Excellent news

I don't see how it can possibly be excellent news.  You may not like him, but if he was part of Tim's master plan then failing to secure him is not good.

I suspect Tim knows more about the teams needs and his ability to cater for them more than any of us.

While I've been one of the main supporters of getting Adebayor in, I've never liked the "manager knows better than us" line.

Why not just close the forum if that's the case?

Yes, because most of us have managed and know him as well.

I suspect he has another offer from a London based club. West Ham look like likely candidates. They would be most  welcome to him.

If any of this is true about him not wanting to move,  well then, he doesn't care about his career as a professional footballer, and he is more concerned about his lifestyle.  That is not what Villa needs.  We had one of those gobshites a few years ago,  his name was Stephen Ireland.  We don't need any more flakes to be carried by the club this season.  We've a battle to stay up on our hands.

Either West Ham or Palace to either already be in for him or to come in for him if it's true about not wanting to leave London.

If he has a home in London i can understand him not wanting to live in Brum but that is where his workplace will be so best he looks for a London club.

I think West Ham too he just doesn't seem to be a Palace type player for some reason and I think Pardew might see it as too much of a gamble to mess with a pretty settled squad of players.
