Adebayor completes switch to City.

Manchester City have completed the signing of striker Emmanuel Adebayor from Arsenal for a reported fee of £25million on a five-year contract.

The 25-year-old Togo international has joined the Blues from Arsenal after passing his medical at Eastlands on Saturday evening.

The striker becomes the latest big-money addition to Mark Hughes' squad this summer following the captures of Gareth Barry, Carlos Tevez and Roque Santa Cruz.

Several hundred City fans were at the stadium on Saturday evening to welcome Adebayor, who hopes to help the ambitious club move forward.

"It made me feel really welcome and special and I can't wait to play for City's fans and show them what I can do," said Adebayor, who, as at Arsenal, will wear the number 25 shirt.

"I was born to play football and that is what I want to do. I have come here to make history for this club and those supporters.

"It is what the chairman and the manager told me that they want too and I can't wait to get started."

Hughes, meanwhile, has hailed the capture of the striker, who was signed by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger for £3million from Monaco in 2006.

"Emmanuel has been one of the top forwards in the Premier League since he arrived from France and we are delighted he has agreed to come and join us," the Welshman told the club's official website.

"Along with the other signings we have made in the last two windows he will greatly enhance our ability to compete with the top sides.

"His arrival is another clear indication that we are determined to augment the players we have here with the best of international talent.

"He adds vital balance and power to our attack. He has everything a top forward needs. He is versatile, powerful, quick and agile on the ball.

"I am looking forward to working with him as are the rest of the staff. He will definitely add a new dimension to our play. I have been a great admirer for a long time."

Adebayor's first task will be to fly out to join his new team-mates in South Africa, where their pre-season tour began with a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Orlando Pirates earlier on Saturday.

Ade absent as Gunners draw at Bees.

Emmanuel Adebayor was missing as Arsenal were held to a 2-2 draw by Barnet in Saturday's traditional pre-season friendly at Underhill.

The Gunners are reported to have accepted a £25million offer for Adebayor from Manchester City, who are discussing personal terms with the Togo striker.

In his absence impressive academy product Sanchez Watt formed a first-half strike partnership alongside Andrey Arshavin in a starting line-up that blended youth and experience.

Tomas Rosicky made his first appearance since January 2008 following his recovery from serious hamstring and knee injuries.

The Czech Republic winger, who joined Arsenal in May 2006, floated across midfield and understandably looked off the pace, although he occasionally showed some neat touches.

New £10million signing from Ajax Thomas Vermaelen made his club debut and was the only player to feature in both halves with Arsene Wenger making 10 changes at the interval.

Cesc Fabregas, Theo Walcott, Robin van Persie and Kolo Toure were among the senior players absent for the Gunners.

Rosicky and Arshavin gave a tantalising glimpse of what could be in store next season as they combined cleverly to create a chance for Watt, who was denied by a smart save from Will Viner.
Barnet looked to capitalise on some lacklustre pre-season defending by Arsenal but were carved open themselves in the 44th minute when Watt picked out Arshavin with a pinpoint cross that the Russian buried.

The lead lasted only a minute, however, as Ismail Yakubu met Danny Hart's free-kick with an athletic glancing header that evaded Manuel Almunia on its way into the top right corner.

Individual brilliance by Dutchman Nacer Barazite restored Arsenal's lead shortly into the second half as he weaved his way to the edge of the area where he chipped the ball home.

Wenger had emptied his bench and this took its toll on Arsenal who looked far less menacing than in the first half.

Hart forced a robust save from Vito Mannone from long distance and then Vermaelen came to the rescue as Arsenal's defence began creaking.

It eventually cracked with eight minutes to go, Elliott Charles capitalising on the ongoing confusion to stab home from close range to earn Barnet a deserved draw.

AW in no rush to replace Adebayor.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits he has no plans to replace Emmanuel Adebayor after agreeing to sell the Gunners striker to Manchester City.

Adebayor has spent the day at Eastlands discussing personal terms and the transfer, reported to be worth £25million, is in on the brink of completion.

Wenger claims the money raised by Adebayor's sale is his to invest but while he is keeping an eye on Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh, he is no hurry to spend.

Instead, he will rely on his current attacking options which have been boosted but the return of Tomas Rosicky and Eduardo from injury.

"We're not on the verge of signing anybody but I'm able to spend the money if we find the right players," he said,

"We're not in a hurry because we have a big squad. We'll see in pre-season if we need to make any additions.

"If we need to add something we will. Chamakh is one of the players we've followed and if we need to go for a striker he's a possibility. We're keeping an eye on him.

"We have Rosicky and Eduardo back so we've lost a big striker but have gained two offensive players who were absent last season.

"We also have Nicklas Bendtner, Andrey Arshavin, Robin van Persie and Theo Walcott who can play striker. We have top players we can use as strikers."

Adebayor's departure will not be mourned by Arsenal fans who tired of his attempt to engineer a move abroad last summer before signing a new contract.

Supporters questioned his commitment throughout last season and his sale represents good business with Arsenal set to make an £18million profit on a player they signed from Monaco for £7million in 2006.

Wenger understands Adebayor's desire to leave the Emirates and admitted he was joining a growing force in the Barclays Premier League.

"We'll miss him - he's a great player. I'm sure he'll give something special to Man City," he said.
"I don't believe that last season he got enough support and I think that played a part in his mind.
"There was a bit of resentment you could feel through last summer. I believe he wanted to do well but didn't have the confidence of the year before.

"If you consider the money we paid for him it was good business, but that was not our main target.

"It's a good opportunity for him because City could be a big force in the coming years.
"Carlos Tevez, Robinho and Gareth Barry have done it. Man City will be a threat to the top teams."

Arsenal were held to a 2-2 draw by Barnet in Saturday's traditional pre-season curtain-raiser with Rosicky making his first appearance since January 2008.

Huntelaar VS Chamakh.

If Adebayor signs for Man City for £25 million, Arsenal will buy a striker.
And Ade should sign for City because nobody else wants him. He is finished at Arsenal. He must have realised that by now.The fans want him to go and the manager is very keen to sell him.

In recent days Gooners have been asking :

Is Huntelaar a better bet than Chamakh ?

For me, Chamakh plays in avenues like Overmars, Anelka and Henry.
When Arsenal were dynamic, when Vieira and Petit won the ball early, when Bergkamp saw openings two seconds before anybody else, Arsenal could explode down avenues and kill teams with pace.

Huntelaar is not like Anelka or Henry or Chamakh. He is a completely different animal.
He is a box player you aim balls at.

If Fabregas, Nasri, Sagna and Arshavin crossed to him and passed to him, Huntelaar could score from five yards, eight yards, ten yards, with an occasional 20-yarder rifled into the bottom corner.

I've followed his career since he was at Herenveen, where he scored 33 goals in 46 league games, and know a little bit about him. I've always wondered if he was right for Arsenal. Since Arsenal have changed a lot, I wonder if he is right for this Arsenal. I wonder if he could partner Bendtner.

I wonder, particularly, if Huntelaar could be like Shearer

and Bendtner could be like Sheringham.

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, 26 next month, has turned down Stuttgart, we read.
Despite that, I'm only gonna say three things about a guy who joined Real Madrid for 20 million euros in January 2009.

First, coming from a disappointment at Madrid, Huntelaar, would probably thrive at Arsenal in the same way that Bergkamp did after leaving Inter. In a World Cup season he wants regular football. He needs to be in the team every week.

Like Overmars, Huntelaar would have a fellow Dutchman around to help him settle in. He already knows RVP and has trained and played with him.

Secondly, Huntelaar is made for Arshavin.

He can score from crosses. He can volley goals, head goals, or hook shots in like Ruud van Nastelroy did for PSV and Man United. He can time his runs too, so he is made for Fabregas, although he doesn't have explosive pace. If Huntelaar had explosive pace he would cost £27m, not £17m.

Thirdly, I can't guarantee that a centre foward who was a goal-machine at Herenveen and a goal-machine at Ajax would be a goal-machine for Arsenal.
But I CAN guarantee that Huntelaar will not be called up in January for the African Cup Of Nations.

Chamakh will be called up by Morocco.Essien and Mikel will be wanted by Ghana and Nigeria.Drogba, Toure and Eboue will be called up by Ivory Coast.Cameroon will need Song.The last time I looked, Holland was not in Africa.

History of Arsenal F.C. (1886–1966).

Arsenal squad of 1888

The history of Arsenal Football Club between 1886 and 1966 covers their time from the club's foundation, through the first two major periods of success (the 1930s, and the late 1940s and early 1950s, respectively) and the club's subsequent decline to mid-table status in the 1960s.

Arsenal Football Club were founded in 1886 as a workers' team from Woolwich, South East London. They turned professional in 1891 and joined the Football League two years later. They were promoted to the First Division in 1904 but financial problems meant they were close to bankruptcy by 1910. They were bought out by Sir Henry Norris that year and to improve the club's financial standing, he moved the team to Arsenal Stadium, Highbury, North London in 1913. After World War I he arranged for the club's promotion back to the First Division, in controversial circumstances.

It was not until the appointment of Herbert Chapman that Arsenal had their first period of major success; Chapman modernised and reformed the club's practices and tactics, and under him and his successor George Allison (who took over after Chapman's death in 1934), Arsenal won five First Division titles and two FA Cups in the 1930s. After the Second World War, Tom Whittaker continued the success, leading the club to two First Division titles and an FA Cup.

However after Whittaker's death Arsenal's fortunes gradually declined; by 1966, they were in mid-table obscurity and had not won a trophy in thirteen years. This led to the dismissal of Billy Wright as manager in 1966, and with it the appointment of Bertie Mee, who would go on to turn around the club's fortunes.
