    That's why Wenger prefers younger players, the older ones leave a sour taste in the mouth. Whistle

    Arsene Wenger is reported to have lost patience with Emmanuel Adebayor and will allow the player to leave once he has found a replacement, according to The Guardian...

    Ze Togolese striker has been in demand this summer following his breakthrough season with the Gunners. Milan and Barcelona have been the two clubs in pursuit, and while at first the player was adamant he would remain at the Emirates Stadium with Arsenal, there have been hints of a departure in more recent weeks.

    Milan were desperate to land the man who scored one of the two goals that knocked them out of the Champions League last season, so much so that vice-president Adriano Galliani declared he was their sole transfer target for the summer, only to eventually be priced out of a move, with an astounding £35 million reported to be the asking price for the powerful forward.

    Barcelona's interest has threatened to die out for similar reasons, but they are thought to still have the striker in their sights following a £5 million price drop to £30 million, with an agreement having been reached.

    The Guardian contends that manager Arsene Wenger has grown tired of the striker's ongoing uncertainty and inconsistency regarding his future and will be ready to sell as soon as a replacement can be acquired.

    Barcelona president Joan Laporta will be eager to seal the signing of a striker as soon as possible, as he is under pressure at the club and a new signing before the imminent elections may do enough to appease his opposition, with Samuel Eto'o resigned to leaving Camp Nou this summer.

I also see no reason why it cant be the usual starting point when selling one of your possessions, instead of sending a message out that he's not for sale.

    If im selling a car, I can let it go for 12k, but I ask for 14k. Why? Because it gives me space to bargain, make the buyer feel he can haggle the price down to below what I actually want to sell for. It's simple buying and selling on any level. 30 million is not an outrageous sum in today's market for 24 year old who scored 30 goals in the EPL. It's just not. I honestly cannot believe anyone thinks 30 million is any kind of message other than come and buy him if you've got the money, which, as everyone knows, Milan/Barca do.

    And yes, I do agree he's not worth 30 million, as I've said, that doesnt mean Arsene doesnt. He thinks Jeffers was worth whatever stupid amount he paid. He thought Reyes was the next best thing, the amount he paid for Wiltord (though a good player, massively over priced).


    The thing is that nowadays there aren't a lot of players capable of scoring 30 goals in a season. Therefore the price tag of Ade is so high. Maybe that's not a good idea to sell him, cuz a new player normally takes a while to time to adapt. Furthermore, do Arsenal really need the cash?

    Tweedle wrote:Well, many papers are running a story that Barca have offered £30m for him as a 'take it or leave it' offer.

    For that amount of money I honestly think we should sell.

    He's had a fantastic season but its his first one where he's been scoring freely and there's a legitimate chance that he'd struggle to get over 15 goals next season for us.

    Then again, he could develop into 'the next Didier Drogba' but at a much younger age.

    How should Arsenal play this? Would you accept the offer if you were Wenger or would you reject any sort of offer and continue to build the team around him?


    The way I see this you lot owes about €100m for all the duds you have sold us over the years, and about €50m for Cesc...

    So we will take €130m plus Adebayor, cause he isn't worth much more than €20m. You yourself doubt whether he can get more than 15 a season, which in my mind makes him pretty poor.

    No point in taking the money really, with 30 million and plus the remaining Transfer budget, Arsenal should have a War-chest to spend Big........However Arsene Wenger never buys big and perhaps unproven in buying big. They should keep him and allow Wenger to steal...ahh I mean buy Talented Youngsters, whilst perhaps buying a token star player (that being Nasri) for the forthcoming season.......

    Hmmm perhaps, but you are kinda banking on Abby not being a one-season wonder.
    30M seems like a very good deal for Arsenal to me, and we all know what happens to Arsenal players when they join Barca...

    You only got him in the first place because of his shocking attitude towards his employers. So you can't be surprised that he's playing the same game again.

    We should stop funding Arsenal's new stadium. Last year 24m for Henry, this year 30m pounds for a one season wonder and next year we'll sign our own Cesc for 50m or something ridiculous.

    In a few years we'll have paid for your new stadium!

    For 38m euros (according to MD) I don't. I was looking at his stats and he's only scored more than 20 in one season. Surely we could find someone better for that money.

    So I hope Arsenal keep rejecting our bids, and nobody comes in for Etoo.
