Inside Info
I have no idea what this means, but a friend of mine, who works in the agent/football world and told me about Redknapp to Spurs 2 days before it happend has just phoned me to tell me he's had to cut a meeting short because Agent X had to leave after saying this to someone over the phone
"Is Arsene There? Is Brian There? Right, I'm coming down now. Tell him its 40...It's £40 Million and the Sheik isn't moving and I'm not moving with him...And if he wants more I'll stick him in the fecking reserves and tell the press about it
He then left.
I have no reason to bullshit you, and I have no idea whether it's to do with Adebayor or not but it mentioned Arsene, £40mil and a Sheik so I assumed so...though I don't know why Adebayor would want the transfer fee raised, or why he's worth 40 feckin mill..unless it's his agent..
Anyway, just putting it out there....Whatever it is you'll hear about it in the coming days

Why would an agent be sticking someone in the reserves?
I have no idea..He may well of said we....It's been relayed to me so it's secondary source information...but the bloke it comes from knows his onions and Told me abour 'Arry a couple of days before that happened...but I dunno. Why would he be upping the price? I can't believe he'll go for £40m to be honest. Arse have got a great deal if so...
40 million is ridiculous. Fabregas? 
To be honest I'd have thought £40m would be about right for him, given that the price would be increased by the fact it's City.
£40M might be the total value of his 5-year deal.
fingers crossed
really hope he doe'snt stay

Yep sounds like it's an offer to Adebayor and the press have been speculating that his wage demands are what's holding up the deal.
Well that would make more sense...apparently the offer he wanted was £42m....I also neglected to mention that Agent in question called him a ****. 
Who's Brian
Could be Marwood, who played on the left wing for us in 1989 and now doesn't have a good word for us. He's working for Gary Cook-end.
£40m over a five year contract. £8m a year, or £153,846.15 a week. Sounds about right.
Adebayor is proving a lot more trouble than he's worth. I'm glad we're not trying to sign him. Even for a seemingly "reasonable" 25mil.
...
Will probably better his own record of offsides at Man City. He's a player that has never impressed me.
I reckon he'd start in our team if he was one of our four strikers.
I think he's very good, and I think him and Tevez are an excellent partnership in terms of contrast of styles and all round quality.
And I know that's not a popular opinion at all, but I can't help it. I think they're both much better than they're given credit for by their respective (ex)fans.

'Undisclosed' eh? I reckon we took 'em to the cleaners.
I couldnt agree more, i thought it was madness when Milan came in last year offering £30m! Hes the only player imo who could score 30 goals in a season and still look crap
Really good player prior to last season. True he has no composure but he was always a handful.
Last season though he would fit firmly in the 'waste of space' thread. I can't see moving to City being much motivation for him either. Looks like an early retirement job.

Don't think anybody can seriously question Adebayor's quality. Did not Rio come out and say he was the most difficult striker he has played against and with the teams we have played that is a very impressive compliment. I also heard Fergie was interested in him a few years ago but then again who are we not linked with?
Good striker but without the right midfield or defence City would still flop.
My Arsenal supporting mate thinks you guys received £33 million for him, with additional clauses
that can't be right can it? What's the fee touted at?I fukin hope so and good for Arsenal.
How will city play do u think?
I love the way the BBC are even commenting on the massive amount of attacking players now at City.
so that tevez twat joined city which has 9 strikers because he wasn't getting any chances to play at utd.
well done you twat...atleast be honest and admit you joined because of the money.

Incidentally, Chelsea are in the first half of our first pre-season game in Seattle, Sturridge has already scored one and looks like a very, very interesting player- why the hell Man City let him go for nonsense money whilst spending £100million on Tevez, Santa Cruz and Adebayor I don't know.
Madness. Why can't they keep their fecking oil money in the desert building indoor ski facilities and lush palaces?
My money's on Tevez getting fewer games at City than United.
it would please me no end.
Because even they baulked at paying £60K a week for a promising but unproven 19-year-old player.
I don't think Abu Dhabi have indoor ski facilities...
I would imagine it would be more a 4-3-3 with Adebayor/Santa Cruz flanked by two of Tevez/Robinho/SWP/Elano (assuming he stays) and the midfield to be Barry/Kompany/Ireland.
Well, he retired after failing to beat Ronaldo in the scoring charts in 06/07...
He's only hanging around to collect his wages.
By the look of things, either Liverpool or Arsenal will be out of the Champions League, come the following year.
There are a whole series of brilliant lays available on betfair: City to win the league, top 2 finish, top 3 finish, top 4 finish. Probably be able to cash in before Xmas if you don't want to wait til next May.
Adebayor had the one good consistant season before last. Last year he was utter rubbish and caused dressing room shite
Fking great deal for us I'd have taken 15 mill let alone nearly double that
Thing is, he is a good player and has proved it but only when he wants to be - he understands nothing of team ethic and work rate
I do agree he, being a lazy fkr, could be a hit with Tevez doing all the dirty work for him but frankly it won't last - Adebayor likes an easy life and he'll end up in warmer climes in Europe.
When he's arsed he's good - other than that - total bollocks
Great deal for us imo
why do you think? I'd love it if that were the case, but (and I realize this means nothing) every piece of journo speculation had it at somewhere between 22 and 25m.
what's his basis for thinking that?My Arsenal supporting mate thinks you guys received £33 million for him, with additional clauses
tbh, I don't really want to make money if it means Ade hitting the performance clauses
