The difference between Henry and Adebayor is clear 24 July, 2009

I’m sorry I’ve been a bit quiet this week. I’ve just been really busy, odd hours at work, people to meet and a house to clean ready to move into my new one. I’ve barely got the time to write this to be honest but I thought I’d better seeing as I don’t think I’ll get a chance tomorrow.
I just want to quickly talk to you about Adebayor and Thierry Henry. Both strikers have been talking about their former clubs recently and the difference between them has been quite clearly shown.
Both players are thought of in two very different lights today by Gooners. Both have gone on to new challenges with our blessing but that’s about the only comparison.
Thierry Henry is an Arsenal legend. We all agree, he was one of the best players the world never mind just Arsenal has ever seen and he had an attitude towards the club we really appreciated. He still loves Arsenal, and we still love him. Things might not have gone 100% right but it doesn’t matter.
He’s been talking this week about how he hopes we can win the league and believes we can do it despite whoever we’ve lost. Also, he says keeping Cesc Fabregas is ‘vital’ to us. A lot of players have been known to publically tell ex-team mates to come join them at new clubs but Titi’s not like that. He knows keeping Cesc is in our best interests and it’s in his interests too. He’s not a cunt.
Adebayor, he’s a cunt though. I never thought I’d be bitter about Ade leaving, just ‘meh’ but after these quotes I just think he’s a bit of a knob. Firstly he has tried comparing himself to Cesc asking why fans didn’t turn on him when Barcelona was interested in him because he reckons it’s exactly the same situation as his. No it fucking isn’t, you deluded prat. Barcelona want Cesc, that’s fair enough – but he denies it every time there’s a rumour about him leaving and commits to Arsenal once again. Do you, Adebayor? No, what you do is flirt outrageously and try get in with all the big spenders in the world.
The worst part though was last summer when Adebayor was giving a press conference for Adidas or something and was asked by the media about all the Milan rumours. He committed himself to Arsenal, he rejected it all and it was all wonderful. I remember the day well; I heard the news and tuned in to Sky Sports News to watch. Then I saw him live, after the official press conference talk to the media back stage saying yeah basically he was looking for a move, he wanted more money and didn’t think Arsenal appreciated him – completely contradicting everything he just said. Then he has the cheek to try and tell us he never tried to construct a move away and ‘can’t help other clubs being interested in him’. That is why you got booed and that is why you can’t compare yourself to Cesc Fabregas.
He’s also been talking about how he hasn’t joined Man City for the money but Arsenal sold him because we needed the cash. He says that is was all Wenger’s decision to sell him to Man City and he did not tell him why. I’ll give you one reason: Because nobody else wanted you or was stupid enough to pay all that money for you. He also reckons Man City will beat Arsenal to the top four next season and is there to get in the Champions League. They sure are going to give us a run for our money but I pray that we finish above them next season.
I think that’s all I’ve really got to say on that. Adebayor can go on and on about whatever he likes but at the end of the day I don’t really care. I know what I’ve heard him say and that’s that. It funny though because he genuinely believes that he’s done nothing wrong. Ah well.
Fiorentina’s president Andrea Della Valle has told us he is still interested in Eboue. At one point it looked like he was going to be part of a swap deal for Melo but they still could try and bring him to Florence. It’s early days on this story but it could develop; we’ve got a lot of wingers now and with Eboue’s best mate in Ade gone, a move away from Arsenal isn’t too far fetched.
Djourou thinks this could be his breakthrough season and believes he is ready to step up. He knows he is young and he knows the competition for a place will be tough but he believes in himself and I like that. So far this pre-season he’s been partnered with Vermaelen a couple of times, we’ll have to see how it continues but it could end up being a partnership for the new season. I think Johan will certainly get more games this year but whether he can fight off the competition we’ll have to wait and find out.
There are some more pictures from the Austria camp. It’s mainly players being held with long bits of elastic as they try to run away. It’s either an interesting training exercise or a new technique to try stop players leaving the club. Either way I like it.
And finally Rene Steer has joined Olham after a successful trial. It didn’t work out for him at Arsenal but I hope things go well for him in the future.
Right I really better go, turned into a much longer post than I had time for. Shit it’s half 10, still got loads to do tonight. See ya.
It just shows you the difference in class between Henry and Ade. Henry will always be in Arsenals heart and Arsenal will always be in his. I think Ade could have become a cult hero at Arsenal, nobody was serenaded in the stands as much as him with his 30 goal haul but it wasn’t enough for him and he got greedy and started thinking he was better than he was and a new side of him came out which was selfish. Like many other players who have thought that they are bigger than the club, he’ll look back and regret what could have been, wheras Henry will always look back with love.
To add on to the Ade comments; Ade was a player who despised the arsenal fans and was too egoistic. look at how he celebrated his goals. Further, when the AC Milan deal collapsed and fans went for his jagular, instead of attempting to win them over with good play (like Ebue did), he spent the whole season lazying around the field and being on the off-side every other momment. He wasted all the important opportunities and was not committed to the club’s course. Good riddance. One of the youngsters will fill up the gap. We still have Vela, Eduardo, RVP, Bendtner and Arshavin.
Can’t wait for the cunt fuck to return till The Grove, Cashley number 2
WTF? Henry and Greedybayor.Its blasphemous to mention their names together in the same article.Henry is a legend.Greedybayor is errmmmm……wha?
exactly, A greedybayor must not be compared with legend Henry.
i 100% believe Agreedybayor scored 30 goal last season not for his quality its because the way Arsenal play and creat clear chances for any striker.
Ade you are a lucky boy, arsenal fans had made you to become a hero. Ade you are not a greed man but you are trying to become somebody in life. Every being are aspiring to live a comfortable life.Do your best and leave the rest.
Ade..! just shut up..
good riddance Ade you greedy little muppet i love arsenal and would pay them to play. Back to the real world i was offered more money to work for another company but declined the offer. Why…….LOYALTY. You will proably regret leaving arsenal anyway,to be honest most do.Lets face it you were a 1 goal in 20 games man at Monaco. Proof that Arsenal can polish a turd.
If Vermaelen and Djourou is gonna partner each other in defense ,Vermaelen better learn how to do two mens job.
support the players in the team. HATE ADEBAYOR.
if you think of how peter andre is feeling now, how sir paul mcartney must have felt at the end, the feeling when it dawns on you that the woman you thought was your soul mate once is not exactly what she appeared to be. thats ade for you, a leopard in sheep’s skin, just like cashley cole.
henry is 100 times the footballer adebayor is! and as for his 30 goal season, he had literally about 100 goalscoring chances and he fucked up on 70 of them. and hes now comparing himself to henry and fabregas! was he dropped on his head as a baby! wot a stupid cunt! btw this season he will fail miserably. mark my words. he wont get half as many chances on goal at man city and he has to compete wiv robinho tevez nd santa cruz. he is not clinical enough and his inconscistency will drag him down! goodbye adebay’whore’ and thanks for the 25 mil man city. im just a bit gutted that we didnt get lorik cana i think he is the kind of player we need. rrr well never mind
Arsenal will REALLY miss Ade this season. He’s one of the best attackers in the European game. Arsenal couldn’t afford to buy him back. The deluded boo boys have done the Gunners a huge disfavour. Expect he’ll outscore ANY Arsenal player in the coming season as Citeh go on to replace us in the top four.
Don’t keep deluding yourselves , guys by pouring all sorts of crap on a super athlete. He’s bigger than any of you will ever be. Achieved more than you’ll ever achieve, even if he hangs his boots up now. Hurts does it?
henry is a cult hero… ade is a cunt zero… enof said
Henry is special, do not compare him with adebayor! adebayor you were born alone, so go to mancity alone, leave our kolo toure.Clubs exist because of Fans, never do what is agnainst their will.
remember when walcott asst him when we play against milan? ade just dance himself but hleb n fab come to walcott? i tought if henry at ade place… henry will celebrate n appriciated walcott…
Hero n Zero in the same article?? The training bit is exactly wat I had been waiting to see. This method works on a lot of aspects of the game. Firstly it brings strength to the body. It increases stamina. But one thing to be taken care of is that the elastic should be tied around the chest. Thus it increases the upper body strength and hence the pace. I’ve seen a commercial in which rooney’s doing it. Wonder if walcott could some day be as strong as him.
Adebugger missed more chances in his 30 goal season than Thierry in his lifetime。True，he scored some great goals on occasions thanks to great feeding from Cesc，Theo，Robin。
He admitted openely that he was in it for his retirement package and
was lucky enough to play football.
He has succeeded to anger those around him wherever he goes and will continue to do so.
Welcome to a new growing club of arrogant greedy trash in football which includes: Cashley, Bentley,Hleb,Barry,Terry,Tevez,Ronaldo,Blatter,Platini etc.
You ALL disgust us!!!
There was a time when a players actions were punished for “bringing disripute” to the game.Nowadays disripute （PUTA in Spanish）is the name of the “game”。
There
This outrage from Ade is unacceptable he is a disgrace to the african nations!
I don know why pple forget earlier!!!!!!!!!ma fellow african guy had disappointed me completely to be in such a greedy action n at the same time compare to the only n only the last legend we have so far!!!!!!!!!.Ade the greedy ,would have appreciated the work done by his master wenger but not trying to convince Toure to join the greedy ones.If it was not the proffesor who would have known you ade.
good time gooners
Adebooyor is way below Henry in terms of class and attitude. Adebooyor is a greedy brat and his presence is a disgrace to Emirates stadium and Arsenal. Henry is a legend, Adebooyor, haahha you are a disgrace.
Aidsebayor’s half-hearted (I’m being generous) performances were a real slap in the face to the Arsenal fans
Adebayor never got the support or recognition that he deserved. Sure he made a few mistakes but he like Eboue and Bendtner did not deserve the treatment he got throughout the last couple of seasons.
i saw this guy after derby county game last year…he was a disgust to the young gooners as he approached to the bus from the stadium, he turned his back and didnt even give his autograph where the rest of the squad was busy doing so..instead this fucker turned to the supporters and started yelling, he was a disgrace to this club that we love…we dont need moneybayo…cant even come closer to Titi in the history of arsenal.
adebayor is the worst striker at arsenal FACT.
look at the goals per minute ratio…bendtner is above him and at least that malco fucker gives his all.
he can fuck off and be stuck on the bench shoving £50 notes up his arse. exactly the same as Roque santa cruz….one good season and Man City snap him up for £25m!?! good riddance to adebayor….just hoope we replace him with a top class winger and move either walcott or arshavin up front….
ADEBAYOR!!! his dad sucks off elephants and his mums a whore!!
ADEBARNDOOR!!! spends more time on the floor!!! cos his mums a whore!! did i mention shes a whore…?
Honestly i never really cared for him.. he gave us one good season and then started to act like he was God’s gift to us… I agree that Bendtner has a better ratio and i hope now he takes on the challenge of being the “target man” up front. My prediction for Adebayor is that he is going to score about 10 goals this season and he’s going to be mysteriously injured before the game in the Grove…
