Because, um, not so much: http://cache.gettyimages.com/xc/77979972.jpg?v=1&c=NewsMaker&k=2&d=17A4AD9FDB9CF1936ED6F4FE2F3F40DC6E8FDB94840A5941 Hey, whatever happened to how Milan were saying that Ronaldo wasn’t fat anymore and he looked like a supermodel?

I'm telling you now that the mental image my brain attributes to that phrase is quite probably NOT the one Signor Galli had in mind *grin* (Gila: But Pato! I'm TOO HOT! Duckie: Shut up whining and sweat some more. There's barely enough to cover my feet in there!) Ahem. I can has bigger version of that picture?

Now the best they can get is probably getting him off the pay roll by loaning him out (actually only partially getting him off it - cos I can't think of anyone paying that much a week for a fat striker who can't come to the match without a hangover). It's bad to see though, cos Adriano could've been a great. He probably still can, but I think definitely not at Inter. Maybe he should go have a season in Brazil on loan. It's quite ironic, because two years ago, he was the hottest property in world football. Very sad to see. He and Cassano should get together and console each other.

Someone is a little unclear on the concept of negotiation.

Even if they were in need of another striker, I can't see Arsene Wenger wanting to import that kind of drama.

Now, Arsenal have Van Persie coming back from injury after the international break and Adebayor's Togo failed to qualify for the African Nations' Cup. I don't think it would help Adriano's drinking/depression issues to go from being the 5th choice striker at Inter to being the 5th choice striker in North London (he'd maybe even be 6th behind Walcott). Plus there is no chance that the Gunners will let Gilberto go on account of the African Nations' Cup. Toure and Eboue will be gone and Gilberto will be a key man to fill in due to his versatility of playing a couple midfield positions and center back in a pinch.
