Adebayor (continued)

Does anyone know where Adebayor actually is?

He can't be training with Spurs, he's not training with us... how come we bend over backwards again to pay him £170k a week for his extended holidays?

Why are we still being seen as such a fucking soft touch?

Whoever is in charge of this deal from our end needs a good bollocking. Get him down to Platt Lane for the next ten days doing an eight hour shift with the kids. Make it unpleasant for him to remain, let him know what the next two years will feel like!

Same goes for Michael Johnson...
 
Dont think anything will happen with Adebayor before the last week of August. So 10 days more before we see real movement. Until that he earns huge weekly cash at us and not at his new club.

Levy isn't the genius that many (including all Spurs fans) give him credit for. He's been at Tottenham for 11 years and in that time he's employed half a dozen managers and the club has won a single League Cup.

Last year Chelsea offered £40million for Modric but Levy chose not to sell, this season he'll go for around £30million maximum, a decision that cost his club in excess of £12million and they finished in the Europa League.
Dont like Spurs particularly but TBF they finished above Chelsea in the League and if Barca (Messi) and Bayern (Robben) hadnt missed penalties in CL they would be in that comp. above Chelsea. In addition many supporters think Fulop was corrupt in the last game against Arsenal and Spurs should have got 3rd place in PL. (If this was Olympics Fulop would probably have been publicly disgraced like in the Badminton).

Don't agree with this with relatively low spending they have achieved two 5th place finished, carling cup and two 4th place finishes.

He was in charge, he gambled and lost; it's his fault regardless of circumstance. It's not just hindsight that suggests taking the £40million from Chelsea and investing it in the squad would have been a wiser decision, he was also left with a player that was far from 100% committed to the cause.

You cant deny he was extremely unlucky last season that 4th place was not enough to get CL football and corruption probably denied him 3rd place.

It's a bit harsh to jusge a CEO/Chairman on the strength of one transfer deal.

Look at his acheievements Spurs over the past 5-6 years... outstanding.

Less money thn Liverpool and have eclipsed them. Less money than City and topped them only two years ago.

Less money than Chelsea and topped them last season.

While he might be following the Arsenal business model of "doing just enough", it's a far cry from the days when Spurs were a slap-bang middle of the table club of just a few years earlier. If we hadn't have won the lottery, we would all be on here begging for a CEO of that quality.
 
With Ac Milan and Juventus desperate for a big forward, if we are going to give him away why not give him away to a club out of the league ?

I just dont get it. The deals rumoured for this player make us a laughing stock.

The beggars of europe are always on the look out for good players for no money send him over there I say or he can play in the reserves side.

Its got to a point where we have to make a stand with players like this. Worked with Tevez.

Just on Defoe, lets put the cards on the table he is a bit shit these days. He did nothing last season and very little the season before. Hes also injury prone and getting on a bit. They are also just about the loose Modric, their best player by far who made most of their assists. They wont be able to replace with anything like equal quality.

I just wouldnt deal with Spurs anymore. If he wants a free he can have a free out of the premier league.

We didn't win the lottery... We had the best potential for growth and the best infrastructure already in place.
