Ohh come off it! I'm perfectly entitled to form an opinion on a player I haven't met, if we're not then I suggest everybody stops posting all together. It's clear as day that Ade and Soldado are on polar opposites of the "professional" spectrum.
You can form an opinion but it won't be accurate as you don't know either of them.
Redknapp
"Ade is not the trouble-maker people think he is. He trains hard and enjoys the game but having fallen out of favour, he needs to kickstart his career now. "
Mourinho
"Adebayor is here because he belongs to us,’ said Mourinho, who took time out to chat to Eriksson before kick-off.
‘He worked at Real Madrid for six months and went to the heart of everybody. Everybody loves him."
You've taken gossip and formed an opinion on it.
The funniest thing here is that you believe Red knap and Mourinho
Not the best character references are they
Could have very easily sacked it off after a few missed chances. Key thing is he was there to miss them. Not sulcking on the 18 yard box.
I can expect failure...but I can't accept not trying.
And yet here you are, trying to influence peoples opinions. On the internetBut believing sports journalists and football fans is fine? I work in Surrey and have to listen to "United" fans tell me how Ade only plays well for a contract. When I've stopped yawning I then have to sit there trying to bite my tongue because it's really not worth trying to argue with the sheep who have formed an opinion based on what they read on the internet.
May be not such a deal. I believe that players' contracts are amortised over their lifetime. So if we signed him for £26m for four years, his value on the books would be £13m after two years, so £8m would mean a loss of £5m on the whole deal (excluding the fact he was generally a waste of space and got one Prem goal last season).I would be delighted to get 8m for him

This place would be pretty quiet were it any other way
Of course you are. My badI'm debating with people that are more likely to have a sufficient knowledge on the subject to make it worthwhile. There's a difference between a forum and the daily mail comments section.
Who the fuck disagrees with me ya BaekelandNice fella tried hard but didn't work out unfortunately. I think there's still a good striker in there somewhere, you don't score 30+ goals in La Liga 2-3 seasons in a row and not be a good player. He didn't really suit our team and managers styles or the premier league and then it just became a confidence issue which is pivital for any striker.
I loved it when he got that goal vs Everton but that pass when he was through on goal in the Europa league was the final nail in the coffin. Glad he's gone now as wouldn't have added any value this season but really hope he does well for Villereal.
Bye bye Bobby. COYS
