Adebeyor isn't gone just yet, expect Arsenal to jack up the asking price to the point where AC Milan will have to look elsewhere to fill their void upfront.

Yeah I am not counting Adebayor as a Milan striker yet...I do believe Arsenal will jack the price up big time, they do NOT want to let him go. Me nither.

Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor has agreed a deal to move to AC Milan but the asking price from the Gunners could prevent any switch. (Gazzetta dello Sport, 1335 BST)

I hope they essentially block it by making the transfer fee too high.

As for Arsenal, I'm sure you've all seen these, but heres some official pictures of the new Arsenal kit.

I kind of like them but, ehhhhh I would have liked to see more white on the sleeves. The away kit is yellow with navy stripes similar to this one. I won'tmind picking up the white away shirt for cheap now.

 

[jada2001retro]

Yeah the pictures of the new kits have been out for a little while now. I will be getting all 3 of them, as I did this season. I love all 3 of them, veryclassy, especially the home.

 

[Sinner]

yeah more white on the sleeves would be nice, but I like the deeper red...

The kinda do and don't. From 05/06 and 06/07, they changed sponsor. From O2 on the front to Fly Emirates in 06/07. 05/06 they had burgandy and goldjerseys with O2 and yellow away with O2 on it as well. That was for their final season at Highbury. Starting in 06/07 season they started with red/white sleevewhich they kept for this past season as well just the canon on the back changed. 06/07's had the canon on the red part, and on the 07/08 version the canonwas on the white collar, only on the Champions League home shirts, EPL remained the same. As for their away from 06/07 changed from yellow to white this seasonfor 07/08. They changed the away and international kit to show respect to Herbert Chapman, Arsenals manager from 1925-1934. And they had their 3rdInternational kit that they wore when their away jersey clashed with away team. Hope this helps.

@ Adebayor for saying that all the transfer rumors were"rubbish" just 2 weeks ago and then turning around and negotiating with Milan...i'm pretty sure even Nicolas Anelka has told Emanuel not to makethe same mistake that he did...
-I'm pumped for Samir Nasri and possibly Ben Arfa

-I doubt Wenger will want to buy David Villa for such a cost even though 17 mill is pretty cheap for such an established striker...but then again if we partways with Adebayor then who knows
-We need Yaya Toure
-Lastly THANK GOD HLEB IS GONE

You can't..They stopped making that kit about 10 years ago.

 

[i am toddzo]

Some guy on Ebay had a bunch of those Nigeria jerseys on ebay a couple of years ago.

[kwelity87]

Does anyone know if Carlos Vela is coming back to Arsenal off of loan?

 

[ironmanfitness]

i wanted ronaldo to leave...dude needs a new challenge....and we can get benzema, huntelaar, moutinho in return.

 

[xblaze23]

I'd get Daniel Alves before Huntelaar, or Moutinho.

Yes. 100% certain about. Unfortunately for him, he is now officially on Arsenal

 

[xblaze23]

Sport is claiming that a Daniel Alves to Barcelona deal is imminent. 32 Million + 3.
