I'm much more concerned about him. I think he could get Gattuso into card trouble quite quickly.

Second tier teams? maybe but he's pretty strong in the CL because it always takes longer to adjust to the PL, this is the reason he's had a big impactwith the National Team. You do have a point about Persie however I feel when he does return he wont be match fit and that's the reason most likely it will have to be Eduardo upfront with Adebayor (maybe introducing persie after half time?). Ade has improved a lot over the past year or so but Milan should be able to keep him under control as long as they mark him tight, the defense should also notice that he doesn't use his left foot as much so everything he brings it back on to his right foot.
Adebayor does have power as you mentioned when talking about the goal today, it was similiar to the goal he scored against them in the league which was another cracker. All in all tonight has been a game to forget for all Arsenal fans but credit due to Spurs as they kept on coming and good luck to them in the final.
