Emmanuel Adebayor

[Tony Erdington]

the championship managers on here are brilliant, they've never signed a bad player, and always win their league.

Just maybe Tim Sherwood is Aston Villa manager on judgement calls, and he see's Adebayor as a good option, as Tim has worked with him before, the cost is right, and most importantly Tim believes the player will advance his team,

On that basis, I say "if the gaffer, who hasn't done a lot wrong up to now, wants to try out a player, then maybe his a bit better informed then an internet manager."

Oh, no, not that one again.

By which measure we'd better close this place down as it exists entirely on the basis of people who have never so much as kicked a ball in professional football disagreeing with people who have.

Short of memory, too.

They finished 7th last season.

Nah, they finished 16th.

I suppose it isn't fair to say , but fuck it.
As "a top flight side" laughs up sleeve, there pretty much on a par with the lower leagues of England, ie York City. So on that basis, wtf are we doing offering a boat load of money for a player from York, we aint no big time charlies , ask Fabian, so renegotiate , half the offering price and threaten the town of orient with the guillotine, or we'll Taunt them some more.

How do you figure that the lower half of the French top flight is the same level as the English fourth division? That's utter bollocks.

that's exactly my point the lower half of the French league is utter bolox.

Also those professional football managers have quite often been proved wrong. As it happens in this case I think Adebayor is worth a punt.

You do know that you've posted that on a football forum don't you?

[mr underhill]

I'm cautiously optimistic this won't happen

[Dante Lavelli]

Bringing Adebayor into the club equates to the Roy Keane scenario.Things will be going well for a while and posters on all forums will be lauding Tim Sherwood up to the heavens.Then
it will kick off and we will find it was not such a good idea after all.
Still, at least we didn't buy him outright!

If we only take him on loan, or takeover Spurs' contract, then we are mitigating against that risk.

Exactly. I don't see why people are against us loaning 1 in 2 striker who has lots of experience.

Plus, the argument against Adebayor is that he needs to be motivated properly and that if he isn't then he causes problems.

Well at the end of this loan deal he doesn't have a contract with anybody anymore. So if he wants more wages from either us or somebody else he's going to have to show over the next 11 months that he is worth it.

If we were signing him on a two or three year deal now then I'd be a bit concerned, but a year on loan and the player out of contract at the end of it? There doesn't really seem to be a downside.

[silhillvilla]

We need the experience , get him in I say .

I think its already happened and later today you will see the 2nd best Togolese player (after Sally) stretching a shirt.

If you wait till Friday, you might see him, Gestede and Veretout stretching things at BMH.

Is this to do with the facials from Sherwood?

More than likely. Poor bloke will be blowing out nothing but steam by the end of the window.
