Emmanuel Adebayor

[Ron Manager]

Do we know if Adebayor has been in pre-season training with the Spuds squad? Obviously he hasn't had much game time but if he's general fitness is ok to good then he should pretty much walk straight into the team (I'm not convinced by Kozak even if he does have a handy habit of scoring a few goals).

He has had no game time since the back end of 2014! He is unfit let alone match fit for the top division. Not injured mind you but has been picking up 100grand a week for doing nothing.Kozak was very good last night very good indeed!

I'd be surprised if he starts v Bournemouth

Indie reporting we're paying the full £100k per week plus a loan fee. I struggle to believe that's true. We could have done that deal weeks ago surely?

[mr underhill]

if we have we've learned nothing and Sherwood's head must button up the back

[Nii Lamptey]

Rumblings that Ade is now a done deal. Announcing imminently. Veretout sounds nailed on too.

Could be a good transfer window for us - Losing our best 2 players from last season might be a blessing in disguise. After all 16 teams finished above us without those two!

It's allowed us to give the squad a bloody good cleanout. I'm mildly optimistic!   

[Clark W Griswold]

I was just wondering whether we're going to keep up the 1 new signing per day this week, sounds possible. I'm going to say Adebeyor today, Veretout tomorrow and Berbatov Friday. We'd be well covered then, although I'll be greedy and request another centre back.

[KRS]

...and we may as well push the boat out for a new RB too please!

I'm with KRS. It's a need not a want

As long as Friday is incorrect, please be Gestede instead, not relic Berbatov.

Maybe we deliberately left it til later in the summer to save us half a million or more in wages plus more in NI contributions, yet enough time so he can be integrated with the squad before the season starts. Added to the faint hope that Benteke would stay.

Mind you I'd be surprised and a bit pissed-off if we are paying all his wages. If they really are £100k, he's not the player I would want us to have broken the four-year retrenchment on the wage bill for.

I don't believe for one second we are paying him £100k per week

Neither do I

Is his medical being done by the Doctor who did Benteke - its taking a while 

[brian green]

Ah the little ears specialist.

[aj2k77]

Will a medical be able to tell if his moms juju witchcraft is still having an effect on him?

If that is true it is absolutely nuts.  Spurs would pay £5m wages for a player they won't use.  Surely they should be paying us to reduce that deficit?
