Okay Simon, if he signs, I'll bet you a sum of your choice that he scores 20 goals in his first season.
I know all the pro's and con's because this debate has been done to death on this forum but my personal view is that you don't get to where he has got in the game if you are not going to score goals. You do not conduct the sort of transfer fees that he has done if the team buying you has not got full confidence in your ability to score goals. You do not play under two of the most respected managers in the modern game, Jose Mourinho & Pep Guardiola, and become a regular first teamer who scores 20 goals a season more or less season in, season out and play for clubs of the magnitude of Juventus, Inter Milan and currently the best team in the world, Barcelona.
Now I know people call him lazy and say he won't adjust. My questions are these:
A) How often do you watch him play?
B) Could his "laziness" simply be down to his knowledge of the pace of the game?
C) How do you know he won't adjust if he has never been in the premiership?
You're going off assumptions, not facts and what is a fact is that he has scored goals wherever he has been. He'd add height, he'd add goals, he'd add strength in depth and if Adebayor got banned or injured we'd have a ready made replacement in the same class or superior class to Adebayor.
