Emmanuel Adebayor

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

If we are objecting to that attitude from Adebayor - and if that's how he is, then we should be objecting - surely Berbatov, last seen desparately scrambling to escape Fulham during a relegation battle, is another one to avoid.

These two strike me as two players who would just cause problems and not be worth the trouble.

To be honest none of us have any idea what's going on and there really is nothing to say he is f*cking us around anymore than Levy is f*cking both us and him around. If he really is holed up in the Belfry then it doesn't smack of someone who isn't sure if he wants to come, it smacks more of someone desperate to not go home until it's done....who knows.

All I do know is I have more faith in him doing something this season for us than Berbatov...not sure why, I just have.

Nobody really knows what's going on. It does seem odd that we don't know one way or the other yet when negotiations began roughly when Ask Jeeves was popular.

If we don't get him, I hope we have a plan (B), and that it doesn't stand for "Berbatov".

The Daily Fascist says he doesn't fancy it. Hopefully this is true and he can go to Palace instead.

If any of that is even slightly true then we should avoid him at all costs. Not at all what we need attitude wise.

[Drummond]

There's probably loads if shenanigans going on. It might be a smokescreen by us and him to get Spurs to take more of the salary. He could, be grumpy. We might be fucking about or Levy is being a twat.

[Holte L2]

Is it just me, or are we giving him really good chance to get back on track here?

If he can't be arsed enough, then, as villalion says, fu*k the fuc*er, move on.

That's the part that's baffling me.  We're giving him a cracking opportunity to show his talents.

If he doesn't fancy it, we need to quickly move on.

Transfer funds permitting I'd love to see us continue with the French theme and go for Alexandre Lacazette

If the Daily Mail wrote an article tomorrow about us having signed 3 players called Jordan I wouldn't believe it.

[supertom]

If he doesn't fancy it, perhaps it's because he doesn't have it in him to try and win a place from Gestede, Ayew and Kozak? He may just prefer one of the low end London clubs where he might have less competition for a starting place.

This could be one of those moves that happens on the last day of the window, but honestly, I don't think he's worth the wait at all.

[Phil from the upper holte]

In all reality I don't think any of us are that arsed if he comes or not

[silhillvilla]

I honestly think he'd rather sit on his arse and earn £100k a week than actually play football. Bit like that bloke at Chelsea who did it for 4 years. Bogart was it ?

[KevinGage]

You can pick out decent seasons goalscoring-wise during Adebayor's career.

But even at those times, he was seen as volatile and a player that would go missing quite a bit.  I don't think that aspect of his game has improved with age.

Previous records are important when it comes to judging a player (or manager), but in the same way that Houllier's career was clearly winding down when he joined us, Adebayor's looks like it is on the slide.

I wouldn't back him to get 15-20 goals for us or any other topflight side next season.

Difference being one was still cutting it in the Champions league and looking a good player for Monaco, and would add something totally different too us.

I think that's nail on head time

[saunders_heroes]

None of us really know what the reason for the hold up is. It could be Levy playing hard-ball again, but whatever it is I hope we get him. He's got a touch of class about him on the pitch and Sherwood can get the best out of him.

[KRS]

Sounds like bolx to me. If that story is true then why would Adebayor give a flying fuck about our potential league position if its just a loan for one season? There are other non-mental experienced players that would do a better job so move on.
