osmark86 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) 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. to heskey [hes-kē] verb heskey 3rd person present heskies past tense heskied past participle heskied gerund or present participle heskying To pay overprice for a perpetually underperforming player whilst not recognizing the subject's deficiencies. example: "Holy shit, Bolton Wanderers just got seriously heskied, mate!"

foreveryoung Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 The Moose on Talksport just said this deal is dead? Daily mail talk, not sure if there's anything in it. Just to scare Levy maybe, or keep the press off Sherwoods back for a bit while he prepares the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limvillian 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. I hope not. If this deal is dead I would presume Tim,Fox and co. would have another option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not. If this deal is dead I would presume Tim,Fox and co. would have another option. I think it depends on whether Sherwood intends to play one or two up front most games. If he decides to regularly start with one up front, then 4 (+ Sinclair and youth) is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 6, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 6, 2015 Still Thibk he will sign before Saturday. Perhaps Sherwood has adopted the A-Team BA method and given Adebayor a glass of milk to drug him to get him out of London? 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...
Sam3773 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Let's not forget that the media can be used by the club sometimes to force the player's hand. If we want him, and he's worried about his future, something tells me rumors that we've stopped pursuing him can only aid our pursuit/negotiating position.

DCJonah Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Spurs only have Kane as the striker they want. It's risky to sell Adebayor and Soldado without replacing them first. I think everything is in place, just waiting for spurs to make sure they're not left short when the window shuts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentMajority Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) Being reported on the BBC live transfer update... Mark Regan BBC WM Sport Posted at 15:20 Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor's move to Aston Villa is on the brink of collapse as the player is understood to be reluctant to move out of the capital. The Togo striker has been in talks with Villa for weeks and look set to be reunited with Tim Sherwood, who was his boss at Spurs. But now the deal, while not totally dead in the water, is pretty close to it. Villa fans will be philosophical as they have had a far busier summer than many would have thought and there are lots of players to get excited about. Furthermore, Sherwood has attacking options now with Rudy Gestede, Libor Kozak, Jordan Ayew and Gabby Agbonlahor. Why has it taken Adebayor so long to realise Birmingham is a bit of a distance from London? Has it moved?

Spurs and Adebayor are done, no matter what happens external to that. But they leave themselves in a vulnerable position. It's unlikely they'd **** up and end up with just Kane but keeping Adebayor until he's replaced is still an insurance policy. I don't know for sure obviously but I could see that being part of the issue. I don't buy Adebayor not wanting to come, very rare players come and look round the club when they have no interest in joining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbonus Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I don't buy Adebayor not wanting to come, very rare players come and look round the club when they have no interest in joining. The reports seem to suggest that he's interested in joining but doesn't want to move to Birmingham and wants to commute daily from London. I seem to remember Pires doing this and the club providing a chauffeur. That didn't work out too well... If its a deal breaker, so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 No way is he bloody well getting chauffered from Lon to BMH every day for training. Though it's a good call to remember that Pires got that privilege and quite plausible that Adebayor negotiated for the same. Guess it's Berba then.
