Milan are Bootylicious
The Arsenal striker was linked with both the Italian
giants and Barcelona, before finally penning a new deal at the
Emirates. But while he is happy to remain in North London, the
25-year-old admits his head was turned briefly.
He told ESPN: "I am happy playing for this club and to
be honest I am happy AC Milan, one of the legendary clubs in the
world, were looking at me.
"For me that must be something special. It is like a
boy being told Beyonce is looking for them. "They told me Milan
were looking for me. I am quite happy with that but the most
important thing is playing for Arsenal.
"I am very happy here so there is no reason for me
moving." Looking ahead to Wednesday's big Champions League clash,
Adebayor revealed a cunning plan to beat Manchester United — starve
them of possession.
Arsene Wenger's men come up against the trophy holders
at Old Trafford in the first leg of the semi-final. And while he
has a healthy respect for the likes of Wayne Rooney and PFA Player
of the Year Ryan Giggs, Adebayor believes his team-mates know how
to stop them.
He added: "We like to play our own football with the
ball on the ground and pass it around. "As soon as you keep the
ball from Manchester United they have a problem.
"Every single time you play against them they want to
take control of the game — if they are in possession more, then you
are dead.
"We have to take the control of the ball because
players like Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Giggs can't make a
difference if they don't have possession. "If their team control
the game, you can easily concede four, five, six even seven if you
want."
Irreplaceable? Beyonce might not think the Arsenal
striker is.
