An amazing statement by mr barndoor

I speak Togolese. Bizarrely, that statement translates as:

"I turned down £110,000 and £108,995 to join £160,000"

on Adebayor leaving Arsenal:
The theory on the press is that because fans are generally indifferent or even looking forward to the sale, it must be a good deal for a declining/lazy player. An indirect implication of this theory is that Arsenal should spend the cash right away for a replacement.

There are 2 holes in this theory. One, there is no strong evidence that the majority or even a significant minority of fans are calling for the sale of Adebayor. He may have had a mediocre season, with speculation and a long injury. But this shouldn’t be the reason for all good will to dry up after such a dominating performance in 2008.

I still remember Bendtner got booed at home only to come right back and score a winning goal at the Ems. Even Cesc didn’t play particularly well in games highlighted for Ade’s supposed “laziness.â€

I've gone all sentimental now he's gone, there were some cracking goals, but still, he caused more harm than good!

Bye bye you greedy fuckwit. Here's hoping you don't work out the offside rule!

Adebayor chooses LIFE
By Avenell Dave

Choose Arsenal?

Choose a team full of exciting young players.

Choose a club with a tradition of success.

Choose a team who has played in the Champions League every season for the last decade.

Choose a manager who defended me when others doubted my commitment.

Choose a team with players like Andrey, Theo, Samir, Robin, Tomas and Carlos, who can create chances at will.

Choose the only manager I have never publicly fallen out with.

Choose a team who are renowned for the exciting way they play football.

Choose a team who will challenge for the title next season.

Choose a team for whom not winning a trophy is a complete disaster, not the norm.



No, I choose something else...



I chose to play at a club who don’t realise that I don’t understand offside.

I chose a side who don’t have Nasty Nic Bendtner in the dressing room.

I chose not to play European football next season.

I chose to join a squad of expensive faces, not a team.

I chose not to have to play in the limelight next season.

I chose to avoid top level pressure.

I chose £155,000 a week.

I chose Manche$ter City.



No, my friend Eboue, come and join me....

Good fucking riddance to a lazy, greedy, unmotivated, cumbersome, egotistical big head and total arsehole of a human-being.

£25m? Nice one Arsene!
