Adebayor Flattered But Unmoved By Barca Interest

After an impressive season for Arsenal in which he scored 30 goals, Togo striker Emmanuel Adebayor has inevitably aroused the interest of other clubs keen o bolster their attacking options - among them Barcelona and AC Milan.

The two most recent winners of the Champions League have both endured disappointing seasons and are expected to undertake significant restructuring of their squads this summer. Adebayor has been linked in the media with a possible move to either Camp Nou or the San Siro.

But while he is happy to see his name mentioned with illustrious clubs, Adebayor insists he is committed to Arsene Wenger’s team.

“It is a pleasure,” he told L’Equipe. “For a young 24-year-old Togolese, seeing in the newspapers that Barcelona or Milan are following you is very flattering.

“For the moment, I feel good at Arsenal. We will see what is going to happen in the future.”

He admitted that the expertience of falling just short of the big prizes with nthe Gunners this season had spurred him on to aim higher.

“It encourages me to go higher," he explained. “We had a dream season… and I don’t know what happened at the end!

“But I can tell you that we learnt a lot. Fabregas, Walcott or even myself, we will be one year older next year.

“It means more experience. I feel like we have understood one thing. People will have to count with us next season.”

who says he's not wanted? if he leaves, we will be in deep shyt as Van Persie cannot stay out of injuries while Bendtner is not as good as Ade

ADEBAYOR BLASTS EXIT RUMOURS

Emmanuel Adebayor has labelled reports he is set to leave Arsenal as "rubbish". The Togo international has enjoyed a fine campaign at the spearhead of the Gunners attack - even if his impressive personal haul of 30 goals so far was not able to secure any silverware for the Gunners.

However, it had been claimed the 24-year-old - signed from Monaco in January 2006 - was ready to follow Mathieu Flamini, who has agreed to join AC Milan on a free transfer, out of Emirates Stadium unless he was handed a new bumper pay deal. Adebayor, though, has vehemently denied the reports and pledged his allegiance to Arsene Wenger's men.

"I am very happy here. Reports which suggest I have threatened to quit are rubbish," he said in a statement this afternoon. "I love the club and the fans. "We have a great set of players here with a fantastic team spirit. "We have had a good season, but next year we want to go one better by winning a trophy."

Well, I guess this could be good new and bad new to some gunners... Depends on which gunners you ask... lol

I would want arsenal to keep him. He will serve well as a support striker. What's 80000 compared to what shevchenko is earning.

Arsenal needs to keep up with the wages to at least 2/3 that what manutd and chelsea are paying.

Adebayor demands an £80,000-a-week deal from Arsenal and threatens to quit if he doesn't get it

Arsene Wenger fears his young Arsenal team are in danger of breaking up after it emerged that Emmanuel Adebayor has demanded £80,000 a week to stay at the club.

The 24-year-old striker signed a new contract last summer worth a weekly £35,000, but he has told Wenger he wants to be paid in line with the top players in the Barclays Premier League.

The manager fears a salary and transfer explosion this summer, with Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool expected to spend upwards of £50m each on top-class signings.

Despite claiming he can compete with United and Chelsea on the field over the next few years, Wenger has privately expressed fears that Arsenal will soon be too far behind the top teams in financial terms.

Mathieu Flamini became the first to walk out when he agreed a move to AC Milan earlier in the week, turning down Arsenal's £55,000-a-week offer, and it is feared others may follow.

Alexander Hleb is determined to move to Inter Milan in the summer and Jens Lehmann has played his last game.

Adebayor, after suffering an initial knockback, is expected to make more noises following Sunday's final game of the season at Sunderland.

His agent Stephane Courbis said: 'Now is not the time to talk about his contract. We'll wait until next week.'

Hleb's agent Nikolai Shpilevski said last night: 'Alexander is preparing to make one of the most important moves of his life. He is leaving Arsenal even though they want to offer him a new long-term contract and better conditions. There's no way back now.'

Wenger claimed his current team could eclipse the 2004 'Invincibles', but Arsenal are falling behind the top clubs in Europe in terms of transfer fees and salaries.

Despite claims from former chief executive Keith Edelman that the manager has a pot of gold at his disposal, it is thought Wenger's hands are tied in the transfer market, largely due to the crippling cost of their two-yearold Emirates Stadium.

All that could be solved if the club were to accept the help of Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov, but chairman Peter Hill-Wood and director Danny Fiszman say no.

Arsenal, along with Chelsea, have been offered the chance to sign Thierry Henry, but Wenger has turned down the opportunity.

Henry was deemed a 'special case' when he signed a contract worth £130,000 a week at the Emirates in the aftermath of the defeat in the 2006 Champions League final, but Arsenal are no longer in a position to pay that kind of figure.

Chelsea, who bid £50m for Henry when Roman Abramovich arrived in English football, also considered taking him back from Barcelona but have decided against it.

He should go and suck a horse dick
