I think we will mange to get £10m for Adebayor. This is Levy we are talking about, and Adebayor will have reenergised potential suitors by showing his form over 2-3 months. We all know his flaws only too well, but to other clubs he is a great all round striker who is capable of dominating when the coordinates align. Don't know how Monaco's FFP situation is, but we all know they are loaded.
As much as I like 'good' Adebayor, he requires a certain type of manager to get him firing and is about to become extortionate in terms of wages.
I still think Soldado will come good under the right manager/tactics, and it will be interesting to see who we would chase to compete with him. I've said this a few times, but it is a LONG TIME since we applied our general acquisition tactics ( 18-22 year old exciting project with potential to increase value ) to a striker. Who was the last young European striker we signed, Postiga ? I'm interested to see us go after a Modric/Eriksen type of player of the striker type. Its time we made a purchase here i.e. a young exciting talent, to match how we go about business every else on the team.
Deadhorse is about to be beat, but Aleksandar Mitrovic and/or Michy Batshuayi would have me excited.
And I agree completely on Adebayor. Think we're looking at more like £6-8m, though.
