Adebayor
'I think we have taken a step backwards,' said the 25-year-old. 'Not only me, but the team. We need some players. We had Hleb gone to Barcelona, Flamini gone to Milan and it was quite difficult to play.
'The team are quite young and we have tried to make the best of everything. Don't forget, I was injured three times this season.
'At the beginning of the season it was quite difficult but we have showed we have passed that moment. Now what are we going to achieve next season. That's what we have to fight for.'
As for his own future, Adebayor has again been linked with AC Milan as the season draws to a close.
The former Monaco striker has previously done little to dampen speculation, talking openly about how flattered he was to be on the radar of the Italian giants.
Adebayor was close to joining Milan last summer but has now declared this latest setback would not prompt him to leave.
'Before signing for Arsenal, people were telling me I have the chance to win things,' said the striker, who joined the Gunners in January 2006. 'Now I am empty-handed but I don't have any reason for leaving until I get the trophies that I came here for.'
