Lescott seems to have died down a tad. I think either kompany or onuoha fits the bill well enough.

Dont worry about Lescott, Im sure he will be here when the time is right which hopefully will be soon.

So if you get Lescott as well as Ade + everyone else you've already signed: you'll have a goal scoring threat from long balls, passing to feet, counter attacking, crosses in the box, free kicks, set peices...

I guess Lescott adds to the set peices part... but you have enough that can score them anyway!

Now all you'll need is a midfielder that can score from 80 yards?? That's all I think you'll be missing!

Even if Ade had missed the plane, If he flies tonight he will still be there in time for the first game! Im guessing we have something lined up for him as if/when he signs he will do the interviews on mcfc.co.uk and stuff

Aren't the squad supposed to be stopping off in Abu Dhabi en route to do some PR, Photo ops, shirt signings etc ? Plenty of time for him to catch up with them in S/A yet.


I believe that that is th plan. Says so on the back page of todays MEN.

have i missed something i'v only just got and went onto bbc sport and its saying adebayor has passed his medical but its not on ssn?

it this true or?

sorry if this has been answered before but i'v only just got up so i dont have no clue lol.

thanks

It seems to be true mate. A guy on here said Ade was having his medical at 10:30pm last night and then it broke on Radio5 Live at around 12am that he had passed. We are just waiting on the work permit now mate

thanks a lot mate :)

You never know, Alonso could be leaving liverpool . . . lol.

I'm honestly not sure about Adebayor. He's top quality but obviously has an attitude, which we have enough of as it is. This seems to be a signing more dictated by getting in a big name african player than by getting in the right player. He'll start, which means we'll have spent £18 million on RSC for him to be a substitute.

We dont fly out to SA until tomorrow night. Abu Dhabi today and tomorrow then off to the pre season over there. Be interesting to see what happens today and tomorrow with signings.... Will Terry fly to America? Will Ade fly out with him on Thursday? Interesting time for us blues regardless.

Haha yes exactly like that one. Every video ive seen of him is funny. He certainly has charisma. His singing is the best along with the 2unlimited dance

Well thats usually where Stevie Ireland releases the ball from before setting off on his run for the finish so maybe we have it all covered eh ? ;o)

Who exactly will be dealing with these negotiations now Cooky and Hughes have jetted off to SA ?

Would be nice to announce Ade today, he is another fantastic player.

Tevez-Adebayor/RSC-Robinho.

No better attack in the league at the moment.

Emmanuel passes medical at City

Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor has passed a medical at Manchester City and is set to complete a move to Eastlands, subject to his work permit being approved.

The Togo striker has spent three and a half years at Arsenal following a £7m move from Monaco and scored 62 goals in 142 appearances. Adebayor had also been linked with a move to AC Milan or Chelsea but City now appear to have beaten them both for his signature.

It has been another sensational 24 hours for the blues, following Tuesday's capture of Argentine striker Carlos Tevez. If Adebayor does sign for the blues, City will have signed players from three of the leading six clubs in the last year, a clear sign of intent from the owners who are firmly putting their money where their mouths are.

Meanwhile manager Mark Hughes has not given up hope of signing John Terry from Chelsea, claiming the blues can 'offer something different' to the England skipper. "When you have bee with a club for a long time, you get to a point when a change of scenery could reignite you," says Hughes.
