So after a month of rumour and speculation Adebayor finally came out and said what we all wanted to hear, that he was staying, then in the same interview he said many other clubs were after him and he will decide where he goes next week. He’ll decide!!!
Many have been upset by this behaviour, indeed many are just plain angry, what he did was to raise everyones hopes, then dash them in the next breath, Togonator or Togotwat?
I’m going for the bit that ended in twat so here’s my view, I think he’s easily led, why? Because he has never had to learn how to behave or what to say to an adoring public, that he doesn’t really understand what a contract means, he really isn’t that bright, I also think the interviewer led him to say what he said, that said I don’t want to see the greedy arrogant tosser in an Arsenal shirt again, I would like to see Arsene stop pandering to these mercenaries and send out a message.
Ade had one good season in a team that created more chances than any other, see what he’s like at another team, he wasn’t that impressive at Monaco was he? How many of you got excited when we signed him?
Cesc loves the club and tells us he’s staying, Ade and Hleb clearly don’t, so should either rot in the stiffs or be sold for the max and be done with it.
I had enough of them, bring in someone that would want to play for the Arsenal, go after Micah Richards, he supports the Arsenal, he would love it if we bought him and so would we.
Yesterdays behaviour was cruel and uneccessary and even if he stays I will never like him again, or Hleb.
Onto better and happier news, Theo has been given the untouchable number 14, fantastic news, if anyone can do that proud, it’s Theo, I really, really rate this kid and think he will be a revelation this season, I hope Thierry comes out and says something, that would be a nice touch.
So just when we thought the speculation would stop, it begins again. This does nothing other than make our club look stupid and when rotten apples do that, they have to be discarded before it affects the whole barrel.
However he will need to bring in better or the team will be affected and I really don’t want another season like we just had, so I hope the boss has something in mind other than Ramsey.
Gilberto is a legend and should be kept, at the end of the season I think he was back to his best, but his loyalty is appreciated and should be rewarded. It seems to be a rarity these days at the Arsenal.
David Dein pops up again to say we need Usmanov’s money and we’re being left behind by the top 3 and Tottenham because we don’t or won’t spend, I wonder what his best mate Wenger says to him when they go out for a couple of pints.
Imagine…
DD – ‘Arsene you need to spend £70 million on star players’
AW – ‘No I don’t’
That would be a short and interesting conversation wouldn’t it?
Le Grove is now smart phone compatible!
Pedro
Geoff
And this is the problem with signing young players, they get to be good and then they leave, it’s a seriously flawed game plan.
We take the pain, someone else get’s the gain.
2nd.
i want a transfer, other than ramsey, on monday, is that too much to ask?
When I go back to Africa it is obvious that a lot of people love the club. But now I have a chance of playing with one of the biggest clubs in the world.”
Adebayor added: “I haven’t had a chance to speak to the manager yet. But we will sit down next week and decide what is good for my career.
“We will have to meet with the manager before anything can be decided. But, as you know better than anyone, a lot of teams want me to play for them.
“It will not be a difficult decision. I’m just going to sit down with my agent and with my family and decide what is good for my career.”
Milan midfielder Clarence Seedorf believes Adebayor has already made up his mind.
He told Setanta Sports News: “When I spoke with him I said ‘I’m waiting for you’. Let’s see what will happen.
“He already said he would come, but it depends now on Arsenal.
“If he leaves Arsenal, it’s a done deal. He comes to Milan.”
WHAT A COCKHEAD!
i cant wait for us to sell helb. and if the money is good i say Sell Ade. yes he done well for us last eason but if DUDU and RVP didnt get injurd he wouldnt have scored the goals he did.
im sure we can get somone with alot my BITE up front then our 1 out of every 5 shots Togotwat
alot MORE BITE. i mean
Gilberto is a legend and should be kept, at the end of the season I think he was back to his best, but his loyalty is appreciated and should be rewarded. It seems to be a rarity these days at the Arsenal.
Geoff you must of missed the interview with him prior to going back to Brazil to train with his national team , he said he was bitterly disappointed with his treatment this season and will think long and hard about his future , but he was trying to keep the disappointment out of his mind 4 the national teams sake and not think about arsenal at all !
Doesn’t sound good and will wenger use him like he wants to be played next season ??
I think he will be Next 1 gone .. and 1 of the last invincible’s to say goodbye …
But ade going is for the best , with a huge bank role for the cunt … we should get enough cash to get us out of the shit !!!
Gilberto will be going no where. he has way more experience than diaby and denilson, so i expect him to start the first game alongside cesc!
Matteaus said that Gomez would be a great replacement for Adebayor….not sure about that one.
Wenger will give an interview tonight on Sky Sports.
Ethen, Gilberto said yesterday that he wants to stay, but it’s up to the manager!
Hleb, Adebayor and any player who displays anything less than total commitment to the team must move on.
All the ade lovers will be quiet today wont they !
hmmm , Fuckin hate to say i told ya so !
the ‘TH14 come out and say im staying routine’ !
works every time on the arsenal suckers ..
You have to realize they are all merc’s !
all want more cash , for playing the sport they love !
We have to get with the program and stop bitching about it ..
pay the cunts what they want ..
but only after Ade has left
That’s what the manager is paid for though, to keep the players gobs shut. Ade’s a cunt and should fuck off today.
selling ade for over 20 million is a bigger con than the Italian job !
I hope he goes to barca or real , or someone we will meet in the C.L
Our midfield can make any striker famous !
thats the long and the short of it !!!
Id rather see someone who has got superior skill to begin with !
If only TH14 came back .. he would be amazed at our scoring opportunities now on offer
, it made a bum like ade look good , just imagine what it would do for someone like villa – TH14 ..
we need to keep hleb , but im sure he is packing as we speak !
le-grove is realy the grove man….all the posts are A grade and prompt.
keep groving.
i think there are better strikers than ade ok he has scored 30 goals but how many chances has he missed
when these agents leak out stuff like they have , it has all ended in precisely the manner
in which they’ve said it would .. them leaving , these guys work for the player , if the player wasn’t happy with the agent im sure he could sack them ..
What im trying to say is ade knew what his agent was blabbering on about .. He was testing the fuckin water .. Hlebs agent is the same .. Registering public interest !
( an unofficial come and get me plea ! )
But you cant tell me the player doesn’t know whats going on !
he pulls the strings for the agent to act to begin with !!!
Its the player thats pissed off that cesc or alike is getting more $$$ than they are !what ever the reason…
the player says 1 or 2 choice words to the agent ,agent goes public to the press with a little slip of words … and then arsenal need to come to the table with $$$
or lose a player !!!
its quite a simple process really
hleb , ade , oh and that nasri fellow who apparently had a medical more than a week ago !! Sought it out Arsene , it has become boring and tedious to the extent of embarrassing ! I trust the merry go round will start next week after the euros . I HOPE WE ARE ON IT . ADE ; not the sharpest tool in the box , no , but a fucking tool none the less.
This guy is not to be trusted. He always came across as a likeable bloke full of fun and was proud to wear the Arsenal colours but yesterday he showed us his true colours, so please get rid boss!.
andy
over 1000 id reckon !
true geoff apparently togotwat has done this routinely with his previous club monaco as well and even with his national team this cunt was a mercenary the very day he joined…..he didnt join because he was gona join the arsenal or play under arsene wenger he just joined coz he thought he could get a massive pay packet if he played well and if you listen to this interview you can see how he mentions that money is everything for footballers and he is no different.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/sol/newsid_7420000/newsid_7428600/7428699.stm?bw=nb&mp=wm&news=1&ms3=2&ms_javascript=true&bbcws=2
Really enjoyed the post you were spot on.
However, I have a feeling that the boss already has a roll in mind for Ramsey this coming season.
Sorry it took a whille gunner_fever it’s because you had an attachment.
Arsenal FC are fast becoming like a footballing college, all the talented youth from around the world want to join us because they know they will leave as superstars. I would rather players join us because they like the club, fans, traditions, at the moment the club is just being used by players.
I hope we get adequate compensation for Adebayor, it might be for the best anyway as our reliance on him at the end of last season during his dry spell was one of the reasons we won nothing. We need 2 or 3 top strikers to get goals not one man.
no probs geoff its a pleasure to post here
Morning All. In regards to Ade, I am constantly struck by how naive and selfish he is. He is always going on about fun. I just want to have fun when I play, yes I bet he works hard, but he was under the tutelage of the greatest moulder of footballers around in AW. He is still way off the finished product. I believe he is going to fall harder than most who left the club.
ethangunner I’m an ade lover. The stupid cunt can still fuck off though.
Taking my last email further if we want to keep our top players and prevent them from going then we must sort out the money or we’ll just become a feeder club if we’re not that already.. If we ain’t got the loot then it’s time we handed over to Stan or we will get left behind by the Chelskis Man-ooze and the likes of Spurs will be getting stronger. Spurs could well take our place in europe next season. It’s no good fellow Gooners in us being smug and shouting “No way this could never happen!” Oh yes it could if we don’t wake up, we’ll have that nightmare Ugh! spurs in europe. ugh!.
villa would be a flop in England
what an arse hole…………………… ade shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they come from a difficult background and when they see money..they have no loyalty.
dont wanna wrtie anything about that bastard……….” oh some clubs are after me”….yes the hell they are coz the jersey u wear make them come after u..its coz u played for ARSENAL and not a 2nd tier team.they made u what u r from a piece of shit and u are giving a loyal intrest for the trust we had in you…..you should be auctioned for coca cola championship coz u desrve to be there and never ever touch that ARSENAL logo on ur shirt otherwise we will come and fuck you.
the beers are going down well today i must say!
let the fuck him go and buy Villa AW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mornnig everyone
Great read Geoff,
I couldnt agree more…
Helb and Ade have made themselves look exteremely stupid and disloyal and AW has to sell them both and bring in two good replacements – but then we all know that.
Its interesting, most clubs are back in training this coming week, but we are not back until the 7th July
I am hoping that this will give AW the week prior to pre-season to sort out all this crap – and bring in those who has targetted. I think the Ramsey transfer was completed early, purely because Manure pushed the issue by announcing their agreement with Cardiff, had he not made a move, he would have lost out.
His other targets are different, and I think he is waiting for the 1st July which is when most clubs are back up and running after the summer break.
So my silly theory is that come Tuesday, the silly season will truely kick off, call me sad but I am looking forward to it… And I still think he will make his signings complete by the end of next week, ready to whip these players into shape
The question is – who will they be, and will they be who we hope for…
Roll on the 1st July
I completely agree – even if he stays – he has destroyed the affection gooners had for him. That interview which went out on Sky Sports News yesterday was astonishing. Speaking about himself in the third person???? “many teams are interested in Adebayor” – what a tool. We have watched this prick’s ego gradually grow during the the season – his first good one. At least Henry earned the right to carry an ego on the pitch after consistent success season after season. As you rightly pointed out we create more chances than any other side – most half decent strikers would score 20+ in this side over the course of a season. If he goes, he goes. At least you can guarantee that Croucho wouldnt get the Italian/Spanish clubs sniffing around every summer!
Not really a case of you telling us so ethan
You just said he was shit and you wanted him to leave, him leaving was something that always debated but I got the impression even us ade likers would be happy with getting 25+ for him. At that price it is good business………as long as we replace him with class not kindergarten. I think we also agreed he was not worth 80 or 120k unless he proved it and improved over another season.
What has happened now though, is that through his actions yesterday, Ade has alienated all of those who rated him. We still rate him, but he simply cant show that level of dis-respect and stay at the club.
Once again though, whoever clears news releases for Arsenal needs to be sacked, either that or Arsene does not know his players as well as he thinks he does. best thing he can do on the 7th is to ask the whole squad who wants to leave, and get rid of any more twats that can be doing damage to the other players.
they are replaceable, and the only players we have that aren’t are Cesc, Clichy and Sagna.
The bigger issue for me is that like or hate ade and hleb, we are now in a position where we will have lost 4 key players from the starting 11. Lehman (Who was the better keeper), Flamini, Hleb and Ade. Regardless of who we buy, there will now be that much change that by the time we settle and gel the leaders could be too far ahead.
Dont get me wrong, they both have to go but I think we will now be seriously up against it next season regardless of who we buy, so I fear it is another season of transition.
And you can’t count Ramsey either, as far as I am concerned if they both go, we need 6 players, 4 to replace those that have left and the 2 that we already needed to move up to the next level.
I know Arsene is in a bit of a dual role at the moment, in scouting and acting as an ambassador, but he seriously needs to start giving 100% back to Arsenal, as otherwise we will miss out on targets and end up glued to news now up to midnight on the 31st August.
Sort it out Arsene as the one thing you are definitely not doing at the moment……..
Is Reassuring me
too much hate Grove – chill…
Ade isn’t very bright, granted, but he wants to go to Milan & I accept his reasons are
almost certainly financial but if he goes for the approx price that’s being banded around, it’s my opinion, it will be good business for AFC. We have a manager who will use the money very wisely in improving the team.
For what it’s worth, I would love it to go towards getting Silva, for me a better player than Hleb & replace Ade with Pavalachenko(I’m not even going to try & spell it correctly) the 6ft Russian CF who looks to have everything Ade has & more. Guess the only worry with him is Russians don’t often set the world alight when they play for clubs outside Russia. I just think he’s quality & worth a gamble.
Really hope Cesc gets his hands on that trophy Sunday. Don’t ever remember watching a 20yr old run a semi final like he did. C’mon Cesc, show Ballack who’s boss!
Well put and bang on Pat.
I do agree with you on agents though Ethan
It will always be a murky world and it will always be about getting the best deal for their clients, and I cant argue with that, it is the Agents role.
What I dont like though and something that Ade has done, is that his agent was saying he was leaving the club, yet the player was telling the club (On the official website….twice) that it was rubbish and he was staying.
Once you get in that position it goes one of two ways
The Ade way where either he was truthful at first but his head has been turned behind the scenes (And I have to admit even in my industry I have been in positions where I have been approached and not been interested at first but, as time goes on and the package improves, I have ended up moving) or he is a complete twat and just tried to ease his way out of the door.
Or the Cesc way where the agent was talking without Cesc’s approval…Agent gets sacked.
Highgate, Mayank and RG sorry for the wait, RG of course there’s hate we’re all having the piss taken out of us. It doesn’t mean we’re not chilled though.
Pat how many jobs have ever gauranteed you 4 years salary? that’s what a contract is for, he has no right to get tempted.
RG
My concern is though that Wenger wont spend the money wisely. We cant be bringing players that will be ready in 2-3 years anymore and of those that have/are leaving Ade, Flamini and Hleb fell into that category.
We seem to always be in the black (and a lot in the black) when the transfer windows closes.
He needs to invest all of it this year including the money we make on players and the cash we already had available
I am not saying it is right Geoff,
I was trying to point out that maybe Ade’s early words on Arsenal.com were truthful but underhand tactics from his agent and AC Milan and Barca have won the mind games…..and at a time where Arsenal were not counteracting it as we are still to sit down with him on an improved contract and Arsene is out of the country.
Unfortunately in football unless you can afford to put a player in the reserves for the remainder of a contract, then that contract is pretty worthless. all a contract does is help to put a value on a player for selling. the longer that is left the more he costs.
spot on pedro. Im not going to bang on about Ade and Hlebs heads up their own arses but its surley now obvious they are only in it for the cash, so they can f*** off.
To replace Ade would be easy, f*** me I could score 30+ for the Arsenal, we create so many chances for our strikers its unbelievable.
Anyone well done to TW getting the no.14 shirt, he’s gonna be a big, big player for us next season.
Patthegooner Agents don’t get the best for thier client, they do what’s best for them. There are cases where the agents fee is worth more than the whole life of the players contract. There are probably exceptions but in general they are parasytical (can’t spell) scum who only need 3 players on thier books to be richer than the people they “represent”
in short they are mostly cunts.
Football is sick. Platini has a plan not to allow leveraged football takeovers and clubs living on the brink of disaster. The irony is that the clubs that harass Arsenal for players: Milan, Barca, Inter, Madrid, are all technically insolvent and would suffer more than any other (apart from Chelsea). What does this mean? It means that in two to three years time, they would not be able to compete with Arsenal and Man U on wages and fees. Now put this in the context of Dein’s rubbish comments and you realise he (Dein) in living in cuckoo land or is simply dishonest, or both.
As for Adebayor. Honestly, I have rarely seen a more overrated player with such an ego in my life. I say sell him just to prove to the world how poor a footballer he is. Then he will learn and yet again we will make lots of money for a dud from dumb Italians and Spaniards. Football really is sick but Platini seems determined to clean it up. If he succeeds, wages will stabilise and it will be more difficult for twats like Ronaldo and Adebayor to behave like Gods.
adebayor wont leave or will be sold……that statement he came out with last night saying”well sit down next week and decide” was i think words from his agent. i think when his agent seen the statement b4 saying he was staying at emirates he prob phoned him and went mad at him for saying it…..i think hes just after more money or rather his agent his. if he his only on 30.000 a week that aint alot for a footballer of his qualitys.
i want him to stay and i think arsenal fans eager for him to go now are shooting themselves in the foot….and why people are annoyed with hleb i cant understand hes come out a few times and said the stuff in the papers is crap…why you still angry with him.
if you should be moaning about anyone it should be either the board not giving wenger enough money or him not spending it on world class players like we was promised
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=jKgn_AvyUTs
i am really REALLY sick to death of other clubs always after our players and nothing but media bullshit and roumours about people leaving. from Anelka to vieria to Henry.
were going to get the same thing with Fabregas soon. you’ll see.
and like always arsenal or player does nothing to stop it. either say there leaving or say there staying. it isnt that hard. BUT twats like ADE says one thing and 1 hour later says somthing else.
What a arse Clown.
any ways im in need of some laughter, so im shearing a clip oF this Fat Chick i got on my Holiday. ENJOY!
I disagree Michael
It might not be the best in footballing terms, but regardless of how much an agent gets paid, neither Ade or Hleb would be leaving Arsenal if Barca and Milan were offering the same package.
I will re-phrase, they get the best possible finincial package for the player and I would imagine thier fee is base upon a commision % from the wage and signing on fee.
The way they operate though is disgraceful and they are parasytical scum….agreed on that.
morning
ade can really go..I would be more happy to see him leave than stay
eeryone also thought torres would be flop and look how he did.and I rate Villa better than him.
dont think arsene would buy him though
anyone know whats happening to hleb?
Sorry Tiny but that is bollocks
Do you honestly believe as an Arsenal fan that it was acceptable behaviour for Ade to do that yesterday. It was un-professional and showed a complete lack of respect for the club and the fans..
regardless of our wage structure or how much money Arsene has, it was unforgiveable.
If AW wanted to offer Adeego a new contract he would have done so already, the Clichy deal was done quickly and quietly. He is not an ‘Arsenal’ type player, no humility, no class, no brain and no team ethic, well there is still team Adebeyor for him.
im with patthegooner on that one
This Peter Crouch rumour is gathering momentum this morning
It seriously worries me. He is a similar player to Ade but the fact that neither AC or Barca are interested and Portsmouth and Newcastle are shows that we would be buying the poorer version of Ade.
PLEASE NO.
Do you know I would be happy for AFC to pay these traitors to keep their muths shut first.
Then I hope Arsene sells every player who has double talked to the press or whoever ie; I love the club and want to win things but I know many clubs want ne etc etc’.
Sorry but if THE ARSENAL is not the top in the world for you fellas then piss off and fast. What e the Gunners do not want again ever is another ‘Peteit, Overmars, Viera, Henry ‘I want to leave’ very season for another four seasons.
Now by their own big mouths AdeB & Hleb have made it clear to us they want more money rather than have the quality only found at THE ARSENAL, so Arsene please get rid of them now and use it as a lesson for all of the other players here and to come.
Love being right. I have said this since summer 2006. When the idiotic Wenger apologists like Amos, LD, GoodtoBaGooner et al all slated me. That was, it is all well Wenger having a so-called masterplan bringing on youth etc, but if you don’t win shit, it ain’t ever gonna materialize because players will want out. Never been proved wrong, and never will. Even if we bought in Villa and Silva as an example, we’d still prolly wouldn’t win anything major because of Wenger, despite it increasing our chances. Never won loads of titles when we did have a quality squad.
As for Adebayor, what’s the point in offering the cunt a new contract? Once his head has already turned in which it has, there is no way back. It just be the same shit summer after summer. Same with that cunt Hleb. Our club is full of cunts FACT! Greedy cunts like Adebayor should fuck off back to the slums and poverty of Africa, don’t realize how lucky they are to get what they currently do. Same old shit. “Oh yeah, we had a poor childhood when growing up, never had money for food etc.” Now they’re all grown up, they totally abuse what they have etc. AdebayCUNT. He doesn’t deserve the life he has been blessed with.
I cant see the point of hating Ade for wanting to leave our club
Wenger knew his character before he bought him.. and yes he is full of himself
but as Ade put it, he didnt buy me for my eyes only, but because he thought I could do a job..which he did
he is perfectly entitled to go to a club that pays him more money
why do Arsenal supporters think that one should love Arsenal to play for them
this is business.. Arsenal players are mates to the extent that they see each other every day and work for the same firm .. thats all.. forget the rest
do you think Nasri joins because he loves Arsenal??
NO.. its a biz decision based on his current ability versus his aspirations
we are not competitive in paying salaries to players, so we will have players leaving us..simple..
Togo is poor and he should aspire to be able to make as much money as he can
you musnt forget that he is also taking a risk on by leaving.. if he doesnt perform, his career will nosedive .. so its not as clear cut as some of you make it
ONE thing is clear though and that is that Arsenal’ s youth policy is a complete failure
the reason we buy players like Ade/Hleb/Nasri is to get supposed loyalty from them by getting them to acknowledge how great an influence Wenger has been in their careers and thereby getting these guys to stay on low salaries because Daddy made them what they are today
I say bullshit and hats off to Ade for shooting through this myth by saying that he wasnt bought because he was a poor Togo rentboy with hazelnut eyes and a shaven bum
Ade is 100% in his rights to leave and so is Cesc and all the others .. this is a business and if Arsenal wants to play with different rules, so be it , but dont complain..
so now Arsene .. GO OUT AND BUY ETO’O with this money .. buy a 27 years old who wont need to be trained up in exchange for your supposed loyalty.. and pay him the money he wants.. Arsenal has to change .. not the players.. and thats why we are falling behind .. and yes and I forgot, bring David Dein back..and with him the days we won trophies ..
patthegooner – I think you have been spot on with your assesment of our idiot, but I think Crouch would be a good signing, you never hear about him mouthing off in the press, he leads the line intellegently, has a great first touch for a big man and is not to ‘big time’ to stop any of our kids coming through. I think Crouch is unfortunate in the fact people laugh at him cause of how gangly he is, he seems to be a victim of his physic and therefore unfashionable. I think he would have scored 40+ at us last year, and remember how he destroyed us in the league game at the Emirares last season.
i just hope the money is re invested in quality . if this summer we lose ade , hleb and flam and sign unknownes again you will have to start believeing that we buy young ,sell for lots , more money for the board and no re investment in tha club . NOT GOOD
I don’t think we can start making rash judgements until we know what the coach is going to do.
If Ade stays… he will hopefully kick on. If he goes… we get £40mil.
Win win, right?
He is not our number 1 striker, so lets not get too bent out of shape over him!
BB… he isn’t entitled to go to a club that pay him more… he has a 3 year contract with us, so he has to stay.
People are hating on him because he has given us 2 years of shit… 1 year of goodness and now he wants out.
He, more than any Arsenal player, owes the fans.
Togo is poor? What does that matter… he is not funding the government… I probably cost £10k to build a house out there… once your family is paid up… you’re done. Lets not buy into the charitable Ade hype…
It is not his sentiment we are pissed off about BB
It is the way he did it,
If he came out and said unfortunately Arsenal can not meet my pay demands, so I am going to go and play for someone that can then fine
But he has repeatedly come out saying there was no problem and he was perfectly happy…
And I am a Pro Ade fan. I dont hate him for wanting to leave, but I hate him for the Adebayor Ego inflated TV charade that happened yesterday. Maybe he was jealous that Cesc got his own show.
I think Ethan was right earlier when he said he could understand Hleb. At least he just came out with it albeit with a bit of bollocks about not liking big cities.
TA6 – u must be having us on. if he aint good enough for liverpool he sure as hell aint good enough for us. he would be nothing more then cover for our other strikers.
not only that i dont think he fits in to out brand of football
TA6… no slagging your own buddy.
yes i agree he shouldnt of said it…..hes just after more money thats not a crime.ok sell him and then we have tofind someone else….the that player will prob have to come from abroad and take a while to find his feet in the prem that could mean another trophey less season…..i really dont want that. i want this team to stay together because we wasnt far off last season…..arsenal fans cant you see that.
Raif – I accept your point, but wasn’t Bergkamp not good enough for Inter, Viera not good enough for Milan and Henry not good enough for Juve. Yes I think he is defineatley an Arsenal type player
I will explain a bit more BB
I was watching SSN yesterday, and once the first press conference was finished I though fucking superb, at least we have put that one to bed…. Well done Ade for coming out and re-assuring the fans, great bit of loyalty.
Then an hour later SSN announced it on the hour “It was the news Arsenal fans were waiting to hear……But Wait……he appears to have changed his mind” suddenly in one to ones he is infact talking about going to Milan. Ok they were leading questions but he did not deny them…far from it.
Pedro, no its not good to make rash judgements, but this will happen every summer now with Ade, unfortunately his Ego will see to that. I think part of that conference was almost aimed to force Wenger’s hand.
how was bedfordshire pedro?
Only one replacement for Adebayor, thats Benzema he would be brilliant
ITS REALLY SIMPL E NOW,
WENGER TO SAY TO BARCA,
ADEBAYOR, FOR ETO,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH..
cant wait to hear what le boss says tonight,
Ade You are a stupid, Greedy Disloyal ,Cunt, hope you get the arsenal curse when you leave ,
One Season Ago Pal you signed a new Deal,
The thing that saddens me is
The Words Have come staright form your stupid Gob , not from your agent ,or a fleet street hack.
YOU HAVE SHOWN YOU HAVE NO CLASS,
A WONDERFULLY GIFTED 20 YEAR OLD IS SHOWING YOU HOW TO BEHAVE LIKE A TRUE PRO,
And he’s doing it on the big stage infront of bllions..
CESC IS KING !!!!
This is what Ade thinks of us
“Don’t moan, you’ll be making millions when you sell me.”
“It won’t be a difficult decision. If Arsenal sell me, they are going to get £40m, maybe £47m and they bought me for £7m.
“So everyone is getting the benefits. They have to make a good decision and I have to make a good decision as well.”
Seriously if we are getting 40m for him, I would personally chauffer him to Milan.
On one hand many Arsenal fans complain about the lack of loyalty shown by many players (e.g. Flamini) who are lured away with the promise of higher wages. Yet, many would have the club sell itself to an Uzbek oligarch with a questionable past so the club can get money to cater to the same greedy players that we so detest.
Usmanov’s money would likely only be a short term advantage as UEFA and/or FIFA seem determined to institute rules mandating that teams operate within their earning capacity. Chelsea, Liverpool, and Man. United are all carrying huge debt loads which they continue to add to.
Do we Arsenal fans want to see the club sold to Usmanov, only to see it become another soulless club like Chelski, just for the sake of some silverware? I DON’T. I think the team is capable of winning trophies as it stands. It may take us another year or so, but I would rather wait than sellout the teams traditions and history for the sake of a few pieces of silver.
Do you think that Usmanov cares about the club (fans, players, and staff) and what it stands for OR is it just a short term plaything to give Usmanov some legitimacy? BEWARE of Mr. Usmanov and his honey tongued viper David Dein. This is a power play for them, another business deal, not a passion for the club and for what it represents.
I just can’t believe there is so much hype around Ade? He is hardly Thierry is he? Not a patch…
He is just a thick footballer being led by a greedy agent… fuck him, I am just not fussed. He’ll show himself up without a cesc or hleb to feed him.
TA6 – i see ur point but with Viera he was a unkown. no one heard of him before he came to us and there was other players before him in the packing order.
Henry was a Winger at the time and had a few bad seasons same with Bergkamp when he was at Inter. they didnt play well at all. and im puting that down to either the style of football that is plaid in itlay or its not knowing how to get the best out from the player.
But Crouch on the other hand is well known. and done rather well for pool and england but still cant get in the starting line ups of either of them teams. and it would be the same if he came to us.
Canadian… No one wants the Uzbek…
I would take the Yank though.
Evo… it was marvelous!
I would actually rather see Crouch come in if it means that we will have a player that realises a good thing when he has it.
Unbelievable the comments in The Mirror today (I’m assuming they are true). “I will wait for a decison” Well my stupid lumbering oaf of a friend if you are asking for 100+ a week then good day to you sir and don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
I would be more upset if the club gave in because it would seem somewhat that we had been held to ransom. But fundamentally the team needs to be built around Fabregas not Adebayor as such to let him go wouldnt be such a bad thing, especially not for 20+million.
Crouch would be ok, I always get the feeling his appearance makes us all assume that he is rubbish but in fact he is pretty skilllful and definately not as bad a player as some of you have said. But for me there is only one other player that I would 100% back and that would be Roque Santa Cruz, premiership proven and with decent service could be a demon in an arsenal shirt. Let’s not forget RvP either… and of course lets all keep our fingers crossed that he finds his fitness!
Canadian Gooner – there is NO WAY IN HELL i would want us to sell some Russian slut
we dont want people like that near our club. Kronke on the other hand is a Real Sports man so i can allow that,
im not interested in Usmanovs money i dont think anybody is….cant see that happening. maybe kronkae is a good idea after all the guy loves his sport and owns a soccer team in the U.S.
I like that pavlechenko if adebayor was to go……cant really believe this crap about peter crouch…pls tell me its not gonna happen.
p.s. I dont think we would become souless like Chelsea if we sold up to Usmanov, let’s not forget Chelsea never had a soul to begin with!!
That said there is something about him I don’t like, but I believe Dwe have lost something in not having Dein there, I get the impression he had the knack of convincing players that they were in the best place they could possibly be!
BARTY CROUCH NO FUCKING WAY !!!!!!!!
i cant believe any one would consider him an arsenal player
NOT FUCKING GOOD ENOUGH ,END OFF!!!
BB, Is this a business, oh! shit I thought it was just footy. For fucks sake, I dont follow Telstra, or BHP, I follow Arsenal, but now it is apparaently a business, well I might just say go & get fucked business, coz the Ades of the world are fuck’n cunts. Go fuck your self Ade & helb. NOW!!!!! Where has my team gone.
“You are my Arsenal, my only Arsenal. You make me happy when skys are grey”
No offence BB!!! This is a slag off @ the mercenaries of the Club.
go the wallabies
EVO ,SORRY MATE EGG CHASING IS BORING ,MINORITY SPORT,
No real Arenal fan want jabba, and as for Dein, you only hear from him if he thinks there is potential for unrest among the fans and hopes to win votes among us. Anyone who supports red and white is a moron or totnum scum. It would be our darkest day if these two got control. I think our board have done a fantastic job, obviously none of it would be possible without AW. I think Kronke’s appointment to the board will bring stability.
BREAKING NEWS – Huntellar has refused a new contact at Ajax. Is he the Ade replacement?
its better than league
Evo, Oh there you are, I’ve chucked footy, now just follow footie.
Spuds make me laugh – they are linked with Crouch, Cant Ramos think for himself instead of going after those who are linked with us……………
If we sign Crouch, we would have two English internaitionals in our team,
How happy would we all be then……
I wouldnt, Id be a miserable as sin if he joins us,
On the other hand, just how many goals would Crouch score if he played for us, he is good with his head, feet and can turn well – and you Guys all seem to love his missus.
Anyone think he just maybe the EPL player!!!!???????????????/
;(
yeah i thought u must have been out bbq’ing something or you had cracked i?
Just preordered Me and my brothers new home shirts for this season im getting Vela 12 on the back hes getting Fabregas 4, let’s hope they shine next season
TREZE13 – iv preorderd mine aswell with ” AKB ” on the back
lol what number? can u get zero on the back?
I can’t believe this bloody Ade crap. What the fuck goes on in his head. Does he really care about the fans. You know, really, I’ve got to say, when I used to here that Adebayor give him the ball etc that is a slur on the other players. This bloke was idolised, yet he has the front to stick it up the fans with ” oh I don’t know, I think I could do better.
Come on cobber. Show the fans some respect. I’ll give you the same respect now as i give that cunt Mugabe.
I’m not getting a shirt until I know what number Villa will be given!!!!!!!!!!
Joke, 4 and Cesc as always
Ethan, what can I say.
TREZE13 – LOL yes thats what i was thinking aswell lol
Sandman,
I take your point about Chelski. However, if Usmanov can buy out one of the other major shareholders the club is his. This is why the club are now actively courting Stan Kroenke.
I would have had Flamini on my shirt, ooh well, will just have to choose between Cesc and Gael
No Russian please, Stan the man though will bring something good in. And he is a sportman, and shrewd business man
That bloke in the avatar said he had a certain swagger when he celebrated a goal, coz he felt he did it for the fans. He did every boys dream, he jumped the fence & played for the club he loved, & some of his mates were in the crowd. Who do you do it for Ade????? Don’t say your fuckin family back in Togo coz I don’t give a fuck about them.
You know its quite sad where I am with Ade @ the moment, coz it might just be his stink’n fuck’n agent that does his talking. But you are too stupid to stand up to him, or gutless. Its going to take a shit load for you to be back in my good books sunshine.
Sorry Geoff/Pedro but I’ve had enough. Just moderate me next time I’ll get the message.
Loyalty is a thing of the past in football, its become a revolving door sport where money dictates your next step. Untill we match the pay of the big european teams we will always loose our top players. but on the other hand 30 million for Adebadonkey is certainly worth taking.
If Villa does come then im getting a long sleeve one with his name………….. fans can dream i guess.
Ades problem is hes a greedy ungrateful ba**ard look at Cesc we have all seen what that the boy genius can do week in week out now he has emerged as a world class player on a big stage.
Do you see him holding the club over a barrel and trying to rape it??? no same as Clichy and Bac Toure & Gilberto proud to be one of us.
Hleb Ade I offer my services to you to help you pack and move house im sure im not alone in that.
Lost my piggy again, lost interest with Ade and Helb, off to watch some cricket,
We will probably lose that too – TTFN
Cesc may be loyal now, but do you actually think he will stay once AW leaves?
Why do so many of you want Villa next season, it’s another risky option. He is obviously a great player but would we benefit from buying him. Should RvP stay fit (and I know that’s a big should) isn’t it better to take the little and large option.
We are also forgetting Bendtner, several important goals and a handful of assists at 19 yrs old is something to look forward to. And I hate to sound like AW but we have more signings than on paper if you look at Vela, Eduardo, Ramsey, RvP, Rosicky, Nasri (I assume).
Sell Ade for 20+ and Hleb for 15+, get Roque for around 12 and a good Centre back and I think we will be ok!
Morning all.
How come when a player refuses to play in two games and refuses to go out on loan and is a total pain in the ass we should keep him and put him in the reserves (were he would refuse to play),
Yet two other players who want more money after they have had a pretty good season can fuck off???
I want Villa for one reason him Eduardo and RVP are not likely to all be injured at the same time so we would have at least on fit world class striker at all times
then again never know with our luck
I was just wondering if anyone has the link to the EXACT interview with Ade done with Sky news reporters…cause i have a strange feeling he DID NOT say what the press wants us to believe. Hleb in my opinion is probably going to say in the next few days that he never wanted to leave arsenal and all that shit cause barcelona have decided to get Arshavin instead.
If Ade does leave i dont think Wenger will get a replacement. There just arent enought talent and cheap players for his liking
He did say it… I watched the interview on SSN…
If he DID say it then i have nothing more to say. We should sell him for the money. he would be missed though. I guess Wenger will buy someone like Santa Cruz or even make Bentdner a starting striker
Pedro what is the diffeence between Diarra, Hleb and Ade It’s not friday so it isn’t the start of a joke?!!
oh hi pedro, Jamie T is good and a nice change of pace from most of my music thanks for the recommendation
Do you not get a 3rd/4th playoff in the Euros
That was my banker for a few beers in front of the football later but I cant find any listings
Diarra wanted to play, the other 2 want to play somewhere else for more money
So who should be made to rot in the stiffs more in your opinion michael?
ade is a prick.
(as much as i adore the 30 goals last season but does he know what he want?)
he is as good as gone if he really did have that chat with seedorf.
btw did dein ask arsene to spend? …good luck on that !
No problem Treze.
No playoff? Shit… I was banking on that as well!
I just read the Mail… that interview is bizarre.
To me it sounded like this…
‘I’ll stay if I have to, I love the club. But if Arsene accepts the £50mill… I’ll happily go.’
Did you know he hasn’t even watched Barca or Milan play… he reckons he doesn’t know their style!
You have to laugh at him…
No need to slag Ade off…you lot never liked him anyway..in fact most of you hate him…it’s dissapointing he wants to leave but he had too many haters amongst his own fans…he could not have been too comfortable with that..I ain’t making a case for him..but the amount of hate some fans poured on him did not help matters..do not kid yourself into thinking that fabregas and van persie will remain at Arsenal all through their careers…as long as we continue with the current wage structure and not win trophies we will be in danger of losing other top players..
fabregas will end up at Barca or Real in another 2 to 3 seasons …the reason why there hasn’t been a long queue of clubs after van persie is because of history of injuries..if gets through next season without serious injury then he’s off too as he has already stated this season that Arsenal do not pay their top players enough..
So do not slam Ade too hard..
Face it !!! we have unwwittingly become a selling club…until we pay up for the new stadium which will free up funds we will continue to lose our top players to the likes of Barca,Real and Milan!!
If I were his agent I would have been furious with Adebayor initial statements. I would tell him he’s just blown his chances of a pay rise. you need them to think you might leave if we don’t get a good deal.
In any case Ade has made a great contribution to our team, if he was to leave for the kind if figures quoted it would not bother me.
In reality Arsenal is the party control of the situation.
I think sell ade get anyone (santa cruz maybe) swap hleb for yaya
What is the difference between ManU/ Ronaldo and Arsenal/Adebayor?
Does that make Man U a selling club too?
The stadium is on a fixed rate 23 year loan as far as i am aware so it should never affect the wage structure, we just give the wrong players too much and the ones that deserve it too little..
Well said David…
What about Barca for getting rid of Eto’o and Ronnie…
top players you say? we’ll see…
Adebayor, Adebayor………..show him a “score” and he’ll head for the door.
Asebayor, Adebayor………..we don’t wanna see you at Arsenal no more.
anaconda – i totally disagree with your views on Cesc, by the time AW goes – if he goes (and it will be his doing if he does) THOF will have silverware, great players either bought or having come through the reserves – Barazite, Merida, Vela, Wilshere, Sunu, Lainsbury, Gibbs and many more -and then with the likes of Theo, Clichy, Bac, Nik etc, there will not be a definate reason for him to leave.
Just because AW may go, another great boss could come in, so many could by then be in the frame
Tony Adams
Dennis Bergkamp
Van Basten
Hiddink
Bilic
All of whom will continue to play good football
Cesc is on a good wage, a wage that reflects his play and attitude, and I for one dont expect him to turn his back – not unless AFC muck things up big time
The old stadium used to pay the wages of DB10, TH14, SC23 PV4. etc Now we make more profit on a matchday after we paid the loan we can only afford Ramsey, and Nasri and he wanted more money it don’t add up!
according to a member in arsenal-mania forums called swish who is a good poster and been there very long;
There seems to be a secret medical lined up for next week. According to a good source at the club who I got to know during my FA days is saying that Robin Van Persie gave a tour of London and Ashburton Grove to Wesley Sneijder and his agent a couple of days ago.
From what I have been told, Real Madrid are willing to take £25m for one of their better players last season to recoup some money for an impending Ronaldo bid.
I can only presume that he will be drafted in as a replacement for Hleb, but either way, he’ll definitely add something to our squad depth. We’ll have to wait and see methinks, my mate has been wrong before but then, he has also been right before as well.
If it’s a straight replacement for Hleb, then I’d definitely be happy with the swap, at least Sneijder can provide better assists and goals than Hleb ever could.
now wouldnt that be just fabulous.
Anaconda, I follow The Arsenal. I have stuck by Ade until yesterday. I did not force him/his agent to carry on like he has. Those on Le Grove who “slagged’ Ade off are vindicated as far as I’m concerned . I was wrong for supporting him.
gunnerf – now that would be awesome news, what day is the medical ‘supposed’ to be, any idea??
….Cheers Pedro/Geoff I’m not in moderation.
Why do these people come on here make a point, you reply to there point then you here no more of them they must read the replies, at least argue or admit you were wrong..
Sneijder has an evil look in his eyes like a crazy man. I like him
im not sure yet rico..
this is his second post after i asked him if the source was trustworthy..
i ain’t sure of anything about this rumour wolverine( gunner_fever ), just passing on what I heard. Personally, I reserve judgement until an official statement is announced.
Just thought I’ll let everyone on here dissect to kingdom come and back, seeing as what this forum is ridiculously good at.
————————————————————————————-
that was his second post
this is what van persie said last season in an interview for arsenal.com
Sneijder hailed Van Persie as “one of the best players at Arsenal” and his compatriot was quick to repay the compliment.
“I like Wesley as a person and even more as a player,” said Van Persie. “I’ve been playing for the national team for two years now and he has been playing for the national team a bit longer, and I always like to play alongside him.
“He is always looking forward, he’s always trying to make things happen. He is like an Arsenal player. Arsenal players always look forward and want to make the game.
“Wesley is a player like that and I think he made the right decision to stay one more year [at Ajax] and get everything out of it. He can achieve nice things and it is good for Ajax too to have him.”
I’ve never liked Adebayor. His past antics and his body language did not sit well with me. I made a point of never joining in with that moronic chant that was started at Fulham away last season just because I knew e was a grade A twat and would feck off as soon as he could.
That arrogance allied to his shitty technique means he is comfortably my most hated Arsenal player ever.
Gunner fever, are these your cousins? Check out the hair.
BB, I agree, I think people are being too harsh on Ade. Yes he is under contract but players get bought out all the time! Hell, most of the players we are being linked with are under contract! Ade is on 30K a week. His conversion rate last season (his first season as our primary striker )was only maginally less than Torres. AC Milan/Barca are willing to pay him over 80K a week. He has to do what is best for him and his family! People say he’ only had one good season. Well, you can say the same about Nasri, Benzema, even Arshavin…remember this was he’s 1st season as our primay striker.
why would you say that gnarleygeorge9
gnarley – there is only so much any of us fans/followers can take. Had the one ‘im staying’ interview been given yesterday, I think most would forgive him for employing a twat of an agent, but he was the one, not his sgaent who came out with the two i/vs, all words were from his mouth – for that I think he is just plain stupid, and shows nothing but disrespect for AFC, his colleagues, and us fans.
Whatever AW thought before yesterday, I think he has no choice but to sell him, and quickly. Replace him with a proven goal score with pace.
That for me is unforgiveable – and my pictures, are coming down !!
And actually, dont bite my head off, but if Crouch or Santa Cruz are bought and give us 30 goals next season, together with 10 from Theo and Nik – 15 – 20 from RvP & Dudu (injuries allowing)- would we really that badly off. Also, we could well see a few goals from Vela, Thomas, and other midfield players….
Its not all doom and gloom – we just need Ade and Hleb sold now and replaced
If Ade broke his leg last year would he have asked for a pay cut?
anyone in particular david??
Again Southafrica Gooner
I have no real problems in him leaving to to do whats best for himself and his family.
But did you see the Adebayor Circus yesterday, it was embarrasing for both himself and the club and like I said earlier, he has now alienated another chunk of Arsenal fans by his actions. Not because he wants to move but because for me he showed Arsenal and more importantly us fans a complete lack of respect.
And i for one am thinking more and more that yesterdays charade was a planned event to alienate fans and force Wengers hand.
pedro.. a contract is an agreement within a context
the context of football in 2008 means that if a player wants to leave, he is in a powerful position to do so.. in the same vein as English courts throwing out prenuptial agreements these days .. despite them being contracts, they are worthless
pat.. I actually think that Ade is unusually frank .. he will make the club money and he knows as well as everybody else that there are no charities around for bankrolling our existence on this sad planet
if I was him or Flamini, I would try and maximize my revenue as well and orchestrate a move away..again, he is also taking a risk on..we shouldnt over elaborate on the technicalities.. its virtually impossible to leave without creating confusion .. and the club plays to this as well
gnarley.. mate .. you are entitled to be a romantic.. this doesnt mean that everybody else has to be that way
Evra’s move to Europe meant sleeping rough in Italy .. Ade’s move from Togo probably meant a few hardships as well on the long and dangerous and lonely way out of misery and desolation
I can understand that all of you want our players to say that they love our club
but I dont care .. I want results..top players..no loyalty against “I turned you into a world class player bullshit”..
and btw, there are still a lot of casulaties around in terms of who makes the grade.. neither Arsenal nor anybody else is a charity sponsoring incompetence..again I support Ade in that sense
we only use our victim’ s face when it suits us .. not when we kick players out as we do every year
the only thing I dont want is us short selling players this season .. as this will be the most expensive transfer period ever.. and 30MM quid might not buy us much
and if he stayed on, and scored goals, I would still be happy and couldnt care less if he was 2 minutes from leaving or not .. what I dont want to stomach is failure to win trophies under current setup Fiszman/Wenger + Kroenke .. that I had enough of ..
bring Dein back .. he knows how to win .. and to play the game!!!!!!!!
Just trying to get a reaction from someone you answered as well Rico but they have no answer.
Good to see yer piggie safely back in it’s avatar!!
Oh and rumour earlier about Sneijder
I wish, the guy is superb.
G fever, That Wesley has a crazy look, or Boogie fever? If its boogie fever, well, I don’t know, when gunner fever came up I immediately thought of Boogie fever by the Sylvers. I’m in a crazy mood. No offense meant.
David….Would any Arsenal player ask for a pay cut if they broke a leg???
Why did DD leave??
Why should DD come back??
Should we get Anelka back??
so ade bulged the net 30 times on his first season as a primary striker.
can he better that tally WITHOUT the arsenal set up?
thanks david, i do miss my piggie
lol none taken gnarley mate
Because a contact works two ways for the employer and the employee.
When a player plays well he wants to quadruple his money(ade) would he ask for a pay cut if he is unable to play or plays crap..
i dont think that would be the case david coz it never happened with henry when he was injured most of the season prior to him leaving and the same with ronaldinho and barca last season.
You can’t compare a prenup and a contract? Prenups are not legally binding… they never have been… they are just considered.
The fact is, if we don’t let him go, he legally has to say. He has accepted that. You can talk about hardships all you want, but the fact is, he has been earning more than most of us since he was 15… so he has done alright.
No one is playing the victim… we just expect some loyalty from our overpaid stars. We also don’t worry about the players we sell… they make fantastic livings elsewhere doing something they love.
We allow these players to make a living… if we stop watching… they stop earning… So a bit of respect isn’t too much to ask, is it?
pat
We seem to always be in the black (and a lot in the black) when the transfer windows closes.
He needs to invest all of it this year including the money we make on players and the cash we already had available
can you really see him re-spending all the money with so many kids itching to have a go !
he will buy 1 or 2 again , and float the rest with kids !!!
ades money will go south and disappear into the stadium repayments basket , that so much other transfer money has disappeared into in the past .. its all to predictable and sad !!!
But i agree if he wants to regain a winning mentality , he needs to spend this supposed 25 million clear we had plus the 7-8 million for hleb ( i hope 12) and 20 + for ade !
we should have over 50 mil to spend ! and i aint no mathematician .
my wife is however
Cheers, G Fever
Just stick it in… in my opinion…
no
I see it this way: if last year someone was telling us that Adebayor, Hleb (and Flamini) would be sold for lots of money we would have been VERY happy.
Now they all had one good season and this would be the end of the world ?
Don’t think so.
Gunner fever, I was being ironic to make a point..
Pedro correct mate, we gave them the stage to improve themselves we just want a bit of respect back.
If £35,000 a week isn’t enough why didn’t he fuck off then instead of signing the contract??
thank you Pedro, now i can breath easy.
the reason we get pissed off is that for all their money for some reason some of the highest paid players unfortunatly decide to have a labotomy with a Goat!!!
ADE was taping his badge on the shirt when he scored last season ,saying a lot of positive things about the club and supporters ,Hleb the same , we know that if a bigger offer comes along players will look into it, what gets under our skin is that they never tell the truth ,if as a player you are happy or unhappy ,try honesty ,rather han SPIN !
In the Case for CESC he has always said that one day he would go back to spain to play ,I can understand that as he is a proud spaniard , and lets not kid ourselves even if we win things CESC WILL BE ABLE TO WRITE OUT HIS OWN PAYCHECKS AT ANY CLUB IN THE WORLD ,
MY PROBLEM IS NOT US SELLING THESE TWO (ade,hleb)ARSEHOLES ,ITS WHAT WE ALL GUESS WENGER WILL DO WITH THE MONEY,
VILLA, ETO, YAYA, SILVA, ,YES PLEASE , BUT HOW MANY OF US REALLY BELIEVE THAT Wenger will go after these top ready made players as most of us say we are crying out for Ready made top international players NOW!!!
Not in 4 years time when Wenger will not be at the club…..
BB, We are all romantic when it comes to the Goons. Everyone has a remember when we won the …..or wasn’t it great the day Arsenal did the……. But unfortunately there appears to be a certain % of the players who don’t have that romance for The Club. Well thats where I become a realist & say. Either you are prepared to say in front of your playing group I am commited, or you must go!!!!
140,000 a month – takes most of us more than 3-4 years to earn that amount, and we dont all ‘love’ our jobs
Probably doesnt have to buy any sportswear
Earns more with his sponsor and rights
Ungratefull bastard – piss off !
Grovers we won’t be around for a while so I hope you all have fun. Hasta luego
If you break your leg while in action you still deserve to get paid…there is no issue about that, if you are injured in the line of duty, you deserve compensation for the hardship caused, if it is a result of an action outside of work it’s an entirely different matter.
I was prepared to give Adebayor a chance, and i don’t have a problem with someone leaving, but I do when they go about it in a dishonest and disrespectful way.
Adebayor:
“Don’t moan, you’ll be making millions when you sell me.”
It’s not all about the money Ade, it’s about a way of life, despite the sums on offer, the club wanted you to stay and paid you the greatest of tributes last week, we listened to you, supported you and your answer is too non-chalant for me. I thought you were committed, that of course you wanted a pay rise, who doesn’t but that you’d negotiate
a deal to keep you here because playing for Arsenal was also something dear to you.
I understand your circumstances and can sympathise with your childhood, mine was
also a tale of economic hardships, but i know full well that’s a poor excuse for the way you’ve chosen to behave.
“It won’t be a difficult decision. If Arsenal sell me, they are going to get £40m, maybe £47m and they bought me for £7m.
“So everyone is getting the benefits. They have to make a good decision and I have to make a good decision as well.”
When you’re a little bit older and hopefully a little bit wiser, I don’t think you’ll be proud of what you said.
BB said:
“he is perfectly entitled to go to a club that pays him more money
why do Arsenal supporters think that one should love Arsenal to play for them
this is business.. Arsenal players are mates to the extent that they see each other every day and work for the same firm .. thats all.. forget the rest
do you think Nasri joins because he loves Arsenal??
NO.. its a biz decision based on his current ability versus his aspirations
we are not competitive in paying salaries to players, so we will have players leaving us..simple..”
Everyone has rights, the question is when to take advantage of them and what for.
If it’s about the money, one shouldn’t pretend that it’s about anything else, and one shouldn’t attempt to deceive those who helped them. Honesty and not mincing your word is crucial. Once you decide to take on a job, you are commited to it unless there are circumstances which prevent you from doing so, either caused by you or a third party. No such incident has occured at Arsenal, you remain committed and when you no longer have the heart to play for the team, say so and make your move, don’t bullshit us and abuse our trust, if there’s a problem lets try and deal with it and if we can’t, lets shake hands and HONOURABLY part company.
If The Arsenal is to achieve what we the fans hope to achieve(4 cups in one year hopefully) its got to be one for all, and all for one, otherwise we are only as good as our weakeast link, & as i write its Ade & Hleb. Either they TOTALLY commit, & yesterday was a real eye opener for me with regard to Ade, or they must be cast off. Go you now, we need to move on quickly to achive our success.
hear this grovers;
Spanish based journalist said on TV the other night that Real Madrid are in financial trouble!They are defering loan payments for players and are also spending TV money that hasnt even started.He also said that there could be an exodus of players because of a spiraling wage bill.
so maybe the sneijder rumour could come true.
G Fever, If only. Could the football world be finally spared of these football wage escalating bastardos
Ethan, where the %&#$ are you?
Hasta Luego? I just googled that term & it sounds all sentimental. Pedro what are you up to?
gnarley the journalist is sid lowe of the guardian who also works for real madrid tv so i guess it must be true and they have the likes of robben,robinho,drenthe,baptista who they might sell to accomadate the massive wage bill c.ronaldo will bring in and maybe sneijder could also be sold if c.ronaldo is a definate signing and the only club sneijder would like to play for would be us as his best mate rvp is an arsenal boy.
just imagine if this summer wenger realy hopefuly bought david villa,sneijder,nasri and a good centre back………i would be over the moon as i do have a lot of faith in aging gilberto who i believe could still return to his top form like he did end of last season……but the centre back problem has no exception and it has to be sorted out i hope wenger aint that dumb to make the same mistake he did last season.
Thats the most positive news I’ve heard today/tonight G Fever. Sneijder has hungry look in his eyes. He’s not the one that RVP had a stoush with though is he?
apparently gnarley he is the one that rvp tackled and sneijder was thought to be injured but later recovered and came out and said that it was not at all rvp’s fault and it was an accident and he also said rvp shouldnt be blamed.
Sell Ade and dont buy a replacement, we have Bendtner and i guarantee you guys now, he will do what Ade did, come from no where and score plent of goals. I think he is more clinical than Ade too.
Watch out for Bendtner next season.
Wenger needs to stop buying these fuckings retards of players who comes from Togo, Belarus, or where the fuck ever, and rather look at players close to home.
Look at players who knows what responsibility, lojality and the meaning of a contract is. Fuck it, Wenger should even hire a full time psychologist and fucking analyse every potensial signing before any contract is signed.
I’m so fucking tired of this shit. Get rid of Adebawhore and Hleb and make a point in the dressing room. NO ONE is leaving unless they’re out of contract. If they want to leave, fuck them, let them rot in the reserves, or under-18′s.
Arsene Wenger might have made som incredible signings (not Ade and Hleb), but he’s a fucking pussy. He’s taking the gentleman expression WAY to far.
GET SOME BALLS AND SAY ‘FUCK OFF AND ROT’, ARSENE
Actually for the 1st time in my recent Arsenal history I’ve come to terms about life without Adebayor , he is a bore, your press conferences make me snore, fuck off you whore!!! There are more fish in the sea, & Big Wes is one of them.
….Dan that too.
pedro.. to the point .. a prenup was a contract that was legally binding until English courts created a new CONTEXT and started to throw them out ..
thats what I meant..
football is in a state of flux and so are relationships between clubs and their players.. and right now, with new European legislation etc,.. power has shifted to the latters with or without elaborate contracts..
rico ..its virtually impossible to leave any place without creating confusion.. Ade would still be unsure from an emotional point of view.. you cant fault him for this..we shouldnt be too harsh on people..
its not as if he has lost his heart and desire to play for us.. I was in a very similar position in my life and would have wanted to stay, but my employer was unable to match my salary expectations and despite valuing my competence very highly..
I had to go as I would not have made the money even though I knew that the place I was going to was far from perfect, but they paid me good dosh..
there was a lot of confusion at the time .. and nobody was happy..
at least, here, and Ade is right about this, the club will make tons of money
we should stop kidding ourselves about the training for loyalty bullshit..
my fear is that the current biz model is based on developing talent to sell it on later to pay for our debt
and to us the fans, its sold as the ultimate youth development project where every player would want to stay forever out of his love for Arsenal and Arsene..
thats a spin that Wenger and our PR gurus use all the time.. to me it sounds hollow and it doesnt work as we are now seeing ..
building a winning team doesnt hinge on developing youngsters with undying love for Arsenal ..
Wenger should buy Eto’o who is a far better striker than Ade .. even at 27 .. so what, we get 3 good years out of him and move on ..
Arsenal has made us slaves of this transition bullshit .. one day.. yeah, one day ..
and btw, for all of you who claim that players should be happy with the fortunes they earn, its open to all of us to become professional players .. and enjoy the advantages of it.. how many make it .. and how many fail .. we all know the answer to that question
thats where the team doesn’t compete – not on the ability to spend millions to buy players but on the current salaries being touted for the top players. Anyone who puts on an Arsenal top automatically in the eyes of other teams becomes a ‘top’ player
BB, What you say is 100% correct, but I doubt whether anyone other than those close to you follow you like a fan. Ok! It is a business, but nothing says I have to be interested in a footballers fortune. Its just that i have a passion for a Club & I can’t help myself.
If footballers are now saying what your saying that they want elaborate contracts well, we are at the fork in the road as far as the game is concerned. I cannot relate to some one who says I want £120,000/week or I shall go to a “business” that will pay me that. And at the next “Feed Africa’ concert an Adebayor type gets up on stage and says put your hands in your pocket you should help these people, what the Fuck.
*you = money grabber like Ade.
well said gnarley,
SPOT ON!
ade says arsenal would get 50 million pounds for selling him…what?????
He is all confused about whether to sing the loyalty song next time he faces a interview or the one his agent wrote him.
Seriously those of you who think Bendtner can do well in Ade’s role lets not forget he has an ego comparable to the togoman. I would like vela and walcott to take up the striking partnership next season…… and I would bank on dudu rather than RVP to make a marvellous comeback.
Guys like vela , walcott, fabregas, clichy, sagna who tend to keep their feet on ground with every battle won are the ones who deserve the arsenal colours….
Giving theo no. 14 is an indication that wenger has already had enough about Ade thing…. I have no doubts now that he will be sold.
The problem is The clubs survive on the loyalty of there fans, the players want the money that the loyalty brings.
When the players stop showing loyalty, the fans will lose interest as they are taken for a financial ride and the whole system will crumble.
The buyers of the season tickets and boxes were fans recruited years ago when they were young (and clubs had some stability and loyalty) and they are now in a position where they can afford more money but there could be a downward spiral if this is the way football is going..
BB/pedro
I said it at the start of the blog , all players are merc’s nowadays ..
And BB i dont blame ade , he’s a greedy toss who wants more money ,
arsenal have to put up or shut up ..
Wenger being wenger is hopefully smart enough to build ade up , yet be more than willing to let him go .
almost like a circus act !
(more probably like an Emmy award !)
it will make the Italian job look like a kindergarten party !
What i do have a problem with thou BB , is his insistence to to remain loyal!!!
feeding bullshit to the Sun tabloid to squash rumors that where INDEED true !,
and statements of loyalty ,he’s been talking to TH14 alright !!
if theres even a slight chance your going to leave for more money to another club ( which is obviously the case ) Dont be fuckin stupid enough to come out and preach BS loyalty to AFC prior to leaving.
And that is what people on here are on about !
You know my stance on flamini also ! we both knew he was going to leave !
money talks and bullshit walks !
my problem is not that arsenal cant pay for ades pay rise ( well it is a problem )
but my immediate problem is dont come out and feed the fans bullshit if your just going to leave !
there is such a phrase as NO COMMENT !
wenger must use it all the time !
ade should make note of it and put it in his tool box !
I just caught the end of the Nelson Mandela live thing on the tele. He’s 90 years old. I’ve said to many Christians over the past few years that they have been waiting for the second coming, but while “our” official reps have been looking in all the wrong places, he has already arrived. Nelson Mandela is the 2nd coming. No need to wait any longer. Our Lord Mandela please release those suffering in Zimbabwe.
ikon ..most football players have egos.. they have to .. otherwise you dont succeed ..
how big was TH14 ‘ ego??
btw the players are not responsible for 2day’s inflated salaries.. its the TV + sponsor money
gnarley.. blame it on your mate Robert ..
.. surely he doesnt know much about footie, does he?? .. also, by elaborate contracts, I didnt mean that players wanted them .. what I meant was that in the current context, contracts are not worth much anymore if a guy wants to leave .. thats all .. however elaborate these contracts might be ..
BB, Do you mean Rupert?? as in TV rights?
Dan – if Bendtner comes on and does better than Ade, other teams will offer him a higher salary to more than double, so he’d wanna go too. What would anyone do if headhunted and offered more than double their salary plus compensation for the company their leaving?? Can see this being another Anelka saga and I think Ade will flop elsewhere too….That’ll just be good for AFC in doing the right business deal, so maybe other big clubs will finally in the future leave our stars alone. If not, whilst Arsene is there, we’ll keep stinging them!
BB if you mean Rupert Murdoch & Sky he has had nothing to do with Italian or Spanish footie, so where do they get their money from. Old Murdsie is only interested in the Old Country, OZ & the USA when it comes to tele.
He was a year late selling Henry though 5am cost the club about £30 million in wages and transfer fee’s.
GG9 – I thought he was talking about Zimbabwe..
if u r as pacy and clinical as henry u are free to have the biggest ego in the world…. if you are bendtner and have got everything to prove in the whole footballing world including getting out of the way of a goal bound effort by fabregas….. you can’t have it. thts the point… Ade and bendtner have became the biggest players of all times in their heads already.
Is this the 2nd coming for The Arsenal?
DavidDein_986760
ethan .. I dont think that the confusion coming from Ade is malicious at all
its actually quite normal .. human in fact..
he is leaving a club that he most probably likes from his heart
and I repeat myself .. that doesnt mean that he cannot or should not leave such a place..
and this does not make him greedy .. if Arsenal were paying him money that visibly a range of other clubs are offering him, then he would stay ..
and he is taking the risk of underperforming and his career nosediving.. so its NOT a one way street
now David .. I consider football these days to be more like the old Roman games in the Colisseum.. us fans should take events with a pinch of salt .. please look at Arsenal’s corporate comms strategy.. its total disinformation from the darkest ages of communism .. same on the Arse TV
so what if football goes down the drain because of its own greed .. worse has happened to the world .. I dont want to appear as the ultra cynic btw, but these days Murdoch is running clubs as much as the party apparatchiks from UEFA and FIFA..football stinks a lot.. but its fabulous entertainment..thats why we love it..
and we provide the best entertainment through the football we play.. with or without Ade/Flam/Cesc/Hleb/TH14 etc .. probably despite Ade .. n’est-ce pas ethan..
Forget it, no link sorry.
BB, as much as I don’t like to admit this, I must say, David Dein is right. Don’t get upset, get better. We must stay ahead of the pack & bring in a Usmanov to ensure The Club does stay ahead of the pack. I don’t want Arsenal to drop lower than Spurs, so what ever it takes. But I do want the players to be 100% loyal.
BB you are pretty much spot on and I agree with your view, but I think you see football more than just an entertainment otherwise you wouldn’t spend so much time on a blog about a club whose first real entertainment is over six weeks away.
Clubs are using brand loyalty right down to credit cards and insurance they are no different from Tesco’s.
It would not really affect me in any way if Arsenal ceased trading (probably be better I wouldn’t spend so much time on the computer) but it would be a shame!
I’m going to see this to 200 then I’m going to crash.
gnarleygeorge9 be really careful what you wish for. Having an usmanov means being someones toy. Managers last 5 minutes. They interfere. They do it for thier ego. And everything I’ve read about him say’s he’s dodgy. Same as shinawatra. He sacked sven for Hughes ffs
BB I agree with you ..a lot of people here are just not being realistic with their comments on Ade !!!!!
George has done it, he’s gone to bed.
David .. you have a point .. I do spend too much time supporting Arsenal .. and now that you told so, I will go and enjoy the weather in London ..
Michael, Yes I here you, you are on the ball, but I’ve had a few beers, etc & i am upset about Ade. Night Grovers. Hope I haven’t been too much of a pain in the Arsenal
Ade is an example of football getting further away from the fans, and as you can hear the fans will start to get fed up with it.
He is a greedy two faced tosser but what made him worse was the badge patting and the two faced press conference. of how much he loved Arsenal and wanted to stay.
He would not have got half as much stick if he just shut the fuck up.. and left..
BB
Ade’s agent came out and said he will be speaking to wenger about a pay rise ( after he signed a new 3 year deal ! ) ok 30 goals maybe he wants 10 -15 k more .. but the agent rumored 80k to be in line with club top earners !!!
It was all rumor back then and the cunt denied it ! He ASSURED THE FANS he was going nowhere , and the rumors are ALL bogus !
Then he comes out and says you only move for more money….
The guys a Merc cunt !!! a 3 year contract DEMANDS some loyalty !
Flamini was different he was on a free !!!!
the 1 off signing fee in the sky rocket would be too much 4 any1 to turn down !
Ade hasnt supposedly talked to wenger either !
so he is going out on a rouge mission to get a better salary and barca is a better club !
or so he quoted !( he and his agent have orchestrated this from the start ).
this is a far cry from the suns press release 2-3 weeks ago !
)
2 TIMES ! he claimed loyalty to the club !@ and us fans ! (minus me
ade just should say ‘NO FUCKING COMMENT ‘!
not tell the fans he’s going nowhere ( And BB ive repeated that 2 times )
humanity has nothing to do with it !
the last month the cunts made a fucking fool out of himself !
saying 1 thing and NOW doing another !!!
no fucking excuses!!! we need commitment !
i worked for a company for 7 years ! loyal to friends and my work place when i could of left to get a better paying job elsewhere ! Some players like clichy ,Freddie – bert – cesc- TH14 have got arsenal in there hearts !
like i did , loyalty still exists ! Just some don’t have the correct moral standings
to honor a contract which they started ! and more importantly SIGNED !!!!
Thats the facts ..
His ego is beyond the clubs !
I for one cant wait to see the cunt leave !
at Least i might see some skillful striking and interplay this season without losing the ball every 5 fucking minutes ! , even if we dont win anything again !
Oh and pat , i called for his head ! not sure how many times ive said it …
maybe only 1000 – maybe 2000 times .so i told you so is pretty relevant !
. is it a co-incidence that the only player i dislike is leaving ? or is it common sense that he isnt worth that much to keep around ?!
he is dreaming about how good he is , and has fooled half the fans in the process !
Thats not really telling us so though Ethan, you just hated him from the outset because you did not rate him. but hey that is a petty argument
fact of the matter is, if you look around the Arsenal blogs today, it is quite obvious that Ade has burnt his bridges and even those that did like him have now joined the ‘Ade go fuck yourself’ club.
And I repeat again, it is not just because he wants to move on. If he wants to move for more money, fine by me as long as we get whats due and spend it. It is because he has conducted himself in a pretty fucking appaling manner and I for one never want to see him in an Arsenal shirt again.
It is just a shame that it has all come in one summer as honestly we will not win the premiership next year. There will be too much change in the starting 11 and it will take till Crimbo to gel it together. Best hope is getting through the CL group stages and peaking late on to have a crack at it.
Today’s matching news, check this out, I hope this is not a coincidence and that we’re the ones getting busy:
http://www.setanta.com/en/Sport/News/Football/2008/06/28/Eredivisie-Ajax-on-Huntelaar/?facets/sport-space/football/north-america-locale/
With a release clause of 19.75m you would like to think you could get him around 15m
To be honest I have not really seen him play, has anyone else really watched him a frequent basis?
I suppose the gamble is he could turn out like Glenn Helder or Ruud Van Horseface.
Personally I think if we are to lose Ade and Hleb, I think we need to keep Spanish for a few reasons
one is they are very good
two is it will appease Cesc
three is they have played with Cesc at international level, so will already have a level of understanding. Cesc makes it all tick and this could be the only way to possible challenge. It is the only way I can see us getting a team to gel in time.
So I would go for De La Red, Silva and Villa.
Added to Nasri, and then still bring in a CB and in my mind a keeper.
Hasn’t anyone told Ade about the Arsenal HooDoo if you leave the Club You wont become a better player or play better football NO one EVER does look at Henry,Reyes,Vieira ect
What i want to know is where is all Milans money comming from??
Did Buffon Have a Bet on Italy to loose??
On Kronke coming in at least we might all get a discount at Woolmart or Asda
£19.75 for Huntelaar ??
That’s way too much !!
He’s not worth it AT ALL !
ethan .. I hear you, but all this does not matter to me
I try and take a different look at things .. more detached..
if I was ade, maybe I would have had similar contradictory behaviour patterns
I for once do NOT believe in loyalty..
2 things gave me the shiit last season at the games when I went..number one when people like Ade kiss the Arse badge.. right my son, playing to the gallery again and secondly, the stupid and childish Adebayor songs .. embarrassing to say the least
yes, he is greedy, yes he does say contradictory things, but he is being offered vast amounts of money by a range of clubs.. I think that his behaviour is human..
but why do players have to owe the club anything?? surely not because some of us buy tickets to the games or buy their ridiculously overpriced nd horrendously ugly merchandise..
when Wenger cans all the over 30s, is he exhibiting charitable behaviour??
when Arsenal paid TH14 exorbitant amounts of money to stay, did he respect his own internal rules ..
the answer to all this is NO..
lets go over Ade and lets hope that we will sign world class players like Eto’o and not losers like Francis Jeffers .. thats all I am hoping for..
Hello Pedro/Geoff and Le Grovers
Bit gutted about Ade really. He only signed a new contract last summer and if this is the way he goes about his business to get another then we are better off without him.
If he stays and has another season like last season then by all means reward him with a better contract.
It seems he has got to big for his Adidas boots really. He could become a great player at Arsenal, he must remember that great players do it for years, not just one.
i mixed feeling on this isiew,ade is a good player but is far from the finished article.he is of the same mold is drogba but drogba will score 30 in prem alone every season no question,ade has one good season,and if the stories are true then i say let him go for around 25-30 million of course he is worth any where nere that. ade is luxury player what i mean by that is he can be replaced quite easily ,however if we lost fab it would criple arsenal, to me we have key players in our team that make the club tick like fab,toure,clichy,sanga they are key of players that would be very difficult to replace that why there getting big contracts,players like hleb and ade are good but can be easilty replaced it would criple the team if they left.
i would keep gilberto he will fight to death for arsenalhe is extremly loyal to team,he lost bit of form and got it back towards the end of the season is very experiened he can deal with set plays and we need that wright now.
Huntelaar is Europe’s form striker, who else has a 0.74 career goal ratio running at
0.96 for his club this season, 36 goals for Ajax for the past two seasons.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaas-Jan_Huntelaar
Only a year older than Adebayor.
He is the perfect fit for what we’re looking for, a 1st striker with a precise first touch.
eastcamp
Why isn’t the Hunter worth 19 Mill ?
It’s easy to score a lot for Ajax, as you only have 3 good teams in that league (PSV-Ajax-Feijenoord) and the rest would be all relegated in the EPL..
But like many say, it’s easy to score 30 at Arsenal because of the service you get.
For that money you can probably get someone cheaper who’s better..
Thanks for the stats finestcuts
I agree, the Hunter has been brought up the Ajax way, similar to the Wenger way. He has a great record, he might fit in with RVP and best of all he is Dutch.
The Mancs will probably get him and eastcamp will rue what he said about the Hunter.
eastcamp
IMHO the Prem is the easiest league to score goals in. There are at least 10 rubbish teams in the Prem with only 4 good teams. Huntelaar is also scoring for Holland when he gets picked. Do you think spending 30 mill on Benzema would be a better bet then?
If the dutch league is so inferior why do they consistently get into major finals and do well. The great Engerland always flatter to deceive.
He scores for Holland, Real Madrid and Manyoo are interested in him, and you don’t have to like them, but they know a fair bit about spotting talented footballers, wouldn’t you agree?
Real Madrid are chasing Chrissy. R, Manyoo have Rooney and Tevez, he’d be Saha’s replacement, and we need someone right now.
I don’t say Huntelaar’s not a good player. Only that the price is too high.
The dutch league is way inferior to the EPL !
To how many major finals do they consistently get then ?
Last time was Ajax and that’s 10 years ago.
The dutch national team has nearly no players from their league.
You’re right though that an Ajax player fits easily in the Arsenal way of playing so that would be a good thing.
Just think the price’s not right. Would prefer Villa though.
So do I take it that Dutch players don’t start playing in their own league and that other countrys take them as children. Holland has a tiny population compared to the mighty Engerland.
How many Enger Land players would you put in the Dutch team then. Especially forward players.
The only reason our league is slightly better is because of the foreigners playing in it, take them out and it’s a shower of shit.
I am 100 pc English but I hate the English mentality that is so fucking arrogant. We are laughed at in Europe because they can see and hear the nonsense that our league is superior and it clearly isn’t true. For all the Finals and Semi’s our teams have got into they still lag behind when the European and International trophys are dished out. My comment includes the Eufa cup too.
Don’t hit me with our league is better when a jock team and a Ruski team were in the final of the Eufa cup. Take the dosh away from Chavski the Mancs and Pool and outside the top four and you will see how poor our league is.
Valencia were outside the Champs league places and so too were AC Milan but when/if we beat them its like a fucking Monster achievement.
Ade doesn’t want to sign for a team in the Champs league even to leave us. Our league is a joke.
Spot on with your last comment El Tel. SPOT ON MATE.
“The big guessing game after a Euro 2008 semi-final as one-sided as a Zimbabwe election is “will Cesc Fabregas play in the final?”
Actually I lie. That’s only a guessing game in England. In Spain they can’t understand why the Arsenal youngster is so feted.
Nor can I. Nothing succeeds like reputation, and Fabregas is living proof.
You can get 7-4 with Boylesports that the ludicrously overrated Spaniard does NOT start in tomorrow’s final against Germany. Even with David Villa injured that is a superb bet.”
This was in the mirror. This guy can shampoo my crotch. Must be a devil or a spud.also ive noticed liverpoos hate gerrard been surpassed by Cesc
Our League will only compare with the best there is when we get players like Kaka (Italy) Ronaldinho (Spain) Ribery (Germany) playing here in their peak and not when their clubs have wasted them like Shevva (Chavski). We get gems like TH14, Fabrigas, The Winker etc that come along now and again but abroad they really don’t rate TH14 and Fab as much as we do and also why isn’t anyone else but Real in for the Winker. He will go there so they can make dosh on him.
Saying a player is not worth £19 million and only worth £16 million is Wengers diesese we have missed out on stacks of quality players because of a few million, he does the hard work and finds them to let them slip through his fingers.
Then when Ronaldo is worth £75 million Wenger says yea we looked at him but Man U outbid us three years ago..
Thanks Wrighty
How are you pal?
I saw my 2 sons play at school both technically very good but got beat up by the shaven headed type thug who has limited ability but hurts you. That is Engerland for you. There was a story on the local nrews the other night that some school football team were taking ballet lessons to help balance. Ajax were doing this with DB 10 when in nappies.
Go to the park on a Sunday and watch the parents screaming for little Billy to get stuck in and get rid of it. If in doubt kick it out . they are even drinking beer from a tin at some games.
What a fucking unsocial Country we live in with no morals. As babies we are taught to destroy rather than create. Listen to crowds chanting hatred and abuse to each other every week. Some guys never even watch the match so how they know what is going on is anyones guess.
I get angry and abusive to people but its usually a defensive reaction rather than an offensive one.
A winning mentality doesn’t mean to destroy the opposition and stop them playing like the Mancs do before trampling all over the opponent. (they are allowed to do this by the officials) Reyes anyone? Rooney anyone?
Please Please don’t let anyone tell me that football is best here until it actually is and we see the best ever players of all time in this Country. Can anyone tell me who was an all time great who played in Engerland?
Tel, it’s a harsh assesment of the EPL, a league which by many abroad is seen as THE best league, and there will always be differences of opinion, however one of England’s good traits is that they embrace talent regardless of it’s origin, society in England is far more educated in that regard, and I speak as someone who grew up in London but now lives abroad and once you’re out of the country looking from the outside in, your perspective changes. There are plenty of good English players in the Premier League but you’re right about teams in the lower end of the league, there are teams on the continent who are better and just because they participate in the EPL doesn’t automatically bestow them with a status of superiority over title winners in other leagues in Europe.
Ade’s priority is material wealth, C.Ronaldo wants to fulfill his childhood and his mothers dream for playing for Real Madrid, there’s a reason for everything.
The fact that the EPL isn’t just a collection of Arsenals and Manyoos, all over Europe you’ll find teams who have a tough time in their respective top leagues, lets weigh up the many pros and cons and after all that, I’d say the EPL is a league more admired than joked about.
You are right David. Wenger buys cheap and makes a profit and nobody else finds these players like him.
The red nosed cunt has every bit as much success in the transfer market as AW and it hurts me to say it. Why didn’t we go for that ugly cunt Teves or even better Mascherano. Now wouldn’t he be the player we could do with right now.
Where is our great Manager at this moment in time when we need him most. Commentating for a Al Jazera or something and why is that then Monsuier Wenger are the Arsenal not feeding you well enough.
If all was well at home it would be great for him to be doing his bit for our club in Europe, however its a fucking mess again just as it was last year.
Yes he will get things working again and we will be top 4 because Arsen knows doesn’t he.
I want Arsen Wenger to make my comments look very silly and I would be the first to applaud him but at this moment in time we are looking like mugs.
Good thanks El Tel, you?
Must say I agree with you again mate on your last comment.
We English need to take our head outta our arse’s and realise that we AINT as good as we think we are and that we need to improve our youth system or we won’t ever achieve anything at international level.
We seem to have a little Englander attitude that needs to be changed.
El Tel is on a roll! Well said!
I am praying Wenger lays the smack down in his press conference later. Show the world we’re not fucking about!
Oh wait… Wenger said Ade will be playing with us! Wenger wont meet with Ade!
STICK THAT UP YOUR ASS ADE!
Finestcuts
I don’t disagree with what you say but the reason our league is admired is for the non stop all action games that we play. Technically though we are poor.
The tackle that did Eduardo was excused by all and sundry because a poor player was doing what he was taught at school as a kid. quote, get in early and let them know you are there. It is allowed here. Even the Chavs keeper incident happened because we allow these things to happen.
The winker, well yes you are right he wants to play for Real as do most good players but that doesn’t usually stop other teams getting involved.
Evening Wrighty!
El Tel, I would disagree that our players are not technically good.
Joe Cole, Rooney, John Terry, Rio?
Maybe the lower leagues lack the technical skill… but that is irrelevant right?
Those players look good next to the technically gifted foreigners but when made into a team Croatia were far better as a unit..
Sorry to go off topic but does anyone know anything about computers? If so, would anyone have a clue why the wireless internet on my laptop would work but the cable modem doesn’t? Obviously the cable modem being when I put the ethranet cable on the back of the laptop as opposed to the router.
Fuck me Paulinho, imagine that Homer Simpson blank stare, that’s me right now, you may as well ask me if I know how to build a time machine!
That’s me as well! Took me half an hour to articulate my query to make it half comprehensible. Don’t think I even achieved that!
Joe Cole is probably Engerlands technically gifted player Rooney is more about power but acceptable. John Terry though mate I think you are testing me here and Rio is quick but I wouldn’t call him technically great otherwise he would probably be in midfield.
Computer nerd at your service!
Your cable is broken.
Your PC port is broken.
You are connected to someone elses WIFI without knowing and your internet is down!
If in doubt… reboot!
Nice words from Arsene,
But I hope they are just to get the price up
I dont want Ade at Arsenal next season
Michel Platini
On SSN has said Engerland would have reduce the quality of the Euro’s because of the lack of technical ability.
How spooky that he said this after me making my point.
Pat
What did he say, I just put SSN on so I must have missed something.
Cheers Pedro. Not much wrong then!
Wenger said: “He’s under contract and that’s quite simple.
“I can tell you as manager of Arsenal I’m not worried.
“I expect him to be at Arsenal next season — he’s under contract.”
Asked if he was going to meet the striker next week, Wenger replied: “No, I’ve already met him.”
Wenger:
“He’s under contract and that’s quite simple. I can tell you as manager of Arsenal FC I’m not worried.
“Of course I expect him to be at Arsenal next season – he’s under contract.”
Asked if he was going to meet the striker next week, Wenger replied: “No – I’ve already met him.”
Well said El Tel
We’ll see how good all these Teams are WHEN the Euro league is formed Because its coming With the clowns at FIFA trying to enforce the 5 home growen players rule it’ll distroy the English game as we know it. It starts at grass roots level in the playgrounds & parks. When i was young you could phone a mate & with in minuets you’d have 20 aside playing till it was dark Now the parks are places to flytip & drug dens & the playgrounds are fenced off Whens the last time you saw a group of kids playing Football in the park????
NEVER & i live in the country.
Why dont we Ever enter an English team for the olimpics ?
Because the Clubs wouldn’t let them play. To much money invested in them. FOR most of them to fall by the wayside & be forgoten. Even our ex pros are left in the wilderness (Gazzer) When they could be coach our youth in schools & giving something back instead of pissing it up the wall or trying to form a career inTV or as a so called pundit.
Do you ever get the impression that even if someone had asked Wenger what the story was with Henry the day he left, Wenger would still come out with this ‘he is still under contract’ yarn?
There is something robotic about the way he says these things that mean I’m yet to be convinced that Adebayor is staying at Arsenal.
Wenger is not going to budge, good for him.
Adebayor will have to go on strike and justify it, or make a very serious move such as getting himself fired if he wants to break the contract.
Pedro
Hi mate, even out top league has many poor teams who only get near us (Arsenal) because of the culture of football in this country. When Oppo Managers and Media blatantly talk about stopping Arsenal because we don’t like it up them and never get challenged about these comments get away with this then we have no chance to change things.
Football is a beautiful game and there is room for all types of styles, but poor teams who get away with fighting and talk about battles and wars on a football field isn’t what I personally want.
Watching the Euro’s I have seen the foreigners adapt to our tireless non stop approach but they also have the technique. We are moving further backwards as a nation and as a League.
If the winker stays at the Mancscum if Chavs sign Kaka or Ronaldinho or the top Italians and Spanish,Argies and Brazilians play here then I will change my opinion.
They know they will have to earn their dough here because they will get kicked the shit out of them. The Chavs have the money but not the History, we are to scared to spend money on big players and the Mancscum and Poo are to far OOP North and its fucking cold there.
This year we could cash in £30 million next year??
Do we want Ade at Arsenal now?
Should we swap him for Eto’o (please)?
I am still angry with him and would like to see him sitting in the stands for three years but a court ruling would probably overturn that..
Still it’s interesting to see who backs down..
DINGO we don’t enter an English team because England don’t compete in the olympics and a GB team is already a political nightmare..
Did anyone ask Wenger about Hleb?
Wenger said this because he will sell the fucker and he doesn’t want to let the cat out of the bag until the replacement is a done deal. Very secretive are the Arsenal.
Ditto Dingo, My boys are men now and it is still dangerous on the streets. Yes there are kids playing in the parks but not as many as the old days.
In saying that when were England ever that good. Our best tpournaments were both held in this Country. Mmmmm
Sell that idiot Ade and I am not an hater of his no matter what we get for him.
There are many potential responses and courses of action regarding the whole Adebayor drama, it’s far too complex to be able to predict, we’ll just have to wait and see what the next moves are.
That said, Adebayor is less than fully committed to playing for Arsenal.
No one ever asks Wenger about Hleb. It must be part of his diva ‘do not ask me this question list’ or maybe the journalists are too stupid to think some fans care more about Hleb than Adebayor(me!). I’ll go for the latter.
They asked him about the winker, they will then say he is sticking his nose in just wait see.
Platini is laying it on us big time. He has little respect for England. Can’t say I blame him on some aspects. Look at Arsenals biggest problem. We are seen as a French club and that is not good enough. He probably hates Arsenal for bringing his fellow Countrymen here to play.
He probably believes that has a National team the French boys would improve by playing in Spain/Italy and even Germany. But they come to Arsenal, get kicked about and have it easy playing against shit defenders.
Evening Pedro!!
Does anyone know Is there a 3rd & 4th playoff game (Turkey/Russia) in the Euros & Ifso when is it ?????
Anyone sniff a few porkies being told here……………
Ade says he will meet AW next week, AW says no he wont as he has done so already….
I watched both yesterdays interviews with Ade but cant remember if both were actually Live – I think they were…
Do you just find it all so funny, embarrassingly so for Ade I fear..
Hey Ho – the next few weeks will no doubt make things clearer, in the meantime I guess we have to sit and wait – and the same goes for Hleb
I am looking forward to who IS going to come in, and I just pray they are bloody good
Sorry if this is old news, but Ballack may not be fit fir tomorrows game………. yeah right!
Dingo, there is no 3rd & 4th playoof game both sides are 3rd on Euros
MR WENGER said that ade will remain at ARSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENAL!!!!
so basically AW started to listen to you geoff, “why would i meet him he is under contract”
you asked for it and wrighty mentioned it recently, wenger has grown some nuts, no more jibber jaber!
Pratini is being used as a puppet by the lardasses (wouldn’t know a football if it hit them in the face) lot at fifa at least he was a footballer of some credibility
I believe Arsen wanted Ade out all along, there has been speculation for weeks now about him chasing forwards, even though most of the spaculation is nonsense there is no smoke without fire.
I will agree AW has grown nuts when he sells the 2 that are fucking us about.
but el tel he will have grown the proverbial nuts if he keeps them even though they want off,
Hi Chris
He will have to kick their shitty arses into gear as the whole of the Stadium will let them 2 cunts know what we all think of them.
If Wenger keeps them and keeps the crowd off their backs with many more lies. Then he will be the Master of all Spin.
I reckon you are most likely to be right El Tel. Wenger will do what he thinks is right for Arsenal and every player at Arsenal has a selling price except Fab and perhaps RVP and the two full backs.
Wenger needs to get his ass back over here, get his trilby hat and crombie on and get down the auctions!!
Thanks goergian gunner for Euro info
The Question NOW is WILL Ade go A.W.O.L & solk Bring on JULY & we’ll see
Also did anyone notice that Ade appears on the outside on some of the NEW KIT PHOTOS so it wouldn’t take a lot of work on photoshop or a pair of scissors. Do you think he new something we didn’t ???
What is Ade thinking.. How can he disrespect the club and its fans like this… Doesn’t he realise that it’s our team that make him look good and not his ability…. Which striker couldn’t score goals in our team given the ways our team plays??I hope he fucks off and falls flat on his face…
I say bring in David Villa… Atleast he won’t choke when we need him to finidh off sitters!
And the same for Alex Hleb.. If you don’t wanna play for the Aresenal and these so called bigger teams are more attractive then good luck to ya…
Gooner til I die baby!!!
And is Arsene Wenger soft or something… Why does he tolerate this behaviours from these spoilt little thick brats over and over again… You don’t see Fergie going through this nonsense every Summer and January!!!
The bit that is annoying is if he stays at Arsenal he is on £35,000 a week if we let him leave he trebles that. Ade wins!!
I must admit, I am sick and tired of the Ade/Hleb thing, and I have made up my mind to have nothing more to say about them, until its announced that they are doing anything other than staying – they are both one season wonders, and they will reap what they sow…….
Anyone watching Spain beating Germany so far at Wimbledon, lets hope its a good omen for Cesc and Spain tomorrow
No David, Ade does not win, he loses the respect of many fans and people without whom he’d never be where he is now, he shuns all his mates on the team who are ready to fight for Arsenal and helped him to score goals. Look, if it was just about the money, we would have given Milan the nod by now.
Remember the last day of the season when Hleb and Flamini walked around with Fabregas all mates together Cesc knew at least one of his mates were leaving they don’t fall out over money it’s there god.
Anelka done the same to us but in the January transfer window half the fans wanted him to come back no morals or short memories!!
Even Robin Ambulance Persie said if Arsenal don’t pay better we will lose players..
It’s Arsenals fault not the greedy players..
good to see wenger play hardball on kleb and kanu jnr
Adebayor and Hleb must both go. Their views have made it clear that they would be just poison for the club next season.
Adebayor misses too many chances to be considered a truely great striker and Hleb needed a whole season to get overcome his fear of shooting at goal. It was with Arsene’s belief in them and the club’s encouragement that helped both players come to the world’s notice, but when they have had one good season, they think that they have cracked it. Hardly! Same with Flamini. Just one good season.
Arsene’s talent for finding talent should have been a warning to them both – ‘if you go, we will replace you. Probably with someone better’.
And for those who feel that Arsenal only serve to create stars which they then sell, take heart! Fabregas wants to stay forever. Sagna wants to stay forever, to name but two.
And those that are sold – Pennant (who?); Henry (played the ‘shall I stay/shant I stay’ game – and lost); Vieira (same); Diarra (who?); Flamini (who indeed?); Cole (ha ha ha ha) Need I go on?
Evening all!
I am trashed!
Happy blogging… Moet, here I come!
ben arfa fallen thru,Is nasri deal in trouble?
No way Hackney… ignore it…
SW16 Gooner
I love Fab 1 but to say he will stay forever simply isn’t true. We will have him for 2/3 more years before he returns to Barca. Fortunately we have very capable replacements coming through.
Nasri (if he signs) Rosicky, Merida, Dennilson (yes Dennilson), Randall, Ramsey,Willshere,Diaby (yes Diaby) and wouldn’t David Silva look good too. Kaka even when his batteries run low at Milan. There is a rich variety of players in Cesc;s position.
I have the same fantasy that Cesc will be there forever but he won’t be. AW won’t be there forever either and Cesc thinks the world of his Mentor.
From the current team we have at the moment the players who would never want to leave would be Kolo. Hoyte, who we will sell and Almunia who nobody will want. The rest would all go if their chances were to improve. Even Clichy has time on his side to ply his trade elsewhere one day.
SW16: we haven’t won anything either since all those players left!!!
They have won (I think) 2 Italian championships, 1 league championship and a FA cup in the time that Arsenal have won jack..
Has anyone tried that Captain Morgan “original spiced gold”. Don’t its sensational but can turn you into a crazy thing.
Bloody hell!! Did I say all that stuff about mandela, etc. Geoff/Pedro I’m sorry for that, I’ll never get on this post with the Former Governor of Jamacia again.
gnarely – did you hear polak was hit by a tram in melbourne last night after the game, he’s in intensive care!
Evo, I know Fev cleaned him up during the game, but are you fair dinkum?
no true mate, they were out after the game and he was hit by a tram, apparently he was pretty bad and is in intensive care, but he is coming good this morning
Howdy to the night shift!
Gnarley… Evo!
How the devil are you?
Thoughts on Arsene please? Oh… and Ade and Hleb!
El Tel… if you’re up! Well played!
I hope you will join us for a beer next season!
Pedro, If you look back through the comments section, I think I’ve said enough. If Ade actually stays, everyone will forgive him. If he could probably blame his unpredictable actions on his agent,;The Jackson 5 can blame it on the boogie; Villie manillie can blame it on the rain, well I’m going to blame my lamblasting Ade on Captain Morgan.
Well played Evo by the way.
i love captain morgan.. nite all!!!
We could sell the entire first team squad and still finish above spudz.
As for Arsene. I think now his play time @ the Euros is coming to an end, the real action will start back @ THOF.
As for Ade & Hleb. Unless Le Bosses demands are agreed to with regard to compensation and/or replacements, neither is going anywhere. And as I think it was El Tel who said it. Those of you who frequent the Emirates will certainly let off plenty of steam in each deluded players general direction.
HOLD ON A SEC.
Ade said in his Interview his going to meet with Wenger Next week or somthing, and in wengers Interview he was askd if his going to that Meeting. and Wenger Said NO!! his already seen him
so whats the deal with that.??? are these 2 Playing a Game of Cat and Mouse?
Raif, cat & mouse
cheers gnarely.
thoughts on wenger is he will continue youth policy…Kanu jnr will stay, kleb will go! nasri will sign this week, then 1-2 more will sign in the next few weeks!
gnarleygeorge9 – lol nice post.
i would rather Ade just Jump Ship. like this person here
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=jKgn_AvyUTs
Raif
hehe thats me by the way recording that and editing it
The Ade saga is getting more & more painful. Adebayor, show him the door, he’s starting to bore.
http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=755661
yeah i was just reading that. Bloody stupid i say. hurry up and sell him get it over and done with. other wise we wont hear the end of it till the season starts
What goodies does Barca have to offer? Messi, mmmmmm he would be nice. I know The Club does its transferring on the quiet, but that does not mean we the fans have to do the same. So its official. Messi is required @ Emirates Stadium. We want him.
i read somewere we looked intothe possibliy of getting messi but it would have been impossible to a work permit for him. it was about the same time when the club founf out about Fabregas
Messi would be just right for Arsenal.
Hmmm i agree. he would fit in so well. were abouts would u play him.
Get Rid of Ade NOW!
Nothing but trouble – and more to come in January – and then again next summer!
Hes just a twat – let him become the new Gilardino at AC. (Count how many chances they create for him)
Keep Hleb. At least he keeps out of the media – he may wish to try something new (don’t we all sometimes) but if the boss can turn him back round for another season – take it.
I think he is a really good player.
Bendtner and Vela up front with Nasri Hleb Diaby and Berti in midfield (Rosick-note and RVP in the treatment room).
I hope Gallas works out and has a great season alongside Kolo with Bertie in front of them
I’m going to regret that post – Fabregas in midfield with Bertie!
I’m in HK and it is too early in the morning!
Fab to score the winning goal tonight past Mad Jens!
ricardo – i was about to ask you were would Fabregas be in that line up?
Warming the bench?
Actually Raif, with Cesc I don’t know whether we actually need him in an attacking midfield role, but as a centre forward running @ the backs, or coming @ them from the wing. He’s like the energizer bunny.
…. messi that is.
Imagine having Theo & Messi coming @ a defence in wave after wave from either wing.
messi would be awesome for us!
BB
i agree with you mate ! i know human nature is to better yourself ,suck in the bucks whilst they are there for the taking , but like pat said you do no favors, bullshitting to the fans , it would have been better if he came out and said arsenal aren’t giving me the pay rise i’m after , so my hands are tied , I need a contact that reflects my playing skills …
if you ask me ! )
( $4.50 per hour
Instead he bullshits to the fans that he is current GOD of Arsenal and is going no where !
rest easy disciples….. Im staying …
NO COMMENT ! is all the cunt needed to say … least he wouldnt burn his bridges !
Hes a ‘show man’ thru and thru ! kissing the badge ! thumping the chest ! Like i said he didnt have me fooled !
And pat , its not petty , you don’t understand how hard it is to listen to people saying ade is great when i can see he clearly isnt , i dont want to sound like a broken record
but he is so ‘UN arsenal like’ in his playing style ,its hard to watch ..
im not whining for nothing , im complaining because i want the cunt out ,always have done and i cant see why arsene just cant ‘see him for what he is’ !
But by not paying him a cesc style wage my mind is appeased !
Like i said months ago ! Common sense will prevail !
Fuck let barca have him , he will fail 100% and be the ‘signing scam of the century ‘
he needs a solid midfield providing him with an enormous amount of opportunity’s per match , just to score 1 goal !!!! he wont get that at barca ..
no cunt is that Ego – free and selfless there, they wont give him a 2nd chance !
He will be warming the bench !!! thats my playing prediction future for ade !!
10 goals a season !!! impact sub for long balls , which 9 out 10 times he fucks up anyhow !
ricardo
with you 100% brother !!!
sell ade ,keep hleb !
im going to the fridge for a beer!
Arsenal will sign Oguzhan Ozyakup from AZ Alkmaar when the midfielder turns 16 in September. (The Times)
Evo your a fucking alcoholic !
when he turns 16? so he might be playing in the 1st team by 2014 !???
fucking hopeless ! i have a real problem when wenger makes signings like this !
he wont even be at the helm when this kid starts to bare fruit …
lets hope he doesn’t develop a drinking problem …
or get home sick
or likes the night clubs too much !
or isnt happy with his wage structure !
or is unhappy with all the competition !!!
Oguzhan Ozyakup?? WTF ?
(WHO THE #UCK?)
i have no idea who he is, its just a rumour!
i want us to sign goufran (caen) and whoever the fuck else we can get!
” I’ll Play Like Henry When I’m Paid Like Henry” – AdeBYEor
hahahahaha.. Some statement you nasty piece of work. You’ll never ever lace his boots.
Guys, I see Wenger selling the fucker, and then sticking to Vela, Bendtner and RVP. Eduardo returns after injury, and that’s it. Walcott could also play there if wanted.
Of course, my ideal signing would be Villa for AdeBYEwhore.
Its amusing the press keeps tabs on our players, and don’t care to spew a single rumour of spurs’ Berbatov, and the likes. Morons!
if villas injury keeps him sidelined for a while, i reckon he’ll stay with valencia
I hope this young Vela is good, coz we are going to need him.
Through my drunken haze last night i seem to recall Gunner fever mentioning that Real Madrid are living beyond their means, & that they will have to offload players, i.e Wesley Sneijder anyone??
are you back on the captains today gnarely?
I’ve still got an almost full bottle of the Captain Morgan regular, but, I don’t think I shall tonight. I think yesterday was a knee jerk reaction to Richmond losing. I had to just block it out.
……but a nice cleansing ale would be nice. Yes it is beer o’clock. Be back in a minny.
Aaaaaaahhhhh!!! thats better.
thats right gnarley i did say that as i heard from their very own real madrid tv presenter that they have to offload some players due to their loan increments and also to support the wages real madrid have promised c.ronaldo if he signs.
wesley sneijder as of now is just a rumour guys take it with a grain of salt….but if it does happen arent we all gona be happy or what.
‘i heard’ means the radio interview of sid lowe.
I must say he appeals to me.
yes he does gnarls and he surely does add that magic to the squad and also scores from freekicks and scores goals unlike hleb……..he sure would be a direct replacement for hleb and a better one to be honest.
scoring from free kicks, since TH14 left, & with RVP11 out, has dried up. A set piece goal here & there would be invaluable.
Hey G fever what was that strikers name that used to play for Arsenal, um oh I know Adebayor thats right
lol yea gnarls now he changed his name for feng shui reasons and its adebyewhore now
Yes, he has a high opinion of himself, but he hasn’t even made the Arsenal Top 50 greatest.
when he was at monaco he did the same and as soon as he heard arsenal are out to get him he did his best to secure a move here and then with his own country togo he went on a strike saying he wouldnt play until their wages increased and he was suspended for a long time and now with arsenal this skunk sniffs more money outa richer clubs and goes on to try and create a hostile feeling so the fans and the club can just wish he can be sold.
he surely will be sold the cunt.
Has Geoff been coaching Le Boss on how to be firm about wayward contracted players. Or does his new tough stance mean that Le Boss actually does read Le Grove?
He’s under contract and that’s quite simple. I can tell you as manager of Arsenal I’m not worried,” said the Frenchman.
“Of course I expect him to be at Arsenal next season – he’s under contract.”
besides how do you insert a pic in that little box next to our name
The avatar?
1. Go to WordPress.com
2. Open an account(remember whatever name you give yourself stays, so don’t use your real one!)
3.Go to ‘Users’(far right two tabs tab in the dashboard)
4. Click your new user name, then upload an avatar. You can use any pic you want.
Thse are Pedro’s instructions, so talk to him if you need more help. Good luck
i really hope mr.wenger does read le grove coz here there aint no blind curtain thrown at your face and made to believe at what the bloggers have to say like in other blogs whereas in here we sure can have an opinion and not get one.
when wenger said “I can tell you as manager of Arsenal im not worried” it shows that this man has finaly grown a pair of nuts and what he intends to say is being the manager of a club like arsenal fc we are not gona be bullied by any club or player…even if its our own player trying to hold us ransom like adebyewhore.
finaly things are hopefully gona change at arsenal fc and players will realise that this club will not take any shit from them and their agents anymore.
thanks gnarls mate that sure does help
cheers
Adebayor is trying to mug us, you’re not Henry Adebayor, and it took him a while to get paid what you’re hoping for and he did much more for the team than you ever will, time to call for a taxi Adebayor.
lets hope we can make a good amount of money out of these two cunts adebayor and hleb.
so maybe the signings will start from july 1?
Is the very same gunnerfever. If so that was quick.
so maybe ben arfa to us along with nasri on july 1?
lol you bet it is gnarls….i realy did want to get a pic coz it looked better and on par with the regular posters here.
Hey Evo!
Portsmouth are planning a shock move Harry Kewell.
ben arfa will be nasri’s replacement for marseille and nasri i realy do hope is not a direct replacement to hleb as i would realy prefer a genuine winger with an instinct to score goals ala bobby pires the legend.
Portsmouth are planning a shock move for ex-Leeds United star Harry Kewell.
The Liverpool foward is available on a free, after rejecting a reduced-wages offer at Anfield.
Aussie international Kewell has also been linked with Roma but would prefer to stay in the Premier League.
Pompey manager Harry Redknapp wants to team him up with Kop striker Peter Crouch
kewell would be a typical redknapp signing!
the marseille deal for ben arfa didnt go ahead apparently
evo june 30th is the last date to register the players for them and thats what lyon want and so hopefully today or tomorow the ben arfa deal will go through as all has been agreed including a medical and all that remains is some tax formalities that marseille are stuck with and the deal is 100% sure to go through and once they have ben arfa the nasri signing will be concluded as the same is the case here with arsenal and nasri has already succesfully completed the said medical.
Geoff & Pedro must have slept in?
http://www.arsenalinsider.co.uk/arsenal-news/breaking-newsben-arfa-transfer-falls-could-this-mean-no-deal-for-arsenals-nasri/
this is only blog news, but lets see what happens…
New post about to hit, I just woke up!
morning geoff waiting for the post
testing testing. does my AFC Picture show on the side? >>>>>
yes it does lol.
Sell Ade Now!!!!
whats the chances of us signing both Nesri and Ben Arfa
The guy is an idiot!!! I bet Helb loves him. He is managing to sneek out the door while Adebaysnore is making such an arse hole of himself!!! Rot is the hell that is the Barcelona team. Look what they did to Overmars, Petit and Henry’s careers!!!
Well said, get rid of these idiots (Ade-do-a-thing & Help), get a good price for him, bring in new players who wants to play for us. I know we can never stop anyone but at least they sud be grateful for what the club done for their career. Thanks and congrats to Cesc.
he is as thick as shit, poor sod. he is so stupid that he thinks it is acceptable to be advised to give 1 interview at quarter past 12 declaring your undying love for arsenal and then an hour later give 1 saying the virtual opposite.
he is thick because you only have to look at the amount of times he was offside last seaon. fuck me, ive seen people in my pub team have a better understanding than him of the complexities of the offside rule. i can’t remember a more blatant offside than when we played newcastle away last season and he was at least 2 yards in front of rosicky and still had the nerve to berate tomas for not passing the ball to him.
he is thick because in his negative arsenal interview he started referring to himself in the 3rd person.
he is thick because he believes he is on a par with henry.
he is thick because he thinks the grass is always greener outside ashburton grove.
ship him out. end of.
from the Stun
Has Arsene Wenger lost his passion and ambition? I mean, does he really want to win the champions league at least one time in his managerial career?
I really can’t understand Wenger sometimes you know……Barca want Ade and Hleb, so why don’t we do a swap deal which will see Ronaldinho and some cash coming Arsenal’s way, and Ade going the other, then use the sale of Hleb and the surplus cash from the Ade sale to finance a deal for David Villa or Hunterlaar.
Surely that combination will be more potent than anything in Europe today, and can guarantee Arsenal the double at the very least next season.
