Adebayor predicts Arsenal glory

Arsenal

comment on the article

Emmanuel Adebayor is sure Arsenal will be a major force in all competitions next season - and has predicted they can achieve a 100% winning home record.

The Togo international striker has scored 10 goals for the Gunners this term, including two against Bolton in the FA Cup win on Wednesday.

And he said: "We have a young squad getting better and better, and we will be ready for everything next year.

"I think we will get maximum points from every home game next season."

Do you agree with Adebayor's comments? Can they realistically win trophies next season? In what areas do they need to improve on?

i totally agree with oohahaha guys comment, even though arsenal fans would like to say the contrary, they are not the best team in the world, and sorry but i think both man utd and barca play better football, also the fact that both of them are way more likely to win something than arsenal this year, and fair enough you beat lpool twice, great acheivement, but how can you ever be the best team in the world when you never won the european cup, also, like hahaha said, results against big teams dont matter, you got well and truly beaten by chelsea at highbury last year, and they beat you at the bridge, and you also deserved to lose at stamford bridge this season, infact, the only result you got against the big 3 last season was scraping 2-1 at home against lpool, and what is the point of getting results against big teams if you win nothing, do you think man u care that much about being beaten twice by you when they are 17 points clear of you, NO!,
and adebayor is arrogant predicting arsenal with their second string team will beat a full strength chelsea side, how about you start blowing your trumpets louder than an orchestra when youve won something, yes you play good football, but leave it alone will you

I be happy if it becomes true, that Arsenal will dominate the premiership with this team in the years to come. Of course, it is going to be difficult. But aren't you guys a bit wrong writing off what Adebayor is saying? Yes he's being arrogant, but that's his confidence in the team and this boost the team's morale even more and it goes to show how strong mentally they are for someone like him to say something like that.

Please recall what happened with Arsenal, when Arsene Wenger said we can go the season unbeaten...the critics and fans all blasted him...and what happens? They went a season unbeaten.

Arsenal has shown what they have got in the past and proved their point. So shouldn't you give the guy a little respect? There is always a probability for everything.

About Manchester United and Barcelona playing better football...well they're more consistent and in that way they can be called better football. But Arsenal's style is what everyone wants to see. Are you telling me, you won't be happy if Man U can play like that? Even Barcelona is underperforming this season if you check their recent form and actually watch their games, they're not that strong compared to last season.

yeah, fair enough, i give credit where its due, its unblievable to go the season unbeaten in the league, however, one of your most vital players in that season, the brilliant pires, who is one of the players i idolize, is gone, as is vieira, campbell, and other experienced players, you lack the goal threat from midfield you had, fabregas has only scored twice, in a champions league qualifier, henry is obviously your main threat, and van persie too, but if not them who else do you have(and i admit lpool dont have alot of goal threats themselves), the 2 best teams in the league, ie, chelsea and man utd, have several attacking threats, united have rooney, ronaldo, giggs, scholes, saha, larsson, hell, even vidic, chelsea have lampard, drogba, and robben and j. cole when their fit, i dont think arsenal will win the league without a real freescoring midfielder, and i dont think lpool will win the league until they have a real striker

as a manyoo fan, i should be the first to raze gooner egos to the ground. however, i have great respect for arse the team and the arse the manager. though he could be immature with his comments, wenger is a fantastic manager, who comes up with a very good team. ade's statements are not without basis: they're a young team, with the right set of veterans to guide the newbies, a great manager and a great organization (though not as great as manyoo!) and these are the ingredients of a fantastic team. so gooners, here's a manyoo challenge: bring it on!

Adebayor,being the great player of the time must have reason to say so coz of late Arsenal is currently making even the greatest coaches think twice before placing a bet

I think hes right i think its FINALLY coming together we still miss something im not quite sure what it is. Maybe a centre back im not convinced about senderos yet but i think we're getting there!I think think we've shown the world we can win without Henry argueably sometimes i think we play better because we're forced to play differently!

I think Henry is becoming a bit of a lazy player he used to help out a lot in midfield, when he was out for a few weeks we still won matches, now it seems if hes fit he has to play even if hes not playing well, I would like to know other fans opinions about Henry.

@lfcfan101
I think all the points you made were spot on,you just can`t expect new signings to replace players like them and i definately do wonder where our midfield goals will come from.Hopefully that Arsenal resolve,which kicks in about every 3rd season will be there next year,coupled with extra experience, as we seem to have that 1 in 3 where we`re pretty much unplayable then fade dismally for a couple.Here`s in hope anyway!
Liverpool? Couple of genuine top strikers and 2 good fullbacks and who knows.I seem to think at the start of every season "Liverpool will be back this year"but it never happens.It must frustrate the hell out of you.ok
