ade on his way?

[Biggsy1]

Papers chat rubbish !!!

Your so cynical Rach honestly! ;)

 

[samharris]

With his work ethic I don't think there will be too many sorry to see him go if the story is true

you mean you ?? please dont speak for others on here that value Ade as a city player..

what did work ethic do for Vassel and Dikov ??
Ade is one of the best natural goalscorers we have ever had at City...or would you say vassel and Dikov were...??

 

[samharris]

Wouldn't be the biggest loss.

Really ??

Agree Sam, too often 'workrate' comes before 'talent' in the eyes of some Blues.

I am sorry mate, but you are wasting your time. The "I want our players to run around like headless chickens brigade" will never listen to reason!

That reminds me. Gelson Fernandes...sign him up!

Unplayable on his day and a proven PL goalscorer. Better than Drogba was at 26 imo.

If he hadn't had the 2 suspensions (I know the first one at least was his fault) and the ACON tradgedy, I'm sure we'd have seen even more of him already.

 

[samharris]

Selling a player of Ades ability and not at his footballing peak yet to a rival prem club is stupid..































just stupid.

 

[Matt Diablo]

I really do dislike some City "fans", they really do deserve little to no success in my opinion, from the wankers who hound down individual players on the terraces to the gobshites on here who display an unbelievable level of arrogance I think yoiu are a FUKIN JOKE and EMBARRASSMENT!!!

None of them were earning 160 grand a week though so do you not think it's right to question our high earning, apparently world class players?

You should get a grip. Yes we have come a long way since then and the whole football club is different to 10 years ago. You cant compare that squad with this current squad

Is Ade worth what we paid for him and what we pay in wages? At the moment no cos he is banned. He missed a month for African Nations, all be it in exceptional circumstances and has been banned for 7 games in total already FACT.
IMO he could do more, he goes missing during games and could offer a lot more for a guy of his size. The other side if the coin is he has scored good goals and key goals for us and had a hand in a few more. He is in a team that is still coming together under a manager who didnt sign him.
Arsene Wenger didnt want him and he is a pretty good judge. Would it be the end of the world if he went in the summer no, but I would keep him and hope he can get that early season form back.

How the hell do you know that wenger is a good judge ?? This is the bloke who cant see shit when its shat by a giant dog on his head ffs.

Tell me any players who dont go missing during games any team any country ?? and tell me who after missing due to bans african cup of nations and current ban is still our 2nd top scorer ??
Like you said give him time eh !!

 

[thegoat10]

Wenger has won more titles and cups then any current manager in the english game bar 1. I would say that makes him a better judge than you??? Maybe not.
He sells players at the right time when they are past their peak

Henry
Pires
Vieria
Ljungberg
Overmars
Petit
Toure(??? maybe)
to name a few.

I would love it if he was wrong and Ade banged 30 goals next year in a season when we win something. I cant see it myself but you never know.

He can speak for me, I think Ade has as much ability as any striker in the world but he's a shit player. You can have all the ability in the world but it you only make use of it in fleeting moments throughout a match you might as well have none. Call it work rate if you like, but we're not talking about tracking back and tackling but about how often he gets in the right place at the right time and is of some use as an attacking threat.

 

[BingoBango]

Without the goals of this supposedly 'shit' player, we would have 9 fewer points this season.

He's our best forward. By a long distance. I'd get used to players of his ilk if I were you. The days of Dickov and Creaney are long gone my friend and 2010 is looking quite promising.

Some fuckin right Idiot's on here, the same people who are sat typing in the matchday thread when we're playing at home.
