Agreed he has already stated we was his first choice before Real came in. There must have been indications that we would not match his wages not by a long shot.

Granted we don't want to continually rebuild ourselves. That being said, 19-24's are "now" players. Dortmund and Lille just won titles with squads filled with u25's. Adebayor might be proven in the prem, but he is the only one on that list that is. Everybody else is a boom/bust potential just like the one's I listed. And once again, that's from my knowledge base. Our scouting department should be better than me.

Why risk chasing Ade all summer then he goes Madrid on the last day and we get no one? We can't leave it too much longer, IMO we've already harmed our season by waiting this long, no settling in time and all that
It's the big difference with the tax, they can pay him much less than we can and he'll get the same take home.
Also he's desperate to join Madrid so is going to do what he can to get there, us signing him is a total non starter imo. He'll go on loan to Madrid, which also makes much more sense for City as they're not strengthening a Prem club.

Thats sounds odd!
We've entered into 2 seconds of negotiations...:grin:
He'll not find a new Club then, simple as that.
I dont believe that is accurate for one minute though.

Judging by Harry's comments over Suarez I don't think they are

Stuck in the sense that no-ones going to pay him 180k outside of City. He can either sit in the stands and collect his 180k or lower his demands and get a move. I can't see City paying a large portion or his wages if he goes on loan either.

Such naivety on here. Adebayor doesn't give two shits who he plays for just as long as they pay him as much as possible. In fairness, he is not alone there. But don't go thinking that with weeks left of the window he has come out and said "yes of course I'll accept a wage cut." he's got time on his contract still so worse case scenario- he still earns a bomb next year. More likely he and his agent know he is in demand and know they will get a higher weekly wage (possibly from us) by leaving it until as late as possible until clubs (possibly like us) get desperate and agree to pay him more.
Of course I could be wrong but I this just feels like exactly the sort of bloke he is.
Not who I want at spurs

There is seriously something very worrying with the info we are getting...
surely to God we can dertemine very quickly whether Adebayor's representatives are receptive to negotiating a deal.
Thats what negotiating is, that doesn't get off the ground with what Dragon is saying - if he wont drop his current wages, its crazy, in other words negotiations should never of started if thats the case.
Very quickly to move on to other targets if that was ever accurate.

I think we've been trying to get City to subsidise.

It WAS very good a few years back but has began to post less and less over last couple of years.
I personally think we are looking for City to subsidize

Very much so mate, but I thought Adebayor, according to the info, was still prepared to take some sort of wage cut in order to help the deal.
I cant see City subsidising over half his wages.
