As Eric Cartman eloquently put it:
“Follow your dreams, you can reach your goals, I’m living proof. Beefcaaake! BEEFCAAAKE!”
And it looks like Arsenal’s Emmanuel Adebayor has taken Cartman’s beefcake mantra to heart with the revalation that he has put on more than a stone in muscle in the last five months – he now weight in at 13.5st., so that the next time over-physical cloddhoppers ‘physical’ players like Richard Dunne push him around, Adebayour can push back!
Adebayour revealed all to the Mirror, claiming:
“I needed to do something, I needed to build up my muscles to take the blows. You have to in England.
“When I got going, I was a lot more powerful. There is no comparison with before. Here, you don’t take creatine, only vitamins to recuperate. But we work twice as much.
“I had to progress. I used to take two metres to control the ball. But now the fans are seeing a new Adebayor.”
So is this new beefcake Adebayour be better than the previous lanky lightweight version?
