Emmanuel Adebayor

[cdbearsfan]

How many other signings do we need? We've only just broke even, I'd guess, over this Summer. If we can get Adebayor there's no reason why another couple of players can't be brought in too.

As many as we are allowed in a squad I guess to ensure that a few injuries don't see us struggling again.

[cdbearsfan]

We're most susceptible to injuries up front, bearing in mind Sherwood likes to play with a big forward. We only have two and one of them has just come back from two years out. Adebayor, as well as being a target man, will also provide a bit of skill and experience.

Currently we are £6.86m up

Defenders are boring so I reckon use it to pay for Adebayor or chuck it all on one number at the casino. If we win, we can buy Messi!

It's starting to look like Lerner isn't putting any money into it this summer. Not good if it transpires to be so.

[cdbearsfan]

Can't really make that judgement when we're currently spending money at the rate of Barry Austin in a kebab shop.

Let's wait until 1st September to see what the net spend is.

How the bloody hell have reached that conclusion?
It's not as though we've been tardy on spending money, and the pace with which these deals are getting done, it must be almost impossible to have got more deals done.

 £50 to Acorns from me if we end up cash neutral or positive at the end of the window, if you'll match it if we're cash negative at the end of the window.

It comes back to how much we are having to pay towards his wages. Unless Spurs are willing to subsidise the majority then I don't think it is justifiable given what it takes out of the pot available for other signings. I suspect it is haggling over this that is delaying a move that the press have been trailing for weeks.

If we get that sorted then it is worth doing in the hope that we get a repeat of the last time he played for Sherwood.

That does appear to me to be the most likely reason for the delay, but I feel confident that Fox & Co are capable of dealing with Levy and his team much more effectively than with our previous encounters.

We have made so far I think 5 first 11 signings with another striker to shortly come in who'll be first choice. If not Gestede will be that.

Surely that's enough?

Aye, the old regime would have paid 200% of his wages if Levy asked 'em too.

Currently we are £6.86m up

We are not in cash in hand terms as full Benteke money will arrive  in the future and I bet we had to pay cash to the French clubs. So even if mancity paid upfront for W*anker  number one we have paid out more in cash so far.

[edgysatsuma89]

I don't regret using the word div.

We used to say 'am I boat' to replace 'am I fuck', and 'chatting bare pup' to replace 'talking shite'. I never understood why.

"am I boat" has just brought another childhood memory sailing back from the late 70's / early 80's. I have no idea why either. Given that this was a Smethwick / Langley childhood I'd always assumed something to do with canals and narrow boats.

Well I'm from Smethwick (still am, in Bearwood) so there probably is something in that.

I agree with what's being said on Adebayor. I expect this to take quite a bit longer due to haggling with that prick.

Pleae, please don't get him started on basic football economics.

I don't know how you can come to that conclusion.
