Like Arshavin?lowerwest wrote:the replacement will cost half the amount & will have the same old teething problems of settling into our way of playing.
Do City really need Adebayor? This strikes me as possibly a leak by city to hurry up the Tevez deal. That being said, if the plan is to play Robinho on the wing next season, then this could be an interesting option.
City for now have to content themselves with purchasing mercenaries, and with Santa Cruz's injury history and Tevez not being a goal-scoring striker he would be a top addition to the club.
Adebayor is a goal-scorer and with van persie being injury prone, eduardo still a bit injury prone and Bendtner not good enough we would miss his presence.
If he goes i doubt wenger buys a replacement

but i do like this quote from le boss;
"Obviously, yes, because I’m at a point in my career where I must consider these things. I’ve been at Arsenal for twelve years and I do not want to become stagnant. But, I refused because I have built a young team and I wanted to finish what I started. There’s no doubt that this will be a decisive year. If this team is not challenging for a title, the club will rebuild everything."
lets hope its true the last bit

I think thats fair enough, we saw enough from the team last yeat to see that there is a lot of ability there, they deserve another crack at it with a decent defence behind them (which will hopefully be sorted).ramon wrote:but i do like this quote from le boss;

If it doesnt work, then its back to the drawing board, seems fair to me.

Selling an ineffective player who has long since given up is not weakening the squad.goonersid wrote:This is all so well and so good, but it will be a complete disaster if the cash is not used to buy another striker, and just who would we get? There won't be too many decent stikers on the continent looking to come here given our wage structure and the 50% tax rate.
If he does go it will weaken the squad in an area where we are already light given the proneness to injury of most of our strikers. So I would be very concerned until I see a replacement.
This is good news, now the team can go back to the snappy passing which teams cant cope with (rather then all this slow, sideways passing bollox that gets broken down at the wings when Ade gets it and passes back to who passed it to him) and if a plan B needs to be used then Wenger will just send for Bendtner for his height.
Ain't ideal but then Ade is no loss and would rather that then have to watch his arrogant excuse of a footballer lead the line any more.
