Twitter Reacts as Crystal Palace Sign Emmanuel Adebayor

Emmanuel Adebayor has finally returned from the footballing wilderness after agreeing to a deal to join Crystal Palace until the end of the season.

The former Togo international will join the Eagles on a free transfer, having been released by Tottenham in September.

Adebayor is undoubtedly a proven Premier League marksman, but his latest contract has inspired a mixed reaction for Twitter. Plenty were positive about the move:

"

Adebayor will do well at Palace, him Zaha and Bolasie could be a very dangerous attacking trio for them

Just as many, however, were willing to relay their contempt for the African journeyman:

The most common reaction to the signing was to point out the short-term nature of his effectiveness:

"

Adebayor, coming to a fantasy league near you for 3 weeks between now and May before spectacularly falling from grace.

"

Adebayor signs for Palace, decent little signing till he gets bored of playing football again.

Whether Adebayor is a success in south London or not, his return to the spotlight will certainly be interesting:

"

Adebayor has landed at #CPFC. Can't see what could possibly go wrong, can you? https://t.co/UlEAsRl9OX
