As I sat down to write something on the blog two hours ago, my thoughts immediately went to John Hartson, wondering how come many preferred to talk about Adebayor and his possible Manchester City future.

And I just couldn’t help asking myself where all this Adebayor hatred is coming from. Last week, both Arsene Wenger and Adebayor’s agent – Stephane Courbis – said the player will stay at Arsenal. Now as I said last week, even interviews are to be taken with a pinch of salt during the summer but as far as I know, these two sounded genuine.

So yesterday, when rumours about a possible move to City circulated around, I was surprised how on earth transfer rumours got the upper hand over two interviews in which our boss and his agent said the player will not leave the Arsenal.

Seriously, I’m ashamed to call myself an Arsenal fan after all the hatred against Adebayor I read yesterday, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he leaves as I would never want to stay in a place where I feel unwanted.

I mean come on, whether you like it or not, he still is an Arsenal player and as I said a week or so ago, I hope he stays because with the 2010 World Cup around the corner, he will want to rediscover the form of two years ago so as to take it to Africa.

I understand when a player is criticised when the season is underway for not performing, for not trying, but the season is over. How can you know for sure next season Emmanuel will be as uninterested as he was last season?

And then, you want him to be sold? Ok, but to bring in who? What makes you think a new signing will fit straight away alongside Robin and/or Bendtner? Believe me, Adebayor was NOT the only player who didn’t deliver last season, so the treatment he’s receiving is an absolute disgrace.
