Your View: Who should replace Adebayor?
With Emmanuel now bound to call the City of Manchester Stadium his new home, there is undoubtedly a deep void left in Arsenal’s ranks.
His goal-to-game ratio proves Adebayor is a relatively formidable striker and his hard-working habit prior to his final season at the club, was very under-valued.
As he moves on, so should we and with Wenger once hinting on a French Radio station (RMC Radio) that he may pursue Chamakh should the lanky Togolese depart, a move for the Moroccan could well be on the cards.
But is he a like-for-like fix? Or should a more proven forward be signed?
And is buying necessary, or should we endure another season of having to rue a summer departure which was never compensated with a replacement?
Further more, is a there a internal solution we already possess in the squad?
Bendtner comes to mind, or should Wenger’s attacking formula be changed for a more technical and less physical man in Walcott, Eduardo or Arshavin to partner main choice Van Persie upfront?
You have your say today.
arsene go get huntelaar gunners for title and champions league
Bendtner FTW!
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar
huntelaar would be magic but just not having adebayor around is a massive strengthening exercise for arsenal
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar!!! No point in cashing in on Ade unless we reinvest in a potentially world class signing. Double dutch up front!!!
Bendtner, Eduardo, RVP, Walcott, Nasri, Vela, Wilshere, Sunu…….
List is endless of current talent at the club.
Personally, I fancy bendtner! No, I havent pulled the old crack pipe out from under the sofa but sincerley believe he will be quality.
he only koaned due to the amount of chances he missed; he had to get into those positions which Ade “bye u whore” rarely created. RVP will be happier as the main man. Lets face it, he scored some cracking goals and when fully commited- Ade was immense. I’d love to say I would like to wish him well but who am I kidding!!!! Do one to City and now the squad will be at peace.
if we are looking 4 like 4 like then my local farm has a very nice 8 year old donkey who is just as mobile as adebaycrap , he wouldnt be any worse than what weve had to put up with
huntelaar is no go…wenger would never spend 17m on a player like him… damn..arshavin cost us 15 after a whole month of haggaling..
i dunno abt this chamakh guy either… does not impress me much, but i guess wenger knows… henry did not blow ppl away with his talent early in his career either but wht a player he became later..so did pires, viera, cesc and so on
i think the priority here is tht DM tht we keep talkin abt…dunno ppl have not mentioned veloso yet…he is avaible for 11m… yet, i would still have cana becoz he cheaper, bigger, stronger, madder, angrier and doe not know a thing about hair products and recent fashion trends like veloso does…
Hahaha, nice one there pauly herszaft.
Never knew Ade was as shit as an 8-year-old donkey though.
Huntelaar would be a good signing. But I would prefer Demba Ba, from Hoffenheim. He’s big, fast and he has had a fantastic season. 23 goals from 57 starts is impressive. He was born in France but he plays for Senegal.
Remember Eduardo da crozilian is back,he will score as many if not more goals than greedy boy, plus arshavin for a full season,hopefully vela will get the run in side he deserves. We have more than enough fire power, it’s the midfield enforcer, viera/essien player we must have next season. get that and maybe another striker and i believe we can compete with anyone
Up front we already have Bendtner, Van Persie, Vela, Walcott and Eduardo. With a fit-again Rosicky, Cesc and Nasri to provide assists we are fine offensively. We should use the money to buy a tough-tackling midfielder like Essien or Flamini.
Our attack is sufficient and powerful. We have players in other positions that can play as striker/forward; Walcott, Arshavin, Eduardo, Van Persie, Bendtner and Vela…What we need is a fricken central holding midfielder. I’m super jealous Juventus got Melo before we made the sale of Adebayor. It would have been fantastic. We need a midfielder behind Fabregas. Who would you choose for that!? J
sergio aguero, chamakh, huntelaar, podolski, fabiano, klose…all would be excellent signings
spend the money in another area. Ade does not need replacing.
Strikers
Eduardo, Van Persie, Bendtner, Walcott, Arshavin, Vela.
Why do we need another?
Spend the money in defense or defensive midfield.
One defender signed already. Eduardo and Rosicky back and not having the option of playing a lazy striker. Puts us in much stronger position for next year already.
We do not need another striker in my opinion.
Justin
Defo need DMF more than a striker, Cana or Veloso would both be great signings. Although as I said before we really need to invest in a another striker like Huntelaar. 17mill is alot of cash, but Arsenal will eventally have to shell out for more quality attacking players. Arshavin is a prime example. We broke the club transfer record, and he’s already paid us back by helping ensure we’re in the champions league.
DAVID VIIIIIIIIA OR
ETO’O OR
Sneijder AND Huntelaer
I hope the manager will learn from his past mistakes. Fans will be harder if the team wins nothing next season. Invest the money on a proven striker.
Chamakh would be fine, but I’d also like to see any of: Yassine Chikhaoui (FC Zurich, midfield), Blaise Matuidi (St Etienne, midfield), Serder Tasci (VfB Stuttgart, defence), … certainly Lorik Cana (Olympique de Marseille, midfield).
The problem with Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is that while an excellent finisher, he’s nowhere near what we’ve come to expect of our strikers in terms of footballing skill. Also, he’s definitely going to have problems adapting to the EPL.
we keep on writin here, but wenger, no onez comin to emirates. poor arsenal fan. we are lucky we got arshavin. anyway i want henry again.
definitely we have to replace him not chamakh we need another goal scorer with eduardo huntelaar demb ba there is a russian forgot is name that who we could afford the villas aguero eto we cant affordlets be real villa aguero is the 50m eto big wages 25m we should have money for a dm + whats left over from lets say a huntelaar at 17-18m 7-8m left now I am still gutted that citeh should have pay 40- 35m for ade yes he not worth that but it citeh we are dealing with they would have paid
we wont get huntelar hes not interest in arsenal we should buy mirko vucinic
I wouldn’t be to gutted if we dont sign another striker. Bendy can do the job as the big guy up front if we need it. I hope Eduardo could score the volume of goals needed to challenge for the title, with RVP, Arsh, Bendy, Walcott, Nasri, Vela (I’m sure Iv’e missed some out) suppling the rest of the goals. As much as would like to see Denilson become the best DM in the league, I think we could do with a strong DM for the next 2 seasons whilst he gets the experience needed to play consistantly every game.
Spend it on:
Forwards: Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Sergio Aguero, David Villa, Lukas Podolski. Miroslav Klose.
or spend it on a attacking midfielder/def. midfielder:
Frank Ribery, Joao Moutinho, Rafael van der Vaart, Wesley Sneijder, David Silva, Gokhan Inler, Tim Cahill, Xabi Alonso,
All your options are not what we need. Aguero, Villa, iBRA, TOO EXPENSIVE..Podolsk, Klose, not Arsenal type and may be a bad gamble for price, Ribery, overrated and another Arshavin, Rosicky and RVP, not needed…VDV and Sneijder again, not needed, plus Sneijder and RVP aren’t going to get along…Silva, don’t need, injury prone..Cahill , not interested, Alonso, Rafa will never sell to us agian, ONLY Gokhan Inler makes sense.
i just wish that we get kompany and something around 20 mil. for ade. Kompany is some one who wenger has chased for a while and can work both in mids and def.
Huntelaar Of Cours
I think Hutelaar is the boy. If we can land him for £15-18m he would be an absolute steal.
You raise a fair point about Kompany – does anyone know why Wenger, after tracking him for so long, didn’t snap him up at the end of last year after he fell out with Hamburg over the Olympics. I could just never get my head round that, we had money at the end of last summer (we were £10 million in profit over the window) and the bloke could play both central defence and defensive midfield – which were where we had lost players. Did we make an offer and City offered him ridiculous money or was Wenger just obsessed in trusting his youth until January?
We want huntelaar, who is da king of d-BOX and have potential to break T. henry’s record
huntelar is to slow. anythone with pace henry perhaps and we gotta sign wesley sneider a perfect partner for cesc.
i vode for the big dane…………but if Mr. wenger is willing to spent some, then i would like to see JO from everton/m_city.
PLEASE WENGER, get GONZALO HIGUAIN from real madrid, now that he seems to be surplus to requirement. He is also a proven striker. PLS GET THIS TO WENGER ASAP!!!
definitely arsenal needs huntelaar partnering van persie..he’s the best possible striker we cn hv right nw..chamakh nt prolific enough..i prefer huntelaar
Huntelaar is he Best but my be Pavel Pogrebnqk from Zenit or Suares From Ajax.
No Pogrebnyak, NO Chamakh and no Surez with his 50% goal scoring ratio is needed!
We’ve Huntelaar waiting our call! Just call Real Madrid and give them 80% of Adebayor money ! Then get the positive answer and offer Huntelaar Adebayor wages ! The deal can be done in 10 minutes! Come on! We just need Arsen’s wish for that !
Huntelaar is real Claas player! He scored plenty of goals for Herenveen, for shit playing Ajax and Madrid. He is top class player in worth any money. I thought we lost him when Real took him, but we still have a chance!
Wenger said about the possibility of Chamakh if Adeba leaves.
I think at that time he was not really thinking about Huntelaar’s possibility with Real not having Benzema by that time (he said he was not thinking about Benzema Real link too) and then he was still in talks with Melo, which is much pricer then possible Cana or Matuidi.
HUN-TE-LAAR! And set Gallas free next year, the proper dutch guy to have number 10 on his shirt!
Patrick Helmes is the man 2 get 21 goals in 34 games for Leverkusen
Damn straight! get Gallas out and give “The Hunter” no.10…
Then get either veloso or cana to bolster midfield!
I’d like to get another centre back in to replace Senderos/Sylvestre if poss too!
We really need to shake up the team and get a few more fresh faces in if we want to not only challange, but actually win trophies!
Please Please Please!
we already got the strikers in my opinion. LORIK CANA PLEASE!!!! personally i think hes better than melo anyway for less than half the price. go gooners!!!
ISA ISA ISA ISA
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar Klaas-Jan Huntelaar Klaas-Jan Huntelaar Klaas-Jan Huntelaar Klaas-Jan Huntelaar Klaas-Jan Huntelaar
Easy fix. Play Walcott and Arshavin up top instead of in midfield.
momodu Niang is the solution..he is powerful can score with is both foot and also his head…and will want to team up with Nasri
I like the idea of bringing in Chamakh but not to “replace” Ade cause we already have those replacements in house, but as a work in progress and a good quality CDM to allow Cesc the freedom to roam – don’t know about all this talk about Cesc being slow and not tackling, but I think that with Arsh on the field he is more than capable of shooting from outside and Cesc can sit back and pick people out with his passes
Easy fix..
play RVP as lone striker with AA,Nasri, Theo or Eduardo in the Bergkamp role.
Spend the money and bring back Flamini.
EASY!
if we get 25m for adebayor then use all £25m to get Eto’o then all we have to do is pay his wages… but I am sure if we did sign him and every arsenal fan bought a shirt we can afford his wages…
This will be the biggest lost since the departure of flamini. Adebayor is better than Van Persie, has good chemistry with Eduador, If we lose him we will have a void that non of the strickers can pick up. I’m sorry for Adebayor that most funs don’t like him but he is the best at what he does. Van Persie can take a whole game to only have 1 shot on goal or 2 but Adebayor is better at positioning being able to move in place and have more attempts. Out of his may attempts he scores. He made less appearances for Arsenal 2008 -2009 season than all the other strickers: Bentner, Van Persie and he managed to get 16 goals less by one if you compare him to Van Persie. I think the time for Van Persie is up. He cannot even generate interest in the transfer market. This is not the Van Persie who could take on the defence and beat them. It will be a better lose for me!!!!
Adebayor is a twat. Move on!
NO MORE STRIKERS. PLAY VAN PERSIE AND EDUARDO(ARSENALS CLINICAL FINISHER) UP FRONT AND ALSO ARSHAVIN VELA ND WALCOTT CAN PLAY UP FRONT. BUY YAYA TOURE HE IS THE ONLY MAN FOR THE JOB. HE WILL WOR K GREAT WITH KOLO. HE IS BIG, STRONG, FAST, A GOOD TACKLER AND CAN SCORE FROM TIME 2 TIME
Hey guys, has anyone thought of converting Toure to a DM to partner with Song?
I am of the opinion that Toure and Song doing the Flamini-Gilberto role will be great.
Already there is Vaemelen in. Sell Sylvestre and Sendoross. Gallas and Vaemaleen on central defence
actually i dont really think that we need a replacement for ade, although i would support the club’s decision to purchase any1. we have van persie and eduardo and these 2 have already proven that they are clinical strikers. Moreover, i would really like to see arsenal play 4-4-1-1, with arshavin playing as the man behind van persie. That sort of free position is arshavin’s preferred position too. Moving back to the topic, we actually have 4 proven strikers, them being van persie, eduardo, bendtner and vela. So I dont really think we need a replacement yea so thats all. Thx for reading guys!
For anyone with any doubt:
Career Goal/Game: 174/248= 70.16%–105/290= 36.2%—-66/220 = 30%
Player:———–Klaas-Jan H.—– Emmanuel Ade.—-Mirko Vucinic
Wenger should use the cash to sign 2 players,
Hunterlaar – world class striker who would be a perfect partner to RvP. a real number ten ! (£15million)
Lorik Cana – powerhouse in holding midfield role. Tough Tackling no nonsense animal!!! (£10million)
Wenger should also get shut of silvestre and gallas as they have been made surplus to requirements at arsenal.
If these were to happen, arsenal = serious contenders!
IN ARSENE WE TRUST
YO Randy, you are well alive and kicking. Glad to be here!!
Kidz – YAY!!! I’m even more glad to see you here!
Take a look about a brazilian guy named Kleber. He plays in Cruzeiro. Although not a world-class star like Adebayor, that guy is being called the next Kaka and had a impressive season in 2008/2009. It would be a cheaper investiment.
But as a manager, I would go for Huntelaar, Podolski or Luis Fabiano or even Davi Villa. Can’t see better strikers on action that would not be so expensive to take on.
i recon Kerlon Moura Souza becuase he is skifull and has got quick feet and he is only 21 since arsene wenger likes youngstars that will be an exelllent purchase. P.S check him out on youtube he is the next ronaldinho
OR THEY SHOULD GET EDIN DZEKO, VEDAD IBISEVIC ,EL HAMDAOUI OR AlVERO NEGREDO OR PETER CRPUCH OR LLORENTE(ALL GOOD STRIKERS AND GOT POTENTIAL REPLACEMENTS FOR ADEBAYOR)
Sergio Aguero(athletico madrid)
Lorik cana(Marseille)
Peter crouch( Pompey)
Nilmar(internacional)
Danielle de rossi(roma)
All players Arseme Wenger could benefit froom buying
Go buy Migel Veloso and be done with it. He would fit perfectly in the arsenal system and would fill the void left by Flamini/Gilberto Silva.
To be honest, I didn’t see much chemistry with RVP and all our available strikers, Adebayor worked well with RV and Eduardo, Oh well..Not sure about Huntelaar, everyone wants him, but i honestly think we need to sort out the Holding MF position first, we can sign Cana and Banega (for cover and growth) and bring in Demba Ba and or Chamakh, sqaud will be deep plus Chamakh will have to come off the bench, i think he has potential, better ball handler and quicker than Ade, he WILL NOT replace Ade, but an added potency in the attack, we can play him on the wing first and let Walcott play behind RVP or Eduardo or Bendtner, RVP is good, but he doesn’t play well with some of our attackers. AA played well with Walcott and i think he will play excellent with Bendtner or Eduardo.
I also like the idea of playing Toure or Vermaelen as a holding midfielder in addition to the growth Song has shown. If we find a world class CDM we should buy, Melo would have been it, but moving on, I see Hangeland being bought and ToureVermaelen playing in the mf, we can buy Higuain, Negredo or Aguero (they will cost more than 25mil but with ToureVermaelen in midfield, we should add another 5 and get one of this young strikers) So i propose Hangeland and Above strikers or Buy Hangeland, Cana and Chamakh
