Sky Sports website now stating that he intends to remain for the duration of his contract (3 years). Always worries me when players say that as I keep thinking of what Campbell did to the scum.

Hope this will put the Peter Crouch story to bed once and for all :D

As I said before I never truely warmed to Ade but 30 odd goals is not something we would want to get shot of too easily.

Read what the papaers say? the media and TV are always praising Pirlo, there are not that many that see him for what he is, which is basically somebody that walks round the field looking like he is on drugs, but if you like him then thats your opinion

Well one thing is for sure... Don't expect me to support the big c*nt from togo anymore! Whatever happened, HE TRIED to go to Milan, he licked their hairy balls nice and square... If it wasn't the case and he wanted to stay at Arsenal since the beginning, he would've sacked his agent for stating so much shit.
If both Adebayor and Hleb stay, it's because they couldn't get a better deal elsewhere.

NOPE! I don't want this kind of player at the Arsenal! :evil: :twisted: :banghead: :evil:


EDIT: No mean to disrespect you SwaleGooner, but I agree with Augie on this one. If you wonder about Pirlo's capacities, then you might as well forget about football... As much as I hate Italian Football and Italian players specially, Pirlo's definitly one of them best!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but right from the end of last season right up until today, the only statements Ade has made himself are to the effect of; "I'm staying at Arsenal, I'm happy where I am". Now I'm not naive enough to believe that that's concrete proof he was never looking at a move and I certainly don't take today's conference as a guarantee that he'll be with us for the next 3 years. But for christ sake guys, give the guy a chance!! He's done nothing or said anything (yet) to justify criticism. Also my understanding is that the so called agent who stated Ade was 80% certain to go to Milan is not Ade's agent, he is a"Super Agent" who would have no doubt benefitted somewhere from the transfer domino effect had Ade been sold for £30m.

As for questioning whether or not we really need to keep him, I find that amazing. He clearly has much room for improvement, but he scored 30 goals last season. Yes he misses chances, so if he continues to improve, as he has done each season, maybe we can expect 35+ goals in future?! He has also developed a knack of scoring in big games, something I wish our Thierry had!!

Very dangerous precedent if he does :worried: I know he got 30 goals last season so in a stats way he has done very well but he got a pay rise only 12 months ago so to give him another increase on the back of threats to fcuk off to milan or barca is sending out a bad nad message to other players :x

Sounds like good news to me :barscarf:

As I've said many times, selling Ade is ok as long as we replace him with a "super, super player" (as Wenger would say :wink: ) and lets face it, we were never going to sign Villa, Torres, or Eto'o..and would more likely have replaced him with another big lump like Gomez, Guiza or God forbid...Crouch :?

Nope, we're keeping hold of a striker who gave us another dimension; spent much of last season up front on his own, and scored 30 goals...personally, I'm pleased :lol:

Sky Sports News have just said that their man has spoken exclusively to Ade and when pressed on whether he was definately staying at Arsneal he said he would not comment until he had met his advisiors next week!

Something fishy going on here!

All is not as clear as we first thought! See my post above!

I think if I be perfectly honest I was hoping for a big lump of cash in exchange for Ade. :oops:

And then have that cash turn into a brilliant striker.

In saying that though, I suppose its a good sign that he's decided to stay.



But does this give reason Wenger reason to make little attacking impact with transfers?

That's the main thing we won't be getting Crouch.

Glad he's staying as well, though i hate to think what his pay rise has been
