Does everyone on here think that the club is totally stupid? Do you think that there's someone out there willing to pay big money for Adebayor and we are CHOOSING to loan him to Spurs instead? What if the only other option available to the club is to keep him on the books and pay all his wages? Lets say he's on 160k (and I have no idea how accurate that figure is) and Spurs are willing to pay 80k. That means we've saved circa 4 mill over the course of the loan, plus Spurs will probably have the option to buy at the end of the loan and even if they don't exercise this option, he will have been in the shop window and away from the rest of the squad where he would probably have been a sulking/unhappy pain in the arse. Maybe it's not ideal, but it's not the terrible option some make it out to be.
