The first big test for Arsenal saw Djourou picked at the back to partner Gallas ahead of Senderos,
whilst Eboue was given a central midfield role, a reversal of what Wenger did with Lauren, a
central midfielder converted to right-back. Adebayor was picked to lead Arsenal's attack
alongside Robin van Persie, whilst Samir Nasri made [.
While facts and rumors on the professional transfer season continue to hold the attention of many
soccer fans, the world's largest soccer tournament starts today in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The Gothia Cup, a youth tournament, drew 1,551 teams last year with over 33,000 boys and girls in
categories from U-12 to U-18, scoring over 22,000 goals.
Our season can be so much compared to that of Spanish giants Real Madrid, who are struggling to put
their act together in the Spanish Liga. A reason for that, is the injury of Dutch striker Ruud van
Nistelrooy who will be sidelined for a long time. Today, rumours talk about a possible
£25million bid made [.
Arsene Wenger is considering a replacement for the potentially exit bound Adebayor and he may have
found just the man he was looking for! The Arsenal manager is known to be displeased with the
conflicting messages coming from Adebayor over his future and the opportunity to make a profit of
over ..
The summer is always full of transfer rumours but just how much attention should we pay to paper
talk and gossip. Ronaldo to Real, Barry to Liverpool, Robinho to Chelsea and Arshavin and Adebayor
to quite their clubs are all deals that have been touted around the media but how many have gone
through.
Some articles out there are hilarious. A friend of mine just told me if it's true that Adebayor is
leaving us to join his favourite team Juventus. I kindly asked where did he read that and provided
me with a link. Now make no mistake, I would have sold Emmanuel last summer if I was [...]
We're forever hearing of new players dubbed, 'the next Makelele/Ronaldinho etc.' but few live up to
expectations - while even fewer manage to make a name for themselves.
Arsenal went into the game needing a 4-0 win if they wanted to retain the Emirates Cup due
to Hamburg earlier winning 3-0 against Juventus. Leaving Hamburg on 7 points, Arsenal started with
a very strong side with Adebayor, Van Persie, Sagna, Gallas, Almunia, Nasri and Diaby all starting.
Real Madrid named a strong side [.
International breaks are becoming more and more a goal festival for Arsenal strikers. After
Walcott's hat-trick away at Croatia, this weekend it was Adebayor's turn to find some magic.
Emmanuel, who boycotted the National side for a month, made his comeback by scoring once before
half-time and three times in the second half.
Often it takes a young player some time to settle in at Arsenal. They need to get to know the way the club operates, its values, its traditions, the rivalries and such.
This does not seem to apply to Carlos Vela who wrote himself into the book of legendary Arsenal quotes without so much as kicking a ball for us yet.
It looks increasingly likely that Emmanuel Adebayor is going to take the money and run to
Barcelona, something which Arsenal can do very little about, as they continue to adhere to their
rigid wage structure. Obviously, Adey's departure might leave the team a bit short of firepower and
that's where Daniel Guiza (diamond to his [.
Now that it appears that Adebayor is on his way, a long sought-after target of Arsene Wenger's is
back in the papers, and it could happen! Samuel Eto'o is to make a decision on his future when he
returns to pre-season training with Barcelona. The Cameroon striker is under contract with the
Primera Liga side until 2010, [.
I'm not sure what the half-time team talk by Arsene Wenger was about, but it worked to perfection.
Fair enough, I'm not sure if we would have taken anything away from this match had Mike Dein not
made a terrible decision on the first goal, but as they say, sometimes they go for you, something
[...]
Good day to you all.
We'll begin with Adebayor whose agent has been talking. Obviously he hasn't been listening to
the player because what he says is rather at odds with what Adebayor has been saying. Stephane
Courbis says:
If this was a money problem, then he would have asked to leave.
Morning all. I'm taking a break from watching the Olympics because they are showing rowing right
now. Is that even a sport? Rowing. Some of these sports are just awful...beach volleyball,
handball, synchronized diving/swimming, fencing...I love the Olympics but some things just should
not have medals given for them.
Nothing else to talk about, so I will fall back on this for today. Thankfully, it's La Liga preview
tomorrow, so I won't have to spend ages on another list.
This list is the 50 best players now. It therefore will not include any has beens who's talent
might be rekindled (sorry R10) and no wonderkids who remain just that.
If anyone thought this team was brave enough to put last Wednesday's 4-4 behind their back and face
Stoke City with determination and fighting spirit, well, they were wrong. Conceding one goal from a
long throw-in the way we did in the first half is a suicide. Conceding two means being the clown of
the [.
I have to say that being under the influence of pain killers at the moment doesn't give one a
clear head. What a shame that I didn't do my usual and replies to the guys who kindly tried to rub
my face in it yesterday. Now most of Arsenal land knows that Fabregas the King of InsideArsenal is
no lover of Adebayor.
Arsenal will be at the top of the Premier League for at least 24 hours after defeating Newcastle
United 3-0 for the second successive time in only four days. The Gunners, who also beat Newcastle
3-0 in the FA Cup on Saturday, are now three points ahead of Manchester United, who face Portsmouth
at Old Trafford tomorrow.
Arsenal travel to Old Trafford this Saturday to face off against Manchester United in a highly
anticipated FA Cup clash. The top two goalscoring teams of the Premier League will be sure to
entertain in a free-flowing 90 minutes of football.
Alex Ferguson's Manchester United will be looking to prove themselves after taking only one of the
last six available Premier League points.
We're now all aware of just how greedy Emmanuel Adebayor is, although surely that doesn't extend
leaving Arsenal to join one of their most bitter rivals? The Daily Mail report that the striker has
been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, especially as the Blues appear to be failing to land
their primary targets of [.
How do?
It's all about trophies. Trophies and silverware. Trophies and silverware and cups. Trophies and
silverware and cups and prizes. Trophies and silverware and cups and prizes and medals. Yep. That's
according to the boss anyway who has prioritised the league and the Champions League, as you might
imagine.
Arsenal progressed into the quarter-finals of the Champions League after knocking out holders AC
Milan in their round of sixteen tie. The Gunners overcame a resilient Milan side after two late
strikes sent the Rossoneri spinning out of European competition. It was Milan's first European loss
at the San Siro.
Sky Sport Italia is reporting Arsenal striker Emanuel Adebayor has agreed terms with AC Milan.
They still have some work to do though, Milan will now be making a formal request to Arsenal to start the process of grabbing Adebayor away from Emirates stadium and reports suggest Milan are willing to offer the large sum of [.
Wenger is lining up a great deal that will see Adebayor finally leave the Emirates after weeks of
speculation but will also see a gem of a player moving the other direction! The proposed move of
Adebayor to Milan has become one of the main transfer sagas of the summer. Yesterday ...
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger may be looking to reload his lineup with Ajax striker Klaas Jan
Huntelaar as a replacement to Emmanuel Adebayor, along with his fellow Dutchmen Robin van Persie.
The Daily Star says although Adebayor, 24, bagged 30 goals for the Gunners last season, Wenger is
excited about the prospect of pairing Huntelaar with [.
Morning all,
it's another Adebayboring day with all kinds of stuff going on about the big, lanky prick. Let
me try and summarise for you.
The Sunday Mirror says we haven't received any bids at all and Adebayor could end up staying and
finding himself about as popular as man who goes around saying 'Oooh, you're looking a bit chunky'
at a convention for recovering anorexics.
Its getting more and more likely that Togo Twat Adebayor is going to remain an Arsenal player. I
hope that he apologises for the shit he's given us Gooners but I doubt very much we will hear
one.
He owes Arsenal, Arsene and us Gooners for the amount of crap we've had to deal with over the
summer.
Hola. I'm writing this during half time of the Arsenal-Real Madrid match and it's still 0-0.
Yesterday we lost 1-0 to Juventus on a goal that was CLEARLY offside by David Trezeguet. Referee is
clearly in preseason form as well. I'm not going to bother with a match report but if you want to
read one I'm sure you can find one somewhere.
An excellent three-points at the Reebok against a team that used to intimidate us, and who managed
to put us on the back foot in the early stages of the game.
Despite opening brightly, and comprehensively out-passing Bolton, they took the lead through a goal
which, again, asked questions of our ability to defend from set-pieces.

Arsenal stayed at the top of the Premier League after defeating London rivals West Ham 2-0 at the
Emirates. Early goals from Eduardo and Emmanuel Adebayor sealed the victory for the Gunners.
Elsewhere, Manchester United and Chelsea both won, with the Reds keeping pace only two points
behind the Gunners.
Arsenal travel to the Turf Moor on Sunday to face Championship side Burnley in the third round of
the FA Cup.
The Pride of Lancashire, who have been under the management of former Falkirk boss Owen Coyle since
late November, will likely face an understrength Arsenal side, as Gunners boss Arsene Wenger tends
to blood young players in England's cup competitions.
Before the game I was interested to see how we would line up. With the season done and dusted
but for a small miracle, it is a perfect opportunity to see how certain players can improve the
side. Wenger has a chance to look at new options and partnerships and tonight he went half way to
doing this.
As Arsene Wenger continues to be linked with all and sundry, another name has been added to the
growing list of players who may well smash the Gunners' transfer record. Here is the latest...
£15m rated Blackburn striker Roque Santa Cruz has emerged as a potential target for Arsene
Wenger should Arsenal lose Emmanuel Adebayor to [.
The Telegraph reports that Arsenal's Togo international is set to politely ask the Arsenal suits if
they would mind awfully if he left and went to AC Milan . "Further discussions are planned in
the next few weeks but reports in Italy suggest that Adebayor will use the next meeting to tell the
club, [.
Good morning from a grey miserable Dublin. The rain is teeming down and it looks like it's going
to do that all day long.
So I'm loathe to start the day with anything negative. Instead let's rejoice and sing songs at
the news that Gael Clichy has signed a new long term contract with the club.
By Aries While the saga of Adebayor's apparent exodus from the Emirates is continuing, Arsene
Wenger like all good managers, is keeping his eyes and options open for a possible replacement. He
has been linked to Spain's top scorer Daniel Guiza before but this time the link seems to have been
confirmed by Guiza's agent Felix Moneo.
By 1970's Gooner Adebayor has got some cheek really. He has hardly established himself at Arsenal
after one full season as a main striker and now he is demanding a staggering £120,000 per week
to stay! "I have asked Arsenal to look at it and see what they want. "I have a promise
from the manager Arsene Wenger that they will call me next week.
