Ade is off to AFCON

So it has been confirmed that Ade is off to AFCON.

Now surely, surely we are going to avoid the story of last year and sign someone.

Personally I wanted us to go for Ba, because the price was right for a proven player.

Now, we have to go for Damiao, dont we?

As much as Dempsey is improving, We cannot rely on him and Defoe, Ba is gone, Llorente to Juve and I bloody hope we let the Barcodes or QPR get Remy.

I think Ba's situation arose because of his knee problems. He still has pins hiding it together and it's pot luck whether he plays until his 30s or it packs up tomorrow. From what I gather that's why he had the relatively low release clause.....

I'm sure I read he had an incentivised contract at Newcastle. He got a basic salary regardless (say 10k per week) but if he was available for selection he got more on top (say an extra 40k per week).

Low risk for Newcastle if he got injured a lot, but in the flipside less security for Ba hence the low release clause if he got a more regular contract elsewhere.

Kane was cack for Norwich at West Ham so hoping he doesnt come back soon.....

================

I hate to say this about a lad thats been through our academy, but Kane is not very good. He was useless in the Championship, and looks even further off the pace with Premiership players to help him score.

He will probably never play another competitive fixture for Spurs.

Its a shame, but we have to face facts.

As much as I agree from what I have seen of Kane, he was far from cack in the Championship.

I have plenty of Millwall pals and they would love to have kept him

HRH,

Is that true?

I have to say, when i saw him for Millwall (not much, i admit) he looked terrible.

He's riduclously slow, and bar one brilliant goal, his shooting didnt look much kop.

But if they rate him, fair enough.

When did you see him? He had a slow start for them but one he's settled in he and Keogh (I think) were flying....I'm sure he scored a few screamers for them.

General concencus was he wouldn't 100% make a good Prem player but would definitely be a top Championship player

HRH,

The game that sticks in my mind is the game they lost to West Ham.

Kane was clean through, in the last minute of the game, but couldnt have hit his shot any softer or slower.

When i read about him whilst in our academy, i really thought he would smash it when he was promoted to senior level - but he was nothing like how he was described.

Apart from that one run where he took the keeper on & won a pen in that EL game, i cant say he has done anything to take note of.

Shame.

Found this. Pretty much wanted him for another season to a man.

He's young, maybe too young to write off but you watch a player and get a feel. My gut says he's not quick enough, and isn't a clever enough player to make up for it....neither of which are things you generally learn at his age.

Can see him being an 'inbetweener' such as Earnshaw or Huckerby, or having to re-invent himself like Kevin Davies

The signing of Damiao is a must as I have always been concerned about Adebayor's loyalty or lack of it !!
