The longer this goes on, the less bothered I get about him coming to Villa Park. Big time Charlies in the last chance saloon, should be a bit more enthused about joining a club like ours.

Fuck Levy. We don't need his problems here. Why should we help a direct rival?

tut tut Olaftab, don't set your sights so low :)

We're trying to get a player off Spurs who's on a big salary - you can bet the hold-up is due to Daniel Levy rather than the player.

I'd rather just do what's best for Villa rather than worrying about how it effects Tottenham.

I want Adebayor here. Convinced he'll do well. He just scores loads of goals. I'm not sure why people hate that so much.

I hope you're right.

It wouldn't be a surprise if a deal was agreed and Levy moved the goalposts. Villa then told him to go fuck himself. They are stuck with an even more fucked off £100k per week Adebayor. We go with Berbatov.

None us really know. I suspect that given the signings made, we might be less worried about getting a deal done - which might have even prompted us to push for a better deal.

I'm not sure Spurzzz have too many options for a player their Manager has no intention of using, so if we are still interested we have four weeks to do this deal and can see how Kozak and the new signings shape up in the meantime. UTV.

We've just signed 2 forwards in the space of a few days and have 2 more in the squad so we can afford to bide our time on this one to make sure the deal is right for the club.

If its Spurs playing hardball over the deal then quite simply...fuck 'em. It's unlikely anyone else will be in for him so I'd be happy for this one to run its course all the way to transfer deadline day.

If its to do with negotiating the finances with Adebayor himself, then the club should be prepared to walk away and find an alternative target (preferably not Berbatov).

I think some of the later comments are correct, Levy is a prize pri%k and wants every last penny. He is on a hiding to nothing on this one though as only Tim is willing to give him a chance. History between them may be the issue but in the end do we need him, we have two big lads? Personally I would like to see a fired up Adebayor, but surely so would the Spuds manager if he had been going 100% in training?

I read he doesn't want to go to Palace and they have got Bamford and not sure if 100% Connor Wickham for a paltry 9 million lol

I'd take him, but only on our terms. Fuck Spurs.

A journo on Twitter is saying that the issue is between us and Ade. He wants to come but also wants ££.
Thought this one would have been done by now. Ultimately though, we should walk away before end of the weekend if he's not committing.
Got a feeling these Berba stories tonight are just to smoke him out a bit
