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

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. The dramatic news followed official confirmation from Everton yesterday that they had rejected a bid - believed to be £15m - for England defender Joleon Lescott.
Joleon Lescott
Staying put: Everton have turned down Man City's advances for Joleon Lescott.
Although club sources dismissed speculation that City boss Mark Hughes will switch his sights from Lescott to Nemanja Vidic and try to follow up his capture of former United striker Carlos Tevez with a daring bid in the region of £30m for Sir Alex Ferguson's defensive linchpin, City are clearly not worried about upsetting their neighbours. Tevez could make his debut when City open their pre-season tour of South Africa against Orlando Pirates in Polokwane today.
It kicks off the three -team Vodacom Challenge that sees City face Orlando's Soweto rivals Kaizer Chiefs on Tuesday.
Gareth Barry yesterday hit back at Anfield manager Rafael Benitez for accusing him of being a money-grabber after choosing City over Liverpool . The England midfielder said: 'People can talk about the money but the players who are now joining City are proving my decision to be a correct one.'

Nice to see people really enthusiastic about Ade again. If he's unveiled in the stadium today I hope they go wild for him. Like someone else said, when he feels loved by the fans he's an unbelievable player.

Great news in my opinion another quality addition to the club, if he passes his medical. He has probably just been holding out as he couldnt be arsed to go to SA.

All good things come to those who wait!
Mind you, with the supposed "New Era" at City ( The website didn't work on it's launch day and the promised live feedback of the Orlando Pirates game - didn't happen and no news until 30 minutes after it started), Ade may well get to the Clinic and find nobody has the key and it won't be open until Monday morning !
The more things change the more they stay the same !
It's still "Our" same old City at heart - great players and millions of pounds won't change that !
I'm kind of glad to say that being a City is fan is similar to living in an episode of Dad's Army !
