Spend it well: New City signing Adebayor's parting shot at Arsenal
Emmanuel Adebayor claims Arsene Wenger was forced into selling him because Arsenal needed the cash.
In a parting shot at the club and their fans after his £25million move to super-richManchester City, the unpopular striker insists he was the victim and not the agitator in the deal.
With clouds of doubt gathering over the Emirates after another quiet summer in the transfer market, Adebayor's advice to Wenger to 'spend the money well' will impress few of the club's fans.
But after the Arsenal faithful turned against him last season and then cheered his departure, the Togo forward has hit back.
Adebayor said: 'I came back from holiday and in my first training session they told me that they had accepted an offer for me.
'I asked Wenger why he wanted to sell me. I found out that Arsenal needed the money and that I was the target. I never wanted to leave. I'm happy they get their money and I hope they spend it well.
'I scored 30 goals for Arsenal two seasons ago and it was not my fault that AC Milan, Barcelona or Real Madrid wanted to buy me.
'The way the fans turned against me was not nice. They didn't turn on Cesc Fabregas when Barcelona showed interest in him. When a player plays well clubs come in for him. The fans never
understood that and I cannot understand why they went after me. I played my heart out for that club and gave it my best and the way the fans behaved towards me was not nice at all.
'I was in the same position as Cesc. Every summer Barcelona tried to sign him, but the fans never turned on him.'
