lets rewind to last summer.
Arsenal had the chance of cashing in on one season wonder Adebayor, but Wenger didn’t want to sell him. Not even for £30m.
AC Milan wanted him and were offering BIG money. I at the time said “TAKE THE MONEY”
This summer Arsenal are doing everything they can to get ride of Adebayor but they cant find a buyer.
From my source at the club i can confirm that Arsenal want to sell Adebayor this summer and would accept a bid of around £20m for him. But we have not received a single offer for him. It was hoped that Adebayor will be sold in order to free up some cash for new summer recruits and to lower the wage bill at Arsenal but it seems like clubs AC Milan and co no longer want Adebayor.
So whats chance from last summer? Why didnt we sell him for £30m and why did we give him a new contract reportedly on over £100k a week?
Its simply, MORE bad judgment by the manager. Add this to the fact he sold Flamini,Diarra and Gilberto and is STILL yet to replace them with a DM at the club. The fact he signed Silverstre on a 2 year deal. The fact he plays this negative 4-5-1 week in week out. The fact he is playing Nasri as a DM and Diaby as a winger.
I think you can clearly say that Wenger has lost the plot.
How can we trust this man as our manager? With money so tight at the club we cant afford to blow what money we do have on shite like Adebayor. We should of sold him last summer. A huge error by Wenger and now we are paying the price. We are going to be lucky to get £12m for Adebayor.
If he stays he is just going to be moody so we might as well get whatever we can on this lanky streak of piss.
Its going to be a shit season again unless we start to sign some players SOON.

Oh Man…Not another one.
i dont understand why alot of people want adebayor to go. its true he didnt have a good season but still should we sell every player who has 1 bad season. some people say he doesnt care about arsenal from the way he plays but that how his style has always been so thats unfair criticism. some people want chamakh for example but whats the guarantee that he will be a success in england? ide rather give adebayor another season
Boring. This article adds nothing. We all know it was a mistake to keep him and – from Wenger’s carefully chosen words this summer – its clear he wants rid of him. But if noone bids we are stuck with him. Live with it
why don’t u support Real madrid…they sign a butt load of players..
how has wenger lost the plot when he is still credited to have one of the best squads in europe (only lacking a CDM)…if u don’t support his view point of young players making it through tht’s jst too bad becoz obviously alot of ppl think it will pay dividends…
jst chill otu and give it this one extra year…if we go trophyless this season too, then i would say tht the experminet failed…yet…wenger would still be mr.arsenal
ok let put it this way. Who the hell is Arsene to have all the right answers and not be entitled to mistakes?
Arsene never sold Flamini, he left on a free and that is one simple mistake made by you too.
Diara left cos he wanted out now nd fast nd what’s the point haaving him in when you are not a prison warden. Gilberto left cos he wsnt going to get much games and probably wasnt down for the one year rolling contract.
i think it would be much appreciated if we doing some solid research and put in a lot of thought b4 we jump to comclusions or joined the bangwagon in assuming issues becos its what’s being touted around the terraces
Can you plz find something else to talk about and stop whigning about sell adebayor or we shouldnt have sold Flamini etc.
Do you think Wenger doesnt know what the team needs and doesnt need? He has been a coach for as long as we can remember and has won trophies. If he never won anything then we would be justified with all the rap about him.
I guess if you were a Middlesborough fan you would have have a coronary or jumped ship with the decision to stick with Southgate
I really pray people like you never end up in football management.
Crappy Blog indeed
I tell you what mate….. you echo everything i have been saying for ages.
Even when he scored his 30 goals it was plain to see that was because Eduardo was acting as his foil allowing him the time and space he needed. When Eduardo got injured , Adebayors goals ended, Arsenal weren’t doing to bad last season till Adebayor got injured.
we have nothing to look forward to this season if he stays along with the other goons,
eboue, diaby, song and dennilson….
They are okay…. but not Arsenal players.
and if ade stays, it’s not the end of the world.. we have enough stikers for cover if he is shite this season too..
i jst wish he would show some understanding of the offside rule…
Sinbad, I love your comments, I really do.
You are a true supporter, you know exactly how to run this team. I cannot believe we still have Wenger in charge.
Hopefully he will read this and understand that you know so much about the club and the players. You don’t even need to watch how they train or how they get on with other players.
This and Le Grove are my favourite Arsenal blogs, you make perfect sense.
Its great how you say that he sold Flamini when everyone else thinks otherwise. Wow, how the hell did you do that?
I just hope we can do really badly again next season just so I can be happy moaning and thinking that I am right.
Keep up the great work Sinbad.
Calm down son,
Its not just about Adebayour.
Right now you are focussing on whats in front of you.
Look the real problem is in defense………. and in the DM position THATS IT end of.
Ade can score lots of goals for us, will score lots of goals for us, he has scored lots of goals for us.
You sound like you need somebody to blame in order to move your life forward.
If you are so convinced thats its going to be a “shit” season….. do yourself a favour and go support someother team that always gets it right. Then you can be happy.
If you cant do that Just chill the F**k out.
What a crock of shit! How have a club like Arsenal ended up with so many ignorant buffoons masquerading as their fans. Please do us all a favour and go down the lane you miserable whingeing unt.
Another “authority” on the subject of what Wenger should and should not do. These “experts” are boring, no depth, nothing.
Christ, talk about doom and gloom. Try some relaxation techniques…? Maybe scented candles and Yoga
Most serious reports I read last year had Milans bid at £19m but Wenger wanted £30m. Seemed a reasonable enough figure – if he’d gone and had a good season in Milan there’d be lots of websites moaning about Wenger’s lost the plot by selling blah blah.
Wenger’s judgement is better than yours or mine, that’s why he’s where he is and we’re where we are.
hasnt won a trophy in 4 years, and havent won the league in 6 so to say he’s a manager that wins trophies is wrong… he used to, he’s either lost his way, or arsenal arent able to compete with their big spending rivals…. which ever it is, if your content with the situation at arsenal then so be it, but i cant imagine everyone that continually backs wenger no matter what happens at arsneal will be in the same frame of mind next year when its been 5 years without a trophy and all we have is (hopefully) champions league qualifacation to look forward to…
SINBAD
Really?
I at the time said “TAKE THE MONEY”
This summer Arsenal are doing everything they can to get ride of Adebayor but they cant find a buyer.
Now I know never to read you pile of $%#%#. You at the time say take the money! YOu have such great judgment about the quality and what football players bring to a team YOU SHOULD BE A MANAGER DUDE!
or you can just F*&&@ off and go support Spurs or some other team where they need scumb*g like you as fan.
I am tired of your like knowing it all and criticizing Arserne.
F*** off
Cheers,
Blogs like this have nothing to do with Arsenal or proper Gooners. They’re like Talksport, masquerading as a forum for fans, but actually just winding them up and sniggering over the results. Everyone, just do yourselves a favour and ignore it. The football season starts soon…
The real question is: ” Why do fuckwits with pea sized brains go to all the effort to write blogs, when they are so facile, superficial and pointless?” Surely, if you are not capable of carrying out an intelligent analysis and providing some insight, you would be better off spending your time creosoting the garden fence!
Where does this coward live ?
I think this blog needs to be called arsenal reaction or may inaction. “TAKE THE MONEY” aren’t you just the greatest manager in the world. I am sure with you at the helm we would have done the Triple or maybe a couple of successive Quads. The season is not even underway and here you are sniping away already. Do me and other gooners a favour and don’t bother going to the grove as its knobs like you who will be booing if we are not 3 nil up at half time in the first game of the season.
dude shut up!!! dont bother if u no nothing bout football (u know u were all thinking it)
to the A-SS Hole the wrote this article. Please stop writing because your lack of brains is disturbing i mean trying to put down a manager that has worked miracles on a sheo string budget. u C.U.N.T
sinbad you’re a wanker
I disagree strongly with you, but I wont add any more insults to the hundreds here already!
If Arsene had sold Ade, and he had a good season in Milan, would your article instead slate AW for selling him on? I think so.
We are all frustrated as Arsenal fans, but youre going a bit over the top again. I was just beginning to pay attention to this blog again, and you go and post another Wenger-bashing article.
The transfer window is only just open and you have written us off already.
There is no other manager in the world that would do it better in Arsenal mate. Fuck man, we have probably spent less cash on our whole squad then the other top clubs spend in a season. Yet we finish top four in the world. Thanks to Wenger. I hope i never leaves.
SINBAD THIS ARTICLE IS A PIECE OF SHIT… ADEBAYOR, NOT THE BEST BUT ONE BAD SEASON DOESNT MEAN YOU SHOULD WRITE THIS. IF HE CAN PRODUCE THIRTY GOALS IN ONE SEASON HE CAN DO IT AGAIN. iF THAT MEANS HE NEEDS EDUARDO THEN IT DOESNT MATTER BECAUSE HE IS BACK. tHINKING ABOUT IT EDUATRDO DIDNT REEALLY BEGIN TO GET USED TO ALMOST HALFWAY THROUGH THE SEASON SO YOUR THEORY IS FUCKING SHIT. iF IT CAN BE SCORED ONCE IT CAN BE DONE AGAIN.. ADEBAYOR ISNT THE OLDEST PLAYER EVER ASWELL THERE IS MORE TO COME REMBER THAT. AND YES WE NEED A DEFESIVE MIDFIELDER WHICH IS A OBVIOUS BUT THAT IS IT… NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS. THE ARSNEAL SQUAD WE HSVE NOW IS PACKED WITH TALENT AND IF YOU LOOK AT IT CAREFULLY YOULL REALISE THAT.
AND FOR ALL YOU FUCKERS THAT INSULT EBOUE, YOU LOT ARE FUCKING IDIOTS, WHEN AT RIGHT BACK HE IS A GREAT PLAYER THAT DOESNT GET INJURED, LOOK AT HIS PERFORMANCES AT RIGHT BACK THIS SEASON AND YOU’LL REALISE. I CANT LIE HES SHIT IN MIDFIELD BUT IN DEFENCE HE IS GREAT. SO DONT FUCKING INSULT HIM.
IN EVERRY DEPARTMENT APART FROM DEFENSIVE MIDFIELD WE HAVE A CHAPIONSHIP WINNING TEAM, SO LETS GET BEHINF THE TEAM AND WENGER AND HELP OUR TEAM WIN IT THIS SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’am so happy to see all you real Arsenal fans.
People who stand up to these fake people claiming to be (GOONERS)
You Mr with your so called ARSENAL CONTACTS don’t know SHIT.
How about Arsene Wenger or to your Mr Wenger you dumb shit has faith in ADE.
That same kind of faith that pricks like you don’t have.
He is Le Boss and with our team getting stronger with the likes of Thomas, Eddie, Arsharvin,young Theo with that pace i think you should put an early bet on us(THE ARSENAL)that we take champions leauge, prem leauge,and FA Cup.
BITCH !!!!!!!!!
Actully I think Adebayor will come good this season, though I’ll admit that Wenger might have lost the plot somehow if he is yet to buy a DM when the season kicks off. For example Lorik Cana is available for around 7-10m, and yet it seems like Wenger is more interested in Matuidi, which is exactly the opposite of what he said he was bringing in this summer. He told us that he wanted experience for a change, yet Vermaelen was brought in (he does have experience, but he is still rather unproven at top level) where’s Cana is 25 (26 on the 27th) and he is the captain of Marseille, played in the Champions League and the UEFA cup. He has also been playing continually since he joined Marseille, which is a good thing when our squad is riddled with injury woes.
I personly believe that we would win the Premiership and/or more if Wenger invested in a real badass on the middle to protect Cesc and the back-four, and I think that Cana is the missing link to our success, but I guess time will tell.
Here’s what we do. We ignore this guy. He’s obviously not particularly bright. And he’s definitely got a whole bunch of issues … scary issues. I for one won’t be responding again here. In the meanwhile let’s all hope social services get to him in time.
Bye-bye Sinbad and your 1001 pantomime rants.
I suppose you also think, your girl is gonna go off with your best mate, you’re dog will get run over, you will be made redundant and a your house will be hit by lightening!!!. Go and take your medication you bipolar idiot !
I think Ade’s heart has left town, best he follow it. It’s not a slight to anyone, it happens. Do you really want that influence in the team? This chamahk may not succeed but has a workman like attitude. Wenger can’t be expected to maximize profits in every transaction but some changes should be made. It’s ok to hold a young squad together but coddling too many underperformers won’t help us.
As we stand I expect us to start the season brightly, but concerned we fall away at the end of the season.
Thank god Adebayor is staying. Last season he had his main provider missing for 4 months, Cesc, and he didn’t have Hleb, Rosicky or Flamini behind him. He effectively had to get used to a whole new midfield and they needed to get used to him. Also Van Persie was sharing the forward role all season, whereas Adebayor the season before had it all to himself. When Cesc did play, he had to play deeper than the season before because of no DM – instead playing more forward to back up Aebayor. Also Adebayor had injury spells.
….. So it’s hardly frickin surprising his last season wasn’t like the previous one. Next season though, if everyone remains fit, he’s got Eduardo and Rosicky back, he’s got Arshavin providing, he’s got Cesc back, possibly a DM to enable Cesc forward, Van Persie and Nic Bendtner who’s looking more like the biz by the week.
As for “Arsene Wenger’s poor judgement” …. read your post (or should I say judgement).
Just want to know one thing. Where do you sit?
Why are you still writing? You’re an embarrassment. I can’t comprehend why this rubbish is even on the web. Get a brain.
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO GIVE THIS VIDEO TO ALL YOU REAL ARSENAL FANS.
FROM KIDDER WITH LOVE.
STAY GOONERISH!!!!!!!!!!

Sinbad….you must be that fat w@nker from Brookie, because you know sh1t about Arsenal or Wenger you big buffoon.
On analysis, you have no story.nothing to say really.
you lie that flamini was sold when he went on a bosman. you want flamini to have been kept after one good season in four, but ade to be sold after one good season out of two (1st full season he scored 12, next 30)then AW was supposed to wave him good bye? where is your thinking?
FYI the reason flamini’s contract ran out was coz he was failing to prove himself and so arsenal thought to cut their loses. so far they are yet to be proven wrong as flamini has not yet proved himself at ac.
you have some good points but you really need to calm down…you are writing us off before the season has even begun….
cast your mind back to the summer we sold henry…and look what happened that season….we were the best team in the league by far…only a couple of injuries and a bad run of games following those injuries cost us what should of been our title….
lets not write the team off just yet…lets go into the new season with a positive attitude….but if we stay injury free and wenger still makes the same decisions as last year…i.e. playing eboue at LW and bendtner at RW and diaby at LW and song at RB and we end up with nothing again….its fair to say wenger will be out of excuses….
the 1st team squad isnt young anymore…we have plenty of experienced players so that excuse is out of the window…
if our main players are fit for the majority then that excuse will be out of the question too….
theres still plenty of time left yet in the transfer window and theres a whole season to look forward to….
lets have this discussion again next may…..if we are in the same situation then wenger should be questioned….thats what hes paid 6mil a year for….
Here I thought you were going to complain that Wenger had decided to keep Adebayor. He may have done so, but you have your “inside” sources, yuk yuk (really believable!) who say Wenger wants to sell, but no one will buy. Now you don’t criticize the asking price, which is pretty decent, certainly more than anyone would pay if they shared your opinion of Adebayor.
So you put Wenger’s decision a year ago into the present tense.
What utter, infantile, stupid gibberish. Plus, you obviously have no sense of what makes a good football player.
Makes me long for the pre-blog days when the only danger of hearing people like you was if I had the bad luck to get a seat near you at the ground.
Would you still take the money if he turned out to score another 30 this season and we won the title? No you wouldn’t, you’d be singing his name and fighting through the crowds at the bus tour.
Sinbad your an absolute p***k and if I see you continuing to write such sh*t I’m coming for you. Seriously!
100% bullshit… Sinbad, either you are trying to rile people or you are just a stupid cunt. Not a single fact in there. Did Ac Milan bid £30M last year? Did they fuck. Ade is on 80K a week not over 100K . You know nothing and are talking pure shit. I’m sick of these braindead blogs pushing some twisted anti-Arsenal agendas. Why would we sell a top striker when there is nobody we can buy to replace him? You talk of signing more players, when there aren’t any and we haven’t the cash even if there were…. and at the same time push for selling the few established players we do have. We can’t just sell our players for any amount we wish, someone has to bid for them first you thick cunt. Fuck off and write a blog about some other football club, I’m sick of your ilk.. you and people of your persuasion and views are the biggest problem Arsenal FC has to deal with at the moment.
p.s. you are a thick cunt Sinbad the sailor… please fuck off now
Right let us nip this matter in the bud here and now, some mugs who profess to support Arsenal demand more signings to push us towards success…newsflash, the club simply can’t afford to buy multiple quality players unless we sell first; who the hell is going to pay £20M+ for Adebayor??? Let’s get serious! Secondly, for as much as £10-15M per player we can afford to spend on one player, who is out there that is better than what we we have??? Do some of these mugs want the club to go bankrupt in the search for glory??? As long as we get another centre-back and a holding midfielder we will be fine (sell Toure if need be to generate an additional £10M). If we have to go with the likes of Eboue, Senderos and yes Adebayor next season, bit the lip and back the boys as our home support sucks!
This article is the biggest load of bollacks i have ever heard. Is the Author in a position to claim he knows more than Arsene Wenger? Clearly not! So he should keep his pathetic opinions to himself. Does the author even play football? Probably not considering his views. Anyone with a few brain cells can see that Wenger is one of the best managers in the game. If Arsenal win the league next season i bet all those that complain about Wenger will start saying they always knew his managerial strategies where the best! If anyone bad mouths Wenger they are simply idiots!
Are your sure you’re an Arsenal fan? Coz i think you’d rather support Real Madrid you low lyk ****
low lyf i mean
Sinbad keep up with fantastic work!I like to see how you and your articles affect on Wenger lovers!He isn’t a saint,he deserves every sentence you wrote against him,and message for those who are attacking you-stop kissing Wengers ass,and use some antibiotics cause you can easily catch an infection
THE GOOD THING. THE ONE REAL GOOD THING. IS THAT AW DOES NOT LISTEN TO ADVICE FROM YOUR LOT. POOR SOD!
…”I at the time said “TAKE THE MONEY”. LOL! Who are you? I’m sure Arsene heard you….lol. You are a clown. At least, I know not to read anything you’d be writing in the near future.
Supporting Arsenal is a choice, not an obligation….THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME FOR YOU TO SWITCH TO REAL MADRID!!!
Those era of Tony Adam, Petit,Overmas,Van bronchost,captain Viera, Kanu, Wiltord, Keown, Thiery and Pires are gone & there’s nothng we can do to convince the board to replace them with the same calibre unless they sale the club.Ths board are only interested to return the money with some big interest whch they use to build tht gud 4 nothng stadium. STOP BLAMING WENGER. Without wenger we would have been relegated longtime b4.
