Emmanuel Adebayor - Officially gone \o/

SpurMeUp said:
Hopefully not. We're better off with an on form Kane. But you don't know what will happen. Ade could come on as a sub and save a game, Kane injured or tired etc etc. We have options and despite being many things, he can play at a high level.

I would be overjoyed to see an inform Ade get some game time in the second half of the season. It would obviously benefit us but would also help us sell him in the summer.

Emmanuel Adebayor has told #SSNHQ that he was pleased that the club offered him out on loan. The striker confirmed five clubs were interested in him and he chose West Ham, but Tottenham said no because of their rivalry.

fudge him.

Only part of the interview to be fair...! What was he supposed to say the club were trying to force me out..! Thought the interview was quite balanced and honest

So are QPR, so are Palace...the Qatari thing? I get that. And the Turkish clubs (Besiktas were who I heard) wanted him but were never going to get remotely close to subsidizing him the way DL wanted... look, whatever, I just don't think anyone ends up looking good out of this situation. The reality is we gave him the contract and now we have to I've by it. My true frustration is with DL. Should've let him go IMO. West Ham a rival/ They might well have taken points off others around us, which would've helped us!

This is exactly how I see it.
We are never gonna get rid of him in the summer unless he has a decent spell on loan.
If Poch wants him gone Levy's stupid games with West Ham shouldnt get in the way.

I watched the away game against Sheff Utd again yesterday and at the end the camera was on Eriksen, having felt for a while he don't like Ade from body language and interviews after the games the cameras show Ade celebrating John Terry style and he jumps on Eriksen and gives him a choke hold. Eriksen is like get the fcuk of me you clam. lol his face is a picture.

Earlier this season (maybe late last) Rose/Lennon scored and ran toward the corner flag. A followed and went to ground, while scorer and everyone else stayed on their feet and wheeled away. At the time I sensed he was so out of tune with the team. I might have mis-judged the situation, but he looked so uncomfortable at what had happened and his isolation, whereas everyone else was part of the party.

If a man like Tim Sherwood can get the best out of him then it can't be rocket science. Football is littered with people that need something extra to get them going, anyone that denies that fact lives in dreamland.

I don't think he's contract Ade, I think he's fudge you Ade. Playing well for Harry was a fudge you to Mankini. Playing well for Tim was a fudge you to AVB. Exhibit A, running the length of the pitch to celebrate in front of the gooners. His next good performance will be a fudge you Levy.

If Sherwood had stayed on for three years, I do not think that you would have seen Ade maintain that form over that period.
 
Ade is a 'victim' of a manager who has decided to try and build a side for years (and a system which last beyond his tenure) as opposed to a short-termist who is only interested in their own immediate gain. This is NOT the fault of the player, it is circumstance versus a real manager/coach REALLY doing their job with pride. Sherwood got Ade working again and it wasn't difficult; he made him 'the man' and I think when you do that with Ade, he delivers. The problem is, Ade is a 1 in 3 player (generally speaking) and you could never be sure how long he was going to stay/be a non-disruptive presence. Again, not a knock on him, it iOS his personality. I happen to believe he is actually a great bloke, but he is character. And he is in his late 20s, not getting any younger. Poch has firmly invested himself in youth/developing and bringing through youth. I think Kane's emergence saw him become the man, and obviously Ade was not best happy. You wouldn't want him to be! But whereas before he ran the dressing room with a few others, now Poch and his youngsters do. It isn't personal. It's simply 'work hard, work my way or it's best you head off because you won't be a regular here'...

Sherwood once again showed his are with all that Kane stuff a couple of days ago. He absolutely contributed to his career (churlish to say he didn't) but then he goes and explains how getting the best out of Ade means making him 'the man' and suggesting Poch might want to do that. Poch doesn't. Nothing personal. And Ade? He will/should go somewhere that he can have a great impact in a short amount of time and be 'the man'...I genuinely believe the MLS/Red Bulls would be a tremendous move for him. Again, until he is no longer our player, he has my support every time he wears our shirt.
 
Cringed at some of the posters on the last 2 pages. So much BS vented about the guy that should be directed elsewhere.

I wanted him gone this window but only if we could replace him - we couldn't and tbh I am glad that he didn't go on loan if all we had was Soldado as back up (if you can call him that). We would have been left so short and not had a prayer should Kane get injured. Ade playing like a drain this season has still had more impact than Bob and will continue to do the same in the second half of the season, of that I am sure.

Adebayor has had more impact this season with 3 goals/assists (2/1) than Soldado, who has 8 (4/4)?

How does that work out then?

I asked similar earlier in this thread; can you explain this and give some examples please?

As long as Levy hasn't wrecked what's left of his confidence with these latest shenanigans then yes, probably (although I think we had enough and I believe you're being unfair on Bobby)...it's sometimes as much about the vibe of the team it's shape/workrate as it is individuals being on form. I think under Sherwood and others you'd have been right, but for Poch I suspect not so much. Put it this way, we all win if we support the man in the shirt whenever he is wearing it on the pitch for us. It's our duty as supporters IMO.

...one thing some people miss about Bobby mate, is that he works his gonads off despite the fact it simply has not gone for him here/he's been asked to play against his instinct. He had that horrendous miss against Burnley in the cup, yet kept his head and delivered a wonderful assist second-half. He keeps looking for the ball, he never hides and he contributes to the overall shape/style of play which allows us to work as a unit.

Don't know what **** went on behind the scenes but it's ironic that Ade's biggest contribution so far this season was slagging off our fans for booing because it marked a major watershed in our fortunes, the turning point for Pochetinno, the fans and the club.

Whatever you think of him it took guts to do that and let's be honest it needed saying.

If anything because Ade probably has a relegation release clause and would have been playing elsewhere ;)
