Emmanuel Adebayor

[EnfieldYiddo]

I'd be more useful off the bench than Ade... So we either keep him as the main striker and invest confidence in him or ship him out. He will be a detrimental factor in and around the squad if he isn't starting.

Beşiktaş have agreed personal terms with Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor according to Fanatik.

The deal breaker for Adebayor is reported to be the future of Beşiktaş in European competition.

The Black Eagles finished the 2012-13 Turkish Süper Lig in third position however, will not be participating in the Europa League next season after being handed a one-year European competition ban from UEFA.

Beşiktaş have challenged the ruling and are waiting for the outcome of their appeal.

Eagles manager Beşiktaş manager Slaven Bilic recently admitted he would like to see Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor join the club.

"Adebayor is a very talented player, anyone would like him to be a part of their squad," Bilic said speaking to Lig Tv.

Beşiktaş board member Ahmet Kavalcı also recently confirmed that an offer had been made for the Togolese international.

"We are definitely interested in him Adebayor and have made an offer," Kavalcı said.

The Eagles lack depth upfront, with Hugo Almeida, the injury prone Mustafa Pektemek and recent signing Ömer Şişmanoğlu being the only viable options.

Spurs transfer listed Adebayor after a poor season - the Togolese international only scored five Premier League goals in 25 appearances.

Beşiktaş have also been closely linked with Nigerian international Michael Eneramo.

hmm... if this is true then it leaves us with... Defoe...

[chrissivad]

someone on COYS is saying that they arnt buying him. Never heard of the guy so dont know how good his info is

 

[Pete Spur]

You just know we'll be stuck with a disgruntled Ade for the season ffs

Villa want 25 mil for Benteke and generally don't budge much on their valuation of best players, we aint gonna pay that

we missed David Villa

we aint gonna get Soldado cheap either

starting to look like we're fucked unfortunately

I don't.

 

[Pete Spur]

I don't.

Ades shown in the past he doesn't mind sitting out a season if it means more money for him

guess we'll find out soon but I doubt anyone will pay him what we currently are

He certainly won't get anything like what he's earning now, because City won't continue subsidising his wages once he leaves us. Whatever else he may be, he's not stupid, so he has to be aware of that. But we don't even know that he wants out. Even if he spent much of last season in a coma, he looked like he was enjoying himself in the last few games.

Yes, we know he's behaved like a total arse on several occasions in the past, and the club can hardly have been unaware of that; we took a calculated risk getting him in for the simple reason that when he's on form he's probably better than just about anyone we have a chance of getting. Let's not kid ourselves we can sign anyone in the Aguero/Lewandowski/RvP class without CL.

I'd be pretty shocked if he was playing anywhere other than White Hart Lane next season

for that calibre we'd need CL footy and our nice new shiny stadium

I wouldn't be against snapn Berbatov up for a season or 2 on the cheap lol

why!!.. he's a mercenary.

Not while Levy's got a hole in his arse, as someone said last summer. And I think we have selective memories about Berbatov.

 

[Shea]

because I don't think we'll be able to sell/replace him this window

We already need a new striker even with him in the squad, sell him we'd need two

Add to that we'd need him to agree personal terms with a buying club and he'd probably drag his heels for some kind of loyalty bonus sign off payment

I just can't see all these things happening this window

 

[SpurSince57]

So are all footballers. They always have been.

Unless he finds a club president who's absolutely loaded and barking mad, he's never going to get what he's earning now.

not me, he acted like a **** I'm just not one for holding grudges unless it's sum serious shit

Would this be the same Berbatov that only really got going after Christmas.

For the way we play, I'd much rather keep Ade and hope AVB can get the best out of him.

Ade to QPR???

& that's my point!.. hardly anything to do with trophies, fans, loyalty etc anymore.. & more kudos to bale if indeed he does stay.. he could triple what he's on with us right now at least.

And seeing how our options are turning out to be, that's fine for me.
