Arsenal 'gentlemen' never stood a chance against 'psycho' Ferdinand and 'rock' Vidic - Adebayor

The former Gunners striker has said that Arsene Wenger’s squad had quality but did not have the strength to win major honours

Emmanuel Adebayor has said his former Arsenal side lacked the winning mentality to compete for major honours during his spell at the Emirates.

The 35-year-old spent three years with the north London club between 2006-09 but failed to collect any silverware in that period.

During that time, Arsenal undoubtedly had a talented squad, with the likes of Csec Fabregas, Robin van Persie and Gael Clichy in their ranks, but often were criticised for not having the mental resolve required to win trophies.
