Now City want Adebayor

After a month of relatively no speculation at all concerning the future of Emanuel Adebayor at Arsenal, the Togolese international's made the headlines once again and, you've guessed it right, he's linked with a move to Man City.

And just in case you're wondering, Carlos Tevez is expected to be unveiled as a Man City player some time soon. So, yes, what the heck is City up to?

Buying Adebayor at this stage of the transfer window clearly indicates that Hughes and Co have given up on signing Samuel Eto'o. But it also means that City is bent on having at least four world class strikers in the squad (Robinho, Santa Cruz, Tevez and Adebayor). Why? Does Sparky think linning up four strikers instead of two is going to win him anything?

And if he is going to play all four of them at the same time, which department gets sacrificed? The midfield or the defence? Or are these strikers going to be deployed in positions they aren't familiar with?

It just doesn't make any sense and why Sparky wants to splurge more money on strikers and he's got a joke for a defense is beyond any reasonable and rationale-thinking human being. Still, I suppose we should thank Hughes for doing all this. It will certainly be quite entertaining to see how City perform next season.

All the same, these transfers certainly raise the question of the intellectual capacity of these footballers. Except for Santa Cruz, Tevez and Adebayor, should they move, will be sacrificing their careers at clubs that are vastly superior to City. So why make such a move? Greed?

Tevez is perhaps one of the best strikers in England and it would seem nothing short of insanity to pick City over Chelsea. As for Adebayor, he was once courted by AC Milan and Barcelona. Surely, Man City's no substitute for either one of those clubs. There's just no reasonable explanation why they'd go ahead with such decisions.
