    From his own words I don't think it was all talk. Especially after the season in which he bagged 30 goals I'm not convinced it was all about getting a bigger contract. His ego was out of control and he wanted to join a "bigger club" in his own words. When that didn't happen he sulked on the pitch and got booed by the fans.

    The article that you linked to was after the horse had bolted. There was no going back after that summer when he pushed for a move and angered the fans. You can't use the article you linked to as a catalyst for the problems and to support your opinion when it started way before those events.

    It's a classic case of damage limitation from Adebayor. How convenient that the story is now that Arsenal would not be able to pay him anymore so they told him it was better to leave, thus transferring all the blame and all the damage that he has caused back to the club. Very convenient.

    so you want me to post the article where he said he was committed to arsenal right before he came out to say something different?

    Just when Arsenal fans thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, star striker Emmanuel Adebayor has confessed to a Sky Sports News reporter that is still not certain he will be at the Emirates next year - this just minutes after his loyalty pledge at a press conference this afternoon.

    "Of course (I am staying) I have three more years," was the gist of what the Togo goal-getter had to say in front of the wider media, but his tone was far less reassuring for supporters of the London club when one-on-one with a Sky journo

    "I am footballer, I have a three-year contract at Arsenal but as you know, a lot of clubs are interested in me," he told Sky Sports News.

    "At the moment we are just going to sit down and talk and decide what to do.

    "Nothing has been decided yet. We will decide next week."

    Arsenal are yet to make a comment since Adebayor's press conference, presumably because they are preparing themselves for a final full-on assault from AC Milan and Barcelona.

    ‘Arsene was very cautious and David was very ambitious for the club,’ said former director Keith Edelman, managing director at the time. ‘He was very good at getting Arsene into a position where he was comfortable spending money.’

    The board have said if wenger identifies a player he really wants and he needs the money it's there. Wenger doesn't think it's worth it!

    At least argue about an important player, like Denilson.
