Just gone to make a tea and I've worked out my own question.
Remember who we're dealing with...Adebayor.
The crucial part delaying of this deal is the sell-on clause which we tend to use alot.
Ade will be harbouring a move next summer (regardless) to Milan. We all now he will.
So if we can get £22M plus 20% sell-on. If he was sold for £25 to Milan we get another £5M!!
Not yet, they keep mentioning it on ssn but nothing concrete (the stuff ades boots must be made of when you look at his firs touch )
First touch of a rapist.
That is my favourite, love saying to other players when you are playing against them
My sisters are not happy though cos a couple of my 10 year old nephews say it now
Yeah, it's class - I use it alot on the pitch!! Oppo players hate that one.
If I've been giving an oppo defender a torrid time of it or he's a wankhead then I grab my shorts and pretend to root around in my pocket and ask him if he'd like to get out for a run... not sure if you have the expression "to put someone in your pocket" over there...? Means to outclass them repeatedly. Works a treat in Ireland!!
Also love to drag in a deep breath, gasp out a sigh and say, "Jaysus, try a bit harder will you - I'm knackered carrying you around in me pocket all day..."

Yeah we have the "in your pocket" jibe, i like to take my top off an offer it to defenders who are always pulling me back by my shirt and say "if you want it that badly mate have it but don't you normally swap shirts after the game", they generally go a tad red faced the refs laugh at that too normally or you might get the odd booking
and of course we have those sayings here!
that and you're a "Cunny Funt!"
I used to do a similar thing.
When I ever got brought down (the deliberate ones) you'd fine your team mates would often want to wade in with some abuse or check how I was. So I'd reply with a rye smile.
"Lads Lads! I'm fine seriously! he can't help it if he slow."
Was even sweeter if said just after they'd been booked.

Same thoughts here, I concede he might end up going, but think about it this way, we've just finished 4th and City are looking more and more likely to challenge us for that spot ahead of anyone else who finished near us last season.
Out of point but, you see that pic you got there, been looking at it for a while now and am so going to knock a few off and fill up the space in her collar bone
Just before we give it the big Hurah about the possible departure of Adebayor i would like to state that i am a little bit worried by who we could possibly attract to replace him ,i know he has a skinking attitude sometimes ,but the fact is he gets the goals for us ,just can't see us getting Eto as if he wants to come to the prem i can see him ending up at Man U or Chelsea on a Big Big Wage and with his age just does not strike me as a Arsene signing ??there seems to be a lack of options out there for us to sign who will fit in straight away & RVP & eduardo will not go a whole season with out breaking down

Another jersey thing I did once; this wankhead had been chopping me down all the way through a game and the ref had finally booked him so he had to be careful late on, and I finally got past him and scored the winner. At the end of the match I went over and gave him my jersey and said, "Here ya go, son..." in the most patronising voice I could without looking for his in return - I just walked away.
He flipped out and had to be held back...
Only thing was my manager at the time gave me a bollocking afterwards, not for being arrogant, not for being unsporting... no, none of that. He bollocked me for risking losing a jersey!
"What if the fucker had kept it??!!" he wailed. "These jerseys don't buy themselves you know!!"

Haha nice one
Our sunday manager used to always forget to wash our kit and on occassion would bring it soaking wet after trying to wash and dry it on the sunday morning an if it was cold and blowy outside the first 20 mins of the game was fecking freezin
He then had a stroke of genius and bought the brazil kit (lovely) but with short sleeves

Managers!
Our old one once forgot to get the kit washed and just sprayed fuck out of it with Lynx on the way to the game. The fucking stink in the minibus, the stink in the changing rooms and the stink off us as we shook the oppo hands, did the coin toss, warmed up etc etc!! Even the ref was laughing...
