Folski Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Hope this happens, no risk if a loan, it's a clean slate at villa and the team will be set up to feed him. Tim massages his ego and hey presto, GOALS! There's financial risk and a risk of impacting morale. Perhaps it's low risk on both, who knows, but there's always risk. There's a risk he breaks his leg first day of training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 There are few teams' fans whose opinion I value less. They worship Harry Redknapp and wouldn't back Tim "The One True King" Sherwood. I don't think they do to be fair. I remember going on one of their forums to see the reaction to his sacking and was actually surprised by how many were happy with the decision. Yeah I saw that when I read a bit of his thread on Glory Glory. Bit similar to us and MON when most outsiders think we must love him for constantly getting 6th. Again Spurs fans on Adebayor would be similar to us on N'zogbia. They do still have a wierd love for Soldado though. of any recent Villa player the best comparison is easily Carew. Both had questionable attitudes and both had fallen out with "disciplined" managers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 We had the same arrangement for Cleverley, so there's obviously some reason for it. That was different, though, we had agreed a fee to buy Cleverley in January, which because of his shenanigans had to be turned into a loan with agreed fee option to buy in the summer. Presumably this would be a straight forward loan till the end of his contract, therefore no fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted July 28, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 28, 2015 I have a feeling he will out score Benteke this season. Playing for his future weekly income will motivate him enough to use his full potential, and to me he is a very talented player. Just have to keep his family well away from him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakemineVanilla Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 EA was one of the success stories during TS's short reign at Spurs, and it was mostly put down the TS's ability to manage his temperament. Being that TS's biggest feat at Villa was restoring Benteke's confidence and form, after he seemed to have been crushed by a combination of injury and the demands of PL, I would be relatively optimistic about the deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 The more this goes on, the more I want him here. He can make something of nothing.. we desperately need that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsworthlion Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 ive just heard, this could be done today, he IS in the midlands today. it is a loan deal. ill happily fall on my sword if it doesn't happen today. but just passing it on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 could well be a good loan deal signing from our part. I have confidence that him and Tim will gel well (how poetic that turned out..). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 My Boggies mate just said that we're trying to emulate them signing Anelka by signing Adebayor... except that Anelka is 10 times the player and we're wasting our money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 What a summer!! If someone had told me we'd have signed the likes of Sinclair (if you count him), Richards, Amavi, Gueye, Ayew and Adebayor in the same window with the likes of Crespo and Veretout likely on the way.. Did we all just wake up in some alternate reality where Aston Villa are actually a Top 4 side and have the pulling power to get anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 The risk with Adebayor is that he will probably score about 20 goals for us this season. I really have no doubt on this, but then we will probably sign him on a 5 year deal next summer and he will be back to his old self again. Big risk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big risk I think we've learnt our lesson about giving 30+ year olds huge wages on long contracts. I hope we've learnt our lesson about giving 30+ year olds huge wages on long contracts.
