Wenger Staying at Arsenal, Adebayor Leaving

Morning all. Lack of any trophies to play for and lack of any real news has caused a severe lack of motivation for me to write blogs lately, but I figured I need to get back to it, so I'm here today. It's been raining here for 5 days straight. This is Florida, it's supposed to be sunny. It pretty much sucks.

The main topic of news the last few weeks has been about Arsene Wenger possibly taking up the manager position at Real Madrid, who have always wanted him and never gotten him. Well Wenger has again put the speculation to bed, saying he's staying at Arsenal.

"I'm staying here.

"If that changes I will let you know, but don't worry about that. It's not an issue."

To me, it was never in doubt that he would stay. Out of all the times he's been linked with another job, he's always been loyal and stayed, and I didn't really think it would be any different this time. Real Madrid wouldn't give him the control he wanted and they certainly would not allow to stay manager if he went four years without a trophy there. It's not the right job for him. It's just the press fiending for stories while there aren't any. So Wenger will be here, don't you all worry about that.

The other big stories this week have revolved around Emmanuel Adebayor, and whether or not he'll be sold in the summer. If you've read the blog for a while (and my thanks to those of you who have and are still here) then you know that I've almost ALWAYS backed Adebayor, even while 90% of Arsenal fans were bashing his head in with a mallet. However, I DO think he will be sold this summer. I don't think it's right the way he's been treated this year by the fans though. This is a guy who scored 30 goals for us last year almost by himself while RvP and Eduardo for out for large portions of the season, yet when he doesn't repeat the feat every year he gets blasted. The guy is a good striker that his given a lot to this club. No, he's not my favorite player but I do think he at least deserves some respect from fans for what he has done for us. Unfortunately I do think Arsenal will cut ties with him if they receieve a decent bid from AC Milan or Inter. Hopefully we use that money to buy a center back...

So the end of the season is almost here, which means transfer speculation will start with a rush. All I want for Christmas though is a center back and a central midfielder. I also wouldn't mind if Diaby was sold. I'll really get in depth with the transfer previews after the Stoke match. Look for a two part transfer preview starting next Monday, including potential targets, speculation, and all of that good stuff.

On a side note today completely not about Arsenal, please boycott Soulja Boy's music, because he is the worst thing to happen to music since Kanye West. Thanks for destroying rap music you two.

That's all I've got for today. I'll try to get something up tomorrow. So until then.

Well one has to wonder really - is Ade really a Gunner or is he using this as just a stepping stone? Surely he has the potential to be the nex Drogba but was his one season wonder just the world's biggest marketing scheme? He's been blighted by injuries and a dip in form this season (or so he's come to have us believe) but when reports of a drop in his stock begin to emerge - he suddenly finds the net in glorious fashion. Once those aforementioned reports die down and interest from Beyonce becomes eminent again then he's back to being Le Sulk II. In all honesty I think Ade is just chasing the paper and his services are up for the highest bdder.

First comment ever on a blog - gotta say Arsenole i have been following this blog for like couple of months and i must say its equally informative as well as funny! Few points wanted to share with all arsenal fans 1) Ade has been off par this season but fans need to get behind him more and i know if i was a player i would be somewat dismayed if i was booed by my own teams fans 2) Get rid of pensioner Silvestre what a fooking liability! 3) We need 2 decent players this summer. Over and out...

Quite glad to have you anon, and I hope you'll come back more often to comment. I'm glad you feel for Ade as I do, he hasn't been at his best no but most fans don't give him a fair shake either.
