Good signing...hmmm...Adebayor had one good season, and Arsenal couldnt wait to get rid of him in this transfer window. He will suffer the Arsenal syndrome, where every player who has left has been poor afterwards...Overmaars, Petit, Anelka, Aliadiere, etc

Adebayor must have been convinced that he stands more chance of winning the Champions League at MC than if he stayed at Arsenal. Unfortunately Arsenal just don't quite seem to have the resources to pack out their squad with enough top draw players to stay the distance. Chelsea seem to be standing still if not going backwards with Abramovich seemingly tiring of splashing the cash, MU are going through a transition having lost two of their best players in Ronaldo and Tevez and have ageing stars they rely on too heavily in Scholes and Giggs and Liverpool still rely too heavily on Gerrard and Torres.
Personally I would not be surprised to see either one of them drop out of the top 4 next season.
MC getting into the top four depends entirely on quickly the new players gel and how Hughes manages the inevitable conflicts that will arise when top quality players are left on the bench.
Their defence is still a concern however it looks like the game plan is attack is the best form of defence and they simply intend to score more goals than the opposition.

Even with a lack of players capable of, y'know, stopping the other team scoring, City are looking strong for next season and I'd even make them marginal favourites for that coveted fifth place spot.

I'm sorry, have City fans not looked at Adebayors stats. The man had half a good season where he scored thirty goals - his despicable collapse in the second half cost us the title that year. He then claims to be as good as Henry and demands 80k a week, and then disappears for another season. The man is a disgrace - I was desperate to sell him last summer and thought we'd missed the boat on a £20 mill plus deal. Thank god for the blue mancs.
You've just bought the most overrated, offside, goal shy, lazy player I've ever seen at Arsenal, and if he feels the fans pushed him out, I feel proud to be one of them. Good riddance to bad rubbish, hello to £18 mill profit, lol!!!

"Not according to Usmanov, one of your highest shareholders doh"

Usmanov, Mike Ashley, the Glazers and the like - their opinions on on the pitch matters are gospel now?

It is clear that we need players who are committed to any cause and in all respect, Adebayor lacked the commitment to Arsenal amd it was a grt decision to let him go, while more taleneted and higher profile players like Fabregas willingly play for the club, he was either injured, lazy, offside or causing problems in the chnging room.It was a grt decision to sell him, Hughes will see it when Adebayor stops scoring he stops, and that can be for three months even.then he will see that 25mil, was wasted.
