such an awesome professional.So so ignorant.
Mahamadou Diarra sold to AS Monaco for 1.5 million euros. Thanks Momo. You have been the loyal player and a fierce competitor, never moaned about anything or anyone. I'm sad to see you go. Good luck
I can't remember how many people I have seen and met who were expressing the same or similar views about Van Nistelrooy coming to Madrid in 2006. Many people said he is slow, he has just shown lack of professionalism and will to fight for his spot in MU by arguing with Ronaldo, many people said he is past it and it will take him long-ass period of time to adapt to spanish style of play and what happened ? He got a Pichichi in his first season.
I know it's not the same case and there is a huge difference in quality, but some statements I read around here are so unfair and generalising Adebayor like he was a piece of junk (dare to quote: "Panic buy") and has no chance of succeeding in Madrid.
You don't take into account the possibility of Adebayor changing his ways in terms of motivation and behaviour under Mourinho which in my opinion is very disregarding approach.
The guy has faced some tricky questions during conference e.g. possible partnership in attacking formation with Benzema (it was a provoking kind of question) and answered all of them with professionalism.
I think it's not right to get all happy/all upset (in Gio's case) about the transfer until the player actually plays a game in the completely new environment.
