Tragedies at North London

Why is that whenever something good is to happen in a few days ,time seems to pass by at snail pace ?? When something that seemed inevitable crawls back and creates doubt.Its a known fact that nothing has gone right for the red side of north London over the past couple of years.Be it the lack of silverware,the never ending injury saga of the so called "promising talents" ,the sometimes errant tactics of Mr Wenger ...everything....bloody everthing ... seems to be pointing in the wrong direction.The upcoming season is supposed to be the end of empty promises with Arsene promising a better display.There has only been a single signing this summer .Agreed the transfer market is overinflated with money being showered around worthlessly on overhyped individuals who suddenly have a bloated sense of pride and have even gone to the extent of saying they are worTH it!!.But we all know arsenal need a couple of good signing to stay afloat in the so called top 4 (which we barely hung to this time ) with Man City close on heels.Hope Wenger brings in a few new ones ...coz hope is only what I can do.

Coming to where I started off ,the deal of Adebayor to Man City for 25 million seemed god sent and seemed inevitable.Sometimes greater value addition takes place when a player leaves a club and there is no greater exponent of this theory than our very own "Greedabayor" .I say this with fear that one day the guy will be back at emirates and may put one past the gunner as well ...but after being a premier league addict for the past 5 years ...I know that he may score a few goals which may give you reasons to believe that the man has flashes of brilliance,he may have a few tap in goals which critics might attribute it to so called "striker instincts" but at the end of the day you will know he is just a dumb,lucky guy who wont pay dividends in the long run. His statement that he would play like Henry if paid like Henry swept away the last set of sympathetic gooners. Newaz I was overjoyed when I received a tweet saying Ade had got work permit and it was a matter of time before the switch was made.For once the events seemed to fall in the anticipated chronological order with no disruptions & Man City's urge to sign him before they leave for a 10 day South Africa trip seemed to make the entire situation rosy.But the universal law which says that things are bound to go wrong when everything seems perfectly perfect gave an example of its practical application.Another tweet : Ade transfer delayed!!!! apparently he came under heavy criticism from his homeland over the motives of his move .Remember!! Arsenal have huge Fan base in Africa & apparently he is having second thoughts.Now I its gonna be a painful wait for another 10 days without knowing whether Ade would be gone for good .This is likely to hinder our transfer market ambitions as a lotsa good players were being looked at for replacements for the Togo Striker.(I use the term "Striker" reluctantly as the two roles for Ade that came to my mind were a) Striker from the more benign part of my mind while the other suggested b) "Lazy ,ludicrous, over hyped offside loving egomaniac" ......finally decided to go for the milder one for a bit of respect for the 30 odd goals out of the possible 100 I may have cheared.).

Newaz enough for now I bid adeu with simple hopes one that Ade leaves !!(pretty oBvious ehh !!) second ...go out there and get some FOOTBALLERS Mr Wenger , not kids looking for internships ..
