![[Picture] Is This The Reason RVP Doesn’t Want To Join Man City?](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E)
Adebayor shows his former striker partner the respect he deserves
With the race for Robin Van Persie now seemingly a one horse one, many pundits have been wondering just why megabucks Manchester City, the club first linked with the Dutchman are seemingly no longer contenders for his signature.
Some have put it down to City’s Brian Marwood dragging his heels with the deal, while others have claimed it’s more to do with the Premier League Champions needing to cut their wage bill. The answer may lie in Van Persie’s former teammate Emmanuel Adebayor. The above picture is taken from a Premier League clash at Eastlands back in 2009 where Adebayor stamped on his former colleague’s face, in a vicious unprovoked attack which resulted in a four match ban once the footage was examined by the FA.
The attack left RVP sporting a bloody face.
The Dutchman was lucky not to have his eye damaged
Following the incident Van Persie issued a statement where he noted:
“He [Adebayor] set out to hurt me. I do feel lucky that I have not received a greater injury. I knew he was aiming for a collision because he changed the angle of his body to allow contact to be made.
“The contact was only centimetres from my eye. I have not received an apology from him, there were no words exchanged afterwards. He had his own agenda today and that is bad for football. It’s bad for the game we all love.
“I, too, have made hard and sometimes mistimed challenges but never with the intention of hurting an opponent.
“He has shown a real lack of class, to me and the fans. We do not hide from the disappointment of losing the match but I need to speak out about his behaviour.”
Adebayor’s proposed move to Spurs has fallen through due to strikers wage demands and you have to wonder whether Van Persie thought the idea of sharing a dressing room with him, was something he just couldn’t entertain. Just a thought……
What a stupid article written by a dumb manc twat
what a stupid reply written by a sad, about to lose his pin up cockney TWAT
what a sad reply written by a stupid gooner!!!!!
haha yes a total dribbling northern bell-end
We don’t even need RVP but we’ll have him off you because we can you fucking has-been gooner losers
You seem to talk about City more than you do United!
Truth is, there are several reasons why he won’t be joining City…
1) They already have FOUR top strikers, we have ONE. He’ll be our best player (alongside Rooney), he’d just be a squad player at Eastlands.
2) We’re willing to make him the joint highest-paid player in the history of English football (alongside Rooney on an alleged £225k per week). City have apparently decided they won’t be offering more than £150k per week.
3) Most importantly, City (and Juventus) have already publically ended their interest.
Now…can we get back to talking about the club we support instead of our main rivals, please?
“They have FOUR top strikers we have ONE”? Behave son, and the idea that RVP would be a squad player is laughable- you’re obviously a Bertie.
Btw City ended their interest when it became obvious RVP wasn’t going to go there, now back to your own sites you silly twat.
Bertie Magoo strikes again… Fucking sad twats spilling shit as ever
Arnt cockneys bitter, arrogant and complete deluded tits lol

This message board has to contain the ugliest gang of trolls ever to grave the internet.
….and thank christ we don’t live in that fuckin dump manchester. however bad things get for us football-wise, at least we still live in one in one of the top 3 cities on the planet. oh hang on a minute, you didn’t win anything last season did you, AND you live in a dump hahaha…
Aww aren’t we bitter…. Has somebody put sand in your vasoline?
Top 3 cities on the planet hahahaha don’t
Make me laugh London is a dive. Full of cocks that are up there that think there I can name ova 20 cities that are nicer and better so don’t give me that shit coz every fucker out of London thinks it a dump. Top 3 that’s y 12 year old girls are gettin murdered off there grandparents int it u deluded cunt
Last time i counted we definitely have more than one striker.
dam straight, in fairness, with suspensions and golfing trips Tevez and Bollotelli would struggle to complete a season between them. Aguero is world class in fairness, but RVP wouldn’t be a squad player anywhere in the world, simple.
Y’all are hyst silly retards mehn.. Go nd get a life. Van persie is surely comming to UTD. He was obviously reluctant 2 play against koln :p
lol how can a filth fan call anybody “bitter, arrogantand complete deluded tits” ….unbelievable from fans that have proved thats what they are for years
How are we bitter or deluded stats don’t lie united are top dogs even without the league title last year where have us cum in the last 5 years !!!!!!!!!!!!
Going by London Gooner there is a higher standard of education down Sarf !
Arsenal to sign kat moon she always scores the cockney trollop!!!
@both of u, I wish u could listen to what you say and feel how horrible it sounds…… saying Rafael is unreliable as u make it sound will even make me think 2ice if u say usain bolt is fast… cos your statement will never be reliable…… and to SAF family doctor sounds like you know better than anyone…… like u actually personally warn SAF not to travel 2ru air…… and one of you guys had an exclusive interview with SAF where he says Rafael argues alot with teammates… how many a time has Rio argued on pitch…….. good to think with ur head sometimes and not what ur heart wished
Yeah and the the dirty pikey man USA are signing rab c nesbitt to try and woo Rooney as he loves old trollops and old whisky nose has put in a bid for a few of the shamless cast hahaha Rooney asked to leave when he heard nani wasn’t an old trollop he had been duped!
Well, the Berties have won more silver ware. I don’t give a dam. At least it was funny when we put our banner up! We showed to the world what we won! We are The History Boys.winning trophies is not as important as our past! Go go go mufc!
