Good , at least a fine . He better come with a good excuse or a sincere apology for not returning . And he better start to play football again (I don't know what he has been doing this year but it ain't football) .
I was maby a tad harsh , but that kind of behaviour really bugs me , and in his interview he just looked so full of himself after very mediocre display at a poor tournament with average teams .
Get your brick together Ade -

Late Ade cops £160,000 fine
TOTTENHAM are set to fine Emmanuel Adebayor £160,000 for returning late from the African Nations Cup.
The Togo striker was meant to report back at 3pm on Friday.
But he did not arrive in London until 6pm, despite his country getting knocked out of the tournament in South Africa on Sunday.
And even then Spurs had to send a private jet to bring back the £80,000-a-week star.
Adebayor appeared as a sub against Saudi Sportswashing Machine on Saturday but will still be fined a fortnight’s wages.
Boss Andre Villas-Boas confirmed: “We sent a jet to get him.
“He was authorised to come back on Friday but some issues arose that put that comeback in jeopardy.”

Not sure how Adebayor will react to being fined, if it is true as reported. Will he get fired up to prove his worth or will he get upset and go missing further ?

So who told The Sun he was to be fined? Sounds like a guess to me.

But I am sure AVB will want to punish him in someway. If Adebayor does not get punished, it might lead to indiscipline among other players. But is Adebayor really on 80,000 a week salary ? Thought we have a salary cap of around 60,000 a week ?

I wish one day someone would send a jet to get me.
AVB has already said that Spurs will no longer be speaking publicly about this. So if we're to talk about it at all, it's now or never. The fact that AVB said that he would be demanding an explanation from Ade for his failure to attend even one training session last week speaks volumes. AVB is keeping his counsel in public. I doubt that he will be so reserved in private.
Have to say that, from what we know of Ade's past form, I don't believe that he needs a compelling reason to behave like this at all.
It is clear from what AVB said over the past week that Ade was originally expected back in time for Thursday's 3pm training session. When it became obvious that that was not going to happen, AVB gave him permission to return in time for Friday's 3pm training session instead. That's not to say that AVB was happy with that. And it's even less likely that AVB was happy that Ade failed even to turn up for Friday's training session.
Out of frustration and sheer desperation to have our only available striker in the squad for Saturday's crucial game? Outrageous that it should have come to that.
I don't understand what you're getting at, mate. For starters, we have proper options at left back and centre back. We don't have such an option up front. More importantly, the fact that neither Benny nor Verts were picked to start is irrelevant, IMO. The real point is that they (along with Naughton and Caulker) were present at training when they were supposed to be - which gave the manager options as to who to pick in his starting XI. The same cannot be said of Ade.
Assist is stretching it somewhat but I'm happy to accept that Ade played decently, if not spectacularly well. When he came on, we instantly looked a better, more rounded unit. It demonstrated just how important it was for us to have a proper striker on the pitch - which only makes it all the more galling that our only available, proper striker went AWOL for the latter half of the preceding week and was therefore only ready to start from the bench.

We've never had a cap on the wages for a single player, it's about the squad in total. Right now we probably have Bale and Ade on close to £80K. Trimming the squad for surplus players allows us to pay the best players more.
In Ade's case, I believe that he was also paid a hefty signing on fee which, if it was spread over the duration of his contract contract, would probably add a further £20K + per week to his earnings.
