Adebayor (merged)

[avoidconfusion]

Please tell me we are not really offering 170k a week to this guy, that would be an absolute joke. I am sorry, I know our owners are minted and don't give a shit but this just ridiculous.

I can somehow understand that Robinho earns 160k a week, he is a world class superstar, but Adebayor? Surely that must be wrong information!

imo he deserves this wage, he is one of two players in the world that are big,good in the air, and can dribble very comfortably.

The other being ibrahimovich, but yea hes being a little greedy with the 2m he wants from arsenal.

No fucking way does he deserve 170k a week.

I feel this is another Eto situation! Adebayor is holding out for a loyalty bonus when to the Gooners he's been nothing but trouble. I think we should give him today to sign or move on. I like all the other signings so far but Adebayor I really dont like!

Agreed he will be one of those players who we all rate but never quite take to. - Berkovic comes to mind - great player but what an arsehole of a guy.

People seem to be thinking they know more about Adebayors character than they actually do. Stop flapping off guys.

good signing IMO gives competition to RSC
as both won't always be fit and available

Right, so he has gone back to training with Arsenal.

Here comes another saga!

let chelsea have him, a big step down from eto if you ask me, we could then go back for drogba or anelka.

Agree, this is a good call, what we have to remember is that all the top 4 have players competing in most positions, especially up front. If we are going to make a serious challange this year we need to have much more that a good first XI, remember a few times last year when on our day we would give anyone a run for their money, however, when one or two of our better players were missing we looked ordinary at best. Look at Villa, they were sat nice and then just fell away because they didn't have much on the bench, hence they failed to break into the CL places.

We need players like Ade as when they start/come on as sub they have the ability to change a game and improve whats already on the pitch. City have to think BIG and unfortunately with the types of players required you also get BIG ego's, its just the way it is !

Listening to talk..... again repeating interview with his agent again, not about money, already agreed along with work permit all about leaving arsenal not about coming to city.

When the lad gets here, hopefully he does, and he lines up next to Robinho and Tevez, I think hell find he made the right decision. With those two playing off him he will be a much better player.

This has got to go down as one of the worst threads in this forums history.

Adebayor is one of the best strikers in the Premiership, if not the best, because of his age and goals. Only Torres can rival him.

Would be City's biggest ever signing. Ih he signs it will propel us into the reckoning for the top 4. Very few players could have that effect.
