Your a funny one you.

So Becks, what do u mean by scarred for life?
Btw, thx for handling floody

excellent point.

this is something i have been saying since his arrival in England and something i fully believe.

after his little bit of form the adebayor love-in went crazy, i stuck to my guns and it appears his fortune has ended and reality is dawning.

its a pleasure to see an Arsenal fan echo my thoughts. well done sir.

I've been saying it too Hill so stop blowing your trumpet! I also vaguely recall saying Adebayor has gone up in your estimation and retracted your earlier critiscisms of him

Definitely not 'Big 4' standard. Then again, if he played in a 'lesser' team, the chances he gets wouldn't come so frequently and this goal rush would dry up.

i never retracted a thing...



That is what i said.

at the time he was proving me wrong. however as i pointed out, it was simply down to him being in the form of his life not that he is top class and can consistently do it.

I'm better looking than you

I've never liked Adebayor. Since the first day I joined this site, I've always said I didn't like him. I did however give him praise during his 9 game run of 11 goals or something along those lines. But as a whole, I still don't like him and think we can do much better in the striker department (either from developing some of our younger strikers, or going out and buying one). I still think Bendtner will become a better striker than Adebayor in due time as long as he continues to work hard at his game.

I think Adebayor is big 4 standard. Easily.

He hasn't been in the ebst of form lately, but he did wrongly get a goal disallowed against Boro.

He has been better than almost all of the other strikers for the big 4 this season, so i don't think it's fair to say he isn't big 4 standard.

Who would you want last from Rooney, Drogba, Torres & Adebayor?

yeah.. right .. first it's eboue.. now it's adebayor.. who's next?.. wait.. i think senderos's in the list along with them too.. thinking of changing your club then?..

uh.. i didn't read anything like that.. i'm tempted to find my posts to quote them..



oh come on.. sticky.. you've got soft spots for anyone now..



torres.. Rooney.. drogba..

yeah.. that's three only..

i've always been saying that the fourth one doesn't deserve to be in the top-scorer list.. as he hardly does anything to earn his goals.. he's just always happened to be at the right position and the right time..

What like Van Nistelrooy.

You've lost your mind. You know damn well I have always hated Adebayor; and Eboue; and yes Senderos. And I critique each and every one of them a lot.

I praised Adebayor during his good run of form, but he's still not on the top of my list. And I've praised Senderos over his good run of form while Toure was gone. And Eboue, I've always hated him, hate him the most.

indeed

i wasn't a fan of rvn and you can ask anyone at home.. except my mom.. that i'd been complaining about him till he left..

tevez's soon becoming one my most fave strikers.. he's hardworking and willing to pass..

easy smurfy.. lucky we're seperated miles away.. otherwise i need to call 911 by now..

i know how you hate them.. that's why i suggest you to give a little bit credit to adebayor when he kicked the ball to the right position.. maybe something like -> finally.. you don't miss the target..

no worries about eboue anyway.. think he's leaving for barca soon.. from what i heard

Again, you choose not to read my whole post. What part of this ... "I praised Adebayor during his good run of form, but he's still not on the top of my list. And I've praised Senderos over his good run of form while Toure was gone." do you not understand.

i believe that's one after he saved your teams from dropping points for a few times.. tragic indeed..

anyway.. have a great weekend with the trotters..

I've never rated Adebayor either. As said, his first touch is appalling, his heading and passing ability is questionable and he isn't as quick as everyone thinks he is.
The biggest problem with him is he needs 5 chances to score one. I have always felt he was our plan B, certainly not our main striker - he just isn't good enough. I can never understand why TV pundits rave about him. Or Wenger, come to that.
I think Wenger's policy of making unknowns into great players is fantastic but every now and then, you need to buy quality when it is on offer. If we had Torres, we would still be top now and in control of the PL. Adebayor is one unknown too many.
With all the talk of Palladino, Robinho etc; I hope it is Adebayor that is offloaded to accommodate one of them.

i like adebayor, but he has been crap since he cut his hair. and i keep getting him and toure mixed up with his new haircut!

Adebayor is a quality striker, definitely top four standard. Give the guy a break!

It's his first full season in the Arsenal team and he's scored 23 goals in 36 games, 19 in the league. Yeah he's on a bad run of form but class is permanent and I'm sure he'll regain the scoring touch.

It should be noted that Adebayor's decline in form has also seen his team's results suffer. He is largely responsible for Arsenal being at the top of the table for so long this season. Fabregas gets loads of attention because he is a quality player, but Adebayor's contribution has been every bit as good.

Everyone creams their pants over Drogba, yet he was diabolical in his first season in England. Adebayor will get even better, I'm sure.

I disagree, I dont think he is as good as his form thsi season suggests. Put him in a team like Sunderland and he would struggle to score as opposed to say Rooney, Drogba, Torres, Van Persie, who would still score freely.

You don't know that, it's purely hypothetical. We can only judge him on what he's done for his team and in that regard he has had an excellent first full season, playing most of the matches as a lone striker which increases the burden on him to score, and until lately he's managed to do that.

Everyone's just jumping on the bandwagon now he's hit a rocky patch. He'll be back firing again soon, just watch.

I didnt say it was fact, its my opinion.

And I was saying it before his current slump, which is nothing anyway just a handful of games.

Well let me just say that as Spurs fans, we've seen first hand on three separate occasions this season how devastating he can be.

But we'll agree to disagree - I rate him but you don't.
