Photo Gallery: Emmanuel Adebayor arrives at Man City, poses in City shirt
It’s happened people. The madness continues…Â Emmanuel Adebayor is officially a Manchester City player now, the club having confirmed on its official website that he has signed a five-year contract, for an undisclosed fee.
This from the City website:
“A crowd of around 300 Blues fans were at the City of Manchester Stadium to greet the striker whose was named African Player of the Year for 2008.
The player was hugely impressed by his reception.
It made me feel really welcome and special and I can’t wait to play for City’s fans and show them what I can do,” he declared after completing the bulk of the paperwork.
I was born to play football and that is what I want to do. I have come here to make history for this club and those supporters. It what the chairman and the manager told me that they want too and I can’t wait to get started.”
Three-hundred fans!! Wow, that kind of puts C-Ron’s 80,000 into perspective (only joking).

That gunner fella is a real knobhead, thick as pigshit, hope the rest of you arsenhole fans are proud of him
BAD APPLE, WON’T BE HAPPY WHEN HE’S NOT FIRST CHOICE STRIKER, HE’LL BE ON THE MOVE AGAIN COME JANUARY
he wudnt have with arsenal either
Good luck to Ade and Man Citeh, hopefully you guys can become the no 1 side in Manchester. Ade lost his way at the Arsenal which is a shame, but when on form and motivated, he’ll be an asset to his new team and knowing our luck, he will probably score against us when we meet.lol
i really wonder who does the buying of players at city, honestly how does a club buy 8+ strikers in a space of a year! Seems rather idiotic to me but hey im just thinking out loud.
i seriously think for such a young bloke, ade has his head not screwed on properly. someone needs to sit him down and get his head straight, he’s got a toxic attitude all the better for arsenal now that he’s gone. and for the record, he does deserve all the flak he’s getting at the moment. what an idiot!
Northen PRICK, where did you finish last season and you think the players you bought are such world class?? only tevez but he will soon leave when he wakes up and relises that you just a bunch of wankers trying to do a chelski but the difference is Southern has more class.
Your such a twat. Why does it always have to be racist. We’re glad to see him gone cos he’s a greedy slag like everyone else that goes to shity. Shity are the spurs of manchester always second best you prick!
What a bunch of bitter illiterate knobheads, can’t speak without effing and blinding, no wonder the south is the arsehole of the country
Sure not shure you thick racist twat, calling him a monkey. Didn’t we beat you 3-0 at home last season. Fucking hell how many trophies did you win 0. Quality team. Southern fucking fairies. Your team have to sell and never buy because you are the poorest team in London. Love Wenger shame the fans are twats
First of all the comment about jamaican drug dealer – was made by someone called David I assume was from Leeds?
This is not sour grapes or sniping for the sake of it but I am glad Ade is gone.
07/08 season when Henry left I was optimistic because pre season was fantastic and everyone was up for the fight when Henry left. Gooners thought that should RVP stay fit we were in with a chance. He was sicknote though after a few games and Ade did a sterling if surprising job of scoring alot of goals. In close season Ade flirted with other clubs openly and was rewarded by kicking up a fuss about wages after one good season. As arrogant as Henry was he was quality and deserved his wages because he did it week in week out year in year out. Ade on the other hand was not worth the reported £30m Milan and Barcelona were willing to pay for him – we would’ve sold him if those clubs were interested – they were but probably for considerably less than £30m.
Ade’s inconsistent touch and penchant for going offside alot were tolerated because he was a work horse we loved him for his effort. 08/09 effort disappeared.
He’s probably worth closer to £15m mark.So when City bought Ade for £25m or so as a Gooner I am chuffed. He is Anelka as a teenager badly advised and money grabbing. Ade is not a teenager he’s in his mid 20s. Money grabber – Simples!!!
I thought i’d say something about the dark coloured players comment – it was certainly made out of ignorance. players have always celebrated goals in strange ways. liking a player or not because of his colour is kind of hilarious. A person is more than the level of melanin in their skin – just think before you commit your thoughts to blog!
Oh by the way Nigeria waado.
Hope the issue is sorted soon Ollie, have just read about it on Unprofessional Foul.
I wondered why you wern’t posting…
Why did the posts stop?
Even a blind one can see there is something wrong here. How can one be happy getting rid of something really bad and still get furious about it. Racism aside, I can see everything in Arsenal fans reactions except anexpression of joy. Traitor, no loyalty, greedy are the words that come a million times. Why don’t you confess it: YOU ARE ALREADY MISSING ADEBAYOR. You can bet on this: let’s wait and see when next a player will net 30 goals for you in a season. Adebayor is not irreplacable but like Henry, Ronaldo etc…, they are ONE in a generation… So stop crying Arsenal fans… I pity you all for next season
