Arsenal legend Henry slams Adebayor: Show some respect!

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has slammed the antics of Emmanuel Adebayor in action for Manchester City last week. Barcelona striker Henry told the Sunday Mirror: "You have to remember, no matter where you end up, the people who helped make you along the way and gave you the chance.

"I won the treble with Barcelona last year, but I know if it wasn't for Arsene Wenger and Arsenal I would not be the player I am today.

"I think the same has to be true of Adebayor. He might be one of the world's top strikers today, but he wasn't before Arsene got hold of him and gave him that chance.

"When he came from Monaco he wasn't even getting games back in France and then within two seasons he was a player who was wanted by a lot of top clubs in Europe.

"Arsene puts a lot of investment in you when he sees talent and I don't think it would hurt for Adebayor to show him, the club and the fans a little more respect."
