Adebayor signs for City for £22mil!
But wants to screw Arsenal for £2mil loyalty fee!
Can he do this after he has sign or must it be done before he signs? Like Eto'0!
good question, im not sure what the rules are.
this could be whats holding it up
It held up the Joey Barton (Praise Be His Name) deal to Newcastle if anyone remembers that. He had a £300,000 loyalty bonus that City refused to pay. Eventually, the bar codes came in and paid it so they could get the deal done.

Try not to take things so personally.
I'm overwhelmingly positive about the future of the club, I just think it would be better handled with a different person in charge, thats all.

Our current signings are brilliant and hopefully will continue to be lets not be downbeat about it!
Nah, though I see what you mean. It's natural to move onto the next one.
For me I'd already be happy if we just signed Ade. It would show we can really compete to get these players and that they are happy to join us.
JT would change the whole club I think. In a good way possibly but he'd become club captain and the main leader on and off the pitch.
JT is obviously even bigger but in terms of ability alone I think it's a lot easier for us to get a centre-back to do a job similar to JT than it is for us to get a centre-forward to have the impact I think Ade will.
Also, JT doesn't seem realistic so it's not something we can really get too excited about.
I heard along time ago, last game of season, about the prospect of JT comin to City and couldnt believe it and now look whats happenin!
Heard about Adebayor at the weekend when he probably heard it for the first time!
Which transfer seems most realistic!

Mirror reckons it's tied up, but he's still after a 2 mil loyalty bonus from the Arse.

Loyalty bonuses are the worst thing thats happened to football in years.
Rather than people being honest about wanting to move on, players and clubs are hiding behind statements they don't believe in, just so they can pocket an extra quid or two.
