As no one has yet refuted any of the reports, lets assume that City has put a bid in for Adebayor, the reported £20m offer could well rise to £25m if Arsenal haggle a bit. Then the question becomes, will Adebayor move to City? If I know Adebayor, and I think we all do, I think he would bite Mark Hughes’ hand off to play for the reported £130,000 a week as well as a chance to play Europa League football till the end of time. He also seems to be one of those types who would take a gargantuan pay increase then come out with one of those  “I feel that City are on the verge of something big here, and I wanted to be a part of it.” statements. Sure they are. Granted with Tevez, Robinho, Santa Cruz and Adebayor they would have a terrific strike corps, but no one has ever won while playing four strikers with a crap defense. I do get a hunch that Robinho and Ade would get along, though.
