Emmanuel Adebayor

[OCD]

It does sound like reporter driven rubbish. Despite who we've lost, I think most players would be excited by the start of a new 'project' and starting again with a group of new players. Adebayor must have a lot of confidence in Sherwood given their history and presumably he could have been in London talking to the likes of Palace the whole while rather than suddenly having second thoughts.

It seems much more likely that we're haggling over a loan fee and/or how much of his wages we pay. Levy's reputation backs that up.

Well there is good news after all:

But, as talks continued to drag on, Sherwood made the decision to cancel the deal and will now continue to look elsewhere for a striker to fill the void left by Christian Benteke.
Villa will not turn, however, to Dimitar Berbatov, despite the persistent link with the former Manchester United and Tottenham man but this development will come as a significant blow to Adebayor, who wanted to resurrect his career under Sherwood.

I'd say great news (figures crossed it's actaully true...).

[mr underhill]

brilliant news. another day dawns...

[Matt Collins]

Haven't the Mail reported both that adebayor was stalling and then that villa pulled the plug leaving adebayor disappointed, within the same evening?

[Clampy]

It still wouldn't surprise me if he ended up here towards the end of the window.

[Legion]

Articles in the Mail are the printed equivalent of Twatter.

I get the feeling that our negotiating team have the mind set of avoiding last minute panic buys. They have done the business so far in an admirably organised way, I don't think they would want to blot that copybook with a flurry of pants-on-fire activity.

[old man villa fan]

Adebayor goes to Villa to discuss move + nothing happens straight away = many reasons. In the 'Mail' world = a new exclusive report of b******* every hour.

[oswald funkletrumpet]

being reported that the hold up is due to him not wanting to relocate from london

[brian green]

Another Unsworth.

Not sure which Mail it is you are reading (Birmingham or Daily), but if it is so poor then why bother reading it?

[brian green]

He could always stay with SVC. Mentor extraordinary.

[pauliewalnuts]

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.

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.

It's one thing being motivated to play in the Champions League for Monaco and another to do it for a team fighting to break a sequence of relegation struggles.

He had the same ability, and was younger, at Fulham but was absolutely no use in helping them stay up and couldn't get away quick enough.

He is exactly the type of player we should run a mile from.

Until this saga I'd have taken Adebayor on loan, but I'm now thinking we should walk away from that one too. He's not worth the risk either.

[VicMackey]

If he genuinely wants to play football then it should be an easy decision - he says yes, moves house and gets to work justifying his salary.  If living in London is too bloody important then he can do one as far as I'm concerned.  If that's the real reason for this delay...
