Is there anyone on this site...

That is prepared to give dear Ade another chance?


I would be fascinated to know who.

No polls. Just posts. Who still wants him at the club?

 

[Ian Kane]

No. Seems after him, Kaboul & Capoue have been removed from the fray we've been a happier team.

Sell those 3 and give MoPo the cash.

 

[carpediem991]

No...I gave him a chance when AVB left and TS integrated him back. Never was a big fan as I a was never sure if he is on 100%, lazy or not and not concentrated in front of goal. He seemed to proved me wrong under TS but under MoPo I see no evidence he is a useful piece of the squad. Unfortunately totally overpaid... get rid as soon as possible.

If we end up having to pay Ade to leave that might only leave Pochettino with enough for a packet of crisps and a coke.

If we have a few injuries Ade will get another chance and we won't have much choice about it, if he sorts out his JuJu and gets his head right then I don't have a problem with him playing, just as long as Kane and Soldado get a good run together first.

 

[philip]

Nope

 

[Timberwolf]

No.

He's had enough chances already. If he comes back he might play well for half a dozen games but he'll promptly lose form and start his customary stultified llama routine. Giving him repeated chances rewards reputation over commitment and sends the wrong message to the rest of the squad. We should've got rid of him in the summer when his stock was reasonably high- he was always going to let us down sooner or later.

 

[moomin]

Yes, but not ahead of Kane and Soldado, and not in League play. I'm all for giving him Europa league playing time to give Kane and Soldado a rest. I don't think he deserves to be permanently relegated to the bench full stop.

It's very clear he has mental health problems atm, and it's probably why his form has been so poor. I hope he's getting treatment. He has my sympathies and support.

 

[bat-chain]

Can't see him leaving before the end of his contract so we just have to hope it works out.

 

[Strikeb4ck]

When he is at his best he is a top 5 striker in the Prem, end of discussion.

Unfortunately it just seems like no manager can get him to sustain that level unless his contracts running out.

If he proves himself in training to Poch and the rest of his teammates then why not.

Hopefully Poch can introduce selection based on merit over seniority or favouritism.

I believe the recent selections suggest that Poch really is running a meritocracy. Now that Levy has, according to ITK, really backed him over the senior players I think Poch has realised that he truly does have the freedom to do what he wants and do it his way.

If Ade really has been set in his place by Levy and has understood what he has to do, then he might still be valuable for us. If he goes into another sulking spell then bye, bye.

...and if Dembele, Capoue, Paulinio, Kabuol etc buy into his philosophy and could raise their game to the level of effort shown on Sunday, like Lennon, well who knows what we could achieve.

I hadn't seen the ITK before a few hours ago, I've been on holiday and off the site for a couple of weeks, also haven't seen anything but short highlights of our games since Villa. But when I read the reports from the Everton game I was thinking "where has this Lennon been this season?". The ITK gave a pretty good answer to that.

 

[beats1]

Yea why not

Its like Im busy doing something

 

[BuryMeInEngland]

No thanks. He gets paid if he plays or not, so just continue to leave him out of the side and that way he can't do any harm.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

So whats the beef with Capoue all of a sudden?

 

[ClintEastwould]

I think he's a very good player on his day but much like Kaboul he strolls around the pitch smiling at everyone like he's at a ice cream social. He's just not a fierce competitor and is in it for himself. We need players who are willing to fight and give a damn. I can't say that I don't like the guy because he's obviously had personal struggles but I just don't understand why he can't just buckle down and our in the work

 

[SpursManChris]

With a new striker in January highly unlikely, Ade simply must stay with us for the rest of the season, 2 strikers is not enough with injury potential. But after this season, for his sake, he should move on. I'd love nothing more than to see him thrive at another team. He still has what it takes to continue in the EPL. Rejoin struggling Harry at QPR perhaps?

 

[thinktank]

nein.

 

[jonnyp]

I would, if he works hard in training and proves to the coach he's up for the challenge. If not, he can rot in the reserves.

Same applies to all our players.
