Adebayor to Spurs

I would also doubt that he has the commitment to see out a four year contract with anyone. He strikes me as a guy who just doesn't ever know what he wants. (except money, he always wants that)

Even if he plays really well there he's not going to stay beyond 2 years when his wages drop from £175k/w to £80k/w.

A huge arsehole. Both he and the scum deserve each other. How he can play for a club whose fans racially abused him and they chear a guy who they racially abused is beyond me.

he will start off well then do what he did here and at city. re clubs still paying wages of ex players, well to get round that they could just pay the equivalent value on top of the transfer fee instead. this would only work for clubs that could afford the lump sum though, so city would be fine.

i see no difference in a club paying the wages of an ex palyer or just payign extra on the transfer fee

Not interested in him in the slightest. No doubt he will start losing interest at Sp*rs soon enough or they will lose interest in him. Same old same old.

Shockingly depressing and sadly too true. Urinates on anything we've currently got up front.

And that's based on one game for podolski and giroud?

I'd rather have those two than Adebayor all day

Until he lost interest again...or wanted another wage rise ....or fancied (re) trying his chances at real etc....like many he has skill, but on him they are wasted.

Agreed 100%. The fuckwit couldn't hit a barn with a cow in that last season. And we were creating fuckloads of chances for him too. Yeah he was great in flashes, good for a while, but then ultimately went to shit when he started thinking he was a superstar and his head got turned by more money and lost interest in being at Arsenal.

They basically already are doing that though, practically giving him away at £5m. Quick calculation shows that if City are paying £95k/w for 2 years that works out at about £10m. Therefore, they're essentially paying Spurs £5m to take Adebayor on far lower wages than he'd ever consider.

Despite the fact they do deserve each other, there's too many clubs who will give a bad penny a chance because they're desperate and soulless and mercenary and football keeps these players on the football merry go round when they should be sent to a football scrapheap in the sky, :blah:
