I know that a few years back some of our players had in their contracts that their salary would always be the same as the highest paid player. Not sure if that is the case now, but i would hope not, otherwise getting rid of deadwood to pay someone a huge salary, could end up costing more
That depends, If we offload Keane and Hutton and say we free up £100k, One striker and big name striker could come in on £100k, Where are we losing out financially? Just moving out deadwood and bringing in quality for the combined wage.

Got to be Adebayor or Barton...
I geniunely wonder how much of the anti-Adebayor sentiment is latent gooner hatred. He's completely and exactly what we need up front. And he's most definitely a statement of intent to the likes of Modric - the bloke was playing for Real last season FFS.
This is one of those urban myths, the club has a wage budget not a ceiling, hence the need to get rid of the deadwood to enable less squad numbers to get paid more. :bang:
We can't afford to break this wage structure, especially not for Adebayor. All hell's going to break loose, Bale and co. are going to be wanting parity and then we're in trouble...
If we're going to break it for someone, make them worthwhile, like Llorente.

The stories in the papers today are us and City interested in Eto'o.

I really hope Blue is not Ade.
I think Ade would do well for us but i seem to remember POTL saying blue and yellow would keep modric happy. I dont see Ade as being a statement of intent to Modric, unless POTL rates Ade alot higher than the rest of us.
Can't believe people are negative about potentially signing Adebayor, when I read POTL comments I was instantly on a high purely at the thought of us being close to something potentially big...
Even if its not Adebayor would hope it is a big name, I would be rather underwhelmed at Hunterlaar breaking our wage structure...
Why exactly is storm and rain Adebayor then?
