Not at all, there hasnt been a hint of the player going anywhere all summer, thats the part what concerns me.
There was plenty of news reporting he was going to go back to Real Madrid.

Adebayor :-|
180K a week, before everyone gets carried away with there orgasmic adulation, I ask how come no other team in Europe is interested in said player ?
If he is so good, wouldnt other teams be looking at signing him :shrug:
Potential 30 goals a season for us Eek
Wasn't this whole wages point mooted before by other posters in that we can't look at individual cases, but as a team so in theory, letting go the likes of Keane, Bentley etc we could push the boat on certain transfers.
I have to say, this is not necessarily my viewpoint on it as regardless of whether that was the case or not, the likes of Modric, VdV, Bale etc will soon want parity with the top earner so it's a dangerous game to play but one I feel we may need to eventually adopt if we are to really push on and challenge.

1) How do you know they aren't?
2) A player isn't as good as the number of trying to sign him.

All our other striker targets have several clubs vying for the signing , as Ive just said I havent heard a single piece of information linking Adebayor to anywhere, perhaps someone can post a link, that someones after him, other than us.
The fact is about City is that they HAVE to either sell or loan Ade and probably subsidise his wages as he will never be picked by Mancini in his 25 man squad. So any buying/loaning club therefore know that they are in a pretty strong negotiating position.
I think our problem is that he has always had a good game agaist us?

He did score 30 goals for Arsenal in 2007-2008, and they don't even like crossing the ball. He's a better player now. The thought doesn't deserve your eyes popping out of their sockets :wink:
There probably are other teams interested. But all of the teams that are a significantly bigger pull than us already have top drawer strikers. That's the reality.
Indeed. They could be royally screwing with us. I posted before that I'm sure City would be ruthless enough to play ball to the last minute, pull out and leave us with no other forward option. Adebayor would be a casualty, but then he is earning £180k a week and probably wouldn't complain too much. With them scuppering our window and us not improving, then we certainly wouldn't be a threat. With Adebayor we would be. I don't think they are arrogant enough to think that we are now leagues below them. We had a tat season goals wise and it was still a close run thing.
They wont do us any favours, they will protect their investment.
