Ade Adieu

Its time to say goodbye to Emmanuel Adebayor the Togolese striker. He had joined our club 3yrs back from Monaco for mere 3million pounds and had been sold off proudly for a massive 25million pounds. Once again Arsene Wenger proved what a master craftsman he is in minting money. Not so famous average headed Ade went on to become seasons top scorer a couple of seasons back. He had been associated with a move away from Emirates Stadium from last season. Ever since his lack of dedication and motivation was visible. Arsenal had got what they needed from the Togo frontman and happily sold him off to Manchester City who is known for making business with greedy players around the world.

Though Adebayor claims that he was not greedy and he left Arsenal hoping to win trophies and help Man City to break into the top four in EPL. Any given day Arsenal fans would have welcomed his decision to depart. Hope the hopes of Ade to help Man City becomes a reality. Adebayor could be a big success in Man City in case he plays along with Tevez and Robinho. The reason is he will get more chances since the other guys will be obviously marked by good defenders leaving Adebayor free. This was one reason he was able to score lot of goals two seasons back. You can definitely feel the influence of Eduardo in that. Last season since Eduardo was not there and when given huge responsibilities we saw how Ade fumbles. He is a proven striker and great against mediocre oppositions. But in big matches under pressure he was not the best choice.

Adebayor's departure will give Arsenal more money to spent in the next transfer window in case they feel there is a gap in striking department which currently they feel is negligible by the return of Eduardo and arrival of Arshavin. Arsenal will also be able to give more oppourtunity to its youngsters Vela and Bendtner too.

Wish you good luck Ade and forget the dream of winning trophies and entering top 4. If it was that easy any team can do by allowing itself to be bought by some millionaire. It takes time and brain to do that. So I believe your new manager has enough brains for sure. But please don't think it is immediate as you said in that interview. Why not this year?

Thanks to Arsene Wenger for helping Arsenal free up so much money and trying to gel together.
