The main news for Gunners today again surrounds Emmanuel Adebayor’s impending move to Manchester City.
The latest update on this saga is that Adebayor has now asked for time to ponder the move to the Eastlands.

There are reports saying that Adebayor’s agents have been offering his services to Manchester United and AC Milan, as Ade is reportedly unhappy with the wages offered to him by City. Seriously Ade do you think anyone else will be stupid enough to match or better the wages being offered by City? I think Ade will be off to City in the next couple of days as there is no other interest in him.
Hopefully it will be all wrapped up by the weekend.
One striker we are potentially interested in to replace Ade is Klaas- Jan Huntelaar. A couple of days ago it appeared as if he was heading to Germany to play for Stuttgart, however his agent has confirmed new bids have now been received.

We have been linked to Huntelaar for a number of transfer windows and I’m hoping our interest has been made concrete with a bid. The news that further bids have been received for him, and that these clubs have requested not to be named is certainly interesting and the “unnamed club” tactic is often employed by The Arsenal. Only time will tell as we won’t be making any concrete moves until Ade has decided upon his next move.
Hleb, not happy with p1ssing off every Arsenal fan last summer has decided to turn on his new employers.

Hleb is agitating for a move as he believes he hasn’t been given enough opportunities and that his manager Pep Gaurdiola is undermining players’ confidence. Wake up Alex, Barca has just won the treble in Pep’s first season in charge and are being universally lauded for their fantastic football. If you throw the fact Gaurdiola is an utter legend to the Barca faithful, I think it proves what a wally Hleb is. Did he (Hleb) actually expect to be first choice at Barca when he’s competing with Leo Messi and Henry for a place in the team? I loved seeing him celebrating after the Champions league final in a suit, serves you right Alex.
Talking of Messi, we’ve offered a trial to the new improved version.

Can’t wait to see him play for us in 2019. Seriously I’m glad we’re still picking up these young starlets with a view to the future. Keep it up Boss.
Anyway another update tomorrow or possibly tonight if Ade comes to a decision on his future.
