We can worry about that once we finish 4th - if we managed to finish 4th then surely we can attract someone better...

I thought Adebayor was Blue and Yellow due to the kit colours of Togo. Obviously I was incorrect in thinking this if he is being referred to as the Blue half?

No it is not. Apparently Mourinho and Benzema have been publicly flirting all window Eek
Based on the recent talk i would imagine POTL is refering to Adebayor as the blue - the only other striker people have been getting excited about loaning is Benzema (who wears blue for his national team) so it is either club or country colours. I think Ady is the one we really want and i'm sure he will want to come, and i think city want rid too given they have 42 strikers on their books. Problem is always going to be his wages. If city pay half for the next 9 months that would be great. If Ady then feels like Spurs is where he wants to be we can then try and convince him to drop his demands. We may also be looking at the new stadium plans in action and hopefully CL revenue (which i think is realistic with him up top).

It would make sense, those two would convince Modric to stay.... Unrealistic though, blue might be Benzema

Enough with the puns, already:grin:
Or is it a cryptic
We have to impress him.
But I've always been of the opinion that what we need is not a big money signing but one who will function well within the team. What would impress Modric more, buying a big name striker who scores 10 goals next season, or signing one he has never heard of who scores 25 and helps us to 3rd and some trophies (or whatever):shrug:

Time is not on our side to impress Modric. We have to show intent NOW buy signing big name players rather than an unknown who might or might not be good, Modric wont hang around to find out!

viper adebayor if we do end up signing him is not an unknown mate, the fella has played in the champions league for some big clubs and is a very very good player on his day.
like startingprice says we dont need to shell out huge dough on big marquee signings what's needed is a couple of forwards that would compliment the way we play first and foremost and adebayor be it on loan or for £10m would definately fill one of the places. we have been down that marquee road before shelling out a vast sum with bentley who didn't fit our style and was in the spotlight at the time.

You miss my point.
When it all first broke I was like most folk - buy now, buy big, to impress him you understand.
He is on a five year contract.
Basically, the stance Levy has taken is that he isstaying this year.
In which case, I don't really care how big the name is, just how effective the player is...and I am pretty certian that, come next Summer if we finished one point off the EPL title because we brought a shit hot unknown who scored 40 goals Modric would feel the same.
I am not saying I have anything against big signings, just that signing a big name isn't the be all and end all of it, for me. I would much rather Levy/Redknapp took their time over getting the right player than rushing out and spending a fortune on the most expensive player, or the most well-known.

Personally, I think the B&Y are both Madrid players.

Hardly surprising when your Winger alone can weigh in with over 50 goals in a season.
