Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[Tom_Mc9?]

He wouldn't be my first choice as like others, I just don't like him and don't think he's come across very well at any of the clubs he's been at. However, Sherwood got him firing for Spurs, so I'd try to keep open-minded.

Adedbayor would be a massive gamble.  Just because he's played well for Tim once doesn't mean he'll do so again.  The guy clearly has motivation issues and unless it was strictly pay as you play I'd rather steer clear.

Another problem with Adebayor is that he has more family issues than Den and Angie out of Eastenders

Exactly the type of player we don't want in the club....and exactly the type of player we will get I'm afraid.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Talksport (Yes, I know )saying Adebayor is heading our way.

Must be, Talk Shite never get it wrong

Another concern in having a number of African players in the squad is that every other January they head off to the ACN for the majority of January.

[Clampy]

Can't see anything in this because 1, it's talksport and 2, that would only leave Spurs with Kane and the hopeless Soldado (I think).

Being linked with a 5 million move for Milosevic according to twitter.










Alex Milosevic that it.

Sign him for one million in January

Injured most the time

Sell for five million

That's how it reads

Really not sure that we need another young defender, seeing as we already have Okore, Clark and Baker.  We really could do with an experienced defender who can organise those around him.

What makes you say that?!

I cannot believe that TS and the other members of his coaching / advisory team would go for someone who is (i) in decline from a playing perspective, (ii) personally flaky, (iii) not exactly a team player, and (iv) used to excessively-high wages.
And anyway, he's already got one of the above: step forward Charles N'Zog.

I would be gutted if we wasted money on that arse Adebayor.  I just dont get these players who will only turn up when they have a manager they like in charge - stinks of being a bad egg to me. I get players not working in certain teams styles and formations, but Adebayor has been booed and shipped out of clubs for plain laziness...a lack of effort is unacceptable for the amount of money players are paid (and the amount of money it costs fans to go and watch a game for that matter)

So Sherwood can get him going, fine. But what happens when Sherwood leaves? we are stuck with a 30+ player on high wages with no resale value. No thanks.

[cdbearsfan]

Adebayor scores shitloads of goals. If he does that for us, I don't care if people think he's an arse.

There's a few ponderables in here but still... IF Benteke goes and IF we sign that young wunderkind we were linked with the other day, it might make sense to bring in an experienced player to lead the line till the teenager is ready to play regularly.

Unless the sage that is Graham Beecroft confirms it, then I won't believe it.

What about Micah Richards? We should sign him.

[ozzjim]

What would he (Adebayor) cost now? Maybe a couple of million (I can't see us paying any more than a couple of million for him) and some kind of negotiation on wage to about £70k a week, so about 4 million ish a season. How many goals for that outlay becomes good value - 10? 400k a goal - much cheaper than Bent? 15> £243k per goal? Not sure, but there has to be a point where it becomes a calculated gamble. Against some of the other expensive flops we have had, I am not convinced that he would stack up worse, and would likely end up looking a lot better while Sherwood is in charge.

I would prefer someone else, but the expense/ goals I don't think would be outrageous for a couple of seasons.

Confirmed by the club that Luna has left Bennet and Tonev not in the squad photos on the OS thats 7 out with Given going so far.
