Adebayor Threatens to Leave CAN
Togo striker Sheyi Adebayor says that he is done playing for Togo in the African Nations Cup. The young forward did not start Saturday’s match against Congo because of a reported stomach bug. Turns out the only think sick is his ego.
“This morning I said to Adebayor that he wouldn’t play because he hadn’t played in a long time and because he had spent the last week sorting out his contract with Arsenal,” explained Togo coach Stephen Keshi. “Just before the game, I told him I was putting him in the team and then he said he didn’t want to play.”
Seeing a pattern here? Adebayor was sent packing from his club team Monaco for failing to show up for numerous practices. Got to think that Arsenal might be worried a bit about forking over money for someone who clearly lacks discipline and/or heart.
Maybe the guy just isn’t interested in playing football, but given the unemployment rate in Togo he should think long and hard about a career change.
