Much talk has been made of striker Emmanuel Adebayor's comments regarding being flattered by interest coming from Barcelona, most of all by the Spanish press trying to shit stir. Well unlike a certain Alex Hleb, Adebayor has smashed the rumours that he is more than 'flattered' by the interest and would consider a move to Barca. The Togonator has stopped the Spanish printing press in their tracks and thus probably stopped production for the next few weeks allowing them to have a longer siesta by stating:
"I don’t know why people want to put words in my mouth. As I said on Friday, I love Arsenal and I will be here next season. I am off to Togo tomorrow but will return to Arsenal for pre-season training in July."
So there you go Gooners, end of story. I'm sure the Spanish press will no doubt find something else to make up and go with. Oh and as if by magic here we go look out for Puyol in swap deal with Cesc Fabregas. Put money on that one showing up.
Other news today we have that mouthy dwarf Lassana Diarra having a dig a Arsene Wenger saying if his man-management skills were better he would still be at the club, This guy just can't keep his trap shut and obviously he's spouting off as Portsmouth have reached the F.A. Cup Final so he probably thinks there's some vindication leaving The Arsenal to join up with 'stepping stone' club Pompey. How the south coasters fans must of love him when he called his move a 'stepping stone' obviously Diarra needs to work on his PR.
So that brings us nicely to the transfer rumours table, here's who we've been linked with but it's anyone's guess who will be signed up. It could be someone not even on the radar - remember Eduardo last summer?
| Name | Club | Fee | Likely |
| Yaya Touré | Barcelona | £10m+ | Possible goer |
| David Villa | Valencia | £16m+ | Not for that money |
| Hatem Ben Arfa | Lyon | £11m | Possible goer |
| Gervinho | Le Mans | £8m | Nah |
| Vincent Kompany | Hamburg | £8m+ | He's injury prone, much like our squad |
| Charles N'zogbia | Newcastle United | £5m | Possible |
| Obafemi Martins | Newcastle United | £10m+ | Well agent would like it to be |
| Heurelho Gomes | PSV Eindhoven | £8m+ | Nah |
| Raúl Albiol | Valencia | £8m+ | Well never heard of him, so a goer |
| Gareth Barry | Aston Villa | £14m+ | Nah |
| Niko Kranjcar | Portsmouth | £9m+ | Bye Hleb, hello Niko? |
| Amauri | Palermo | £8m+ | Nah |
| Mario Gomez | Stuttgart | £10m | Not bloody likely |
| Diego | Werder Bremen | £15m+ | Not bloody likely |
| Mauro Zárate | Al Saad Sports Club of Qatar | £20m | Not sure where that price tag came from |
Allgoonerdup has a new comments section courtesy of WordPress. So now you can share your views on the days topics. If you have an opinion, then jump on there and have your shout, let your fellow Gooners mates know about it too and lets share in all things Arsenal - it's all new, so enjoy. The idea of the comments section is to gage what Gooners are thinking in general. I don't want people to just jump on and be in agreement with everything I say, I want people to have their own thoughts and opinions - so lets hear it: So good people, what do you think?
Jump on board good people and getting posting... see you in the comments section.

Jens Lehmann: Apparently Jens Lehmann isn't set to retire but is out to hound and take his mental self back to the Bundesliga with Stuttgart being a likely destination. Whatever the big fella decides to do, I wish him luck, oh and all those German strikers....
