Adebayor really leaving this time?



The latest reports say that Emanuel Adebayor wants out of Arsenal...again! This time however, the Togolese international is quoted as saying he's not too thrilled about being booed by his own fans this season and wants to play somewhere where he'll be more appreciated.

First off, it must be pointed out that Adebayor was booed by the Arsenal faithful due to his supposed lack of loyalty to the club. This usually happens when you say you'd like to play for Milan or Barcelona. But the booing certainly hasn't made him feel very welcome at the Emirates.

Furthermore, Arsene Wenger supposedly told Arsenal's shareholders last week he'd be willing to sell Adebayor to (get this) one of the Big Four! This can only mean Chelsea as Man Utd have too many strikers and Liverpool has a strict policy of having only one world-class striker at a time.

Of course, it goes without saying that whenever a footballer is available, the usual suspects such as AC Milan, Real Madrid and now Man City are all interested (an Adebayor-Robinho partnership would be most interesting...who'd be more selfish?).

But the big question is the impact this would have on the Gunners. Already firing blanks up front on a regular basis (except for that night when Asharvin scored four), Wenger knows that he needs to seriously beef up the squad this summer if they don't intend on once more being a spectator in the title race.

Adebayor may have his faults but is clearly more consistent than Van Persie or Bendtner and selling him may dry up the goals for good.

  1. Good riddance to ungrateful rubbish, I say. Less jaw-jaw and more score-score and you'd forgive the man who likened AC Milan's interest in him (and his in Milan's) to a boy's reaction that Beyonce was interested in him. Hope this time it's goodbye is forever.

  2. They better get a decent striker if he leaves. Bendtner can only score with his head, not with his feet.
