Adebayor to Spurs for £8million?

[Happy Feet]

Give them £15 million and Adebayor for Bale.

Not sure how FFPR works on this. Would it be an advantage to City if we sold him for £18m but also subsidised his wages at Spurs. Or better if we sold him for £8m and let spurs pick up his wages in full - or doesn't it matter?

Without know the details of his contract I can only guess but wouldn't Ade would be on a better (or similar) deal with Spuds on £100k/week plus goal bonuse, appearance bonuses etc than sitting in our reserves on basic pay. Maybe he is just too thick (or too lazy) to realise basic salary + bonuses (especially if subsidised by a "cheap" transfer fee) at spurs would be equal or better than basic wage at City?

£8m is a joke, I'd have thought £12m would be fair even if still a good deal for spurs (with Spurs using £6m to subsidise his wages above their ceiling) because even Ade should recognise he is never going to get a similar contract to ours at any other club seeing as Barca, RM, rags, milans aren't beating down the door to buy him.

8million for adebayor no chance should be about 15 or 20 million or just don't sell him to them

 

[mancunial]

10 mill done he doesn't want to be at city, but for me like i said before swop for Defoe

the transfer fees and wages of Adebayor, Tevez, Bridge, Santa Cruz, Onuoha and Weiss will not count towards FFPR if we make a net loss, which we will of course.

Farce turns to ridiculous. Said we should have never loaned him to spurs they would not be where they are in the league without him.

8 million he has been one of the best forwards in the league this season. Terrible attitude but a decent player. If we are going to give him away fine but send him to juventus or similar out of the league.

Anyone saying we should sell him for that amount of money to spurs are lunatics. He's on loan till summer they want it done now so they can get him cheap his value is going up at the moment not down.

needs a 1 in front of the 8 before it becomes realistic
still has 18 months on his contract

My thoughts exactly- Defoe would get the goals we need to win the league.

Bowdo on text, via 81111: "My brother works to Spurs website, Adebayor is to sign a permanent deal with them... As Defoe goes to City! Replacement for Tevez? Will Harry get another striker

 

[alera]

Defoe is Going on 30 FFs and has done nothing for years. Can't understand why people want to bend over for Harry and spurs.
