Adebayor reiterates Gunners contentment

Tue 26 May, 03:50 PM


Emmanuel Adebayor insists he is happy to stay at Arsenal despite alleged interest from AC Milan and Chelsea.

The striker has been repeatedly linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium this summer but while Adebayor admits he is flattered by interest from Italy, he wants to stay with Arsenal.

"All I can say is I am a footballer and if a club like Milan are interested in me then I cannot lie to you, I am happy, because it is Milan," said Adebayor. "But the thing is that it stops there - I am very happy playing for Arsenal, and this is what I always say."

He added: "At the end of the day you just get bored of this - people read these things and then the fans will boo you for what you never said, but again I repeat that I am very happy here.

"I have got nothing to say to anybody. People are always there to judge - but they are not on the pitch, they are writing what they want to.

"I cannot explain myself to those people. They think what they are saying is right. I cannot do a better job than a journalist. I cannot do a better job than politicians - what I can do is play my football.

"This season I have given 100% of what I have, and I'm looking forward to coming back next season and trying to achieve things.

"I don't care what we have to do to win something - we have got to do whatever it takes to bring trophies home."

  2. i would love to se Ade wearing anothers team shirt next­ season. If he thinks he gave his all whilst playing for­ us this season, then he had better move on. Our defence­ would have no problems dealing with his runs (walks),­ attempts on goal (few), fouls (many). The facts are you­ did not perform and you looked like you did'nt care­ while you where on the pitch. You write a lot about you­ and the team but the team seem to do better when you­ are not playing.

  4. SELL ADEBAYOR..WHAT???!!!! you must be crazy. Adebayor­ is a constant threat on the pitch to any opposition.­ Those who want him to go, simply dont like him (and I­ can understand that) but not that he is a bad striker;­ nor do these people understand football at all.
    ­ Chelsea & Milan are no fools to want him in their­ squad, because they can see & appreciate his talent­ & yet to be realised full potential.The guy is very­ young & still developing, that means he will get­ even better.
    For those who dont understand, check­ this out: the guy has, speed, strength & agility -­ that means he can bulldoze or slip through defences; he­ is also tall and therefore can score from, and defend­ crosses in the air. Moreover he is not selfish because­ he's been helping his team mates score goals­ through many assists.
    Admittedly, his conversion­ rate needs improvement, but same goes for Arsenal's­ other (tall) attacking options eg. RVP & worst of­ all, Bendtner. Also the others... Arshavin &­ Edwardo, good as they may be; are unfortunately not­ tall enough to offer the additional aerial threat that ­ Adebayor does.
    Yes he scored fewer goals this season­ but also so did the world's best player, Ronaldo,­ and the likes of him. This because the EPL got tougher­ & more competitive this season.
    Arsenal would­ be making a big mistake to sell Adebayor at this­ juncture.
    What the club needs is to strengthen its­ squad in all departments;defence, midfield &­ attack; by first keeping its core players then signing­ more experienced established additional players; so­ that club could cope with loss of key players through­ injuries but still remain competive enough to challenge­ and win trophies in seasons to come.
    Anyway, true ­ Arsenal supporters are happy hear that player has­ expressed desire to remain with the club.
    Please Mr­ Wenger, make everybody happy, splash a little more cash­ in the transfer market - as you did on Arshavin!

  6. If there is one player that should leave Arsenal it­ would have to be YOU Adebayo, we need someone who is­ more motivated and eager to score and win games­ "ONE OFFS" will not get as anywhere so please­ i just hop we a good price for you to bring in someone­ els.

  7. arthurlaws,willymcfarlane123, you are all a disgrace to­ the cause and should be utterly ashamed to call­ yourselves Gunners fans. No true fan would want to sell­ one of their best players. Berbatov cost Man Utd 30­ million quid and is the laziest striker in the BPL. But­ I've not heard any of their fans requesting that he­ be moved along. Adebayor's season was blighted by­ injuries at some point. However, that does not suggest­ that he won't have a 30 goal season next term what­ with Ashavin, Rosicky and Fabregas all kicking after a­ good preseason. All Adebayor needs is our support to­ regain his confidence. If you think he's that bad a­ striker, why does some of Europe's top teams want­ him? Think with your brains, people, not with your­ hearts. Adebayor appeared to be lazy in some games this­ season because Wenger was playing him as a lone stirker­ against some of the world's best defenders

  8. You know , dont supporters get sick and tired of ­ making excuses for non performing professional­ footballers, the remark Henry and Dennis played­ poorly when they were young like Adebayor , please tell­ me when that happened , when Henry and Dennis were the­ top pros at the club (highest paid) LIKE ADEBAYOR IS­ NOW I cannot remember them disappearing and having a­ bad game.

    Stop pandering to these pansy footballers­ and see it as it actually is !!!!

  9. I love to see Adebayor in next season. He has the­ talent and remember he is still really young. Don't­ forget. Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Herny played poorly­ in this ages too. But, they become great footballer in­ Arsenal. Adebayor is a strength, good body shape and­ high motivation in attach player. Skill can improve but­ the attitude and the love to Arsenal would never­ change. As a Arsenal fan, I REALLY REALLY hope to see­ we won't lose any of player in coming season. We­ lost too much good player in constant past­ years....that's the main reason we didn't­ achieve anything in these years as it seriously­ influence the mood of players.... GIVE MORE SUPPORT TO­ PLAYERS!!!!

ARSENE , PLEASE,PLEASE DONT LET US HAVE TO WATCH THE­ CLOWN ADEBAYOR FOR ANOTHER SEASON , HIS LANGUISHING IN­ OFFSIDE POSITIONS , HIS LACK OF BALL CONTROL, THE­ AMOUNT OF CHANCES HE NEEDS BEFORE HE CAN ACTUALY FIND­ THE NET, THE ARROGANCE WHEN HE DOES EVENTUALLY SCORE ,­ AS IF TO SAY , YOUR ALL UNBELIEVERS IN MY GREAT TALENT­ , I BEG YOU ARSENE GET RID,GIVE BENDTNER THE CHANCE­ AT LEAST HE`S HONEST.
