How much earns Adebayor at year ??

Because the diary of Real Madrid (Marca) its saying that they already agreed the fee for 20m.

But Stuttgart offers Huntelaar 2m at year and he earns 4m at Real. So they said that Huntelaar will wait 2 weeks until a club offers him more than 2mill. (I think this suggest that he´s also waiting for a better team)

And last summer when Huntelaar finish the season with 30goals or something, many teams offered more than 20mill for him but he said the he was a BIG FAN OF DENNIS BERGKAMP and like Dennis was joining Ajax with Van Basten he decided to stay but months later he had some problems with Van Basten and thats why he signed for Madrid 6 months ago. So dont you think he will love to play for Arsenal??

And also u could call “dreaming” a player who is at the same age and score more goals to sign him for 5mill less that the money that u will receive for Adebayor??

Unfortunately I think this will be a “dream” cuz Arsene like to buy cheap. When buy someone for 20mill when ure receiving 25 sounds to me like an amazing deal.

I wish these people like Abramovich and the Arabs that own Man City – who are throwing millions of pounds down the drain – would chuck some in my direction. I’m totally skint.

@ Gooner4life / mickeythe gooner

I think it is fair to say that we already do “once in a while spend money to be competitive”. But you also know that Arsene has great faith in the youth system and with the additional clout of the credit crunch, it is less likely than ever that he will buy a big name. Even a Huntlaar would probably command big wages and a club record fee and I am not sure Arsene will see the point, with the players we have in that position coming through.

As I said before, I would love us to buy someone like Huntlaar but like Mickeythegooner I spend my hard earned cash to travel from Scotland (and in the past from further afield) to get to games each season and it is hugely depresing to see us fighting for fourth but it’s clear that Arsene won’t go changing his policy now.

On the plus side, other top four teams are getting weaker this summer whilst we are keeping the players that care abut the club and tightening up our defence. Man City won’t gel yet so there is no reason why we won’t win a trophy.

Look, we all have a point; I hope that Arsene finds a balance and signs a player, not neccessarily a ‘big name’, who can play in a position that is crying out for reinforcement. And we all know where that is.

@ Breezy – If read what commented on properly i didnt say we should spend money like man city, what i did say is that with our current squad we may only win something in he future. The truth is if we want to win something this coming season we cant buy potential we have to buy realised qality right now. R u claiming that arsenal cant fork out 15 odd mill for a quality player… oh thats right, we did that with arshavin and look at the results. Im not looking for arsenal to buy fabiano or villa as i no these players r out of arsenals reach. And if you want to talk about business, dont you think our lack of recent achievement is making it difficult to attract quality players, who in turn could contribute to our immediate or future success and bring in extra revenue from sales, commercial revenue and revenue from winning competitions. Look at how this melo guy messed us about after we were clearly after this guy but i reckon he thought to himself if i go arsenal i am going to give my best years of football whilst playing alongside the likes of song and denilson. What quality player would seriously be attracted to playing alongside those guys, quality players want to be around quality (unless you can offer them crazy money)!!!!!!! Quality players will either come to a club because of the money or the reputation of the club, arsenal reputation as a football club not as a business but as a club is declining and we cant compete in the money department because of our lack of and our strict transfer policy. Once in a while we need to spend money to be competitive in the premier league and europe whilst also cultivating our youngsters.

Gooner4life – YOUR SPOT ON!
if like me you spend your hard cash to go see arsenal most weeks, you will know the REAL frustration – Arsenal are one of the biggest clubs in the world and if we carry on the way we are in the future we will be a average team competeing for carling cups and fa cups, the way we are heading 4th spot is a dream! its a disgrace. i make my self sooo skint to buy a ticket, i borrow money to get to matches if i have too! i wish the board could put in even half the effort we true supporters make and invest in some real qulaity players – a few years ago , we could of got david villa, yaya toure for quater the price they are now – but we had no money for players! its not A.W’s fault , if he had the funds he would use it! as for bendtner, i dont wana spend my hard cash to watch a waster like him play, he is worse than ade by far

@ Filipino Dan
You are spot on!

@ Gooner4life
Running a successful football club is WAY more than just buying big name players and spending loads of cash during transfer windows. Have you ever taken a business course in school or been a part of a successful business? These clubs that spend tons and tons of money on huge players will not last. Either the clubs will go under at some point, fall off for a significant period of time, or will be stuck with the same squad for years to come. Real and Man City can’t continue year in and year out to spend over 200 and 300 million on transfers each year. There is no way buying all those players will bring in more than the money they spent on the players and turn a profit.

Arsenal has one of the best long term business strategies combined with a great youth program and are in it for the long haul. Take a look at Man United. They spent big over the past several years but have chose to spend little this off season after banking with the sale of Ronaldo. Why? Because they need that money to sustain and pay back debt they accrued when buying big names in the past. Same thing with AC Milan and Kaka. If you want to be an Arsenal fan for the rest of your life, then I suggest you put your trust in AW and let him run the show. He knows what is best for the club on and off the pitch.

I get so sick of the fans who constantly put down the club and our manager as if they have no clue what they are doing. Have you ever run a successful football organization…I didn’t think so. You can’t win everything every year and expecting that is just absurd. Live in the real world, get a grip, and have some faith in your squad…if not faith, then at least your all out support. If you can’t do that, then go join the ranks of Man City. They will surely spend the cash you want Wenger to spend and go under in 10 years or less. I ARSENE and ARSENAL I trust! Up the Arsenal!!!
