"@MrOKanenas: I can confirm that it looks likely that Adebayor won't be with #thfc next season. Personally, I'm gutted. Will find out more from him asap"

This guy works at THFC I think and is good mates with Ade. Interesting


Interesting - to make room for Soldado?

Would want Bobby to replace Defoe rather than Ade. Soldado is similar to Defoe only far more effective, Ade offers something different in terms of hold up play. A 4-4-2 with Ade and Bobby could even work.

Based on what? reading his account he looks like a fan. And he thinks we missed out on Soldado so i doubt he is inside the club based on everything we've heard

He said before that he works in admin at thfc. I dont know anymore that that. Someone told me that he was mates with Ade and he was saying some atuff the other day about their chatting on snapchat, but that was all positive and how he wasnt leaving and how good he felt against Sunderland. Am guessing somethings changed with Ade, hence his post.

and defoe is a waste of skin

Unbelievable goal against City. An absolute classic and a reminder of his great ability. But that said, we require someone with a bit more 'game' these days. Defoe is a 4-4-2 forward.

To say he's a waste of skin is really harsh. They guy absolutely adores the club and fans and has given us years of great moments.

Admin don't have a a clue whats go in on in the vast majority of companies at middle management level, let alone at a place as sensitive as a football club about multi million deals.

I never mentioned anything about whats going on in the company? Only that he's mates with a player ao am guessing he's heard something and is trying to find out more from his mate

I work at one of the largest companies in the US for sports/entertainment and i don't know about anything that happens within the organization. I worked at a small, less than 50 person sport organization and I didn't know anything that was going on within the organization. I feel like people think sometimes that the CEO sends out emails when anything's going on...

Right ok, do you really think that a guy that works with THFC, would openly say he worked for THFC and then leak info online? If he did he wouldn't work for THFC for very long.

Agreed, think there may be some truth in our interest in Dzeko if Ade is being sold. I'm not sure if I rate Dzeko, though, probably in a minority.

If we got Soldado and Dzeko, not a chance in hell we would, we could be challening for the title. U stick Dzeko in any of the top 5 or six clubs in the PL, as first choice stricker, he will hit at least 20 goals a season and get a few asists to boot.

There is already room for him. We NEED three strikers. Can't be going through a season with just two again. Be a shame to see Ade go though. This would've been the year he had a full pre-season with us, in a new formation and no ACN distractions.

Terrible decision if he is let go :(

Really wish it was Defoe leaving instead.

Maybe they both will? I think we'll see Ade out, Soldado in. Then maybe towards the end of the window look for an upgrade on Defoe - we always have Chadli as an option - he played as a forward at times.
Biggest issue we have had in recent years are our strikers - maybe a complete overhaul is on the cards?

You're missing he's real gift which is to find the gk from almost anywhere on the pitch.

Could be they both go? Was looking forward to Ade with no ANC and being fit and raring to at the start of the season.

The journos ITK ties in with the tweet I posted from Ade's MATE!
Sounds like his agent has done a deal and is waiting for things to fall into place (soldier?) before Ade can go.
