Premier League - Ade wants to be loved - agent

Eurosport - Thu, 03 Jul 18:34:00 2008

Emmanuel Adebayor's agent has demanded Arsenal demonstrate their desire to keep the in-demand striker at Emirates Stadium.

FOOTBALL 2007-2008 Premier League Arsenal Emmanuel Adebayor - 0

European giants Barcelona and AC Milan have made no secret of their interest in the Togo international after he struck 30 goals for the Gunners last term.

However, manager Arsene Wenger is reluctant to allow Adebayor to depart the club he joined from Monaco in 2006, with Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani stating on Wednesday that it is 'impossible' for the Serie A side to meet Arsenal's valuation of the player.

Adebayor's agent, though, feels it is key that Arsenal strongly indicate they are eager to hold on to the 24-year-old, who Stephane Courbis claims has not demanded an increase in wages at Emirates Stadium.

"It is vital that Arsenal show their motivation to keep him," agent Courbis said in the Daily Star.

"There has been a love story between Adebayor and Arsenal and his relationship with Arsene Wenger is based on trust and respect.

"If this was a money problem, then he would have asked to leave. He is a man of heart, not of money. He is not greedy."

  2. Adebayo,please my advice for you is not to leave Arsenal for any reason now. If you did, you might not be relevant again.You are only scoring goals because you are in Arsenal.Out of 20 chances created you always manage to score 2.Which other club will you be getting that support?

  3. To EmMoney Ade: Do not try to win fans' heart back again when you failed to move out. If you really do love Arsenal that much, you shouldnt ask for the pay rise that much. It was your luck last seanson to score 30goals but that doesnt mean you are world class player. Look at the statistic you actually wasted the chance 3 times more than your goals. Given this statistic, you are at Toure standard. Given the chances that you were fed, C. Ronaldo can score more than 70 goals, Torres can score 60 goals, oh yeah, you are a bit better than Schevchenko. ^^

  4. Let him go because he missed nearly three times the amount than he scored and most of them were easy chances. Get well soon Eduardo.

  6. abebayor was just lucky that rvp and eduardo were injured if not one of them would have ended top scorer...Bendner could have also been impressive if was given as many starts as ade

  8. Adebayor is a fool he had one half decent season scored 30 goals ...yeah??if van persie and eduardo were fit they would do the same ..oh and adebayor you run around that pitch like a t*t ..get on the bus and f**k off

  9. just another suerb example of the horrible parasite that is the professional football manager. i don't know adebayor as a person but in all tv interviews/appearances i have seen he seems a likeable type of fellow. as a goalscorer he has some runs on the board but he is no TH14 as he was spoonfed the majority of his 30 goals last season. one season does not make a career and the player should sack this leech and say what he really feels and not what this blood sucking puppeteer is feeding him. we all know that these pigs only get their windfall when players move clubs and % of salary commission obviously increases with the players paypacket. we need to rid ourselves of this horrible scurge and let the players do what they do - play football and build careers.

  10. Ade should be taken in a cab by Wenger to City airport and told to p**** OFF!!!! quick he might just catch hisd flight......"The flight for Money grabbing pretentious strikers will be leaving from Gate 11" addios!!!!!

    From ercanbassman, on Thu 3 Jul 5:09PM
  11. If Barca had actually offered 24m pound for Adebayor and are prepared to increase their offer, please Wenger sell him now and use the proceeds to acquire younger artists between 16 to 20 yrs of age. That amount is a massive profit.

    From alphonso, on Thu 3 Jul 4:30PM
  12. if its not about cash...what more does he want for us to him love.the value is up because we dnt want him to leave.anyways if he insists, let him go

    From odumayowa, on Thu 3 Jul 11:38AM
  16. Please Mr Wenger sell Adebayor FAST at 7million and a reported 24 million, that is massive profit, GIVE BENDTNER A RUN AND SERVICE LIKE ADEBAYOR GOT AND YOU WILL SEE WHOS GOT MORE TO OFFER, ADEBAYOR HAS NO EXCEPTIONAL FOOTBALL TALENT..BENDTNER HAS MARK MY WORDS.
    Adebayor may end up as one season wonder where will we be then after offering him maybe 70k-80k to stay.
    If any of you have not noticed, all our build ups in matches BREAK DOWN WITH ADEBAYOR, AT LEAST IF YOU CANNOT HIT THE TARGET GIVE THE BALL BACK TO YOUR TEAMMATES DONT LOSE THE BALL AND HOLD UP YOUR HANDS.
    MY WISH FOR THE NEXT SEASON TEAM...ALMUNIA/FABIANSKI, SAGNA/HOYTE, TOURE/SENDEROS, GALLAS/NORDVELT, CLICHY/TRAORE. WALCOTT/EBOUE, FABREGAS/DENILSON, DIABY/GIBERTO, nasri/ROSICKY...VAN PERSIE/BENDTNER/VELA/EDUARDO/eto'o

    SELL HLEB, SELL ADEBAYOR, BUY NASRI, BUY ETO'O IMPROVE ON THIS GROUP'S SALARIES AND I AM CONTENT.

  17. adebayor should chose between bettering his career at arsenal or going for short lived cash and become irrelevant

    From jameswycliff@rocketmail.com, on Thu 3 Jul 10:34AM
  18. adebayor should be proud that he,s wearing the shirt of the arsenal and play for f##k all, he,s a good player but not great, he should remember that, and he,ll struggle to bang in 30 goals a season in any other team, if money isnt an issue, shut up and play in a superb footballing team, or just bugger off to spain/italy, we,ll do without you anyway, wenger will make sure of that

    From julieepotter, on Thu 3 Jul 10:30AM
  19. Ade-he is not worth 30 mil and should stay at arsenal if he wants to develop into a world class player instead of looking for better wages-bayor

    From dk3917, on Thu 3 Jul 10:23AM
  20. ....Are you serious?! who does this agent and Ade-BYE-yor think we are? stupid? ignorant? blind?..if he is not greedy...then im not sitting here on my desk with my blood boillin at what have been said..nooo im not! in fact my face is red because i can adopt to my..umm surrounding?!....lol

    Anyhow..Adebayor...Agent whatever ur name is...i hope ur reading this...but...u have no idea how hard we Arsenal fans are laughing....dont be stupid...thats ur second strike..first u say..(which was i think 2 or 3 days ago) that Ade is not greedy..not u repeat it again?...dont go anywhere near strike 3..because as far as i can see it now..its pretty hard to accept Adebayor now....no sir..so stop making Arsene Wenger look like the bad guy..because deep down we know who's the greedy little @#$% is
