This is not the news I wanted to hear. This jerk played like garbage last season, acting like he wanted to get sent off during the CL semis and generally being worthless despite his huge raise.
If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't be criticising him like I am. He whinged, he dove, he did everything other than stay onside and try to score. And unfortunately, that was the case most of the season. He got his money, and he essentially slipped into a comfort zone. He looked like a greedy and spoilt footballer.
Now Wenger's unmatched loyalty looks to ruin what many Arsenal supporters had hoped would be the sale that financed at least one or maybe even two squad-strengthening purchases. Where is the classy, holding midfielder? Where is a REAL goal scorer? We're to pin our hopes on the fragile health of Eduardo? I don't have any expectations that he'll figure in even 20 matches. Rosicky? No, probably not him, either.
I'm not one of those plastic Arsenal supporters who thinks Wenger is past it or doesn't know what he's doing anymore. I've posted before that I fully understand the constraints within which he must operate. But knowing that, why not get maximum value for a player who displayed such a terrible attitude last season when the club needed him more than ever? Are we to believe that there isn't a player in the world who could do what Adebayor did last season for less than 80,000 quid a week? I'd as soon start Carlos Vela up front--at least he gives that Tevez-esque headless chicken effort. EFFORT. That was severely lacking from Adebayor.
