Emmanuel Adebayor - Officially gone \o/

Great news if he's out the door finally. I'm assuming we'll be chucking a couple of million from our transfer profits into "compensating" him, but from a wage budget standpoint it'll free up yet more space for Pochettino to play with.

Also, being a loan presumably means he won't be able to haunt us (this season at least) by playing a blinder against us. Nice.

Would not surprise me that Adebayor wants a loyalty bonus from his final years contract, and this is what is holding up the deal. Something similar happened twice I believe, when he first joined and then when he sat in New York watching Henry whilst the rest of the squad was in pre season on the west coast preparing for Seattle I believe. A bit like our car tax now, he wants paying twice.

This is our fault really, the way he behaved when he left Emirates Marketing Project should have been a warning sign to us.
 
They can't do a loan with a view to purchase, as he'll be a free agent and can negotiate his own separate deal from January
 
There's also the scenario that if he has an exceptional season, we could exercise (our fairly standard) +1/+2 option and sell him to someone else next summer

I think there are too many problems for all parties with a loan, that it will need to be a purchase
 
They can do a loan with the option to sign him on a free he he succeeds, so playing for a contract, he will have a good season for them. Off our wage bill and can't play against us this season. I am good with that.

Their agreement with him could have an option, I think that it is unlikely though

I can't see why Ade would ever sign such an agreement.

If he has a good season then he'll have better offers than Villa. If he has a bad season then Villa won't want him anyway.

I agree. A straight season long loan would probably make the most sense for him.
 
What a total fk up he has made of his career, obviously not financially but playing wise he has just totally fked it up.
Will always be thought of badly no matter what he does now.
But you know he couldnt give a brick anyway!

They can't though. Even if they loan him for a season, he'll be free to independently sign for MLS/Turkey/Qatar in January.

No, 2 years ago. Hence Tottenham were able to make 60m profit this year.. First year we paid of debt I believe

The 3 year deal started 2 years ago went from 1.7B to 3B, they basically negotiated two set of deals close together, the next new deal starts 2016-17 and goes from 3B to 5.1B

Remember Villa have stopped spending since Martin O'Neill left the club about 2010-11.

Randy Lerner would have easily recouped the loans he paid the club in that O'Neill era.


Its why is so frustrating that we keep hearing about having difficulties financing the stadium, when ex goon players come out and say we will fill the pinch like Arsenal did.. NO we won't. TV income has gone up around 100m a year to us from 2016. With the TV deal, the new housing, the naming rights.. we could pay for the stadium in 5 years. That's without even mentioning the new revenue's when its actually built.

Most footballers only know how to waste money so listening to them talk about it is like taking notice of those great financial brains that let Greece into the Euro zone.

Massively off-topic I know, but those who wanted Greece in the Euro zone were not and are not financial brains, they're political ones. The failed socialist experiment was only deemed to work properly if it continued to subsume more and more of the surrounding countries. After all, you can't have successful capitalism going on next door showing how ineffective your economic stance is!
