Ade's going to go Pete Tong  I Think

He's been at The Belfry all week. If he doesn't sign today, then I think it will go tits up.

I heard he was at the Belfry, one or two have been I think

I don't think anyone has said anything like that to me before!

Buying players at their peak from smaller Premier League clubs night have made sense in the 90s but now buying someone like Bolasie from Palace would cost 15 or 20 million and we'd more than likely only recoup a fraction of that. So unless the players you sign are guaranteed to take you into the champions league all you'd be doing  is getting the club's finances in a mess again like at the end of MON'S time.

Around Europe the teams managing to compete with the super rich clubs are the ones who develop players and move them on for profit and then try and find another.

Exactly right, buying proven premiership players is what mon did and it not only screwed our finances for years but it also had a clear glass ceiling.

My 7 year old will be happy if Adebayor comes as he is one of the very few players we have signed that he's got on his match attack cards

I have a feeling this move has collapsed for reasons that will not be divulged by either club.

[mr underhill]

 I do hope so

Good I hope this is the case.

He passed the physical - they are waiting for the results of the psychoanalysis

[silhillvilla]

If he ain't interested let him rot at spurs and that worm Levy can spend another £5m on his wages . It doesn't smell right at all this one .

[mr underhill]

you can colour it anyway you like but this is only going to happen if it's a great deal for Levy/ Spurs and a great deal for Adebayor.
