Sorry, but i keep updating the page every 3 weeks or so, (stats on his record aginst tottenham, assist and goal against fulham etc) and people keep removing it, how come? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.82.106.47 (talk • contribs) 11:58, May 10, 2007
:usually if the information is not very notable or some sort of a milestone you get expect it to be removed. Because imagine if he's only 23 now and so many of his goals/moves/assists are chartered in a few years time the article length is just going to explode. Chensiyuan 19:59, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

message: This, without a doubt is the worst Wikipedia article that I've ever seen. The Arsenal section for a starter is littered with journalistic magazine style information that wouldn't look out of place in a tabloid. If this isn't sorted soon then it is going to have to be addressed at WikiProject Football. Jazza5 (talk) 17:13, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I reverted a change earlier removing the style of play section. The claims are good, but I think a major change like that should be discussed first. I'm fairly indifferent to the matter. Thoughts? – moonty (talk) (contribs) 05:45, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Style of play sections are fairly common, even amongst good and featured articles (e.g. Thierry Henry and/or Duncan Edwards). In a wider context the same can be said of articles on basketballers. But most of the time these sections are quite hard to write (POV etc.). Chensiyuan (talk) 08:27, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe I was a bit hasty in removing it from this article, but I do not like "Style of play" sections because a majority of them are nothing but opinion ("He is known for this or that") and are mostly gleaned from what's written in the press. They offer nothing encyclopedic.--Beemer69 chitchat 20:23, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I am okay with them because an entry purely on statistics and awards hardly breathe any life or insight into what the player was like qua player. E.g. whether he is fast, can dribble, scores mostly with head... Chensiyuan (talk) 04:36, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

text: Saying that he scored a "stunning volley" at a "seemingly impossible angle" is nothing but POV and weasel words. It does not represent a neutral viewpoint. Plus, a list of goals he scored is sports commentary, which doesn't belong either. Beemer69 chitchat 00:56, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Arsenal fans do not use any racially insensitive songs when singing about Adebayor. The song is : "Adebayor, Adebayor, We've got Arshavin. Fuck Adebayor" Nothing racist in that. I'd appreciate it if in the Controversy section this is addressed as Arsenal fans don't sing that, but other teams did sing the racially insensitive song when he was playing for Arsenal.

thread_title:  Permanent Spurs Move 

message: At time of writing, there are doubts about whether he has converted. Apparently, the "Imam" shown in the video, is in fact a well known local comedian according to some sources. The Daily Mirror 7.7.15 uses "appears to convert to Islam" in their headline. The Daily Telegraph of the same date has in the comments section (1) (from Kenwyne Knowler) "The 'priest' in your article is a Nigerian comedian Mr Ibu." and (2) (from Abiola commenting on the vid that goes with the story) "Do some research Telegraph...the so called priest in your picture is a Nigerian actor/comedian called Mr Ibu!
'Glory be to God' is also something a lot of religious Africans use regularly so doesn't do anything to confirm how pious someone is. Lastly that video doesnt really confirm anything, Adebayor could easily be attending someone's ceremony and the person happens to be a Muslim. Only time will tell if he truly converted or not".46.7.85.68 (talk) 14:42, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Should be "was" a professional footballer who "played" as a forward 

message: Funny that an article locked for quality control would include something like that. There is no source and indeed, no course can be added since it didn't happen. Please remove the allegations of racial abuse by Arsenal fans concerning Adebayor's celebration on his return to the club while playing for Man City. There certainly was abuse but it certainly was not racially motivated nor contained any racist content. Adebayor himself sited that it was a reaction to a lack of respect he felt he was shown as a former player at the club, he never said anything about racism.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnnyMaverik (talk • contribs) 11:47, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

message: Is there any reason why there appears to be little or no mention of his disciplinary record. As an example, he was sent to train with the Academy players, by two different managers while he was playing for Spurs (Andre Villas Boas and Mauricio Pochettino). During this period, he was given time off to attend Togo international games. On one of these occasions, he returned three days late. On a second occasion when he was given time off to attend a Togo match, he never arrived, leading to the then manager saying saying he would never be selected again while he was manager.46.7.195.132 (talk) 20:43, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
