Weah: Adebayor Would Be Great For Milan

Rossoneri legend George Weah says that AC Milan would do well to prise Emanuel Adebayor away from Arsenal in their bid to restablish themselves amongst the elite of world football.


It is looking increasingly likely that the Togolese hit-man will be lining up in the famous red-and-black of Milan if the latest reports from both Italy and England are to be believed.

Weah, perhaps his continent's finest ever footballer, clearly would love to see Adebayor follow in his footsteps by bringing the spirit of Africa to Milan.

"Adebayor has good skills, he's strong and he's a good scorer," Weah was quoted as saying in Setanta Sports.

"If they have the possibility to take him to AC Milan, that's a good deal."

"Life has so many transitions," he added when talking about Milan's misfirings last season. "If they want to continue being the winners they have been they will definitely have to recruit."

According to Sportmediaset , only €5m stand now stand between Milan and Adebayor.

We keep hearing this story.

Milan will not pay 35 million euros for a player.

Adeb is a forward and an effective one. The problem is we are putting all our eggs in one basket.

We sold a bunch of players. We need to do something to get back into contention.

What about Juventus and Inter, they have spent like crazy over the past couple season and will continue to do so. Milan are a joke that hasn't spent anything. WInning leads to further prestige, ticket sales, revenues, tournament funding, sponsor funds. Lets face it of all the big clubs in Europe Milan have the worst merchandising strategy. The worst products to buy,. You can't even buy a Kaka poster and you can buy posters for all everyone else from other clubs in the US.

IF this was anywhere else in the world these turkeys would be thrown out for not qualifying for the Champions League. Without a first rate forward we will have another tactical nightmare season.
