From the BBC (well, most of it)
Manchester City have added to their collection of egos by signing Arsenal's Emmanuel Adebayor on a five-year deal for a fee of around £25m.
The 25-year-old joins fellow new self-importances Roque Santa Cruz and Carlos Tevez at Eastlands.
And with Robinho, Craig Bellamy, Valeri Bojinov and Benjani also on their books, City have an embarrassment of over inflated egos up front.
"I can't wait to play for City's fans and show them what I can do," he said.
"I was born to be a star and play football and that is what I want to do. I have come here to make history for this club and those supporters.
"It what the chairman and the manager told me that they want too and I can't wait to get started."
The Togo striker, who takes City's summer spending to around £80m, passed a medical on Saturday and had already been successful in arranging a work permit.
Adebayor, who was also linked with linked to AC Milan, Preston and Chelsea, spent three-and-a-half seasons with the Gunners after joining them from Monaco for £7m, scoring 62 goals in 142 games.
Man City is gonna be interesting. Mark Hughes will be out if they don't perform like a top 5 Prem team from the start of the season.
It's a laugh ain't it.
