Adebayor Signs for Man City

It is official; Emmanuel Adebayor has made the move from Arsenal to Man City, as manager Mark Hughes continues his huge spending spree before the start of the new season. What a signing! Arsenal were happy to let the Togo striker leave after he made it known that he did not want to stay at the club. And with Russian striker Arshavin showing so much promise at the end of last season, I am sure Arsene Wenger will be happy to have a large transfer fund to use on a few extra players.

My question is this; How spoilt does Man City manager Mark Hughes want to be? And how is he going to select a forward line? With Craig Bellamy and Robinho already in the squad, Hughes has acquired Carlos Tevez, Roque Santa Cruz and now Adebayor....are you kidding me! No other team in the league has ever had a strike force like this. Hughes must be drooling at the prospect of having 5 absolutely world class strikers to choose from. But how is he going to manage having so many big name strikers? Robinho and Adebayor would be starting strikers in any Premier League team, while Santa Cruz and Tevez have shown why they are regarded as some of the best strikers in the Premier League. An, Bellamy to me is one of the hardest working strikers in England when he is fit! Oh my! Now that he has such a strong front line, and a pretty decent midfield, I think Hughes will focus his attention on a new center back. Lets be honest, that's all he needs to have a team to challenge the top 4. I imagine that this will be the week when City place a $25+ million offer for Lescott, or a huge offer for John Terry or Man Utd's Vidic. Once this is sealed, City will be a feared team in the Premier League!
