Barcelona Signing Adebayor For £22mil-£25mil? Nasri Signing Officially? Clichy Signs Long Term Deal

By Bilal Zaidi

This is some crazy stuff. Turkey somehow qualified tonight with a huge victory over Croatia after the tie went into extra time. Turkey conceded at one end and scored at the other and won it after extra time from the resulting penalties. What a fantastic story and a perfect illustration of what hard work and determination can get you. They never gave up, for three games in a row where they looked to be heading out. Who knows what may be in store for them in the semi-finals.

Congratulations to Turkey and local boy Colin Kazim Richards who went to school just down the road from me. Crazy stuff.

However, the news that has been reported of our thirty goal striker Adebayor to sign for Barcelona for “£22mil - £25mil” is quite amazing. He had a great season for us and I would love for Ade to be staying but it is very difficult to tell who is misleading us all. I know from other peoples comments that many may want to just get rid of him but I would like to see what is actually going on before we start to put down our striker who did very well for us last season. Is this a trick from Barcelona to unsettle the player and the club in order to gain eventually when they buy him or is it simply the truth? It has been going on for a bit of time now and I haven’t written much on it because I don’t like writing about transfer rumours that are thrown around loosely. However, a good few papers have been picking up on the story this morning as the conclusion to this predicament seems to be edging to a final sprint in the coming weeks.

Nasri is expected to sign officially very soon since his French club have already confirmed the deal. Also, his compatriot Clichy closed off any sort of speculation regarding his potential future at another club by signing a four year deal to commit his future to Arsenal. Clichy was outstanding this year, being voted the Premiership’s best left back...unfortunately he wasn’t included in Frances European squad but both Nasri and Clichy on the French and Arsenal left wing could now become a great possibility in the near future.

Any news relating to the futures of the players mentioned will be updated as soon as we have heard of any news. Don’t miss tonight’s game between Holland and Russia and Amir Khan’s fight as well from our live video streams page.

Thierry Henry WANTS TO BE "HOME" - 25 Minute Full Interview With The Legend

By Bilal Zaidi

I don't really want to comment on this. Please just watch the full interview and tell me Henry doesn't want to be at Arsenal. He says what I say to people; “I don’t regret things”...but that is just out of default...he might not regret it but I bet he wishes he was still here, there is a difference. He talks of England being his "home" since he has lived in England longer than he even lived in France.

It just reminds me of what I have always loved about him...as the reporter asked about coming back to England...he blushed, covered his face and said "there is only one team for me".

I wrote on here the other day about my opinions on Henry coming back but I can't help but reminisce like an emotional lover over an ex-girlfriend. Yes that sounds rather extreme but since I have grown up, Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry have been my Arsenal legends just like many that may be reading this...to see Thierry rotting away on the left wing at Barcelona is painful.

I doubt if any other player in my lifetime will ever make me feel like that after they leave the club. I was a great fan of Vieira, Pires and Ljungberg too...but for some reason it really isn't the same as when I see Henry playing for another team. Sorry to be taking a trip down memory lane but...Thierry Henry is and will always be the Don of Arsenal for me.
