In the race to sign Arsenal’s Togolese striker Emmanuel Adebayor, AC Milan look to have admitted defeat, just a few days after AC Milan vice president Adriano Galliani proclaimed that he was to be their only transfer target this summer:
Milan remain true to their word, either Adebayor comes or we keep things as they are.
Milan have conceded that Barcelona may have the edge in the race for his signature, and the Rossoneri only have a “50% chance” of signing the striker. Reports suggest that Arsenal have already agreed a €27million deal with Barcelona, but major football agent Ernesto Bronzetti beleives the deal relies on Barca offloading players:
I do know they won’t have the economic means to buy him until they sell Eto’o or Ronaldinho, so I’d advise Milan not to buy either of them or they’ll finance the operation of taking Adebayor to Barcelona.
Bronzetti sees Eto’o and Ronaldinho leaving as key to the Adebayor deal, with both players being told publically that they can leave, a move Bronzetti views as a bad one, losing the Catalans time and money:
Saying the players weren’t needed was a massive strategic error. Now anyone who wants to buy those players is maybe going to wait until August 29.
They’ve spent €57million euros already and their finances aren’t infinite, so now if wait a bit the price for Ronaldinho and Eto’o will go down.

how is this “dumb bullshit”? What gunner fan afraid to see their only capable striker leave?

i hope this is as a lie. If true then the headline should be ‘arsenal 1-0 barcelona, laporta o.g’. I will be so upset if this transfer goes thru

What makes this worse is the amount spent on Samir Nasri, a seriously over-hyped player.

u r right Joe i do think Nasri i over hype but under AW give him time he will pan out.i also think if Ade goes and we get a proven striker like eto, a good center back we should b in good shape to fight for the prem next season,i do not think Ade will score 20 goals next season no matter where he goes.i think if we have someone like Juan Roman Riquelme the most underrated midfielder in the world ,but i think he is the best we would surely win the league.

seriously wank wank wank what a load of absolute shit. Chelsea gonna piss and crap all over the rest next season. The colour is blue, so fuck all of you.

adebayor is not leaving…end of.
so reli its arsenal 1.. evry1 else interested in ade 0.
we have nasri in the bag, silva will come to the emirates to be with his mate fabregas n hopefully lescott will decide to sign for us too. ramsey also provides good cover and either boruc or green will sign to be no. 1 keeper at arsenal.
then its our year next season.

and to cfc4ever:
chelsea will flop big time next season , jose n milan r in 4 all ur players n most will go to be with ‘the special’ one again i.e lamps, drog,carlvalho,malouda, paulo ferreira, shevchenko n maybe even cech.
also u arent buying any class jus over hyped has-beens who r looking to see out there careers. why do u think players go to chelsea, coz of the extremely high salaries they r offered, then they fink ‘fuck it im earning all this cash i cnt be fucked to play to be honest’. this is wot apened to shevchenko, ballack (altho he has rivived his career) n now lamps. so wot do u thinks gna apen wen players like deco cum in hu is 30 bearing in mind n will be offered a substancial amount of money.. he will flop jus like chelsea next season.
u need to gt sum heart in ur team. apart frm terry, cole, and essien ( who love the club) u jus have money driven players, who put up against players who play for their badge i.e fabregas r jus not gonna cum off better.

if adebayor comes to barca it wont be good cause barca has so many stiker and another one.no ways should the gunners sell adebayor and barca should not accept the deal.ronaldinho and eto wants to leave too but they should stay because barcelona is a great club and most probably they enjoy it.may be barcelona should go and try to young players like David Silva this is how i think barcelona’s first 11 should be GK-Valdes,Central Defence-Puyol and Milto,Left Back-Abidal Right Back-Zambrotta,DM-Iniesta CM- Xavi and Deco RAM-Messi and LAM-Ronaldinho ST-Bojan and Cental forward Eto’o.
