What a day for Emmanuel Adebayor. 'Freed' from his cage at Arsenal by the nouveau wealthy Manchester City, the forward managed a clearance off the line, the run of the season so far, a blatant stamp on a former teammate's face, a goal and a subsequesnt celebration that rendered the preceeding strike almost an afterthought as he desperately sprinted 90-yards towards the Arsenal support and slid, arms spread provocatively, towards them, as if he were their saviour. As much as he was booed last season - a likely cause to his frustration and reaction - he has not heard the loudest, most passionate dissent directed towards him.
A goal a game with no lack of alacrity or drama, Adebayor has much still to do to repay the team's financial faith in him. As a spectacle, a topic, a storybook villain, he has already surpassed the attention his fee has brought him.
