Portsmouth in trouble as Al Fahim takeover bid is probed
Arsene Wenger believes Arsenal fans' resentment over Emmanuel Adebayor's dalliance with AC Milan and Barcelona last summer drove the Togo striker to join Manchester City.
Wenger, who admits Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh is one of the candidates to replace Adebayor, said: 'We have lost a great player and we wish him well. He's done extremely well for the club. I don't believe that last season he got enough support. That was playing a part in my mind and in his mind, certainly, as well.
'I believe he wanted to do well but he didn't find the confidence he had the season before. There was a little resentment you could feel through last summer.
'Believe me, he's a great player and he'll show that again at Manchester City.
'Big clubs lose big players. Milan have lost Kaka and Milan will go on. Arsenal have always lost players and continued at the top level.'
