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.

Latest reports from Telegraph.co.uk said:

 The figure is said to be 32 million pounds. Now, Adebayor is growing up to be a great striker. However, he is NOT a great striker yet. We all know he has scored 24 goals for us in the EPL, yet has put so many easy chances to waste. For 32 million pounds, it will be a fantastic deal. Upon hearing the news, I thought that its all nonsense, but if it is true, then surely there is a reason behind it:

AC Milan is also tracking Shevchenko and Drogba. For 32 mil, AC Milan can easily buy either one of them if not for both. No doubt both are proven strikers and world class, but they are already at the peak of their career. And if they pay that money, they'd rather buy someone who is younger. Funny thing here is, they could  have easily sought after the services of David Villa who is more or less confirmed leaving Valencia, more lethal than Adebayor, young and available.

The other reason why Adebayor is a more suitable target is because other players like Villa, Sheva and Drogba will want to play in the Champions League, but AC Milan does not offer that next season. So, they try their luck with Adebayor? Will Adebayor trade for UEFA Cup next season?

Adebayor is definitely not worth that much of money, but who said Anelka was worth that much then? Everything is possible. However, its also the same news agency/newspaper who reported that "Nasri has signed for Arsenal" . 

Personally, I won't mind cashing in on Adebayor.
