If only he was like that every game, he`ll probably be rubbish in his next game.

Your asking for trouble asking these lot they seem to hate him on here!

He was very very fast, I'll give him that.

Otherwise thought his hold-up play was rubbish, perhaps I was watching a different game.

Yea, I think a lot of fans underestimate Ades importance to us. His all round game is excellent, and although he does blow hot and cold, for me he's one of our most important players.

LAL.

his first touch was poor at times and should of scored but he did give 100% and some of his runs were fantasic

Considering he recieved the ball out on the left most of the time he did really well, most of his passes found the man and he kept trying to make space out there.

If only Bale would go use it instead of thinking he's CR7

If you want ot become a top 4 team year in year out, you need someone better than Adebayor.

He was far too wasteful, and how on earth did he not score?

I want to know why he was so wide all the time, i want a centre forward playing down the middle and pulling defenders away for our midfield runners

But cant deny he had good game

You could say the same about VDV npe77.7

But yes, most Spurs fans are (and have been all season) agreed that we need a NEW STRIKER.

as a gooner i can tell, you he misses goals he fustrates, but he is a very good footballer. He links play and can hold it up.

If you can get someone better on the market fine, if not he someone worth having around if he wants to be there.

Even if we wanted him to stay - which I think we would - his wages are just ridiculous. Whether he can find anyone to take them on is another matter though.

Ade should have scored, and was never in the box.

BAE whipped in a couple pearlers of crosses and they fell to no one as our striker wasnt in the box (changed when Luis came on). Plus he seems to occupies Bales position and vise versa. I dont know who's fault that was, yet Ade is a poor winger, and Bale is a poor striker.

I watched the Chelsea game today and thought Spurs deserved to win. Adebayor was very good at holding the ball up, and the one most culpable for missed chances was VDV today. I thought Bale was unlucky on a couple of occasions, but was also quite selfish, shooting when it wasn't really on. It looks like Spurs just need one to go in though, and then they'll be back on form.

Credit where it's due ADe was quality today. Although he should have scored

posted on 24/3/12

Agree he should have scored, what I can't understand is the antagonism towards him, he is a quality player & brings another dimension to the team.

Bales Left Foot........................Ade would be on around 100k with us, and would get a signing on fee of arounf £4m, there would also be a fee to City, but I think that might well be nominal as they want to reduce their wages bill quickly.

How so greaves, when our wage ceiling is 80 grand max?

Bit rhetorical from me really, I guess, as I wouldn't break it for him anyway.

posted on 24/3/12

That sounds reasonable geniusgreaves, seeing as Modric has reportedly got a 100k contract waiting for his signature. Still, that leaves us some way short of the 170k he's on at the moment

All the rumours today are that we'll be getting Rossi. I'm still hopeful that we'll sign Damiao too - despite having only seen highlights of him he looks like an exciting prospect.

Ade reportedly sends half his wages to African charities - there is no way in the world he'd sign for us for less than half the 200k+ a week he's on at City.

I wouldn't blame him, plus I don't want him.

Our NEW MANAGER, or even Harry, wouldn't make him our marquee signing for next season I don't think. And certainly not Levy. No chance.

posted on 25/3/12

No one in the world will pay Ade 100k a week so he wont have a choice

He should just be thankful he struck gold for a couple of yrs at City

"Agree he should have scored, what I can't understand is the antagonism towards him, he is a quality player & brings another dimension to the team"

Because it is not enough. We need much better than him.

I think you're overrating him. He was alright in patches, in fact it was one of his better displays, but other better strikers would be the difference between winning that match and drawing it. And there have been times where's he's made the team worse, not better. Depends whether he turns up switched on or not.

posted on 25/3/12

By time-honoured striker measures, Adebayor has not delivered. And even if he goes into hyper-drive in the last 8 games, too late IMHO.
