Wilkins here seems to be saying he'd like to see us sign Adebeyor.  Looking at the kind of signings we've made so far I didn't think the links with Spurs players would be accurate but I'm beginning to think this one might be.  He is a talented player and can score goals in the PL so as long as it's not a 5 year deal on 100k a week or something daft I'd live with it.

Indeed, let's hope she's barely standing up this time too. We might even get a transfer fee.

I saw that tweet too but thought that it was just a guy who had seen a car with 'NZG' as the latter part of the reg plate and was trying to be funny...?

If she's proper fucked up, perhaps we could knock her £15m for Gabby while we're at it. They need proven premier league players after all.

I've just listened to Ray Wilkins talking on the TalkSport snippet linked above, and he does speak well as ever, but what I thought was most interesting were his comments about Sherwood's knowledge of top young players across Europe as a result of his time at the Spurs Academy. I hadn't really thought of that, to be honest, but it's a good point - and it could mean more Bentekes than Lunas, I suppose.

Either way, it's been much more interesting than the initial links to Spurs' reserves anyway. I think it's quite exciting.

Unfortunately I think he did say something about us being keen on Adebayor though.

With everyone else we're signing I wouldn't have a problem with Adebayor on a loan/cheap deal. Whatever else he might get up to, he scores goals.

Good, get him in so he can start at Bournemouth.

"...when Adebayor wants to play he is extremely effective." - from Wilkins' interview.

There's the dilemma. When he's motivated, as he was when he played for Sherwood at Spurs, he's a handful and gets a good share of goals. However, if he's not then he's a big expense. If we can get him on loan for a year, see if we can get Spurs to subsidise his wages, then we should be mitigating the risk as best as we can. Another quality forward might help with that but I assume Ayew can play wide or in the middle.

[Malandro]

I'll certainly cut him some slack, the papers obsession with his family problems is just sensationalism.

Money mixed with friends/family always causes problems. I've had it and its very unpleasant.

[RussellC]

I could see Adebayor having a similar impact to John Carew for a season or two for us. My only worry is that we'll have to field the U21s for a month when the next ACN comes around!

I think if he comes, a cut price 2 year deal may be the way to go, sooner us secure him for an extra season just in case he does well. And if he comes, like with all signing the fans should get behind him, and as you say he's got goals in him.
Personally though, I think he comes off like a big time Charlie and won't settle at a club at the wrong end of the table.
