"Milan are well known to be in the market for a top class centre forward"
That rules Ade out then

Out of all the strikers mentioned I think Abe would be the last choice though thats not slagging off Abe :good:
KaiserKolo - June 5, 2008 10:59 AM (GMT)
It says according to reports in Italy...which are just as reliable as those from Spain...:lol:

sky have this story as well now, though they dont sensationalise it so much and just say he is milans top target. They talk about reports in italy claiming he has agreed to go there but milan would need to match arsenal's valuation.
Sounds like a load of old shit to be honest, and I am surprised at Milan dropping to real madrids level like this.

:blah: :blah: :blah: - 24 goals = second best striker this year in BPL so stfu
Milan won't get him anyway.
Seymour Butts - June 5, 2008 12:17 PM (GMT)
£27m will do me! Sell him and buy Silva for £17 and spend the remaining £10m on another top target - put it towards Veloso
Cripps - June 5, 2008 12:18 PM (GMT)
So sell our best striker and spend the money on 2 players who arent strikers?

If you are talking to me then I would suggest that Villa is most definately a striker!
Nayan's Photo Casebook - June 5, 2008 12:22 PM (GMT)
you have to think that bender, rvp, eduardo with walcott becoming a striker could be an interesting prospect. Especially if we can flog ade for 30, and land - say - villa and zapata witth the proceeds.
You have to think RVP will play at least half a dozen games between injuries, walcott and bender are coming along well and eduardo will be class no doubt

Exactly! Sell a striker who has again had 1 good season and replace him with one of the best strikers in europe and also land one of the best defenders in europe too boot! Sounds like good business to me!
Seymour Butts - June 5, 2008 12:27 PM (GMT)
Did I? Ah well if he is any good then we will have him aswell!! ha ha
McNamara That Ghost... - June 5, 2008 12:28 PM (GMT)
Keep Ade.
Although, I dunno why I am posting this when he isn't going anywhere anyway.
RVP Left Foot - June 5, 2008 12:40 PM (GMT)
This story is gatherring pace, hope it's not true.
McNamara That Ghost... - June 5, 2008 12:44 PM (GMT)
Gathering in pace where?

So nowhere different to before then.

Grebbo - June 5, 2008 02:02 PM (GMT)
We should bite their fooking arm off!!
That sort of money would buy some world class replacements
McNamara That Ghost... - June 5, 2008 02:20 PM (GMT)
Would it? They're world class for a reason.

They're aren't many world class strikers that could bag us 20-30 goals per season for 30mill
Although, if he has a shite season we might just be ruing the decesion to sell him, though I highly doubt he will have a poor season.
Jens' Face - June 5, 2008 02:45 PM (GMT)
now that Ade's a big ol' goalscorer, people are forgetting that he brings a lot of value besides goals to the team
last season, he didn't score much at all but was a great foil for RVP and TH.
Even if the goals drop off next year, he can still be a crucial player for us.

Depends on who he's partnered with really.

Just sell the big fckin oddity!
hleb_on_left - June 5, 2008 03:25 PM (GMT)
he would flop in italy, im sure we create more chances than AC milan, and as we all know he doesnt bury every one that comes his way,
i want to keep him because he brings a lot to the team, but if you asked me if i'd prefer david villa and a class defender as replacements id be tempted, bendtner is good in the air also so we have a replacement for ade in that sense, and villa is a more dangerous striker IMO
Elchegooner - June 5, 2008 03:39 PM (GMT)
I really like Ade , before anyone shoots me down..
But 32 million. I'd bite their hand off for that. He's had one fab season what happens if he flops next.
32 million will get you David Villa and Silva from Valencia for that , and that would be fantasitc.
If you added Nasri and Zapata to that.
I would be happy beyond anything I have been since Sol joined.
TheCrazy58 - June 5, 2008 03:54 PM (GMT)
We won't sell Ade however much Milan will pay. AW said his priority is to keep the current team together and I believe him on that.
Also, the credibility of this report is rather doubtful. What are these 'sources in Italy' anyway? can't they even quote a planted/fabricated story? Also, Ade's back on hols in Togo isn't he? If there's anything in this it's more likely to be a ruse to smoke out Drogbore....or alternately Ade's people trying to up the ante for a new contract.

whoever wants ade to be sold for 30 mill are mad! this guy has just started to show what he is capable of.... his improvement rate is blinding and he can only get better! david villa is going to be 28 and u have only 2 more years of his top form while ade gives us years and years of development! 30 mill is a joke... 50 million will do it for me but i'd like this summer to be more abt buying than selling... money is important, lets get some success for a change from the last few seasons!
elreactor - June 7, 2008 05:40 PM (GMT)
He“s repeatedly expressed his desire to stay loyal to us, so he may be really committed. In that case, it wouldn“t be a surprise to see him surpass himself next season, raising our hopes and his market value.
I“d trust him and keep him around.
