Re: Official - Adebayor
Has Adebayor actually had a pre-season with us? Why play someone who isn't fit?

Re: Official - Adebayor
That is my point good Pro's don't let fitness levels drop dramatically end of season, he has had problems wherever he has played, internationally, Arsenal, City, Madrid, AVB is massive on team spirit Ade does not fit that criteria, I am talking about attitude here not ability, I know it's a changing world but when I think of him compared to say Perryman it makes me weep.

Milo I cannot be bothered to look that up but he came back later than he should, he is unreliable to say the least.

My humble advice would be to not ever bother comparing any modern Spurs to the likes of Stevie P, Garry Mabbutt, Pat Jennings...come on mate. With a comparison like that you are obviously 100% right, but that goes for most of them!

Tbh i automatically think posters that make comments similar to what Jimmy has made live a sheltered life and haven't gone through any/much personal tragedy.

Re: Official - Adebayor
Everyone has tragedy that is life, I certainly have not lead a sheltered life, as a matter of fact exactly the opposite lol, he is a public fiqure and he has the hopes of ten of thousands resting on him every week he is also bloody well paid for it, I tell you what lets give him a clean slate from when he decides to honour us with his presence and see how long it takes for him to disappoint again.

Steff, one word "honour" without it you are worth nothing in my eyes ( this is getting deep ).

I don't think you can measure responses to 'personal tragedy' with wealth or expectation. Sometimes poor religious people handle it better because of their beliefs (I speak from knowledge) - Expecting Ade to do better because he has fans and has a lot of money is misguided IMO. That is - if I am reading your post correctly.

Re: Official - Adebayor
I was not equating personal tragedy will wealth, the loss of loved ones unexpectedly is incomparable but we all will or have to go through this at some time, as for Ade doing well I would be quite happy if he just turned up now and again.

Re: Official - Adebayor
I think you are being harsh criticising him for taking time to deal with the death of his brother as people grieve in different ways, but I agree 100% about the unrealiable part. I honestly don't think he has the hunger to be a top player.

Well there's no African Nations this season so really nothing to stop him or interrupt his rhythm.

Re: Official - Adebayor
I would have to agree with you there..
His brother died, i have no idea how close he was to his brother, I can't guess how long it would take him to get over something like that, let alone judge him for not playing football whilst he does.
After all, football is just a game at the end of the day.
He's a controversial figure, I can understand the 'he should keep himself fit pre-season' and the 'he's not been consistent (though i think he's just had two consistent years, one consistently good and one consistently not), but the 'he should play football when his relatives die' takes the biscuit really.
There would be nothing to be gained by attempting to 'force' him to come back and play for us, it would likely just lead to massive issues between the player and AVB/whoever told him to come back.
