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.”
An Alpha male would never wear orange boots or dye their hair…
Or practice nancyboy goal celebrations
I actually think that any goal accompanied by a nancy-boy celebration should just be chalked off. Likewise if a goal is scored by anyone wearing gloves it shouldn’t be allowed to stand (goalkeepers are exempt from this rule, of course). I’m happy to throw pink/yellow/orange boots into the mix as well.
Maybe that has been happening all season and that’s why we have been shafted by refs so many times.Its probably an accumulation of offences,eg More than 5 full tattooed arms = -1 goal,More than 6 mohicans = obvious penalty turned down,7 pairs of gay bar footy boots = 2 bookings….etc
In which case we have no one to blame but ourselves. Good call on the tats, too. Forgot about them.
How about having long hair or having to wear a hairband?
It’s a minefield, isn’t it?
Or plucked eyebrows- waxed chests- hair transplants- nail polish- vibrating mobile phones, (you know who you are A.C.).
Most money-grabbing footbalers can go take a hike as far as I’m concerened, but Ade has gone on record as saying the reason he asks for such a high salary is so that he can help those less fortunate than himself in his home country. Such an attitude commands nothing but respect from me and as has been pointed out above, if THFC can make up the difference in any salary shortfall by building a few schools/hospitals in Togo then everyone’s happy, surely?
Bringing up Ade’s assists is a little unfair when comparing him to Defoe as Defoe doesn’t actually know what an assist is!
I’m pretty certain JD was the little 10-11 year old who got the ball off his own striker, when through on goal, and scored himself. Probably the only way he’d score without being offside. I like JD, but not as a first teamer at Spurs just third striker. He’s just not as good as he should be. Women on his mind all the time, the cad.
Bring back SUPER PAV !!!!
If you add up all* his goals he was more prolific than Lineker, Klinsmann, or Jimmy Greaves !!
Sure Adebayor is a better all round player and classier and scores all his in the EPL and provides assists and makes us tick. But he is not SUPER PAV is he?? No way.
Please bring back our mostest prolifficest striker.
*including goals scored against nobodies and in training and whilst playing FM at home
If he loves us he will take a pay cut.I always thought Adebeyor had a reputation getting a contract and performing less well.
