No nothing at all. Just passing time and venting my frustration!

What at? We could be signing a player on a short-term deal who scores goals. I can't understand the problem.

A short term loan deal for a striker that our manager has already got the best out of him. Sign him up for crying out loud!

The media say Levy is a genius at negotiating deals so it must be true.

Bitter Arsenal fans who never forgave Adebayor for leaving for a more successful club and sad, Small Heathesque, Tottenham fans who never forgave Adebayor for playing for Arsenal say he's trouble. Even though he's scored goals whenever he's been a regular starter throughout his career and nobody seems able to provide any evidence of him being trouble.

He just is.

For some reason.

Well that's fine if you see it that way. I see it as a big mistake and what's wrong with that?

I'd imagine Adebayor is desperate to get back to playing football and forget his family problem if the message he posted on Facebook I read in the Torygraph is anything to go by. Poor (though stupidly rich) fella.

It could be a big mistake if we gave him a long term deal and it all went tits up, but from what I've read it's a season long loan deal. If it goes wrong he leaves at the end of the season.

To be fair on arsenal fans , that goal celebration was a wanky thing to do at CiŁy v arsenal. Imagine Benteke doing that if he scores for the dippers vs us

Wanky or not, it makes no difference whatsoever to how good a player he is. Besides, Arsenal fans were baiting him all game because, as I said, they couldn't accept that he'd moved to a more successful club.

I'll be delighted if he scores for us against them and does the same. The moaning but still happy to pay Ł1,000 a year for a ticket wankers.

Looking forward to you being so magnanimous if Delph does the same against us this season.

FWIW Adebayor seems to have had some kind of breakdown over the summer. All that stuff with his mom, for example.

Although I would take him on a season loan, I totally understand anyone who just thinks it is asking for trouble. I think there's a pretty decent argument to be had that having one player picking up 100k in a dressing room full (now, anyway) of players earning way, way less isn't great for unity.

I'd also wonder what sort of attitude he'd have coming here, after Arsenal, Man City and Spurs, given our recent state.

Whenever interviewed he comes over as a totally self absorbed human being, he is also known to refer to himself in the 3rd person. I have watched him in games where he clearly does not give a fuck because things are not going for him. It will just be a matter of time before an there is an incident and this is the last thing we need when trying to unite new players into a team.

The picture of him sat on the bonnet of his gold plated Rolls Royce kind of says enough about him. Whilst I'd probably lust after him banging in the odd goals in August and September I cannot see it being a successful loan across 12 long months. Too much baggage on reflection.

Well, he'll fit in well with our manager then won't he?

Has Sherwood ever done that? I never noticed it. Its always a bit of a red flag.
