Losing Benteke and signing Adebayor would be like losing a Maserati and getting a turd baguette in return.We should be aiming to sign players on the way up (like Benteke and Delph, actually); players hungry to make their name with us. Rather than basket cases like Dr Alban, who are chasing one last payday and are happy to just poodle about. If Paddy Reilly and this new Sporting Director are to earn their corn, that's the type of lazy, unimaginative and ruinous transfer deals we need to put a stop to. Maybe Sherwood will turn out be be Ron Saunders mkII. But recent history suggests he will be doing well to stay at the club for 2/3 years. Someone who is unlikely to be a long term employee shouldn't be given carte blanche to have total control over deals that could impact us long after they've gone, as per O'Neill, Houlieballs and the rest.

Adebayor today reacted angrily to comments by Kevin Gage by blasting "I don't know what his problem is. It's my life, not his"
I don't see the logic in Adebayor as a short term fix with a younger striker being brought in also. Why not just use Kozak for the Adebayor role?
Rumours on twitter of a 10m bid for Embolo.
We might have read the same article.Why would he half his wages to join us? It's unlikely Tottingham would subsidise half (or any) of his wages too. Seems they would want a fee of £5 million and we'd have to pay anywhere between £60-100k per week on top of that. So an extra £9.3 million - £15 million+ over three years or £12.5 million - £20 million over four. No thanks.
