Adebayor to Spurs

[moomba]

And if they say no? The truth is Spurs knows City wanna get rid off him desperately and no one can match his wages. There isnt team coming in for him except for Spurs. Even Real Madrid dont seem to be interested anymore. So Spurs knows they can wait to the last couple of days of the window and say we take him on loan and pay half of his wages......Thats still far better than he stays with you and play no football for months

Bend over for Spurs, we bend over for every club that wants to rip us off. Play hardball now and every club will know that if they want one of our players they can't take the piss (too much).

Personally I suspect Madrid will come in for Ade in the last day or so, and I'd be happy to give him away to them for free than give Spurs a leg up.

I really don't care if we let him go for free. It will save us loads on salary.

But the loss we incur will impact us badly for FFP. That's a £15m loss. If the Spuds would pay us just £8m that would be fantastic.

Its not bending over though. Adebayor is on massive wage and contributes nothing to the club. You cant let your pride stand in the way just to make a point, when it makes absolutely no sense. Its not like he's even a squad player.....he wont be named in the 25 man squad. Guys like Adebayor, Bellamy and Bridge or on contracts no one will match, so there's no way City can get rid of them without taking a hit

Well they desperately need a striker. If they want to buy one they really have to open the checkbook because a good striker is no less than 20-25 m or even more.
Adebayor is PL proven. He is comfortable in North-London.:)
He could be a right hit with Spurs and simply better quality than Crouch, Defoe.

Adebayor also knows he has to leave in order to play. He has frozen out with Mancini so he wont play again in City. His career is on stake. He thought Madrid will come for him but it seems like they dont care about Ade. It is a big hit in the face for him. "Mourinho likes me, he wants me".
(Just like for Tevez who thought the same that teams will be bidding for him well no single team came up with a reasonable offer and it is only 10 days more from the transfer window.)

So Spurs is in a special situation, Adebayor is in the same and yes City should get rid off Ade too.

Pay half of his wage and give us a loan fee, it should be 2.5-3 m pounds. That's what you pay for a striker for one year. If it's not good than buy a new striker for 25 m. Who will have big wages too.
But if Ade wont come good they can send him back end of the season. Small risk for them.

And finally if they only want to pay 65k/week or so and City has to pay the majority of his wages while he makes our rival stronger. No.

I say again Bellamy would be already at Cardiff in this case.

 

[Millennium]

If this is the case, then why we did not accepted Real Madrid offer (8m)?

 

[GeorgeHeslop'sTackle.]

Apparently it's in tomorrow's paper (didn't catch which one) that we have offered to allow him to go to Spures permanently, on a free transfer, provided they (Spures) agree to pay all his wages.

I know it will cost a few quid to pay up his contract, but can see no other alternative, as, according to Roberto, (in an interview he gave a couple of days back) we really need to start moving some of the deadwood out, to enable us to buy, before the window shuts.

As to whether, that notorious tight-wad, Daniel Levy will agree to such a deal, (at least not before a minute to midnight on August the 31st,- judging by his recent record), I seriously doubt.

did i read right that players bought in the hughes era dont count towards the ffp? if so throw all of them in with the kids, they will soon tire of not playing and will take any wage any club offer.

I dont know why people are laughing at the thought of us giving him a free transfer,i dont even reckon any takers at that if he sticks to his £175'000 waged demand.

Is it not the same as the Sol Campbell deal that took him to Arsenal? That was a free, and they paid a shit load of wages (in those days) as they had saved on a transfer fee.
