Emmanuel Adebayor

We don't need him now. Walk away if he's being greedy. Tim will do the right thing I'm sure.

[mr underhill]

a greedy grasping  over the hill nut job. 100 per  cent no.

[Salsa Party Animal]

I would rather us pull out and go for Diego Rolan instead.

[Archie]

I would rather us pull out.

This.
A part from the fact that he is an ex player, he has such a huge ego that he if he went in bus he would be requested to pay three  tickets.
He would bring only problems to the team.

[Ron Manager]

We could have problems with Ayew who by all accounts is a bit tempremental. We don't need two of that type.Let Daniel Levy keep him and his massive wages.
 

[Phil from the upper holte]

If he's asking for more money just forget him, I'm sure we're going to be OK in that area

[Clampy]

At the end of the day, we don't know why the deal is being held up. I would say though that he does come across as someone who moves to wherever will pay him enough.

[Matt Collins]

I'm in two minds really. Definite reservations. But benteke's shoes are massive ones to fill and he's the only candidate who you could credibly say is a better player or even close to being as good (at his best).

How does he? Pretty much every move up to Real Madrid that he made was to a more successful club. He left there because he wasn't a regular. Now, of course most of those moves will have come with a pay rise but that doesn't mean he's only in it for the money any more than Veretout is for the massive salary increase he'll have got by joining us.

If we was only in it for the money he'd make far more playing for LA Universe or Al-Oily or some such team abroad. If he signs for Villa it will be because he still feels he can deliver in one of the toughest leagues around

If it's a loan, as touted, he'll get 100% of the wages he's on at Spurs, regardless of whether Villa or Tottenham pay all or some of it. It'll be Tottenham, or quite possibly Villa, holding up the deal not Adebayor.

[TheMalandro]

I don't understand why some are saying Adebayor is being greedy, it looks like we are haggling for a loan deal. His wages are high but he has a spurs contract - so he's entitled to it.

[mr underhill]

we'll end up paying him more per week than a small Caribbean island's annual GDP. Tim's good work with him was a long time ago with a different team in different circumstances. Adebayor follows the money pure and simple, especially as his twilight  years beckon.

Then I guess he's like 99.9% of employees worldwide.

[cdbearsfan]

Adebayor follows the money pure and simple

You have evidence of this, or are you just making it up?

He's already got lots of money. If that was his only motivation why would he be talking to us rather than sitting on the Tottenham bench collecting a fortune or buggering off to America or some other such cash-laden retirement league?

[Holte L2]

Adebayor is also behind a charity project in his native Togo. Maybe he might not be the mercenary people make him out to be   http://seafoundation.tg

[Des Little]

If the deal suits us, great. If it doesn't, walk away. Simples.
