It isn't, but then, there is no evidence he actually made that comment, whereas there is an on-record interview where he says he is totally happy and committed.
We reported on 17 September that French club Lyon had pulled out of negotiations to sign Togo international striker Emmanuel Adebayor.
A free agent since his contract expired with Crystal Palace at the end of last season, he had held talks with coach Bruno Genesio but a deal "failed to materialise".
However, according to The Mirror Genesio has another side to the story...
“We had a place in our squad for Manu, so I arranged to meet him for a coffee in Lyon," he is quoted as saying.
“But, to my surprise, when he arrived he asked for a shot of whisky in his coffee. He also had a cigarette hanging out of his mouth."
Genesio admitted the interview "began badly" before he decided not to pursue a move for the ex-Manchester City and Tottenham man.
West Ham will offer Cesc Fabregas an escape route from Chelsea if the Spanish midfielder cannot break back into Antonio Conte's first-team on a regular basis, according to the Sunday Mirror.
Fabregas has played six times for Chelsea this season, mainly as a substitute, scoring twice in the 4-2 midweek win over Leicester.
The 29-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge for the past 10 months.

I know which one I believe.
The reports, not G man
Although, of course, not mutually exclusive ;wink
As long as they deliver on a Saturday is all that matters, and we know Ade delivers ( for about a match and a half at least ).

Absolute rubbish
That should be illegal.
