Manchester City ace Emmanuel Adebayor has launched an amazing attack on his former Arsenal fans.
The Togo player, who left the Emirates Stadium under a cloud this summer, hit out at the London club’s supporters last night.
“Arsenal have a lot of fans who are not fans,” he told The Times. “What is good is that the City fans truly love you.
“Arsenal have fans from America and Jamaica. Today they are Arsenal fans, tomorrow they will be Liverpool fans and after tomorrow they will be Manchester United fans.”
In a direct reference to the breakdown in relations between him and the Arsenal fans towards the end of last season, the striker added: “If you boo your player every weekend, I am very sorry, you are not true fans.”
He also remarked: “Arsenal forced me out.
“I told Arsène [Wenger, the Arsenal manager], ‘No matter what you do, I will not leave the club.’ Arsène told me, ‘You have to leave because financially we are very bad.’ That makes it more painful. Arsène knows I didn’t leave for money. Enjoying my football is more important to me than money.”
