I hope Adebayor move off for good.

Me too, we don't need him with Gestede coming in. Can't imagine him being a happy camper as second choice behind Gestede and that's a headache we could do without. Think the odds on this signing being a disaster have increased with the news Gestede is on his way
Agree on both of these posts.

I think it will be great to have them all fighting for positions, we get an injury to one, maybe two, who cares, others are waiting to take there chance.
If Adebayor plays his face, then he won't get game time.
Personally, I feel he will realise this is his last chance to secure a possible contract next summer, he can put himself in the shop window, he loves money so I expect him to have a big big season for us.
Be interesting to see what he can do against his former clubs with us.

Lunch at 15.07? I think not. Adebyor has heralded more new dawns than a herd of Druids. If we get one good season out of him before he gets bored, then great. A loan is ideal as wouldn't want xto get lumbered with his extravagant wages and rider demands- i hear he insists on being addressed as Addy The Great by the entire staff before every game.

If he scores a hat-trick against Man Utd then I'm happy for him to be called whatever he wants.

We usually assume that if a player gets that far, it is a formality that they will sign. But for the players themselves, that initial visit might just be part of the decision process. Or everything might be fine on that front, but the deal falls through for other reasons.

Think of a job interview and how many times would you be signing up before you saw the place of work and the facilities? I would imagine its a similar process to any job and that you get  "feel" that the place is right for you

Personally I have a bad feeling about Adebayor signing for us, but as it is on loan I will wait and see.

Knowing Villa if he scores 3 in his first 10 games we will probably give him a 4 year contract on £100k a week!

I'd like Adebayor to join on loan. It's always very useful to have a proven consistent goal scorer. I don't see the problem in a loan at all.

Same. It could be great for Gestede to learn from. Especially as he's considered to be fairly raw.

You can't knock his goals scoring record wherever he's been. He's proven and responds well to our manager.

A loan is a fantastic signing if it comes off.

My opinion of him is he is damaged goods with baggage

They have Harry Kane, he's matured into the position. Spurs  fans have never taken to him because he's Arsenal.

His goal scoring record for Spurs is still 35 in 87.

I still reckon Timmy will want a couple of strikers in, hopefully Gestede will be one and Adebayor won't be the other.

Adebayor represents a huge risk in terms of goals and team morale I would rather take that kind of risk on Balotelli

Can't say he's a risk in terms of goals,he's scored them everywhere he's been & there's been some big clubs included in that.

Balotelli would probably cost about £15 million and be on a four year plus deal. Surely that's more of a risk than Adebayor for a season?

I wouldn't piss on Balotelli if he was on fire.
