Adebayor (merged)

[Dancini]

Blue Square are running a range of markets including Ade to score on Man City debut and to score against Arsenal - oddschecker have him at 14/1 on to leave Arsenal - surely this is a good indication?

Isn't that bet 1 quid get 15 quid back if he leaves Arsenal?

 

[BibbyBlue85]

I'm a bit worried about this "I want more time" from Adebayor. He thinks moving to City will affect his street cred, to all intents and purposes...

Strange boy. What have Arsenal won in the past 3 years anyway?

It's media bollox mate. Don't worry he is ours

I hope so. BTW Sorry for using the quote box. I generally think that people use the quote box when they're going to disagree with someone, but I'm not. Just makes it easier to highlight what you said. I'm keeping my fingers crossed as I think he'd be a good buy.

No need to apologise mate. I always use the quote box and i am generally nice ;) I believe he is ours and he would be an awesome signing. I think he could become as iconic as the Goat imo

I'm sure it will be fine but Adebayor isn't good enough for it to be a crushing blow. If he stays where he is, there are plenty of others to go at who are equally good or better. If he really is stalling, he's an idiot and we should go elsewhere.

No. Bet 14 quid to win 1 quid (and get your stake back of course).

Not when it's odds on (It's written 1/14).

How was Eto'o damaging?? We told HIM to fuck off not the other way around. We actually came out of this looking pretty good as we have always said we will not be fucked around and we weren't! Kaka is a completely different story. It was damaging but i feel Cookie came in for alot of undeserved flack. It was Milan who leaked it to the press not us, it was Milan being slimey not us and it was unfortunate that Milan made us and Cookie look like dicks (hence the "bottled it" comments). I have always stood by our Chief Exec and always will. He has done some amazing business this summer with Barry (cheap and full England international). Tevez (dragged him from the clutches of the rags and sealed it with a hug) i am sure Ade will follow and Lescott.

because from a marketing sense we'd be stronger with him than without.He raises us to an elite level.Getting Adebayor doesnt.

I did say 14/1 on ie 1/14 in other words dead cert to leave Arsenal and the range of Man City Adebayor markets would suggest that. Blue Sq are pretty certain he's coming to us!

Hopefully the Sun is right for once and we can put this saga to bed once and for all. It also means Wenger should have time to get a decent replacement in and also and DCM. Do you guys think you will be ready for the top 4 this season, being realistic, personally I think you are going to need a season to bed in. I also don't think it will be at our expense. As long as we add to our squad and don't lose anyone else I have a feeling we could have a decent season. I don't think looking at any other the other top 3(or 4 if including you) squads they are that much stronger than us. I also don't think so far the clubs such as Villa, scum etc have strengthened enough to challenge.

 

[Robinhosthumb!]

14/1 on is,bet 14 pounds to get 15pounds back in total meaning you win a quid.

Guardian are also reporting he could sign today as well. I hope they are right.

I think we could take a time to settle but there is a real buzz around the club, something I have never felt before in all my time supporting the club. I get the impression we are going to hit the ground running.

I have a soft spot for Arsenal and of all the top 4 you would be the last team I would want to punt out, however i just feel you are there for the taking. You have a very good team but there are question marks over the majority of your strikers (RVP is injury prone, Eduardo is amazing but I think he will struggle with injuries, Bendtner is...gash, Walcott is quickly becoming Aaron Lennon if he doesnt start focusing. Arshavin looks awesome though.) and cesc is acting like a little girl at the moment as well. Vermaleen really doesnt look the answer at the back, Your CB pairing is not right with Gallas and Toure, and your back up squad is very weak and inexperienced. Its just my opinion but if we are aiming for anyone in the top 4, its you.

Yeah I think we could do ok as despite 34 years of winning nothing we do not boo our players and manager just cos we have the odd bad game

Interesting view however I would like to point out that RVP was fully fit for most of last season and is raring to go as well as reaching his peak. Eduardo is an unknown at the moment but if he keeps fit who the hell knows! Our defense at the start of the season was crap, however Toure was recovering from Malaria. If you look at the defense after that we hardly let in any goals so actually not too worried that side. Or backup defense isn't that bad now, remember clichy will be back as well. Cesc will be 100% focused and Arshavin can open any defense up. If we can keep everyone fit, bring in a couple of signings and go back to our quick fluid attacking rather than using a target man I think we might just surprise you and a lot of other people. Tbh the pressure isn't on us this season!
