As stated about, Ade is way to too erratic to be a dependable striker force, though he is the best Spurs got at the moment.
Spurs could swap him for Lucas Ocampus or Kondogbia (doubt Monaco would agree though).

Get rid of the player who scored 14 in 25 games? And you profess to know the game of football.

So you want us to fork out for all of his £160,000 a week wages? I don't. Would be undecided if he turned up every week, but we all know he won't.

You think Soldado is on much less?

Besides he won't be expecting that sort of salary.

So pray tell just whom do you think we can afford who will score the amount of goals per game that Ade did last season?. Indeed any season if you look to our goals scored record.

Your deluded if you thing a fifty odd grand a week striker is what is going to propel to a top four finish.

And I believe the story is that the Man City money runs out this close season . If so then unless we cough the full 170 gs (ish) per week then
yes he gotta go .

Depends whats in the contract I suppose .

If he stays do we have to pay he full amount anyone ?
I heard something similar, though I thought the all-up figure was £130,000pw and up until this summer we were paying £100,000pw. Still a huge amount of money and I also say we should sell. Wouldn't expect much more than the £5m we paid at most due to his age and the wage demands.

Soldado is on much less. When we signed it was reported he was on £53,000pw at Valencia so I'd expect he'd be on around £70,000pw tops.

So goals per game more expensive?..............how else do you want to measure a goalscorer, artistic impression?

To answer your questions in order;

1)Yes, I do.
2)I think he will.
3)Bony.
4)I'm not delude.

Hope that helps.

I can never understand why people get so upset about players contracts and what they earn. The market decides what they earn not the fans. My season ticket will still cost £990 if we pay anyone £300,000 per week or not.

You are talking like it's coming out of your own pocket. We paid £4m for him and the club brings in millions every season. He is one of our only goal threats. I can't believe anyone is considering getting of rid when our goals for ratio was so bad

If he worked for me I'd have fired him when he didn't turn up for work after the ACN. I'd also fire anyone who only turned up for work when they felt like it.

As good as Ade is when on song I don't trust him to keep performing for long spells, and there is the ANC coming up next season, which he put before our CL aspirations two years ago. In other words I would let him go if we can bring in Lukaku or another top striker to replace him. Realistically Monaco is one of the few clubs that might both want to sign him and pay his obscene wages, so I hope they make him an offer he can't refuse.
Also an offer that Spurs' can't refuse.....25mill. +

Although I agree we just don't have enough goals in us at the moment to let him go.
