Adebayour to spurs 8 mil?

Re: Adebayor

Samuel Eto'o.

Yeah, he'd have jumped at leaving Milan to come to mid-table City for £100k a week...

Be serious mate.

I'm not sure why everyone seems to get hung up on what fee we should pay for a player and whether or not he's worth certain wages.

It's not your money.

I still pay the same admission fee (relatively) as I did when Gerry Creaney and Laurent Charvet were our big signings.

If we sign no one ever again I will still be paying my season ticket every season. I'm really bemused as to why the panic has set in so early?

We usually leave it till nearer the end of a season...

He was at Barcelona at the time and was interested in coming to us but had a protracted stand-off with them over his 'loyalty bonus'. Serious enough?

Hmmm...

I say that the reason why we paid Adebayor the ludicrous sum of £170k a week (allegedly) is because it was the only way we could get him to sign for us. He was the best option for us at the time.

I suggested that otherwise we'd have ended up with Rodallega or Bent had we paid less wages.

You then mention Eto'o. Bearing in mind I suggested Adebayor was the best we could attract, I'm surprised your alternative was Eto'o given that you admit we wanted him... and we couldn't attract him!

I really don't get your point mate. Adebayor was the best we could get at the time... unless you know different...

Adebayor

Because we have arrived and now we are here, we want to stay here. We need to press on and make sure to build on what we have.

Chelsea have declared war this summer and United will be thereabouts as always.

Missing on Hazard was a gutter, but we need to move on and strengthen our weaknesses. CB, CM, Wing and Forward to replace outgoing one should Dzeko or Tevez move.

I am with Soulboy on this, the squad we have is superb, ther flapping on here is embarrassing. Does anyone really think Bobby signed a new 5 year deal without knowing there is big money to be spent, he is no mug - we will spend it, we are just biding our time, doing things properly, relax a bit

I'm not flapping. I'm just making a case for those that are.

Let's not get too carried away though. We won the league on GD and United were without their best defender in Vidic and they have since strengthened. We got off to a flyer in the league and we must again. I just feel we have inadequate cover at CB and no real CM quality bar Yaya. We have a single winger in Johnson.

Well said, but the problem is that RVP is the ONLY player that seems close to City !

I hate Platini, if its not him, Hazard and Javi Martinez will be already in the bag.

Re: Adebayor

A few on here were praising Adebayor last week at how unlucky he was and how he hasn't fit into Mancinis plans.
Adebayor is a ****,and a greedy one to boot. I'd sell him to the highest bidder-end of. Another hughes shit signing

This. He's disruptive, lazy and always offside when he doesn't need to be either. If Lokomotive are really interested we should sell at the earliest opportunity.

It's natural for some people to panic - we have now tasted success and some people want more.

I'm sure we'll do some good business, but we are 3 weeks from the Charity shield. We have Barry and Komps injured, half our team not back training yet.

We waited last close season for Sanches and lost out.

People just see the other teams around us strenghening yet we seem to be playing dodgy games waiting for players to leave who may or may not do so.

Other than being lumbered with more players we can't offload i don't really see the difference either way - say Dzeko leaves other teams know we now want a striker and charge more - if we buy first other teams know we want to offload and offer less.

You won't stop the flapping let them get on with it - I'd rather read flapping than half the bitching that goes on

I agree 100%. We missed out on Sanchez and had to make do with that donkey Aguero...... Marwood & Mancini OUT !!!

I agree but such is life unfortunately. Onwards and upwards still.

Re: Adebayor

"City last week agreed a £5.5m fee for Adebayor but the deal has stalled on the player’s reluctance to take a pay cut."

Hold on, i though he said he just wants to play and money is not important ?.

You shamesless twat, you earn fucking stacks for being a mediocre striker, wind your neck in and fuck off ffs, just go man, go.

Does anyone know what spurs were offering him per week ?, it can't have been that bad an offer.

You know what I bet him and levy have done the deal but it will only be signed a week before premier starts! Those extra few weeks on 175k a week he needs ;)

Re: Adebayor

What are the alternative for Spurs, they spend upwards of 20m getting a striker who may or may not score 17 - 20 goals a season or pay the extra 6m to get him. I really hope we hold our nerve on this one, I know it would mean we would have to pay him at least until January but it would tell him we aren't fucking, about just as we did with Tevez. It would only cost us 3.5m.
