We NEVER diss spurs players whilst their still playing for our beloved Spurs.
Hardly ever even do so when they leave...still have soft spots Modric and Berba..:o
I still feel Ade will do the business for us.

I really hope your right but I believe you are wrong about Ade. Waste of time.

I'll put my neck on the line and I'm gonna say very few of us have had to get over the above and then lose a brother.... when you get back to work you arrive with a very public questioning of your commitment and performance.

The main issue is, Adebayor deals with real third world problems each day (letters from African fans and charities) but lives and works in the first world.

I'm not making excuses for him or saying Adebayor should be allowed collect his €100,000 a week wages and do nothing to earn them..... but for f*ck sake, the lad has had a truly tough year, give him a break and definitely do not compare any of your problems to his.*

Yes you are making excuses for him. Some of the excuses are really good excuses and I think he may be using them to take the piss. Cant wait to see some sucker come along and buy him.

Why doesn't he take a 6 month unpaid leave of absense then as a mark of respect to his employer I.e the Tottenham fans

He had a chance to leave and play regularly but he didn't go cos he has no interest in playing regularly

And by the way , lots of players from the poorer countries including brazil and Argentina have had tough times

And they usually go home to their home countries to make their career playing football.

You seem to forget the first season Ade had with us, he was awesome, really world class. I for one can't wait to see him get a run on the wing with Eriksen and Lamela behind Soldado

Sorry for being "bad cop" on the Ade thing but he was not world class in his first season with us. He had a good first season. Gareth Bale was world class last season especially the 2nd half of it. I know he could be a really good player but its a rarity. He is undependable.

Last season EL ,even taking a penaly kick is too hard work for him.big lazy donkey with no respect for the club or fans.

I have my own demons too but I still work every day I can get & I still give 100% in the 3 full games I play every week...

He needs to go in Jan if we get any striker in.he will be 4th choice then maybe he will do the decent thing & fook off

an absolutely disgusting individual, an unashamed mercenary hopefully he can be ditched for breach of contract or something , if the rumour is true.

If it's true, and that's a big if when it comes to rumours...then he needs to go. Keep fining him his wages for carrying on like this, and ship him out at a loss if needed.

Sugarlumps

Where did these rumours circulate from? Trawled a few sites, drew a blank. I'd like to see him back in the fold, games are gonna come thick and fast.

Hatch99

It came from the anti-adebayor group, I'm the chairman

Sugarlumps

I'm not a fan but until he finds another club then 'd like to see him get a run out, link up with some of the newer players. I presume he'd still fancy a kick about? But with these cold nights approaching maybe not. Either that or Soldado is the lone striker for the season.

He was at the qpr Wigan game last night with kenwyne jones

Bah! "although it is questionable whether it really is the Spurs man"

Doesn't look like him at all, apart from the fact the guy in the photo is black. And why would he sitting in the stand and not a box?

He showed a bit of desire yesterday. Hopefully he can form a partnership with Soldado and get back on track.

We badly need that to happen.

curraghyid

We need something, but once a mercenary always a mercenary I get the feeling that with the January transfer window just around the corner, mr adebeyor will once again get his finger out.
If he is still at the club in February his form will disappear, I hope he proves me wrong but I don't think so . It's the biggest worry with him if you have him as a regular he plays for a couple of games and then disappears again.
So avb will have wasted his time setting a formation based on adebeyor deciding to earn his wages and it will be back to square one.

I agree with you to an extent. Though, we could always use the window as motivation for Adebayor, sell him come January for £5m and then replace him with a better, younger, version of himself. Knowing that such a player can fit straight in to the team.
