Yeah, usually his own.
Adebayor to Spurs?
- Thread starter Carl
- Start date

Watching Defoe last night (totally shit - then gets an open goal when De Gea dropped a bollock and misses from 3 yards), I'm sure he was ready to kit up his missus for the season (seeing as she's a better finisher than Darren Bent).
As a loan it's good. He seems to start well at teams when he's still enthusiastic. Then time passes, he loses interest, starts behaving badly. Spurs are a bit desperate for good strikers and he's better than everything they've got. Should at least get a few good months out of him before it all falls apart again, and if it doesn't happen, they can still sign him permanently when the loan ends.
Think that's a bit harsh, his record at clubs is usually quite good, and he scored 62 goals in 143 games for Arsenal. In fact his record in the prem is 141 games and 61 goals. That's decent for any striker. Certainly better than any striker Spurs have had recently (apart from Bent IMO)
Adebayor is a top player, as a striker there's nothing he doesn't have. He's a complete package. I just don't understand why clubs are so quick to pass him around like a hot potato.
I still think he can be useful for Real. Jose must truly trust Benzema this season.

How many years is he into his retirement anyway? Didn't he promise to retire that season Ronaldo outscored the world?
Because he has about as much motivation as a man on death row
Football is played in the head. I'd be tempted to cut him some slack over the Angola bus shooting but he was acting like a dick long before that.
Some people on that "next United manager" thread seem to think it's a bad thing that Mourinho gets that out of his players.
Ya fecker I read twiggys comment; the last on the first page and quoted it to say exactly what you did
That was my joke
IT WAS MY JOKE!!!!!Ya fecker I read twiggys comment; the last on the first page and quoted it to say exactly what you did

At least they have a song already for him.
snap shot his career and he's a very good player but overall his career so far is that of a money grubbing waster.

Adebayor is at the Spurs match tonight following a medical today.
I don't know whether it's straight loan, or a loan with an option to buy at a fixed price.

Do you still think he's worse than Darren Bent?
He'll score more than any other Spurs player did last season (VDV's 13 was it, isnt setting the bar too high) but at the same time he'll increase the number of goals scored around him as well, so VDV, Defoe, Pavlyuchenko should all get into double figures comfortably IMO.
I think it's fair to say you're more optimistic about both his talents and his ability to stay motivated long term than most.
He's on massive wages at City (like 150k per week) so how much will Spurs pick up?
Amazing how no one ever criticizes 'arry for letting Bent go. It's all the rage nowadays to slag Wenger it seems.
Its not really that much of an outlandish statement though, the bar isnt very high in terms of what the strikers achieved last season, and with it being only a loan deal he'll still need to prove himself. Having someone like him around is only going to make the rest of the attackers up their game as well, in order that they can get a space in the starting 11.
Of course, if he does do well on loan, 'Arry will try and get him permanently, at which point Adebayor will just give up and 6 months later Spurs will be looking to offload him themselves.
From what I've heard it's gonna be 50-50
Parker's next I hear, should be done by early next week.
Does that mean they're not interested in Lass anymore?
Parker and Diarra are both midfielders though, Harry likes to take them all if they're available at a good rate.
Are you suggesting he's a wheeler dealer?
What the feck are City thinking? I mean for a poxy couple of million they could keep him in reserves instead of potentially strengthening a 'rival' (I'm being very kind to sp*rs there). Unless his mission is to feck them over as much as possible.
Will be funny seeing them chant his name though. Wankers.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. At the time he could not keep both him and Defoe happy. At the time Defoe seemed the better option
Now he doesnt
Parker and Diarra... how many midfielders do they need?
Why the feck isn't Wenger going after any midfielders?

I believe City needs to get him off their wage bill even though it is 50%
