  1. For me Emma should stay and fight to get back the form­ he was last two seasons, cos form brings money in­ football, and not where you are going because if you go­ to milan and play the way you did last season, you­ will be left on the bench to rot like Hleb who threw­ his carrier away by going to Barcelona. and he may be­ phychologically damaged then.

  10. It's really crazy how people are so gullible to­ believe everything they read from someone's stupid­ immaginations concerning the movement of one player to­ another club even without the player's­ knowledge.

    Why would you begin to boo someone when he­ has absolutely no control over what some crazy reporter­ conjures up in his mind?Tell me why

    I find it very difficult to understand why the press­ wants to force Adebayor out of Arsenal. Is this the­ final part of the Ade full saga because this story has­ been previously repeated a few time. He has come out to­ refute story but the press are not having it. The­ bottom line is he will remain an integral part of­ arsenal squad next year.

  14. It is time for Milan to stop all the chat and just sign­ our wonderful striker. He will be a credit to Milan­ with his goal scoring, his hard work, his fast off the­ ball runs and his loyalty. He won't want to leave­ you.If you believe all of this then you have money to­ waste. so sign him please.

  15. Arsenal this is the right time to let Ade go. He has­ nothing useful again to offer to Gunners. Check all the­ other three top clubs in England they all have sharp­ and strong stricker. Ade always goal shy. We don't­ need him any more. Please sell him now and make little­ money or you wait to loose all next season. Wenger­ please do business now!
