Barcelona

Barcelona FC has reportedly send Arsenal FC a £30 mil bid for Emmanuel Adebayor and that's a take it or leave it offer. Adebayor will suit the Spanish game given the fact he is already known as the most difficult striker to play against in the EPL. The players in Spain are less physical than the EPL ones. So, imagine how he will bully them in La Liga.  Baptista is another strong player who has done well in the La Liga. What Guardiola will do is to play Adebayor up front to knock down balls for Messi or Henry (remember they do play 4-3-3) or try over powering the defenders and score.

A lot of Arsenal fans has already said to themselves that the initial £24 mil bid was already fantastic piece of business by Arsene Wenger. Something that we Arsenal fans have gotten used to isn't it?  Wenger turn a 'nobody' player into a superstar, and Wenger makes £15-20 mil. That's the usual story. Let's not let there be a repeat of a Henry and Vieira episode. The season before, they were worth £25-30 mil, however, we fight for them to stay and they did. Then they have a lousy final season for us either out of form or injured. And the next season, we sell them for a drop priced transfer by almost 40% of what was offered previously.

Arsenal should cash in now. £30 mil can do a lot for Arsenal be it spent in the transfer market or bolstering the club's financial status since the recent drop in property price will carry effects to the luxury apartments in Highbury. What more when most fans will find it hard to accept what Adebayor and his agent has done. 

How good Adebayor can be or will be should be left as history because he's really got a rotten attitude. Seems like nothing has changed? And it'll be bad for the team too. Look, there is no guarantee if he can repeat what he did last season. By then, Arsenal will not be able to ask for £30 mil for Adebayor. 

Adebayor wants to go to Milan while Arsenal wants to keep him - Gooner Talk

Milan scout said Adebayor wants to go to Milan but Arsenal wants to sell him to Barca due to player the club's interest in a certain Barca player or a double deal with Hleb.

It all make sense now.

Ade's agent negotiates new deal for Ade, probably demanding that 100k/week wages, right after a good season.

Wenger said, "Ade has a lot more to do if he is to become a great player". Probably because of what they are asking for. Honestly, its only one season and given the chances he has had, he probably should have scored more goals. No doubt about his effort for the team though.

So, his agent tries to engineer moves for Adebayor to other clubs whom are willing to pay him that wage and puts pressure on Arsenal too. Either way, he earns his commission, but just depends on how much he'll be getting.

I heard Arsenal have some interest in doing a double deal and possibly plus player with Barca and that is why the club prefers Barca. Ade wants Milan? Why? UEFA Cup football and what? reunion with Flamini? I thought he'd rather have a dance with Henry is Barca.

But lets be realistic. There is Messi, Henry, Ronaldinho & Eto'o in Barca. The last two may leave, but surely they will replace them with another good striker besides Adebayor and competition for place will be very fierce. Its different in Milan as the squad is aging.  Chances is Adebayor has a better chance to start over there than Nou Camp.

There has been a lot of rumours about Nasri going to Arsenal to replace Hleb. It may be true, but as long as Nasri is not revealed in an Arsenal shirt, nothing is concrete. So, all the hype about Hleb leaving are still just rumours until you see him revealed as a... I'm sorry, I really don't know which team REALLY wants him though. Here is what happened:

1. Hleb had an ice cream interview in Milan,

2. Hleb then smack a player so that he can sit on the bench for the last 3 games of the season.
