The thought of him and Sherwood doing their wanky salute makes me want to throw up my lunch.

I think you'd get to like it after the 20th time.

It would be crazy to pay a transfer fee for him or offer him a lengthy contract, but if it's a loan, and we're not coughing up all of his silly wages, then that looks like a sensible deal to me.

Maybe we'll loan him for a year and then Everton will sign him on a free next Summer...

It will be interesting to see if Sherwood can get him scoring again. He took a lot of credit at Spurs for getting Adebayor scoring. Let's hope he can do it again.

Aye aye Cap'n!



There's obviously quite a serious bromance going on there, but if we do sign him that will be the thing I'll look forward to.

Adebayor can leap on to Sherwood's back and give him a friendly reach around for all I care, as long he scores regularly.

yep. If nothing else he found a way with Adebayor and Benteke to play to their strengths and get them the ball in dangerous areas. I don't have as much concern with that as I do with him figuring out how to keep the ball out of our net. If we can have a more compact side and not rely on one system to score goals then it could be a good season.

I'm not going to lavish too much praise on Sherwood for Benteke's goals, even a 7 year old could see what the problem was and we needed to enter the opposition's half. How Lambert survived for so long is still a mystery. More than anything, other than increasing the pace and let's face it, it was impossible to play any slower, Sherwood's ability was giving the players the freedom and confidence to play football again. Hopefully he knows what makes Adeboyor tick as it's a very risky bit of business even with a loan as if he's not right mentally, he'll be earning a tonne of money to watch our games from the stands.

The only real positive is it will give us options up front which is a luxury we never had last season. Here's hoping.

I look forward to seeing him and Tim saluting each other every game because it'll mean he's scoring us a shitload of goals.

'Like it' is pushing it, let's just say I'd probably shake my head and raise my eyebrows.

I could get used to it. In time. After about the 30th one.

How you celebrate us scoring goals is entirely for you to decide. ;)

Here's to hoping he does well enough to keep us away from the relegation zone, but not well enough to make us seriously consider signing him on beyond this season.

If we get him then I feel this has been one of the most exciting close seasons I can remember - I don't even know much about half of the Jordan's or any of the others but am really looking forward to the start now

Well done everyone connected to the club, especially Tim and Tom for just getting things done very professionally- after the let down of Wembley you have certainly put some excitement back around the place

Sherwood knows exactly what he is getting from him, so if he wants him that is a good sign.
This.
