Just 8 more days for Premier league kick off and the clubs are trying to form the team for the season. Long awaited Ronaldo saga has come to an end. Yes. Ronaldo is staying at United. Same might be the case with Lampard and Robinho. Scolari has sent out a strong statement saying that money will not be an important part of his plans, rather his squad would be. In the past years foreign clubs have increased the evaluation of players tremendously trying to exploit the buying power of business magnets owning clubs. Chelsea, in Scolari, have got a good replacement for Mourinho.
Sunderland have captured 3 players from Tottenham in what has been a ‘ok’ transfer activity. Roy Keane is expected to bring the French striker Saha from United. Portsmouth seem to have a good front line in Defoe and Peter Crouch. Tottenham and Arsenal are still expecting to sign the Russian playmaker Arshavin. Elsewhere, it has been a quiet transfer activity.

Andrei Arshavin, who had earlier said that he was only interested in a move to Catalunya, seems to have changed his mind over the past few days. Barcelona were priced out of a move for the Zenit St Petersburg and Russia playmaker, having made an offer in the region of just 15 million euros. This has whipped up Arsenal and Chelsea’s interest in a transfer for the Russian.
If Emmanuel Adebayor’s proposed move to AC Milan materializes, Arsenal would be in the money for launching a transfer bid for Arshavin. The player himself has been flirting rather openly with a move to Arsenal, having declared that he is a fan of Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, and that he is “desperate” to join the North London club. Will Arsenal be able to beat Chelsea to Arshavin’s signature?
In some more latest transfer rumours from the Emirates, Arsenal are considering making a move for Liverpool target Gareth Barry from Aston Villa.

Image via WikipediaIn transfer news from Arsenal, Emmanuel Adebayor has almost become a want-away for the Gunners! The Londoners who were and are interested in cashing in on the Togolese hitman had initially quoted around 35 million pounds, a sum that prompted even the moneyed Rossoneri to back off from the deal.
However, with there being no takers for that high a sum, the North London club have dropped their price tag. According to Vincenzo Morabito, Arsenal have almost halved their asking price from the 45 million euros that they had quoted initially.
While AC Milan are also in for Ronaldinho, they would prefer Adebayor over the Brazilian. The Arsenal man is in good form, and has more years in him than the waning winger from Barcelona. Also, Milan need a striker who produces goals with greater consistency, someone in the Andriy Shevchenko mould. One of the reasons Milan could not threaten for titles in the 2007-08 season was the inconsitency of their forwards. Pippo Inzaghi could managed only 18 goals in all competitions last season, while Alberto Gilardino, now shipped out to Fiorentina, was dismal with a return of just 9 goals in 40 games!
It is possible that Adebayor’s arrival from Arsenal might mean that Milan might have to end their pursuit of Ronaldinho. And given that Manchester City’s offer for Ronnie of around 25.5 million pounds is higher than Milan’s, expect to see the smiling Brazilian at Eastlands!
