with him in the tabloids plenty of times already. i'd be surprised if it's anything but paper talk tbh.

Yeah yaken with a pinch of salt. I'd love it though...

Pepe LeFrits

Meh. I'd rather a CB.

yeah, me too. i'm rather disappointed myself the Zapata rumours came to nought. looks like he'll stick with Senderos, Song and Djourou as back up though... i don't think there's been a CB linked with the club in the past few weeks which is surprising given the usual state of affairs.

Pepe LeFrits wrote: »

So would I.
That doesnt mean it wouldnt be a good signing. If we didnt get a CB before next season he would at least be a help in shielding the defence...
Also he can play CB in a pinch

Mr Alan

are yous expecting a CB to be signed, despite Wenger saying he would be?

Pepe LeFrits

I wouldn't pay too much attention to Wenger saying he isn't going to sign X, I seem to recall him saying he wasn't going to buy anyone in January and then two weeks later he spent £10m on Reyes.

He did mention at the AST meeting about 2 months ago that the team had been weak at defending high balls down the middle and that was one thing that had to be addressed. Hopefully that doesn't mean Alex Song is the only addition to the CB area.

He makes great fish and chips

Pepe LeFrits

But on a more serious note, apparently Werder Bremen’s website have confirmed that he is going to Arsenal. I’d check myself but I don’t really give a crap.

French – check
Defensive Midfielder – check
Short – check
Injury prone – check
Reserve teamer – check
Cheap - check

He played for Bremens Reserve. Has only 1 game in the first team, and that was as a substitution in an Uefa Cup Game against Celta Vigo.

For the last 3 seasons he played 62 games in Bremans Reserve (third german league) and scored 6 goals.

Can't see him to be much of a signing, tbh.

MIN2511

How much did ye pay for him?

Pepe LeFrits

Free transfer

Stefan Malz mk.II.

Apparently Bischoff is an attacking midfielder, not a defensive midfielder.

Eduardo says he'll be fit enough to play football in August, maybe even July.

How is that even possible. I will be amazed to see him on at least the bench come Julu/August.

Veloso has apparently been **** for about two seasons now.

i'd say that's a mistranslation. i'd say he means start training with a football, or with the team perhaps at best. Wenger wouldn't let him near the bench by then i'd imagine.

I confirmed this by typing 'Amaury Bischoff attacking' into Google... although interestingly, result #7 didn't mention that he was an attacking midfielder - it only showed up because it reported on Joey Barton's suspended sentence

exactly. he's only going to start kicking a ball in the next few weeks.

Pepe LeFrits

Isn't that what football is?

Pepe LeFrits wrote: »

uhhh... no. playing football would be playing in matches, perhaps even merely taking part in some training exercises. kicking a football is just that. kicking it. another step in rebuilding the strength in the leg. that's where Eduardo would be at i'd imagine in the next few weeks, still a long way off even training with the first team yet.
