Noel Gallagher: Manchester City should not buy Chelsea's John Terry

John Terry has been told to stay away from Manchester City - because he's a "Cockney cry baby".

In an astonishing attack, Oasis guitarist and City fan Noel Gallagher says he is horrified at the prospect of the England captain leaving Chelsea for a mercenary move north.

"I don't like John Terry and I never have," said Gallagher of the proposed move. He's got funny eyes and he's a cry baby. He's also a Cockney."

Gallagher also said he wanted nothing to do with Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor. He added: "I have always had a great dislike for Adebayor. I don't like all that silly dancing by the corner flag."

Angry Adebayor is locked in a battle with Arsenal over a £ 2m loyalty bonus. The first he knew of his proposed switch was last week - he was told at the airport by Arsenal officials, when he returned from Togo.
