Haha interesting stuff, do you frequent the delightful PFC on Wokingham Road? My house is situated pretty much right behind it on Norris Road.

Emmanuel Adebayor has asked for more time to mull over his proposed move from Arsenal to Manchester City, a transfer he fears could lead to strong criticisms of his motives in his native Togo. The striker's misgivings are such that City have been forced to delay plans for a medical while he considers their offer of a salary worth in excess of £150,000 a week.

Unfortunately I think that might come a little to soon for me, as I'm actually back in Hampshire at the moment, but will be living in Reading next fulltime for the forseeable future from next Thursday onwards, so anything after that would be ideal, and can see no reason why I wouldn't be able to attend.

Well even if Arsenal fans where annoyed by his clear disrespect towards him, by his flirting around with Milan. But sometimes you gotta look past that & just worry about what your best team is. Players these days always looking for money, you cant fight that. Losing Adebayour weakens Arsenal, Citeh on paper would smoke them 2moro.
Look at United with Ronaldo, its clear now SAF had to REALLY work hard behind the scenes to keep him @ United for as long as they did.

Best Arsenal team doesn't have Adebayor in it to be completely honest, and there is zero evidence to suggest otherwise.

Noooooo.
Also: I find the assertion that Melo is a defensive minded midfielder ridiculous. He's box to box ala. Gerrard and Lampard were earlier in their career. He's not a Makelele type player and never has been. People seem to confuse attacking midfielders and trequartista's like Kaka and Diego as the same thing.

Dunno, I think it's fine to say Gerrard (certainly in his earlier career) is/was very much a defensive midfielder, however, that of course is not to say he was a "holding midfielder" as per Makelele, though Gerrard has changed the style of his game a lot since Benitez took over. Personally I would never have labelled :Lampard as a defensive player at all, and have never come across anyone who has.
I would always think of Patrick Vieira as being a defensive midfielder, but I think a lot of people are quick to forget that players with the tag of "defensive midfielder" are not neccesarily incapable or adverse to going forward.
I don't mind those who call Kaka an attacking midfielder either to be honest, as effectively that is what he is. However, it bugs me when people say he was the "playmaker" for AC Milan, as he was nothing of the sort, that job was always done (extremely effectively as well imo) but Pirlo, and in fact very few teams in the world at the moment actually use a genuine playermaker in their system. Pirlo being the only really outstanding one that immediately springs to mind.

You're forgetting the entire season of strolling around the pitch like he's the new Henry, the denying he'd done anything wrong the previous summer and then the interview at the end of the season where he blamed the fans for the entire situation and said it wasn't his fault he played below par. Overrated, greedy ****. As sledger said earlier, I'm yet to be convinced his 30 goals season was anything but a complete anomally. Even Arsene said he doubted he was more than a 15-20 goal striker at his peak.
Just a shame we couldn't convince City that Eboue was the new Garrincha and flog him too.

Obviously have to take The Daily Mail with a grain of salt, and we'll pay massively over the odds for him but I'll be happy to see him come over. Unassuming, tough and solid defender.

All his fans would have already spent a lot of money to buy Arsenal Jersey's if he switch team now it will be added burden on them

I wouldn't call Maxwell one of the best left backs in the world (he would of gone for more money otherwise), he did get dropped for a 18 year old right back who had played a handful of Serie A and Coppa Italia games.
As for Adebayor and the reaction in Togo, it was like when Cristian Chivu joined Inter instead of Real Madrid, loads of people back in Romania gave him **** for it.
