Milan willing to offer cash plus Flamini for Adebayor

Rumours in the press today indicate that Italian giants AC Milan are willing to offer about £20 million for Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor AND former midfielder Mathieu Flamini.

Flamini controversially moved from North London to Milan after having had a pay rise rejected, but has failed to establish himself in the Milan first team.

Now Milan are apparently willing to offer cash plus Flamini back to Arsenal in exchange for Togolese international Adebayor, who has enjoyed an indifferent season at the club.

We're not sure how real this rumour is, but manager Arsène Wenger has been known to not favour recruiting players who have previously left the club, so we might not see Flamini back at the club after all.

However, that still doesn't solve the future of Adebayor, who has previously committed himself to the club but yet the transfer rumours persist.

Come on fox,a traitor will always remain a traitor because their reasoning is selfish.I should think Flamini has lost some quality after failing to command first team place at milan.Besides you will not expect 100% commitment from a player coming to the club out of desperation.Its like a lover deserts you then after failing in an attempt to find what they dreamt will work out they decide to return to you.We cannot be a comforting shoulder.

I dont know how many times you want me repeat myself. We should retain ADE. He is one of the best strikers in the world so far......

I think this is a really good deal
Flamini should never of been able to leave Arsenal

Todays papers suggesting Arsenal will sell Cesc
Yet again other clubs keep their best players and Arsenal EVERY season sell theirs
What a fantastic board we have at Arsenal.
Need to get rid of ALL of them and get a decent Board so we can keep our players and give Arsene Wenger money to spend

this is just a rumor that every arsenal fan should hope is not true. flamini deserted us just when he thought he was getting better. if he comes back he'll just leave again when he thinks he is getting his act together. wenger should just let ade go and get a lethal striker, i have nothing against ade but we could use the money we get from his sale to get someone more lethal infront of goal.

Let Ade go Wenger. F.F.S for once, buy some good players PLZZ, I mean no need of strikers right now atleast in this window.Cause I know Arshawin,Persie,Eduardo(back),Bendtner(He too) & vela are looking more promising than him this year.

I know that financially Arsenal isnt Top Club but if RIBERY rumours are true have him instead of FLAMINI to strengthen the most prestigious Spot I.E Midfield.

Also look for 1 good keeper too (RUMOURS are coming of either mandanda or FREY)

I think it would be a strange decision to sell a current player to buy back an ex-player. Flamini has the talent but as Mr Wenger says: We always have adequate cover in the place where Flamini left. So, it is a NO NO for this deal

we had better accept the deal if it is true, flamini was good holding player in our team. we are missing his role alot. let bygone be bygone. ade is a bit selfish and not prolific enough i suggest we show him the door without delay before the deal has vanished.

As one a true fan of arsenal,I don't like them they have similar behavior instead of give priority to the club's effectivness always they want money so such players aren't necessary for us and it is impossible.

Flamini left after failing to get the pay raise he wanted from Arsenal. If he comes back will he accept the offer Arsenal had given him? Secondly does he have Arsenal at heart? won't he start a negative attitude in the team? So fellow fans forget about Flamini, we can do without him. As for Adebayor we can get the cash and use the money to get a better stricker. Adebayor as many fans have said over and over falls short of a good stricker though he can play well behind strickers. Please manager Wenger if this is true about Milan, make a wise decisean, but please get us a better stricker though for some reasons you may retain Adebayor.

God, I hope this is true!!!!
Flamini is everything we are missing and 20M for Ade would get us a good replacement!

Its not Wengers style. I mean he won't even admit that Sivestre is arthritic so I can't seem him taking one for the team and taking Flamini back.
I will not be best pleased to see Ade on next season's team sheet unless its a misprint.

We need a player exactly like him, but he's a traitor. I'm confident that Ade's leaving.

Flamini wants money, but we don't have any. This is just that, a rumour.

This sounds great to me as an Arsenal fan.. Pls Wenger letb Adebayor GOOOOOO He is not the standard of striker we want in arsenal football.. Pls i think this is a great opportunity for the Gunners because Adebayor as a striker can not beat one defender, no speed, no skills.. Only goog on air, i mean head accuracy.. I think this is a great opportunity let him go.. We all know the great impact Flamini takes in Arsenal during his stay at the emirates.. You can even get that £20 million for a better striker, so i see no reason why bthis is not good for the gunners..
I CONSIDER THIS DEAL GOOD, PLS WENGER DO SOMETHING OVER IT..
