The fact ade needs the p,antes ****ing aligned to put in a performance is not good enough. I don't care how good he is when he had the best **** the night before. Or the woman who gave him a blow job the night before had ginger hair. I just want someone we can trust and rely on and not have caveat after caveat.
I want ade gone.
I want ade gone.

I have missed something...
Oh, 150 pages later, and its the usual few still whining about Ade's wages. The 'positivity'? Well, seems 'excessively negative' to me and maybe some 'point scoring' and 'one up-manship' going on. Just as well this place is moderated.

Why thank you!
I think we generally do a great job letting everyone have their say without allowing things to get too serious. Delighted you agree.
Still not sure about the ginger blow-job mind, perhaps you could help me out?

The Last Man Standing 17/18
Jay Rodriguez primarily played on the left for Southampton didn't he (Eriksen/Chadli position)?
Poch used Lambert fairly consistently at Southampton. When he could sign a striker he didn't sign a pacey striker, he signed Osvaldo. Not quite a PL target man, but definitely someone a bit strong and hold-up capable (yes, hold-up capable is now a term
For us he clearly wanted it to work out with Ade.
It seems to me that in his system he wants someone a bit big and strong that can hold the ball up, be a target for crosses and longer balls, play flick-ons etc. Long term Kane could be that #9 perhaps. He might also grow more into a #10 role. It might turn out he won't be quite good enough to be first choice for us (I obviously hope he will, and I think there's a solid chance of it).
Right now though we need options for Kane. He's too young and likely to be too inconsistent to carry that burden on his own. Soldado can't play that role, Ade seemed incapable of playing that role well under Poch and is now somewhere in between limbo, on his way out and on his way back to playing inconsistently. I think a target man is important and I think it would help the rest of our team play better.
If we could get Benteke for example, and I know he's not everyone's cup of tea, and I'm not entirely convinced he'll be good enough long term to be a first choice striker for a top 4 team either. But this season, and next, we'd be a lot stronger (literally and figuratively). I think that could be the case with someone cheaper like Gignac as well, although I haven't seen enough of him to feel as confident about that as I would with Lambert, Benteke etc.
Of course there's a cost, and an opportunity cost. If Dybala really is "the next Aguero" and we could get him and it's between him and a new target man that's better for the short term I get that it's a tough decision and one I'm glad I'm not the one making. In that case I would rather sell Soldado, Ade, Paulinho and Townsend and get both in if at all possible rather than go without a target man or with Ade as our only option to young Kane for that role.
Bottom line. I just don't trust Ade to perform. I haven't for a long time. Even when he's in reasonable form I see his name on the team sheet and I don't trust him. Yeah, once in a while he's awesome. Yeah, a decent portion of the time he's at least alright and perhaps good. I just don't feel he can be trusted.
I agree with this 100%. A target man must be our no 1 priority. Ship out the dross to fund - ie Kaboul, Capoue, Paulinho, Chiriches and Ade.

Alan Brazil on radio this morning said that he has been told that if Adebayor is still at the club end of January the manager will walk. Pinch of salt etc..

The funny/tragic thing is that nothing of this is any more ridiculous than bad juju...

Man! This month! Already my horoscope said I would be an insensitive douchebag to someone I love, my homeopath closed up shop for the holidays and my reiki healer told me I need consultations from an acupuncturist for my nose hair. I do not need bad juju too!
You are speaking from a very western elitist perspective there, and in quite a patronising way, you are equating some 1000 year old traditions and belief systems with getting a blowwie from a ginger... Know a lot about juju do you?
At least your chi is still doing whatever the fvck chi is supposed to do.
What's the part of the world braineclipse is from got to do with it?
A stupid belief is a stupid belief no matter where in the world or what culture that person is from. And there is no equating the two - a blowie from a ginger is a real thing, no matter how disgusting and evil it is (sorry gingers), juju is just made up nonsense.

Yes I am speaking from a western and elitist perspective. Although not strictly a western perspective (any more), luckily.
Patronizing... Sure. I think rationality, science and a lack of superstition is better than superstition. You got me. I don't feel bad about this. Although I don't think I equated the two, feel free to claim that I did to make sure you can be appropriately offended.
Actually one of the things Grimsby mentioned was planets aligning. Another ancient and widespread tradition. (you seemed to ignore this comparison). Another was a superstition of a more personal manner, obviously intended to be a joke. But personal superstitions are widespread in sports and have been widespread throughout history.
Please tell me about the validity of juju if you feel it has any.
I'm no expert by any means, but my understanding is it is based in shamanistic

100% agree
That's like the third time we have been on EXACTLY the same wavelength!!...
Brain is a logical modern type intellectual guy. He'll laugh off most things that arent tangible or have an element of science to it. I wouldnt take it too personally or seriously. iTs not as if his views are the only ones around

It had to be the Mum for you didnt it.
I'm pretty sure it was Ade himself who claimed his mum was throwing the bad juju at him (or whatever it is one does to transmit juju to another).
