I really can't see him staying with us AT ALL. First of all he wasn't popular but with his latest commetss I doubt anyone actually stilll likes the guy.

As I understood on the official site,he has a groin injury,he personally doesn't want to go ,and AW will not sell him cause he want to keep the squad together so I am not so convinced anymore he is leaving

So in 1 season his price has droped by half. Last summer he was apparently a £30m player and we rejected a huge bid for him. NOW 1 season later he is a £15m player.

Proves that people like me and gb are right. ONE SEASON WONDER

Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor could be on his way to AC Milan with the Italian side set to bid £15m for the Togo international

Sinbad don't forget me !Last year it was 30mil. and now it is 15mil. and don't forget extension of his contract from last year,that also have influence on his price now...cause of that his REAL price could be even less than 15mil.

I think it's wrong to call him a one season wonder although he was awesome last season and this season he failed to reproduce any of it consistantly and failed all expectations. At face value I'd agree, but, a one season wonder in my mind is someone who has a good season by a fluke and then can't reproduce the same form afterwards. Ade though, is capable of doing this year in year out BUT he's lazy, too F##king lazy.
Because of his performances last season (07/08 that is) he sees the media coverage and the fans loving him and he thinks to himself that he's made it now. He's got no drive to perform weekly now and instead opts to rest on his achievments.

So one season wonder - no
Lazy - yes
Can be great again - yes

I rather keep Adebayor if we don't sign a proper replacement!

I'd promote Vela in the team and give Jay Simpson a first team place.

£15m for ADe

He is worth more then that, I think this is just paper talk.

And how do we know that Milan bid £30m for him last summer?

But that's not replacing Adebayor, it would result in a total change of tactics, as well as a lack of phsyical presence up front.
