Manchester City's struggle with disenchanted strikers deepened last night with Emmanuel Adebayor effectively on strike and Corinthians tabling a baffling €40m (£35.3m) bid for Carlos Tevez.
Adebayor is likely to be fined at least two weeks wages – £330,000 in total – and may be in breach of contract, after failing to show at Carrington both yesterday and for a scheduled training session on Saturday. The player claims he is considering bringing a constructive dismissal claim, having heard of his omission from the United States tour from a secretary, but City will not release him on the cheap because they know that a Uefa exemption prevents his wages being counted when Financial Fair Play calculations are made.
While the club grappled with the Adebayor problem, the prospect of a deepening struggle with Tevez loomed after the improbable Corinthians bid – faxed last night – which even the club's director of football, Duilio Monteiro Alves, suggested should not raise the hopes of the Brazilian club's fans. "I don't want to get our fans' hopes up. We'll try... that's all I can say," he said. "[Signing Tevez] isn't impossible. It's a dream we're trying to realise."

...and there were people defending his character and saying it was Gooners' fault he left us?

Nobody could have predicted this.

This will happen to a lot of these mercenary types tbf, same is going on with Tevez and Boateng at the moment, they leave their clubs and go to City/Chelsea and now PSG for ridiculous wages and then when they have to move on no one wants them as their wages are too high

And Ade is on some £150k a week there as well

[Boss]

Quite impressive how Wenger got 25M for that scrote.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Yep, Wenger played that perfectly.

Vinegar should put a cheeky 5.5mil bid for The Whore, worth it IMO.

ok, let's get something straight -- the guy was signed as a first team striker; his wages reflect that!

so if he wants to strike if the club are being ass-holes he has every right to.

In fact, this proves, contrary to the crass opinion of him here that he is a mercenary, that he actually gives a fuc*k about being taken seriously for his football.
