If I was asked to go to a job where I earned less money I think I'd tell whoever suggested that to fuck off. As annoying as it is, all Adebayor is doing is making us uphold the contract we gave him and he'd likely more than happily play if we put him on the pitch.
Luckily now we are champions it's unlikely we will see players on as astronomical wages as we do now apart from the very elite, it was a nessessary evil to get to where we are today.
The thing is all football clubs do this. They go to a player playing another team, promise him the world and tell him how important he will be for them, they give him the money and he relocates and 1-2 years later they say we dont need you so go away. If that was done to me i would say fair enough, but dont expect me to half my wages because you dont want me anymore. if it was the other way around and player says after 2 years i dont want to play for you, the club would say well you have a contract. So now the player is saying well we have a contract
