September 17: Ade's Lifeline


It really is amazing. How you give a player 12 months and he is transformed from zero to hero. And Emmanuel Adebayor is the perfect example. He started brightly with a debut goal but throughout the whole of last season, Ade looked clumsy, weak, slow and a rubbish finisher. He was almost hated by the fans and they simply wanted him out. But on Sunday September 17 2006, he wrote his name in the record books; by scoring a late winner at Old Trafford against fierce rivals, Manchester United. And since then, Emmanuel has never looked back.
He then started to find his shooting boots and won over the Arsenal faithful with his tremendous workrate. When Ade came to England, he was dubbed 'The New Kanu'. But the Togo Striker has proved he is already much better than his idol, Kanu, by giving us some outstanding displays. Recently we have seen Ade have so many attributes that are bound to make him a hit in the next few years. Comparisons have been made with Chelsea's Didier Drogba and they are quite accurate. Ade has now shown us that he has great physical strength, decent pace and add to that his unbelievable workrate and his ability in the air and you've got one hell of a player. If he can score a few more goals, then he will be huge and he will be; his finishing has improved massively over the last 6 months. So a message to all Premiership clubs:
Watch out! Ade's About! And we are coming to win the title next year - UP THE GUNNERS!
