Emmanuel Adebayor

Get Berbatov in. Would be much better for us if Ade has that attitude.

[mr underhill]

He didn't realize then that had Benteke stayed, he wouldn't be joining anyway?

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

well, the close of another day. I guess he's still at The Belfry? I wonder what he's going to have for tea?

I think they call it "dinner" at The Belfry.

Which makes me think, "what did he have for his dinner?".

Which they call "lunch" at The Belfry.

So, like you mr u, I wonder what he's having for his tea?

[villabear]

Surely he knew the score before he came and had a medical and a meet with Sherwood.

The more it drags on and the more room service he orders it's looking less likely.

I think Spurs lack of transfer activity especially in the striker department isn't helping the deal along. 

Move on and go again?

[Madferret62]

High tea and supper do keep up.

I know it's the Daily Mail but they have an article on news now, he is reluctant to come because we have lost three key players and might be involved in another relegation scrap. Yes mate, but you will be playing for the reserves at Tottenham. Walk away Tim. Surely we can go elsewhere and save the money for another target?

I wouldn't believe anything I mean anything the Daily Heil prints. I can't see AB saying that.

[cdbearsfan]

Maybe he's waiting to see if Delph does a U-turn?

[DeeBoy1]

Whispers on Twitter claiming the hold up is we want the loan to automatically convert to permanent as long as we don't drop but Ade wants a guarantee of staying no matter what....believe / make of that as you will.

[mr underhill]

bullshit i'd imagine. I would hope we weren't automatically converting anything to permanent unless he meet a long list of performance targets

Surely at this stage of Adebayor's career it's about playing football. If he wants to ensure a bumper final last contract then it's the type of footballer we want at the club.
I'd hoped he'd be more willing, knowing he was going to enjoy playing for a year under a manager that trusts him. Rather than rotting in Spurs reserves.

I was all for this transfer, now I'm starting to have my reservations.

To be honest at this stage of his career and given his options I'd say his pay packet is a concern at the very front of his mindset.

That would be a wn turn overall, wouldn't it?

[cdbearsfan]

I think it would be an s-shaped slither.

[boboonthecorner]

He is worried about fighting a relegation battle at Villa? Cheeky ******. He should feel privileged that were showing an interest, let Palace have him.

Would have thought Adebayor's best bet would be just a loan and become a free agent in 12 months.
