Free agent Adebayor was expected to join the Ligue 1 club last week, only for the deal to fall through. Teenage forward Mateta has instead been recruited from Chateauroux, with Aulas hinting the acquisition of the 19-year-old on a five-year deal is likely to prove better business than handing a short-term contract to the veteran Adebayor. Emmanuel Adebayor had agreed to come two days late. As always, it is the technical staff who make the ultimate decision, we followed that decision."
