Morning all,
it’s another Adebayboring day with all kinds of stuff going on about the big, lanky prick. Let me try and summarise for you.
The Sunday Mirror says we haven’t received any bids at all and Adebayor could end up staying and finding himself about as popular as man who goes around saying ‘Oooh, you’re looking a bit chunky’ at a convention for recovering anorexics.
However, in Spain Sport (spanish) suggests that Barcelona are set to offer us Eto’o + €10m. No doubt Eto’o was a quality player but there are serious doubts over the state of his knees and he’s as mad as rabid badger after fill of magic mushrooms. On the other hand it wouldn’t be unlike Arsene Wenger to take on a player others have written off. Witness Overmars and Kanu. I get the feeling this is just Sunday newspaper fiction from Sport though. They’re saying how Adebayor’s goals last season have gotten Europe’s biggest clubs interested in the player, including AC Milan. No, not including. Limited to, I think is the right expression.
Many reports of how we’ve slashed Adebayor’s price in half which has given encouragement to both Milan and Barcelona. El Mundo reports that the Ronaldinho transfer could be decisive here though. He’s got offers from Manchester City and AC Milan. If he goes to Milan then there’s no way Adebayor is going there but it might free up enough cash for Barcelona to make a bid.
The Ronaldinho situation is a tough one though – he’s mad keen on going to the Olympics with Brazil, something Barcelona don’t want him to do and which may prove an obstacle for any club wanting to sign him. Citeh are offering him huge money but I suspect they’ll want him in from the start of the season and not have him wasting his time on the Olympics. So it’s all up in the air.
Let’s not lose sight of the fact that it was Vicenzo Morabito, a scum sucking cuntflange of an agent, who said we’ve slashed the Adebayor price. Arsenal, as ever, are remaining tight lipped and that’s the way it should be.
Speaking of the Olympics the News of the World gets the Doomometer going again by suggesting we’re facing a crisis as Alex Song has chosen to be part of the Cameroon squad. What kind of crisis are we facing next? Gael Clichy declares he’s having a cheese sandwich?
Also in the News of the World, a story about Hleb being a dirty rat – worth mentioning only for the fabulous photoshopping they did of him.
And beyond that there’s not much else to tell you this Sunday. On the plus side though there’s only 6 days until our first pre-season friendly which is fucking awesome. The new season gets closer and closer and frankly I can’t wait.
Ok, enjoy your Sunday, the sun is shining here for once so I’m going to stay inside and work all day. Hurrah!
