Adebayor to Spurs

[northbank123]

Is City paying Adebayor to play for Spurs on a permanent basis something the Premier League should really be allowing without comment at least? The loan system itself is open to abuse, but when you get City paying him nearly £100k/w when he's not even on their books any more (not to mention more or less waiving a transfer fee) it makes a complete mockery of the already ridiculous transfer market.

the sugar daddy clubs will keep making a mock of the sport until they bore themselves out. the federations are too afraid to clash them and risk their league losing visibilty.

To be honest in the past we've arguably been guilty. The loan system can given youngsters priceless experience and help players get back to fitness but I could understand how Birmingham's rivals would be bitter that we essentially got them promoted by loaning them Muamba, Bendtner and Larsson for a year, three players they wouldn't have been able to attract or afford at the time. Last year City paying Adebayor vast sums to play for a rival that couldn't afford his fee or wages really irked me, but continuing to do the same despite selling him for a nominal fee really takes the piss.

Didn't Chelsea set that trend with Le Saux . They bought Bridge and "sold" Le Saux as part of the deal to Southampton. To ease the transfer for Le Saux , Chelsea made up the shortfall in his wages weekly. I am against loan deals between Premier League Clubs, I accept we done well from Benyoun last season but I think in principal it is wrong. Achieve Premier League status , play your own players. How is it developing your own club at the top level if you bring in loan players.?

Nothing really wrong with loans btw Prem clubs but if you can't pay ALL of the players wages then you don't get the player

T way the chavs and shitty just abuse it to help non rivals to screw their rivals whilst being unaffected is plain wrong.

Wasn't there a rumour years ago that Leeds were still paying Fowlers wages after he'd joined another club??

guy on loan should be allowed to play against his parent club cant see how its fair he can play and maybe score against their rivals but cant play against them.

And if said player is only on loan for a few months and intends to return to the club and establish himself there then doesn't that put him in a situation if he is expected to score a goal that could have severe consequences for his parent club ? How will it be perceived if the player in question actually has a bad game on the day ? I mean the guy could run his arse off trying to win the game but could miss an open goal or pen or could let in an easy goal and you would have managerial c**ts like the CIC and ferguscum in an absolute frenzy over it

The current loan system isn't right but allowing loanee's to play against their parent club is unworkable imo

I think there should be a max age you can send somebody out on loan like 23/24.

A to a team. All's right in the world.

I agree about how nonsense it is for Citeh to pay huge portions of his salary. But teams are free to contract as they like, I suppose...

[QuartzGooner]

I like the loan system, gives clubs a chance to sample the merchandise before committing to buy.
Limited to three per squad I think, sounds fair?

Agree with Augie about loanees not playing against parent clubs.

[supergeorgegraham]

Lets be honest and not waste time on this guy. Yes he will score goals but he FAILED at City and now plays for a Spurs team who are never going to win the league.

[OneBardGooner]

Still think it would be good to ambush him on his way to the scums training ground - get all kitted up in army togs with fake guns etc and jump out at the side of the road...he'd shyte a fecking brick!
