Arsenal transfer news: Guiza in, Adebayor out


The latest transfer news fresh from the rumour vine

Emmanuel Adebayor

Arsene Wenger recently rocked the footballing world by sending a fax to Milan, warning them to stop sniffing around Emmanuel Adebayor. The threat in itself wasn’t the shock, but rather his method of communication - Internazionale’s fax machine had probably been lying dormant since 1989 when the Frenchman’s choice words came through. If he runs out of fax paper, which surely can’t be bought in the 21st century, he’ll probably end up sending a telegram or a small messenger boy in a toga to Barcelona…

Arsene Wenger had just finished mopping his brow at the news Milan would accept Arsenal’s decision not to sell Adebayor when Barcelona rode in to declare the striker their number one target.

The hottest WAGs of Euro 2008


With no British presence, you’ll need something to look at

Sylvie van der Vaart

It was the 2006 World Cup that really embedded the concept of Waggery deep into the conscience of this tiny island we all share, yet this summer, Posh, Cheryl et al will not be spending their time in the finest hard plastic seats Switzerland and Austria have to offer. Thanks, Mr McClaren.

This does not mean, however, that the stands will be devoid of eye candy - far from it. Sylvie (above), wife of Holland’s Rafael van der Vaart, will be just one of many devastatingly beautiful WAGs who will have pitch side snappers aiming their long lenses in the opposite direction to Dirk Kuyt.
