ADEBAYOR F*CK OFF YOU LAZY LANKY @#$% YOUR WORK RATE IS SLOW! YOU NEED 20/30 SHOTS ON GOAL MAYBE TO GET 1-2 GOALS YOUR HEART IS NOT IN THE CLUB TO BE A GOONER 80K A WEEK
I WOULDNT GIVE YOU £80 A WEEK, WENGER CASH IN NOW!!
UP THE ARSENAL
Am sure that if we sold off Adebayor and bought Carlos Tevez, I can guarantee that the premier league is ours. they can combine perfectly well with Ashavan. We cant sell VP cos he may not cost much..at least not as much as Ade whose commitment to club is now obviously suspect.

ooooo shut up already
if he was half as good as he thinks he is he would be worth keeping. unfortunately he isnt and 15-20 million would be good money to spend elswhere. We have eduardo, van persie, walcott, bendtner. we are not going to miss him
Sell Adeboayor £15-£20m then put that money towards David Villa £30m! Use Cesc's Influence with his international team mate, problem solved!
In my opinion, Arsenal would do well to get rid of Adebayor this season and get a good amount for him. Last summer the rumour mongers were talking about £30m. I am pretty sure that this season, it won't be that much, but even £20m would do a lot of good. I know that Wenger has plenty to spend and doesn't like to, but with the signing of Vermaelen, we also need to add a few more... a couple of midfielders and a striker. I like the look of Edin Dzeko of Wolsburg to complement the strikers we already have and Xabi Alonso and Tranquilo Barnetta in midfield. Of course, Alonso will stay at Liverpool, so perhaps we could set our sights on buying Flamini back!!
I don't hate Adebayor for who he is as a person because i don't know him personally. BUT in a footballing sense, its a different case altogether as i have been watching virutally every single match for years....and i dare say this...Adebayor is NOT the striker of what Arsenal represents in the past 10 years at least.
Ask yourselves. Can you ever envision Adebayor to be in the same class or potential like Wright, Bergkamp, Anelka, Kanu or even Henry when they first set foot on field for Arsenal????
Its so clear to see. I don't even need to list you why he is a total misfit. By the way, the great striker/forward players i mentioned earlier... they had a common something whenever a 'one-on-one-with-the-keeper' situtation arises, you know they will score 9 outta 10 times. With Adebayor, he doesn't have that in him....
Who do we have to replace Ade when he is gone in July(my speculation)?
Simple.... give it to Eduardo. Now thats a fella with classy skills. He'll complement alongside RVP very well imo. Vela is another to watch out for. I don't really think much about Bendtner but where a strong-big fella type forward is needed to support the strike force, he is a useful addition.
10 reasons why i love arsenal
1/ Playing style: sexy football, short pass in short and medium distance, players always run forward to find out a free space.
2/ Politics: Arsenal trains new world-class players, they don't use world-class players. They don't spend money wasteful like other big clubs
3/ History: Arsenal was buit from nothing. They just have 11 workers who love football. During over 100 years of appearance, Arsenal develops into one of the most famous club, one of the richest club.
4/Players: they are big stars in football world. They can have everything's, do everything's which they want. However, they avoid to get in trouble. Most of arsenal players never go to a night club and they rarely have scandals outside the field.
5/Club: this is a home for all of players. At arsenal, Players are not only teammates, but also members in a big families
6/Stars: every decade, Arsenal always have a favorite player. Henry is a statue in club and recently, Cesc Fabregas is on his way to become a statue.
7/ Coach: Arsene Wenger is a friendly, smart coach who can train a non-famous player becomes a great player. He's talent and also, he likes a father for all players in this club.
8/ The board: atlhough, i don't know much about Pete Hill Wood, he always support all decision of Arsene.
9/Stadium: Highbury is a famous stadium, that is only one stadium hit by a bomb in world war 2. These days, Emirates begins another period of success for the club.
10/ Fans: they are friendly and frenetic just like me
honestly,i dont undastand why all the noise abt Adebayo.in my own opinion, he s nt a world class striker, his inconsistency had caused arsenal premership title twice. you cant bet that he wld score even one on one with a keeper! what sort of a striker is dat?he shld go or arsene shld sell him and buy a great striker.if he goes to milan or barca,he s going straight to the bench. Enough of all the unnecesary noise abt adebayo pleeeeseee.
Up Gunners.
akd.
As much as we would love a player in our team, we should remember that football is a career for them. So, if a player wants to leave, let him. I would not want Adebayor to stay at Arsenal if he feels he was coerced (by fans, management or shareholders) to stay at a club. We want a player with passion for the team. So, if he wants to leave - let him.
i think adebayor should stay
because he is a talented player
and arsenal need for the next season
please stay adebayor
Adebayor should stay at Arsenal.
Adebayor will never go to AC Milan, no matter how rich they are.
Just because, he hasn't been scoring this season, Adebayor is still the right man to continue scoring for the Gunners.
Trust me, Adebayor will come good next season and will be a constant threat.
To that Nathan, you are an idiot.
Was it necessary to make an immatured remark against Emmmanuel Abebayor.
If you haven't got anything to say, then just get lost.
