Angry players want Adebayor axed after inviting opponents into dressing room

[wakefieldyid]

What's he waiting for ? The installation crew ?

No. It's just that the players have seen off so many managers recently, they want to make sure he'll still be in place after Christmas before they decide whether to commit to his ideas...

Its a culmination of all the clarty things he does.

Look at the disrespect shown yesterday of not being ready to come on.

Cannot wait till he is gone.

The disrespect was not bringing him on at half time when we were 2-0 down, instead he brought on two dead weight midfielders

 

[striebs]

Sorry , I'm not buying it .

Far too easy to gang up on Ade and try and blame defeat on him .

Give in to the mob and you will never be able to stop .

Whilst I would prefer two prefer two up front Poch doesn't so it was perfectly normal for Poch to do this. Ade wouldn't have added much anyway as shown with his soulless cameo.

He was ripped apart on motd for his effort and 'contribution' and rightly so.

Sadly, the aspect of this story that I don't believe isn't that Adebayor would display such indifference to our performances but rather that a majority of our players would actually care so much about it to get angry.

Adebayor is clearly a difficult character, but those sort of characters should be kept in check by even bigger and more dominating characters in the squad who actually give a shit about Tottenham. That's what a Roy Keane or even a Craig Bellamy does for you in the dressing room. People sniff at Harry for bringing in 'top lads' like Scott Parker, but they serve their purpose.

This wouldn't be the first time that Ade caused disruption either. Awarding him with a vice captaincy, especially after his shenanigans last season was a mistake. If this article is true and Ade's BS upset fellow players, then he should be disciplined plain and simple. It might not be a big deal to some here, but as far as player conduct is concerned - it evidently is. The guy's supposed to be setting an example both on and off the field, and right now he's failing in both. He really needs to get his act together.

It was an utterly perplexing move, as was making Kaboul captain.

I don't understand why we felt the need to make a big to-do of announcing our captain, vice-captain and second vice-captain either. Especially when the choices were so fucking dire.

 

[strader]

wow Ade spoke to some opposition players in his native tongue in a room next door to the dressing room - so is that the worst they can come up with? ridiculous over reaction .. Ade is fine, just needs his form back.

spot on. The issue we have currently is when things are going wrong, which they currently are: Any little thing that happen I.e Ade speaking to opposition players becomes a story. Guess what? Haters just come out and blow it out of proportion.

what if they are friends and he went for a meal with them after the game? Wow that will be suicidal. Imagine if he swooped shirts with them, wow that will be the death penalty.

guys get a grip and turn these negativity energy to supporting the team. I am hurting but these players need our support now than ever.

Well, there is still the big hush over what Ade did to get AVB playing him with the kids.

Mods wont say anything, even ITK refuse to say anything... But they all say it was pretty bad.

Adebayor questioned AVB and his tactics/team selection infront of the whole team.

AVB has confirmed that and was quite right to sack him off.

Ade was no worse than any of our other players.

MOTD have their agenda, and it was the likes of them clamoring for Harry Kane to start.

That worked out well didn't it?

we were 2-0 down, there are no excusses for his foolish subs. Fuck what match of the day have to say the fact that we were 2-0 before he came means you ade haters cant keep blaming him for our fuck ups

 

[teok]

No, I get his point. Certain players are easy scapegoats. Like balotelli at liverpool got all that shit for swapping shirts. Where as teflon "stevie g" can be the worst player on the pitch but never gets even a mention because all the pundits are his mates.

The problems at the club are all over the team.

Face facts. he's lamentable and sullies our shirt everytime he wears it.

Everyone but the deluded or superfan sees this.

There are a whole team of people failing at the moment, he is an easy target.

The defence was the major problem as always in a loss.

 

[fedupyid]

I am not blaming Ade the squad is full of expensive dead weight. The fact is we went out with a scatter shot approach to transfers, we play a formation which our players are it suited to. Levy is part of the problem, but the club is on the precipice of a cliff and one more wrong step and we can forget playing in the Europa League.

"Spurs sources have revealed how Adebayor was berated by fellow players when he invited opposing players into the Tottenham dressing-room directly after the 2-1 home defeat by Newcastle a fortnight ago.
Just minutes after the final whistle, Adebayor is said to have been happily chatting to two of the Toon’s French-speaking players in a room next to the dressing room in their native tongue as downcast Spurs players tried to digest a miserable defeat against Alan Pardew’s side."

So which is it?? Bollocks article as far as I'm concerned.
Nothing wrong with players talking to each-other after the game. What's far more important is what they do on the pitch.
