Re: Adebayor
The most disasterous signing the club has ever made IMO. Both financially and in terms of a disruptive influence to the team.

Re: Adebayor
At least Bentley was prepared to go out on loan. Adebayor will simply go through the motions or play in the reserves collecting his £100k p/w salary for the next 3 years.

Re: Adebayor
Do you really have any evidence of this? And of the first claim, for that matter? Surely Bentley is worse...

I think that group has exactly the same number of goals in it as a group of Soldado, Defoe,Kane and Ade.

Taking everything into account between now and January (current state of mind, fitness, not a contract season) yes. I'd say there's as much chance of Kane scoring a PL goal as there is Ade.
Of course, there's one sure way to find out - tell him to go to Tromso away and do a job. That will tell us which Ade we have this season.

Re: Adebayor
Imo Ade is better off someplace else. On balance i don't want the 'risk' of him around.
Looks like West Brom were gonna let Shane Long go to Hull.
Imo worth snapping up in January as our 2/3 choice. Age 26 and can play most roles as a forward.

One game will barely tell us anything, especially for a player who hasn't done most of the pre-season and might still not be match fit yet.

Re: Adebayor
He mightn't be scoring goals, but I don't really know where people are getting the idea that Ade is a malign or negative influence around the place (and certainly not to the extent that he has to be shipped out for fear of contagian of that negativity). Is there actual evidence for that?

Re: Adebayor
I really struggle to see how that can be the case.
I'm assuming you're referring to his wages, but even at the higher end of what we reportedly pay him (£100k p/w) plus the reported transfer fee of £5m that still "only" adds up to a bit over £20m over 3 years. That's assuming that we don't get any money for selling him at some point and that he stays around for that length of time.
Bentley's fee was what, £16m? I think he easily made more than £4m from Spurs. The return of Keane was reported at somewhere around £12-14m, I wouldn't be surprised if that ended up costing us more in total than Ade will when all is said and done.
If you adjust for inflation/market prices then I think Rebrov cost us significantly more than Ade will.

Re: Adebayor
What Kane offers that's different from Soldado and Defoe I think we can get from other first team players like Sig, Eriksen or Chadli.
What Defoe offers is fairly similar to what Soldado offers and I see little evidence of them forming a functional partnership at any point.
Ade on the other hand offers something different, a physical presence, more running in the channels, someone that creates a bit of space for others. Had he been on the bench against Arsenal and in decent form I think we would have been in a much better situation than when bringing on Defoe.

Re: Adebayor
Er, he's currently not around to play against Norwich, so i would be highly surprised if he was fit to play against Tromso five days later.

Re: Adebayor
He is fit, I assume but not match fit. Tromso seems a good opportunity for him (and Spurs.)
The season starts today!

Re: Adebayor
By fit i mean ready to play. He's still on compassionate leave in Togo, no?
