Adebayor scoring vital goals is not the same as Adebayor working hard for the team. if he wants to go then let him. cash in, replace him and solve the midfield & defensive problems we have. then we can challenge on all fronts. Until then we will always be scraping into the top 4 in competitions & coming 4th in the league. Our attacking quality is top notch but lacks physical presence (Bendtner should be bullying most defences but doesn’t have that cunning streak in him…yet?) so a replacement of that type would be essential if he leaves. Hangeland has more than proven himself in the premier league so that one is a no brainer. a tiger in midfield (palacios would have cost us 1 million!?!?!) is also a must. Also agood utility squad player with some good experience would be nice too. We shall see.

Since the media is spreading that AW only has 13m pounds to spend this summer, I suppose that we have no choice but to sell Adebayor if we want to strengthen the squad at positions with more need for talent and experience, namely CB and CDM.

Also, I think our strikers can hold the fort if Ade leaves, even if we lack in size up front (save for Bendtner). A striker crop of RVP, Walcott, Edu, Bendtner, Vela and Arshavin? is good enough for me, as long as the problems in the middle and the back of the park are solved.

The truth for all arsenal fans hurts- that Ade in 07-08 season was actually one of the best goal scoring season machines we have ever had. The problem with Ade is that he thinks he should be rated as a World great. That sickens me and most Arsenal fans. He wants to be treated like we treated Henry which can never happen. He is a hardworker when he wants be- but the real problem this year-he does not want to work that had. In fact all games he has played with the right attitude has seen him score or assist.

Arsenal fans are just unforgiving-we want trophies NOW and anyone who doesnot show that desire but will talk to outsiders about what he wants and NOT what the team wants MUST GO.

But lets not be quick about seeing his backside on Arsenal-His absence this season saw the team scoring 4 goals in 6 weeks with two games resulting in draw. If he goes-which he seems to want- Arsenal Board must get either Dzeko or Grafite from Wolfsburg for physical presence. If however Ade goes and the greedy board does NOT give Wenger the Money then we are into some more attacking dangers. Bendtner cannot replace Adebayor but can create the presence in the box -for how long definitely NOT a season.

Ade may also miss the tricky part of the season when he goes for AFCAN so selling him now may NOT bring in as much cash as we might hope.

Conclusion- Ade wants to go -Wenger knows it, the fans dont want him, the board might want the cash. But we need defenders-NOT Silvestre- NOT Djoru ,Song. We need a defender with a mean quality-Nate mentioned Hangeland- terrific idea but FULHAM has just gotten into Europa and may not SELL or Arsenal Borad may Not buy.

I think he’s a great player but if he isnt 100% in it for Arsenal then cash him in…

we need some physicality in the front line as someone else said.. coming up against physical defence like that of Man U and Chelsea we cant break them down..

I’d love to see Wenger sell off Adebayor and use the funds to buy Edin Dzeko from Wolfsburg. The guy is a beast, can score with his head and is skillful as well..

In summary I want Dzeko up front, Blaise Matuidi brought in as a CDM and Hangeland as some tough tall timber in defence..

I would like to look at what he offers us as a striker and ignore the attitude part or the fact he thought that he had replaced Henry so should be on his wage level, or be let go to Milan where his supposed standing as one of the worlds great strikers would be better appreciated. I think he is a good striker and awkward for defenders but not quick or mobile enough over short distances in the box and is not clinical enough with chances. Our strike force next year could read Eduardo, RVP, Arshavin, Walcott, Bendtner and Vela. If we sold him do we need another striker? I would actually consider owen on a free. You wouldn’t get a full season out of him but we don’t need that and he could be a useful back up addition to our strike force and a more natural box predator than some of our others. He has big game experience and would certainly score goals at Arsenal when fit and playing and I think would give us a balanced and prolific strike force with strength in depth to cope with injuries. This option would also allow any money raised from Adebayor to be spent elsewhere. Top central defenders don’t come cheap.

For a big fella he does not score enough with his head. He also gets caught offside far too often.

Whilst i’d be glad to see him go, it would again bring Arsenal back to where they were when henry was last in the team – very one-dimensional. We need a big target man, but I’m not sure that he’ll ever be good enough for that role. Maybe its Bendtners time to step up?

All of the erst of the strikers are far too small, which renders our set-pieces impotent.

In summary, let him go, but get a big effective replacement, the other existing strikers will not be effective otherwise

I am an african but a serious, infact, dangerous arsenal fan, supporter and follower. Can someone please eject, flush out, or even chase Adebayor from the club and replace him with someone more consistent. We need trophies!!!

WORLDCLASS??????/HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! after one fluke season he thinks he’s HENRY. Henry KNEW he was worldclass but NEVER reminded people about it,he just made his performance speak for him.” worldclass my ****! Not a Bentner fan but his WORKRATE IS AWESOME and his desire to get into positions is commendable.
