As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

agreed.
This has a big potential to come back and bit us in the arse.
i am saying this not cos of my hate of adebayor but i honestly believe it,we cannot win the premiership with adebayor at the club.
he creates a divide between the team,the fans hate him and the rest of the team dont get the full support because of it.
i remember the beginning of the 07/08 season,the kids started wonderfully with willy g as captain because there was a real feeling of us against everyone that held things together.
plus if you really think this *word censored* can come back after slaughtering the fans and being a lazy fucker then your deluded

I'm not saying we shouldn't sell. But for the right price and to the right place.

£30mill or nothing
Thats quite true, if santa cruz can fetch 18 mil then you would expect at least 10 million more for ady but maybe his poor showing last season has lowered his value.
Although santa cruz had a lot of injuries last season but still fetched 18 million.

Cesc was shite last year anyway.
By his standards and not as bad as people make it out to be, in the end we created more chances, scored more goals and won more matches with him in the team.

Why does this involve cesc? Its about adebayor, anyway stats are useless when it comes to "missed " chances, how do you know how difficult the chance was,if it was blocked by great defending of keeping so unless you analyse every single chance i.e. how far out, what angle etc etc there is no way you can base any argument on those stats imo.
Saying that lazybarndoor had the miss of the season when he headed against the bar in the last minutes against roma at home.
He's caused problems whereever he's been, let him go and create a bit of unrest as City with Robinho and Terry . I'd get as much as possible out of them though.
