Emmanuel Adebayor

[KRS]

A move to West Ham would make sense for both the player and club given their current lack of striking options.

It would make sense for us too.

[OzVilla]

It'd make sense if he's interested and committed.  If not then a massive no thanks.  We've already suffered one Stephen Ireland recently, we don't need another.

Let's hope we have a plan B

From Adebayor to Berbatov?

A plan C will be the return of Carlton Cole.

A surprise signing wouldn't surprise me. Sadly I'm not expecting Embolo to start stretching the shirt, but something along those lines wouldn't, well, surprise me.

[OCD]

If he can't face slumming it in Little Aston on £5.2m for a year, we're really best without.

Sherwood's said it's not happening "at the moment". Not sure if that means the deal is completely off or if it means we might go back again before the end of the month.

Personally, while I wanted him, if it's not sorted by now, regardless of whose fault it is, time to move on and get somebody else. We're clearly lacking numbers up front especially with Robinson having gone out on loan for the season.

A surprise signing wouldn't surprise me.

So it would just be a signing?

[pauliewalnuts]

I wonder if Robinson being sent out on loan is an indicator that maybe we've got someone coming in up front?

We are still definitely one short up front

It would be a loan deal though. Bit of a difference to giving a huge long term contract to Ireland.

If it's Levy or red tape holding up the situation, that's one thing.

But if it's because he needs wooing, I really don't think we should embarrass ourselves for a player with plenty of question marks hanging over him.

You mentioned the Ireland deal, and -though I wanted it at them time- it was disconcerting that he needed so much time to be convinced.  And was probably a sign that he never truly wanted to be at the club.

Hey Villa, leave these flakes alone.

From Sky Sports Transfer Centre -
Emmanuel Adebayor’s move to Aston Villa is off for now as Tim Sherwood said the player did have talks but an agreement couldn't be found.

Sherwood said the player did have talks but an agreement couldn't be agreed, however, he hasn’t given up hope of getting a deal done with Tottenham

[mr underhill]

Sherwood also said that it wasn't just one stumbling block, there were so many he couldn't remember them all.

[passitsideways]

Let's hope our forwards start well, even if it's of the more transient sort, just so we don't feel any need to come scrambling back to Adebayor.
