I would say though that he does come across as someone who moves to wherever will pay him enough.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 aroundIf 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.

Arsenal always claim players are "greedy" when they leave to join Man City, as they can't accept that they have slipped below them in the pecking order.Of course, he will have got a payrise, you'd have had to have had a pretty shit agent to sign for Man City and not get one. I reckon that moving to a more successful club was his main motivation though just as it was with all the other players who've quit Arsenal for Manchester in recent years.
I'm afraid that's the nature of the beast. Top players will get the best wages - look at Falcao last season at Man Utd, £300k a week - a complete waste of money. Rooney on £250k a week - so Adebayor on £100k a week is not a big issue. .

Whereas Delph is different. He is greedy.
I prefer "div". "Joey" sounds like an insult used by someone who has watched too much Neighbours/Home and Away. And by "too much" I mean "any".
