Premier League - Toure, Adebayor in training row

Tue, 04 Jan 15:17:00 2011

Manchester City's Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Adebayor had to be separated by team-mates after fighting during training on Tuesday.

- 0

City travel to Arsenal on Wednesday for a match that will be a stern test of their Premier League title credentials, but former Gunners's stars Toure and Adebayor's training ground clash on the eve of the game is not ideal preparation for manager Roberto Mancini.

Another ex-Arsenal player, Patrick Vieira, had to get in between the pair to keep them apart as teams-mates pulled them away from each other.

It is not the first time this season that there has been in-fighting at the club. There have previously been bust-ups between James Milner and Yaya Toure, Mario Balotelli and Jerome Boateng and Carlos Tevez and Mancini.

Mancini will already be without injured duo Mario Balotelli and David Silva for the trip to the Emirates. City, currently joint-top of the table with local rivals Manchester United, have not won away at Arsenal since 1975.

  2. Who can be jealous of city's money when you have­ players who think that they are better than anyone­ else.
    You cannot buy trophy's by buying heathens­ like Adebayor and Toure (you only have to look at them­ with Aresenal). Their are too many over paid players at­ City and that will not bring them success.
    Look to­ Manchester United, do you see any bust ups between­ their players because one thinks he is better than the­ others?. An emphatic NO
    And the only smell in­ Manchester, is the smell of success at Old Trafford.­
    By the way, don't forget the TREBLE, something­ that City will never succeed in doing.

  9. ..and let us see if your squad have that­ strenght-in-depth by beating Arsenal tonight without da­ Silva and Balotelli..or are you playing mind games,­ Brian?

  10. Well, what say you Mr. Kidd..I'd rather have a­ harmonious squad than one full of bickering­ prickmadonnas. The reality is you and your­ as-good-as-Sir Alec boss can't instil any form of­ discipline let alone humility in your squad. But­ you're stupid enough to let it happen for the­ benifit of your rivals. THANK YOU!!

  15. Oh Gary - it has become the new City answer to any­ criticism.

    " Your just jealous of our money­ !!"

    Errr - no we arn't.

  16. Good points Mna.

    You cant just "start" a­ premiership club - so you have to buy one and City were­ perfect fodder - @#$% players and teetering on the edge­ of their annual relegation battle (only fit for the­ scrapheap as a club), but with a sparkling new stadium.­

    So you buy them for a bargain price and that gets you­ a ready built new stadium and premiership TV­ rights.

    Living in Manchester, i can tell you that City­ always have been just a sad joke (and i am not a MANU­ fan either - so no axe to grind)

    I do happen to know­ quite a few of the proper City fans who have always­ supported them and many have jacked in their season­ tickets as they just dont recognise the club anymore as­ it is an ever changing management and squad and also­ they hate all the false "history" marketing­ @#$% - which is actually worse than Manures.

    Like i­ said earlier - Manchester City ceased to exist in 2008.­ The Arabs took over £300 million of debt so they can­ develop all the slum wasteland around Eastlands into­ leisure industries.

    Simple as that - they have no­ interest in football.

  20. Any of them walk on the pitch tomorra with a black eye­ or a caulli ear and I'll say yeah, they had a­ fight. But in all honesty I still think they will walk­ onto the park with their ballet shoes still on, doing­ up their neck scarves while carrying their makeup bags.­ Couple of overpaid overated old ta rts.
