Be that as it may... giving them Adebayor and paying upwards to 100k a week for it is just madness.
Adebayor suits the kind of football Spurs play perfectly.
So that everyone get's the message because it's fucking true to the T.avoidconfusion said:
Ian Ladyman has reported that us paying part of his wages, is bollocks.
He can't play against us so why fret? Spurs can make fourth, and at a very push with the squad they have and a few miracles, 3rd.
It's kind of a dirty benefit, because Spurs with Adebayor will take points from our competitors. That's without a doubt.

Ladyman, who along with Samuel, are the only only journos "in" at City has made it clear that City are briefing that they will not be paying any of his wage. I believe him whatever anyone else says on this.

would prefer a loan as he can't play against us so I don't care what else he does.
There is clearly not a problem with loaning a player per se. The issue is the precise way in which the player is paid. On the one hand, City and Spurs could each pay £90,000 per week to Adebayor. On the other, City could pay Adebayor £180,000 and Spurs could then pay City £90,000 per week. If the latter would be standard procedure, then obviously UEFA could not possibly raise an objection. But if it would be standard procedure for Spurs to pay Adebayor directly, then UEFA might be concerned by a switch to the latter procedure if it perceived it to be designed purely to circumvent the rules. Obviously the 'related-party transaction' rule is irrelevant. My concern was whether there might conceivably be some general provision that "clubs are expected to act within the spirit of the rules", a provision which could be taken into account in the inevitably subjective assessment by a UEFA panel of whether a particular club has been genuinely attempting to comply with the rules.BlueJill said:
Having said all that, your post does further reassure me. In fact, I had posted even before my reply to 'sniff' that such a loan being profitable for us under the FFP rules was the only way I could rationalize such a loan deal. And I do believe we are run by a management team that is rational and that has the FFP rules firmly in mind. As Garry Cook said: “Clearly our intention is to comply. FFP is on our conscience. We talk about it at every board meeting and it’s part of our long-term plan.”
But all this does raise the interesting possibility (which I know others have raised before) of a bilateral loan deal involving Tevez and Sneijder. City continue to pay the salary of £X to Tevez. Inter continue to pay the salary of £Y to Sneijder. Inter pay City £X for loaning them Tevez. City pay Inter £Y for loaning them Sneijder. Eureka...two clubs clearly worried about FFP arrive at a very nice arrangement. In fact, why stop at swapping just these two players? Other players could be swapped on a purely temporary basis, particularly if it was deemed beneficial for particular players (purchased before the key date) to have the experience of playing in another league.
What would the EUFA accountants and economists make of that?

Sick of hearing "he will help them take points of our rivals". These points along with the points he will help them get against the shit teams will put them close to us and there are only four places up for grabs which will be contested by at least 6 teams. This prospective loan deal is lunacy and could very well bite us in the arse.

So he cannot help them get points of us... big deal... unfortunately that's only 2 games, with 36 more to go where he can help them get points...

Harry Redknapp has admitted he could sell Luka Modric and improve his Spurs side with the cash from the midfielder's sale.

Excactly..Adebayawn could get nowt against the top teams home and away yet score against the rest ( possible 12 teams) home and away giving spuds wins in all these.
3points home and away against 12 teams is 72 points for christs sake..
not good business at all.
Nothing is impossible in football.

agree!! would rather we done a similar deal with real or a swop for diarra or even kaka!!!samharris said:
If it's a loan impossible to dress it other that a terrible piece of business.
A 3 or 4 million saving in wages is nothing In Terms of our turnover now especially when you consider the huge amount we stand to loose through player sales by showing such weakness.
Also people don't seem to understand how bad loans are in terms of ruining chances of selling players permanently. It also showns great weakness and ruins resale values. Examples. We were offered 6 million for nedum by sunderland last season. We wanted 8 million. Had a great season on loan we are now being offered 3 million. Robinho signed for 32 million. Had a great first season in the prem. Sent on loan sold for 16 - 18 million. Bellamy on loan - worthless. Same bridge.
You never get more money you only get less. It also makes us look like a soft touch, a walkover and weak in the Market in regards to player negotiation. Why would anyone sign tevez when we let 25 million players go on loan and pay their wages ?
Some people are very naive when they look at this situation.

appreciate all views - but we need to raise our sights
the improvements we have made mean that Spurs are not our challengers this season - with or without ade
we are a bit fucked if anyone really think that we will finish below spuds - if that is a case we will likely be 6th
and as he cannot play against us I think that it is a good move - he might help take a few points of the scum and chelski and that could be the difference in us winning the league

Oh and breaking they also brilliant wage structure for him on a LOAN
If we didn't act like pussies and held our nerve it wouldn't come to that. When he feels like it he is a top player he proved that last season at real
What we are being offered is an insulting piss take just about every top club in Europe would take the reported terms. So why take them from a club that could compete with us in our own league ?
Its total bullshit that spurs are the only club that would be interested in him on those sort of terms.
I would actually argue the 3 or 4 million we will save is insignificant I. Terms of the loss we will take when selling tevez and other players due to the weakness we are showing.
Personally I hope we are using their interest to draw out interest from other clubs abroad. Look at nedum and swp one club make and offer and another 2 or 3 come in.
