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.

I agree.

When I saw initially that we were rumoured to be buying him, with the implication of a two or three year contract, I was horrified. A loan is way more palatable.

I'm still not sure about Adebayor. Would prefer Gestede and Berbatov. Those 2 plus Gabby, Ayew and Kozak looks quite a decent set and I'm sure we would get a good pairing plus bench option. Don't see the point in taking the big risk with Adebayor, even if it is only for a season loan.

I would be surprised if Gabby is even 4th choice striker come a few months in and the new guys have settled

True, but it would be good if 2 out of Gestede, Ayew and Kozak did the business next season, and I think it's quite possible.

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 manag

I think it was to use the wrong 'your'. Apart from that I'm not to sure either.

Maybe they're stalling to announce all the signings together?
