wenger should sell ade to barca for a huge sum and bring in villa. villa is a lot LOT better striker than ade can be in a million years. santacruz is better than ade but i would still prefer to see david villa up front.

Adebayor should go and Santacruz is brought in. He is a better finisher and he is wiser than Ade.

dis togo man ade we cant afford to loose him in our next season lookin at his performances in d last season he’s a good playmaker and drivers dt tends to terrorise opponent defence in his playmakin and we ave to look again at d last when most of our strikers are ruled out by injury he stands without been liable 2 be injured my only comment about him is he loses much goals bcos accdin to his starts last season he(ade) suppose to be the highest goal scorer nn the premier league but due to incapability and loss of goals he was dropped down.however i insist dt we still need dis togolese next season hopin he will improve on goals

Haha, Dave!

Gillespie is my surname – a wierd coincidence – i.e. Gillespie Road, and Gillespie Park which are near both Highbury and Emirates – and the Arsenal tube station – previously known as Gillespie Road Station.

I don’t live there though.

Arsenal cannot afford to lose Adebayor, I don’t think Van Persie can ever stay healthy and frankly he’s the only consistent player on that squad.

On the other hand, if you lose him, I won’t have to worry about the Gooners challenging Man Utd for the title!

Evening all! i have read reports this morning linking Mourinho with a move for Van Persie. How is it that this man still has the cheek to even dream of signing an arsenal player after the Ashley Cole scandal??? Van Persie is an important player when fit, and i do admit we are yet to see the best of him because of his injuries but my faith in him is deep because he is an amazin talent. his left foot is incredible and not many left footed players around the world can match his. (remeber his heavenly goal against Charlton) so Mourinho DO 1!! and leave our players alone!!!…when the season was drawing to a close i couldn’t wait for the rumor mill to start running, and see who we would be linked with. 1st it was Ben Arfa, then it was Villa saying his preferred destination would be Arsenal because of their style of play, next it was Nasri and then Ramsey. the Ben Arfa stories stopped when we had agreed a deal wid Marseille for Nasri, then the Nasri stories stopped when apparently Arsenal and Nasri couldn’t agree on the wages so he wont be signing now until after the euro’s, Villa is too expensive but its always good to dream ) and apparently today Sky Sports are saying Villa would welcome a move to Liverpool??? WHY? so he can battle it out for fourth place with Everton… and well ramsey is offiacialy an Arsenal player, so some progress has been made. last season 1reason why we failed to win anything was because we didnt have the squad depth to cope in all competitions. so with FlamMoney gone Vela and Ramsey both in, along with Gibbs, Randal, Gilbert, Nordveit and Merida all being promoted to the 1st team it looks like we might just have the depth to cope providing Adebayor stays. however having said this, it does not mean the sqaud will have the experiance to last the distance? Helbs basically left so i would say that we need two more signings and they both have to be significant. One to show our ambition as a club, two, to improve in weak areas and three, to add the leadership we were lacking at times last season. So with Nasri its fingers crossed but who else should we try to sign? Albiol? Navas? Moutinho? Quaresma? Richards? Downing? whoever we sign i hope and pray they can slot right in to the team and bring the silverwear back to its rightful home at Arsenal. Arsenal4life

I agree wholeheartedly with jamesgillesp – Adebayor might have missed lots of golden opporunities, but what striker doesn´t? And he DID score quite a few! He also worked his nuts off fighting a lone battle against two or more opposing team defenders in most of the games due to illness or unfitness of other players.
I used to reckon Bendtner was a real hope but he doesn´t appear to have improved at all this season.
By the way, James, are you from Gillespie Road or just remembering Highbury?

@ on d gooner – Ade did score 30 goals, the likes of Van Persie weren’t even around to do that.
For Senderos it’s more of a mind game, he did manage to handle Koller against the Czech’s to an extent. Maybe the next striker would not get into his head. Give the lad a chance.
The world of the Tony Adams is no longer there. Hence, I doubt you would get another Tony Adams. Agreed that having English players would make it less likely for them to move. But the pressure is not from Arsenal for the British players to perform. It’s from the British press which hypes them beyond all logical means.

on d gooner, Ade still scored 30 goals – it doesn’t matter how many he missed. Surely that means that he can score like 50 goals for us if his accuracy improves – a result of 30 goals is still 30 goals.
