Guten Abend, meine Lieblinge.
If ever there was a modern day footballer tale worth turning into a movie then it’s that of Adebayor. How so? A plot that includes playing and scoring goals at the very highest level domestically, internationally and even on one occasion under machine gun fire. Moving from Arsenal to City, ‘that’ slide and now these quotes.
He came to us certainly not for the money and definitely not for the frills. Why he came I do not know. Maybe he likes playing Yahtzee with Benny on the bus to away games. Maybe he enjoys practicing bad dance moves with Gareth the whitey.
What I do know is his unselfishness and his goals overall contributions have been nothing but a breath of fresh air. We haven’t had a striker who offers so much in a dog’s age. We really haven’t.
This club needs men in the Lilywhite who actually want to be in that shirt of ours. As per the Dalglish piece earlier, emotional investment is a key element when you’re following a football club.
Is he the Messiah? Who knows or cares, but if we can land the very lovable lunatic at the right money then I couldn’t be happier. And more to the point it’s my belief that his current team mates would be equally delighted.
Levy & Co. are far from daft and I’m confident they will make the right choice.
‘I don’t know yet whether I’ll be here or not next year but my first choice now would be to stay at Tottenham. I am not going to go on my knees and beg anyone this is for others to sort out.’
“I am a huge fan of Tottenham now and I love the club. If I am not at the club in the future, I will be following their games and wishing them luck. I played at Arsenal for three years but today I keep Tottenham in my heart more than Arsenal, even though I haven’t played here for as long.”
I heard some terrible news today apparently we had representatives in blackburn trying to strike a deal, for hoillett and ……Yakubu with bentley going in the opposite direction on loan for a season
sounds like someone has been pulling your giraffe there bro. HR wouldn’t… couldn’t… could he?
ha ha yeah mate! i thought i’d re-post it for a giggle, but tbf the more i thought about it the more I thought its not beyond the realms of possibility with old arry! theres cheap and old and then there’s the yak! I can forsee a cheeky bid for rossi going in, fallen off the radar through injury, heavily linked and would be going a lot cheaper than a year ago, would be more likely now theyve gone down i’d take him and sign up ade! we’ll leave yakubu as plan z
I reckon more likely Levy has sent Harry off on a bus to Blackburn to look at the Yak while he gets on with the actual business of signing players Harry’s never heard of. (Remy, Vertonghen etc)
I’ve never really been a big fan of Adebayor’s but I have to admit, he says all the right things……… :daumen:
maybe city will do another season loan! i can’t see any club offering him more than 90k a week unless they can sign him on the cheap.
More likely would be Levy negotiating a knock down price with City and giving the balance to Ade in a signing on fee. In other words I reckon he’s worth about 15m – if we can get him for 12m Ade can scoop the 3m and sit on our “paltry” wages.
Have to agree H, he adds a smile to our football!
Whilst we can’t be flies on the wall of the dressing room and players lounge to know what really happens, we can get some insights from what we see on the pitch.
In my view tho’, Adebayour’s arrival lifted the mood and everyone revelled in his enjoyment of playing; his enthusiasm was infectious and brought the elements of VdV, Bale and Modric together….you only had to look at the genuine delight in the faces as we scored and won games.
I get the impression he’s a larger than life character and is a great catalyst in the team enjoying their game….. its also worth noting when he’s off his game and smiling less or not at all, the team doesn’t seem to have the same spring in its step.
He’s good value on and off the ball and I reckon on and off the pitch. If we could get Vertonghen in this week then cut a deal with Ade, we’ll have a much less troubled time keeping Bale and Modric in their boxes and send a message to any of the players we might target that WHL is a good place to be…… the word circulates throughout the extended world of the players via gossip, twitter, facebook, etc. With the Euros coming it’s a good message to be sending out!
I would like him to stay, If he apologised for those goals he scored against us that would go a long way.
Now we know that the red scum is not in his heart. As a lot of his wage is going to charity in Togo his wages are probably taxed beforehand , Why not the club set up a foundation and pay the equivalant to the charity and claim exemption for it some money could get saved that way,
I’m sure arry and his accountant could suggest something.
‘I’m sure arry and his accountant could suggest something.’
Maybe even Redschnappes dog in Monaco.
