CrackpotForeigner Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I much prefer the idea of him as a financial weight around Tottingeham's neck. That's probably his best use to us as a club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkyluke Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Hmmm, I was very happy with the idea of Ade coming here under the right contract. It will depend how our forward line fire this year, need some double digits from Gabby and Co then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Happy we have pulled out of the deal if true, certainly more options out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 If he was super motivated he'd be saying don't worry about relegation guys, I've got this. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 6, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 6, 2015 Usual press guess work when a deal takes longer than expected. How many times have we been here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 So if this is true I guess it's... Adebay-or-someone-else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Tim gets my seal of approval if this is true, here's hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Again, IF true, that's another feather in Tim's cap. Having the confidence to decide that the guy who did the biz for you in your only other stint as a manager maybe isn't the right man for you this time around. It would've been very easy and very tempting for him to just get him on board. Exactly.....or alternatively we have decided we won't be bullied by Levy into accepting a crap deal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndunse Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Hopefully Gestede, Kozak, Ayew & Gabby have all impressed enough in training to convince Tim that spending these kind of wages just isn't needed. 4 strikers (plus upcoming players from youth) SHOULD be enough for a team without European commitment anyway.

John Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 The ball is now in Spurs court. If they want rid of him and he is motivated to play rather than to count his money then the deal might be brought back into life towards the end of the window if there have been no move by another club. On Talksport this morning they suggested that he wanted to stay in London. Surely he would have noticed before now that we are not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Do you think there is anything in the stories of him wanting to stay in London or Sherwood pulling the plug? Yes the deal has dragged on but there is still a few weeks of the window left and it could purely be down to negotiations over who pays his wages. It's easy to point at Adeyabyor as being the issue but the truth is nobody knows what's happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah agree, doesn't surprise me this deal has floundered just many variables that aren't in our favour. Spurs want to make money out of any deal or at least ensure we cover his entire wages, he clearly doesn't fancy playing for us all that much, and by he sounds of it would rather stay in London. It really enrages me when I hear a player say they would rather live / play in London, for me that's an immediate no thanks then... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeps Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Still think this will happen. I don't believe any 'reports' DM print and haven't done for a while. Their just top 4 and Liverpool lovers with poor reporters. If Ade didn't want to leave London why even have a medical? It's ridiculous. Relegation battle worries? He'll be off to the Middle East/China/USA after next season so why worry? I could of wrote that artical. Funny that no one else is reporting it tbh.

Ghost Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I think we're trying to make sure that we don't get Jenased again. How many footballer-verbs are there? So far I've seen getting Delphed, getting Jenased and getting Postma'd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I think we're trying to make sure that we don't get Jenased again.What does that mean? Jenas suffered a season-long injury soon after coming to us, didn't he? How would we make sure that didn't happen with Adebayor (other than never allowing him to play or train)?
