Arsenal Star Almost Certain to Make £25m Exit

The Rumour
Silvio Berlusconi has lifted the lid on plans for AC Milan to sign Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor.
The club’s owner and controversial Italian prime minister told fans on a weekend walkabout in Sicily of replacing Chelsea-bound coach Carlo Ancelotti with Marco van Basten, as well as bringing in unsettled Barclays Premier League star Adebayor.
‘Marco for me is like a son,’ said Berlusconi. ‘He is a piece of Milan history.’ Then when asked which new players would arrive at the Serie A giants he said: ‘There is a good chance we will get Adebayor.’

The Analysis
Ask almost any Arsenal fan and they will tell you that Emmanuel Adebayor’s time at the club is almost up. The cloud that has hung over the Togolese striker since last summer when he tried to engineer a move to AC Milan and that self same cloud has hampered his season and left him looking lazy and direction less on the field of play and even though Wenger attempted to stop the rot by supporting his man at the AGM Q&A he didn’t see fit to name him in the squad for the game at Old Trafford last week.
The Likelihood
Adebayor to AC Milan: Sure to happen the moment the Serie A club puts in a reasonable bid.

I am a staunch Arsenal fan who has always opposed the sale of the club’s key or top players to other clubs anywhere in the world. However, I have grown to dislike Emmanuel Adebayor for the simple reason that throughout the 2008/2009 season he hardly worked as a striker on the pitch. A striker must be aggressive and hungry for goals. It is regrettable that Adebayor was always exhibiting laziness and smiling on the pitch when he failed to score or win the ball from an opponent.
For the above reason, the day Adebayor will leave Arsenal will be one of the happiest day in my life. The earlier this happened the better it would be for the Club.
