Adebayor’s strange childhood; My weird dream
2 comments January 21st, 2008
Good Morning.
Let’s start with the bizarre yet undeniably entertaining image of Emmanuel Adebayor jumping up to head a football suspended from his mum’s Togolese ceiling. The headed goals at Fulham, Spurs, and Villa in particular are testament to Ade’s increasing aerial prowess.
Arsene has compared Rosicky and Hleb to Ljungberg and Pires. A year ago that would’ve been blasphemous, but now the wide pair are finally starting to fulfill that potential. If they could score 15-20 goals between them every year, it’d be a massive bonus. They’re already into double figures as a pair, so that target should be achievable.
The manager has also suggested he may be tempted to throw a couple of senior pros in with the kids for tomorrow’s Carling Cup game with Spurs. I think Bacary Sagna and William Gallas are those most likely to be drafted in, whilst I’d also expect Eduardo to play despite playing a full ninety minutes on Saturday.
Last night I dreamt I had lunch with Arsene. It was all very casual, very relaxed. It made me think about the weird relationship we as Arsenal fans have with him. Despite having never met him, I feel I know him well enough that in my dream, we conversed across that meal like two old friends.
When he goes, it’ll be a very sad day.
