Ade the 'physical marvel'

[mcfc4title]

Not sorry to see him go tho' suspect Mourinio will get more out of him. Hope that's the case and that we get a good fee come Summer.

Still says good thing about City, good man.

Emmanuel Adebayor backs Manchester City to win Premier League title after completing loan to Real Madrid

By Telegraph staff and agencies 6:52AM GMT 28 Jan 2011

Speaking at his presentation with Real Madrid, who Adebayor has joined on loan from City until the end of the season, the former Togo captain feels that Roberto Mancini's men have a "big chance" to win the title.

Big-spending City, who last won the league back in 1968, are currently third in the standings, six points behind leaders Manchester United while they have also played a game more than their local rivals.

When asked if City can win the league, the 26 year-old said: "Of course, why not?

"I think Manchester City have a big chance to win the league this season, with all the players that they've bought, Mario Balotelli, Edin Dzeko, they've got a big squad.

"And at the minute they are playing good football, so they have a chance to win it. It's not going to be easy, don't get me wrong, but I think they will do everything to achieve that because it's a dream of the club."

Adebayor also spoke about his new club's chances of finishing the Spanish Primera Division season as champions.

Madrid are four points behind reigning champions Barcelona at the top of the table, although that is essentially a five-point gap as Jose Mourinho's men lost 5-0 at the Nou Camp and would need something special in the return meeting at the Bernabeu to gain the better head-to-head record.

Adebayor said: "Here in Spain, Madrid are only four points behind Barcelona and I think everyone will agree with me that Barcelona are playing fantastic football at the moment, but in football you just have to keep winning games, and then we have to beat them at home and wait for them to lose points to get ahead of them.

"It's not going to be easy but at the end of the day we have to try and give everything until the end of the season, and we'll see how it goes."

Madrid swooped for Adebayor after recently losing Gonzalo Higuain, their top scorer for the last two league campaigns, to a back injury that could keep the Argentina international sidelined for up to four months.

That left coach Mourinho with just Karim Benzema as his only recognised centre-forward, and the Frenchman has found himself under pressure following a disappointing time with the Spanish giants since his big-money move from Lyon in 2009.

The competition for playing time between Adebayor and Benzema - who has scored the winning goal in Madrid's last two matches against Real Mallorca and Sevilla - was a hot topic during Thursday's presentation, but Adebayor was full of praise for his fellow forward and insists he can play alongside the France international.

"I had a chance to know Karim in France when he played for Lyon and for me he's a fantastic player with a good attitude and I know him very well off the pitch as well. And for me I think he's doing quite well at the minute, he's lost a bit of confidence but he'll be back and as we can see he scored a great goal yesterday (against Sevilla)

"I'm not here to replace anybody. I'm just here to play my football and enjoy myself. I can play with Benzema, I can play with Higuain in the future if he comes back.

"I'm not here to kick him (Benzema) out, we are both here to win and we know that Real Madrid is a wonderful club that needs those victories.

"We are strikers and we are playing to do our best for the team and we want to win all the prizes that this club deserves."

I hope that ''born offside'' bangs in a few goals, enough to make Real buy him in summer

People calling him lazy obviously never seen him play live. It's strange that he's good enough to be at Madrid but at here he isn't fit enough to lace jo's boots. Which is strange because jo isn't fit to lace MY boots.

Abit of bad luck with injuries and we have jo back in the frame, all because Mancini can't handle some players.

he is at madrid as last choice, just becouse a 35 years horseface hasnt let free by hamburg.

he is at madrid just becouse madrid not have to pay any money , just a loan.

i hope he do well there , so well that they bought in the summer. I really hope so.

He scored a truck load of goals for the team and would of continued to do so had he have been picked. I'm sorry but I just do not agree with this move. I think it's fucking stupid if I'm being honest. I certainly won't be towing the party line on this one. Adebayor is one of europes most lethal strikers, hence why he will now be a starter for Real Madrid.


Dzeko looks like he is wearing lead boots at present and doesn't look as though he will fit into our system very easily. A system that had us winning games comfortably. Edin is now the player I support over Ade, but I think it's a mistake. Will Edin score 19 in his next 34 games? He needs to bring more than that to justify this decision and at a vital stage of not only our season but progression I bloody hope he does.

Ade should of been kept here as an option. Balotelli is fucked, we are too reliant on Tevez, and Dzeko is learning his trade. We are left with only Tevez with premier league experience. Its a stupid decision.

Super post mate.

It's a stupid decision compounded by the fact that Ade wasn't given a chance this season. That's an almost unforgiveable act on Mancini's part. He's got away with it because of Carlos and his 'greediness' in getting so many goals...

not any decision was as stupid as to keep a £ 150.000 per week guys on the bench as 4th choice striker.

ade has been given all the chances of this world, giving him another thousand chances wouldnt make of him a better player. tevez dzeko and balotelli are better players than him , this is ade's problem. he isnt willing to stay on the bench so he has to go.

To be honest Mancio, you can post that shit over and over again - won't make it anymore true than this:

Mourinho piss himself laughing if hear the name of Adebayor

Mancini made Ade 4th choice and systematically isolated him from the team not based on Ade's ability, but based on Mancini's inability to deal with him. It's a massive weakness in our manager and one that will get glossed over because he has a blank cheque book to go and sign whoever he wants.

'In training his flaws will be there for all to see' - former Real Madrid striker Fernando Morientes doubts Emmanuel Adebayor’s ability
But Spaniard is still pleased with signing of forward
By Andrew McLean


Former Real Madrid striker Fernando Morientes believes the loan deal to bring in Manchester City forward Emmanuel Adebayor will be a boost for the club in their bid to overcome Barcelona at La Liga's summit.

However, the ex-Spain international insists there are flaws in the striker's game which will be "there for all to see" in training.

"I played with him at Monaco. Emmanuel has always had a great desire to learn and work. He is very tall and good with the ball at his feet. However, in training his flaws will be there for all to see, as he is not as good in the air as he could be," Morientes told AS.

"I think the move is up there alongside the likes of [Angel] Di Maria and [Mesut] Oezil. Adebayor has many advantages to bring to Real Madrid."

With Gonzalo Higuain out injured for a lengthy spell, Adebayor will provide competition for Karim Benzema, who has just started to find goals for Madrid in the last two matches.

this is just one of your usual speculation based on nothing.

invent stories and repeat hoping that they get more credits.

Unfortunately there are only shit. the usual shit.

After a year I read your speculations, all proved false, I wonder if you really do feel a little ashamed to continue.
