Adebayor

devilish

Why dont we go for him? I mean he is EPL tested, he is still young and he is the target man that we need. AC Milan are close for him but do not want to pay the amount of money Arsenal wants (they feel confident that they will get him because he has just 2 yrs left on his contract). Im sure that if we go for him with the right sum of money Arsenal will consider us too expecially if we manage to convince the player to choose just us.

fergie made an inquiry for him last summer supposedly.

i'd go for him for sure, but doubt arsenal would sell to us and would rather take 5 million less to go to milan.

We're not selling him to anyone least of all you. As Wenger faxed Milan: Va fanculo.

devilish

Milan are confident because Adebayor has 2 years left in his contract. The problem is the price. I had just seen Galliani saying it on the Italian media.

Pls dont shoot the messanger.

devilish

AC Milan are giving peanuts for him and with two years left on his contract Arsenal are in no position to negotiate. If we match their valutation then I think they would at least consider our bid expecially if Adebayor is wise enough to prefer CL football rather then the UEFA cup.

Sarni

We'd have to outbid Milan by 50% at least to make Arsenal even consider our bid. Wenger is wise enough to know that Adebayor would make a capital difference at United if signed.

jatin

I doubt he would wanna play for us in the first place

Partizan

Yes, strange that as Eurpean champions we seem to have a singular difficulty in the recruitment of top players.

They're hardly selling him for peanuts.

Eyepopper

I'd like to see him at Utd but Arsenal would never sell him to us..

Wenger said he was not for sale - not for money, not for gold. But what if... what if... what if we offered him something more? At £150billion per milligram, antimatter is the single most expensive substance in existence. A few kg's of the good stuff would tempt Wenger round, surely! He'd be a fool to say no! The big joke, hehe, the big 'pay-off' if you will, would be that antimatter is so unstable, by the time he gets it back to the vault at The Emirates it would no longer exist!

Unstable? Would be a great replacement for Lehman.

I really don't think Arsenal would sell to us. We tried it before and got nowhere. He'd cost 40m if we went for him sure! The price goes up if United are interested.

Adebayor is a good player and nothing more. He scored bag loads of goals at the beginning of last season and when the going got tough, he didn't deliver. How many goals did he get after Christmas? Not many. He is not United quality.

devilish

He has 2 yrs left on his contract and the only concrete offered received by Arsenal is way down their valutation. I think that Arsenal may be tempted to recoup as much money out of the player as possible. Im not saying that he would come cheap but if we had to choose to spend either 20m on a 27 yr old or 20m on Adebayor then the choice seem obvious (at least from my side)

Brwned

Do you have some inside information that we don't? Because as of yet no transfer bid has been declared to the public.

If they were both available and both would cost the same amount then Adebayor would be the better option, but that's not the case. Arsene Wenger wouldn't strengthen his main rivals, and definitely not at such a small price as £20m. Significantly weakening your team while strengthening your rivals would not be worth £20m, much more in the region of £50m+.

Brwned

If you are judging players by goals purely then Cantona must be a fairly average player in your view? Adebayor brings so much more to the table than finishing and lead the line strikers really shouldn't be judged on goals but on overall contribution imo. Without him Arsenal would have struggled big time this season, and Arsenal would hardly rely on just "a good player and nothing more".

peterstorey

You on day release from the General?

Makki

So he isn't retiring then?

devilish

Ive just seen Vice President Galliani talking on the media.

I dont think it would be 50m. I mean, Adebayor is no Torres or Wayne Rooney + he has just 2 years left on his contract. 20 - 25m would be a realistic bid.

Brwned

He's a media whore and a regular liar, he aims to please the fans too much. Going with flavour of the month signings and declares them to the media, e.g. saying he wanted Ronaldinho one month, Eto'o the next, then Drogba, now Adebayor.

He quite clearly is on a par with Torres, if not better.

A realistic bid which we probably put in last summer, and Arsenal rejected without even thinking about it. We tried for him last summer and failed, now that he is even more important to their team there is even less of a chance of us getting him.

devilish

How many times had you watched Galliani talk and which articles of his have you read? BTW do you know Italian in the first place to understand what he is actually saying?


He is not



He has just 2 years left in his contract and his price is meant to go down.

Brwned

Ever heard of translation? It's a modern day technique of being able to understand other languages without even having to learn them, the media does that for us. Get off your high horse because you understand Italian.

Are we talking about just last year or over the past few years?

Not after the season he had. Arsene Wenger would rather keep him than give him to us for £20m. Stop ignoring the facts and listening to what you want to hear. We had a bid rejected for him, after having a poor season for Arsenal, so they won't sell him to us.

hahaha you crack me up ciderman.
