I don't think that sounds good at all from the way the Arsenal fan heard it.

If he doesn't really want to move to Manchester and would rather be in Milan then I would guess he'll stay at Arsenal, take the boos and move to Milan maybe on deadline day or in January.

It's a big life choice for Ade at 25yrs as he'll be making the main move of his career.

I hope he can come around to City's plans but if he's not keen on moving to Manchester I'd say this might be a dead deal.

Gutted if so.

If he doesn't want to move to Manchester, why has he agreed personal terms?

FFS he said there WASNT any other club involved.

I'm not inclined to believe a word a football agent says.

This is sounding really bad now. I said in this thread that I thought Chelsea might steal him off us.

Worst fears confirmed.

Oh right, so you're gonna believe a bullshitter from the Daily Mail or Adebayor's agent?

I know who I'd believe.
 
It wasn't his agent - this guy was working on behalf of Arsenal. So he has no reason to lie.

get your head from up your backside mr doom and gloom...THERES NO OTHER CLUB INVOLVED FFS.


Haha, dude I've been positive all week about this. I really wanted Ade to be the good guy.

I'm happy for him to take time as it would be a shock to his system to be sold like this but if he's delaying and no-one from City is there to convince him (Cooke etc) then I can only see Chelsea coming up and giving us a slap after what we're doing with JT.

Exactly Pam! I think he is just making the Arsenal sweat before he signs. Like bizzbo said he wants to make it look like he is deciding his future.

City fuming over Adebayor twist after Arsenal striker flirts with Chelsea move

Emmanuel Adebayor

Chelsea bound? Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor has ruffled Man City feathers by stalling on a trip to Eastlands

Manchester City are furious with Emmanuel Adebayor after the Arsenal striker's advisers attempted to engineer a move to Chelsea on Friday night.

Sportsmail revealed earlier this week that Adebayor was offered to neighbours Manchester United when talks with City over personal terms of £170,000 a week looked to be in danger of collapse.

There were indications yesterday that he was finally ready to agree a move to City and head up to Manchester for a medical. But the club were amazed to discover that the Togo forward has been touted to Chelsea as he continues to stall on a £25million move to Eastlands.

Adebayor even met Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger yesterday over the possibility of staying at the Emirates for another season, but the Gunners are adamant they do not want him back and are keen to honour the deal agreed with City.

In spite of the latest twist, City are resisting the temptation to pull the plug and will hold last-ditch talks this weekend aimed at resurrecting the transfer.

HOW MANY MORE FOOKIN TIMES..THERE ISNT ANOTHER CLUB INVOLVED AND THAT CAME FROM HIS AGENT HALF HOUR AGO ON TALKSPORT.

YES. STOP PLAYING THE MEDIA'S GAME. THEY ARE SHIT STIRRING AND SOME PEOPLE FALL FOR IT EVERY TIME.
 
It seems perfectly simple.

He's agreed terms with City but has asked for a couple of days to "think it over". He's using that time to see if any Champions League teams will come close to City's offer. They won't. He'll sign Monday (probably).

Didn't listen to Talkshite anyway, just going of what people on here were saying.

Either way, the Daily Mail report is drivel.

project is right, it isn't his agent, but someone who is involved in the deal.

EXACTLY. This is key.

He's working FOR ARSENAL so doesn't want to piss off City. If we get word off Ade's agents looking for a move elsewhere we'll pull the plug on £25M and Chelsea won't pay that up front like City will. They may even only go to £20M but if Ade would rather go there and Arsenal really want to sell then that's the deal they'll have to take.

Yeah I worded that badly, I've been saying in this thread not to believe the rags aswell but there comes a point where you have to put the events in front of you together.

It's not looking good to me.

Well that contradicts everything his agent has just said on talkshyte.

I don't think that Phil Smith is his agent, but someone closely involved in the deal.

He was adamant that all personal details where agreed and no other club was involved.

So like the bullshit rag story, I am inclined to think this is nonsense by the Mail.

The Daily Mail do however seem to be the one paper who relate to City and this would back up why MH last night stated talks were are at an advanced stage and tonight refuses to discuss the issue!
