Morning all,

it's another Adebayboring day with all kinds of stuff going on about the big, lanky prick. Let me try and summarise for you.

The Sunday Mirror says we haven't received any bids at all and Adebayor could end up staying and finding himself about as popular as man who goes around saying 'Oooh, you're looking a bit chunky' at a convention for recovering anorexics.

However, in Spain Sport (spanish) suggests that Barcelona are set to offer us Eto'o + €10m. No doubt Eto'o was a quality player but there are serious doubts over the state of his knees and he's as mad as rabid badger after fill of magic mushrooms. On the other hand it wouldn't be unlike Arsene Wenger to take on a player others have written off. Witness Overmars and Kanu. I get the feeling this is just Sunday newspaper fiction from Sport though. They're saying how Adebayor's goals last season have gotten Europe's biggest clubs interested in the player, including AC Milan. No, not including. Limited to, I think is the right expression.

Many reports of how we've slashed Adebayor's price in half which has given encouragement to both Milan and Barcelona. El Mundo reports that the Ronaldinho transfer could be decisive here though. He's got offers from Manchester City and AC Milan. If he goes to Milan then there's no way Adebayor is going there but it might free up enough cash for Barcelona to make a bid.

The Ronaldinho situation is a tough one though - he's mad keen on going to the Olympics with Brazil, something Barcelona don't want him to do and which may prove an obstacle for any club wanting to sign him. Citeh are offering him huge money but I suspect they'll want him in from the start of the season and not have him wasting his time on the Olympics. So it's all up in the air.

Let's not lose sight of the fact that it was Vicenzo Morabito, a scum sucking cuntflange of an agent, who said we've slashed the Adebayor price. Arsenal, as ever, are remaining tight lipped and that's the way it should be.

Speaking of the Olympics the News of the World gets the Doomometer going again by suggesting we're facing a crisis as Alex Song has chosen to be part of the Cameroon squad. What kind of crisis are we facing next? Gael Clichy declares he's having a cheese sandwich?

Also in the News of the World, a story about Hleb being a dirty rat - worth mentioning only for the fabulous photoshopping they did of him. 

And beyond that there's not much else to tell you this Sunday. On the plus side though there's only 6 days until our first pre-season friendly which is fucking awesome. The new season gets closer and closer and frankly I can't wait.

Ok, enjoy your Sunday, the sun is shining here for once so I'm going to stay inside and work all day. Hurrah!

Happy Friday to you all. I have just awoken from the weirdest of dreams in which I won the Champions League for Arsenal by heading home a slice of onion from a corner. The ref looked, saw the onion in the back of the net and blew up as it was a golden goal. Weird.

Quite a bit to get through so we'll just get going. AC Milan say it's Adebayor or nothing while the speculation in Spain increases about a move to Barcelona. I know we've heard from Adebayor this summer saying he wants to stay at Arsenal but I have to say I'm a bit concerned at just how intense this speculation is. It's constant, it's not being quashed, and it goes a bit beyond the old 'Oh, we half fancy this player'.

Sport actually claims to have called up Adebayor in Togo and quotes the player as saying:

I don't want to say anything now in reference to FC Barcelona. Maybe in a little while it might be necessary but not now. It's better to wait. Thank you*

Of course he could have said "I have nothing to say about Barcelona" etc etc and it might well have been twisted to suit the story but that's what he's quoted as saying. To me it feels like there's something going on here and while I'm certainly not going to start pointing fingers yet it would be very disappointing if Adebayor were to agitate for a move now.

However, it does seem the interest from both Milan and Barcelona is very real and I don't think it can get to the stage it's at unless there's been some encouragement from the player's camp. We'll see what happens but it's all a bit scummy and murky in my opinion.

If he goes we'd need a striker though, that's for sure. Samuel Eto'o anyone? I'm not sure I believe this one but I'm also pretty sure that this story has been brought in good faith unlike some of the absolute bollocks you read elsewhere.

The Sun says we're after Obafemi Martins. Can't see it. I think his agent just uses us every single time he wants to get his player's name in the papers regarding a move away from Newcastle. Lazy cunt.

Nasri medical, holiday, sign, blah blah blah.

Some clubs want to sign Gael Clichy apparently. Well, some clubs can go suck a donkey's smeggy cock, cunts. Fuck. Off.

Eurowatch - Jens played last night for Germany as they knocked out Portugal. Sadly Ronaldo didn't cry which is a bit of a shame in fairness. It does seem that we're likely to see him do his crying for Real Madrid next season. Whatever I might think about United I can only hope that Ronaldo's signing ushers in a new era of shite for Madrid - the way they and Barcelona act over transfers really is quite disgraceful and if they pay £60m for him and he breaks his leg in the first game it'd be just what they deserve.

Tonight sees Croatia play Turkey and you can follow in the OleOle match centre - not forgetting the Eurocast as well which should be published later this morning.

The AST publish a letter they've written to Stan Kroenke after meetings with him and his team in Denver. Interesting stuff and it does look like a place on the board will be forthcoming. Hopefully I'll have a chat to them in the week to get more detail about their meeting and we can get it up on the Arsecast.

Speaking of which, after a week's holiday the Arsecast is back. In today's all-action episode there's a theme of negativity running all the way through, the Man in the Bar, a tale of the unexpected, Eboue and more.
