Yep! There is no relationship between the 2 statements. . Ade makes a claim about being frozen out and being told to report on the 9th. He also said he found out this was the same with at least 6 players. The Sun then guessed who those players were in the next sentence. One has nothing to do with the other.<br /><br />-- Thu Jul 07, 2011 11:18 pm --<br /><br />SkyBlueFlux said:"I just received an email from Brian Marwood's secretary, a lady at the club called Claire, telling me to report for training on July 9.
"But when I spoke to the other players I found out the first team was leaving for the pre-season tour of the USA on July 8.
"And I heard this was the same with at least six other players."
Craig Bellamy, Roque Santa Cruz, Shay Given, Wayne Bridge, Nedum Onouha and Michael Johnson are also in the cold.
He added: "What is the point of me coming in to train and they all are in America? I will train on my own."
Erm, now call me stupid... but... isn't Santa Cruz in SOUTH AMERICA.
How on Earth could he have possibly been told to report to training on July 9th? It wont have ever been possible for him to go on the pre-season tour anyway!
Am I missing something there?
The story might be false, but the fact that it has quotes from Ade suggests it is true or else Ade can sue The Sun. As for being realistic legally, it actually is quite possible. Like I said earlier Goran Pandev won a case against Lazio with very similar facts. I am certain Ade and his lawyers know this, and so does City.Blue Haze said:Is this even true? This doesn't even seem realistic legally.
Dax777 said:Guys, if this is true Ade might have a case. I suggest you all read up on Goran Pandev v. SS Lazio. That case would serve as persuasive precedent for this one. I am not saying Adebayor will win, but he has a damned good case based on the facts as stated.
