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.”
as for King Kenny ,I don’t think the yanks could understand a word he said.
I doubt he thought they would ask him to come over the pond and sack him when he arrived,I wonder if he threw a wobbly?
Adebayor and a central midfielder who can play a game every four years are the only thing standing between us and the title…. Oh and Capello.
Ugh Central DEFENDER, Damn not sleeping all night doing dodgy presentation for the Saudis.
keep your head!
‘Gareth the whitey’ :-p :finn: :winke:
As for Ade……He’s been very positive, has grafted hard on the grass… and has had 3 legit goals against due to poor officiating. He’s an asset I hope the board keep on either by a loan deal or otherwise.
He’s is a breath of freash air around the place.
The reason Adebayor gets such good press on this site despite his appalling first touch, being shockingly one footed, rarely scoring a goal out of nothing (like when he ran the length of the pitch for Citeh v Gooners) and the low % of chances converted is because currently we have nobody else who comes near to him in terms of class. It is a classic one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind scenario.
He is definitely worth keeping but let’s not build the team around him and praise him as the Messiah because we need another two like him, if not better, if we are going to compete properly next season. There is one reason overriding reason why we never finished third and that was a lack of goals against average teams where we otherwise dominated.
You are 100% correct. Funny how easy it is to flatter some people with a little lip service. I’d like us to sign him, but he’s not great. The last time we had a comparable team which played with two wingers and one up front there was a little guy who can still be seen at the ground who scored nearly 50 goals in a season!
Get him in
