So after all this it was Ashley, not Mort?? Yup, turns out it was actually Mike Ashley afterall.

Gomis, Gomez, Cardozo, Turan, Sessegnon, Emana, Sahin all signing on the 21st then.

A Dutch site says that he had 1 year left on his contract so, if true, a good deal for both clubs. Aaaaah I see. Makes a lot more sense then. Surprised no prem clubs were in for him. Ddn't seem to be much competition for Schalke out there.

Wish some of our lot would take notice too. He says that every summer though and then buys a Zat Knight on the last day! I'll be taking no advice from that strange little man. We want players NOW!!!

No freakin' way should this guy come to Newcastle. It would be a ridiculous signing. Better not be us in for him. West Ham hopefully.

Surely the Farfan fee was £10 million and not Euros?! 10 million Euros is a heck of a steal if true.

This is madness. I'm a pretty optimistic guy but this is too good to be true. Milner's real value is around £4 million or less. Lovely guy, lots of effort but a distinctly plain and average footballer.

It's all Shearer's fault at the end of the day. His shadow just hangs over the club. Till Shearer is given a player manager chairman role, nothing wil ever go right for this club.

Keane on the other hand was talking about not signing anyone for Sunderland until after the Euros! Clueless

Nikola Zigic to the toon!!!

Or for less if Turkey flops and Arda doesn't do as well as they hope.

He did play well against Liverpool in the Champions League. However, this may be just more pressure being put on us to get us to up our bid, by mentioning other clubs. I mean how come Liverpool weren't mentioned all this time but we have been mentioned constantly. All a bit fishy to me.

pwned

Fair enough KD we'll agree to disagree. Adebayor is really flirting with disaster though if he jumps ship to Italy. He's had one good season in his whole career and I just think he would be wise to stick with the manager who finally managed to get something out of him. If he leaves it would be very interesting to see who Wenger brings in for him.

I like Adebayor but if he leaves Arsenal for Italy he might very well dissapear of the face of the Earth. He really isn't good enough yet. Fabiano is clearly a better player than Adebayor right now (why is that overating?). These are the facts so deal with it.

Porto and Rennes? think you've forgot them... Getting desperate are we? He only played 11 games for Rennes and 22 for Porto and things obviously didn't click for him at these clubs. At the clubs where he has played the majority of his games he has excelled though. This would be like me pulling up Henry's record at Juventus to prove he was crap despite his performances at Arsenal! Now answer me this ... what has Adebayor done besides this last season? you missed my post above ...... Ermmm i didnt say he was crap actually. I mentioned porto and rennes because you brought up his stats but conveniantly forgot to add the places where he was poor) I've watched him a lot and think you're over-rating him drastically (your comment about him above, about his attributes leads me to beleive you havent watched him much tbh). So what your basically saying is that Adebayor's touch and technique and footie brain are better than Fabiano's? If so, you're dead wrong. Fabiano would do even better than Adebayor in that Arsenal team.

Porto and Rennes? think you've forgot them... Getting desperate are we? He only played 11 games for Rennes and 22 for Porto and things obviously didn't click for him at these clubs. At the clubs where he has played the majority of his games he has excelled though. This would be like me pulling up Henry's record at Juventus to prove he was crap despite his performances at Arsenal! Now answer me this ... what has Adebayor done besides this last season?

Fabiano ... Sao Paulo: 118 goals in 160 appearances. Sevilla: 39 goals in 79 appearances. Adebayor 1 good season.

Fabiano better than Adebayor? not in a million years. Someone get this man a doctor as he has lost his freakin' mind! You would have Adebayor ahead of Fabiano?! I'm finding it very hard not to insult you right now. I actually watch spanish football an awful lot and no way in hell is Fabiano a better player than Adebayor. The guy is like 27 years old now and this has been his only successful season (probably because he's trying to get a new contract). He was super s**** at Porto and was w*** for sevilla until now. He's pacey and also a good finisher but Adebayor has much more to his game, plus he's younger too. Fabiano has always been a bit part player for which ever club he has played for (dont know much about his career at sao paulo tbh) and only now is he doing something of note. If wenger replaces Adebayor with luis fabiano, Arsenal will be a much weaker team and i'd be laughing my head off (sadly i know Wenger isnt retarded). You want to talk about history do you? Who the hell was Adebayor before he went to Arsenal? By the way Fabiano's record for Sao Paulo is phenomenal. The only thing Adebayor has over Fabiano is height and athleticism and nothing else. His touch, technique, finishing skills and brain are nowhere near Fabiano's. How you can argue this is beyond me.

Eto'o's (that looks weird ) performances against prem teams in the champions league have been convincing enough, besides he excelled for Barca who play a similar brand of football to Arsenal. He has the pace, dribbling and finishing to be effective in the prem. He is a world class striker. Like I said I'm sure Arsenal can afford to pay top dollar if they deem the player good enough.

Wage limit? How much do you think they were paying Henry then? They will pay the players who are deserving enough and who have proven enough. Adebayor and Flamini hadn't. Simple as that.

Fabiano better than Adebayor? not in a million years. Someone get this man a doctor as he has lost his freakin' mind! You would have Adebayor ahead of Fabiano?! I'm finding it very hard not to insult you right now.

Are people seriously worried about Arsenal here?! I'd be worried about AC Milan as they are getting fleeced. This would be one of the biggest heists of the century. Adebayor has had one decent season and was very much a product of the Arsenal way of playing. Italy is probably the the worst place for him. I think he would flop there, where the defences tend to sit back and not allow much space. A £26 million profit!!! Yes please. Watcj Arsenal bring in Eto'o or Fabiano or someone like that which would be an instant upgrade. Wenger still as brilliant as ever.
