Ade offers to replace shirts....

[JohanTheYid]

From his official Twitter (unless it's been hacked again) telling anyone who bought shirt with his name and number 25 can take shirt to club shop and they will change for number 10 for free ( presumably with Ade picking up the tab)

Nice touch.

 

[Scutch]

Great stuff.

 

[Annabel]

Ya beat me to it! Yes, at his expense. I think it's a nice gesture! Good for Ade

 

[luptic]

its the club that should be replacing the shirts not adebayor, but a really nice touch by him.

Didn't they put out a statement warning people that numbers may well change? Or did they change them after the official announcement or something? I've not seen anything about this before.

But either way, nice touch by Ade. I know it won't make much of a dent in his pocket, but it's a nice thing to do on principle nonetheless.

Why? Presumably he is the one who wanted to change numbers, so why should the club lose money through something they couldn't control.

Agdebayorrrrrrrrr

Than when you slid on the floorrrrrrrr

 

[markiespurs]

Great bit of class from Ade, especially as the club warned people to wait until the official squad numbers were confirmed

 

[tony0379]

Legend.

 

[tototoner]

Fair play

 

[HotspurFC1950]

Two shirts that's a lot of money.

 

[mil1lion]

Is this at the expense of the Africa donation?

 

[Spursking]

Our kind African striker. We want more of them. Bring in as many as possible!

CLUB ANNOUNCEMENT - ADEBAYOR SHIRT NUMBER CHANGE - EXCHANGE

Posted 14 September 2012 11:09am
Following Emmanuel Adebayor’s change of squad number from 25 to 10 for the coming 2012-13 season, the Club can confirm that those fans who purchased a shirt with the old squad number will be offered a replacement.
Speaking to tottenhamhotspur.com Emmanuel said: “The number 10 is a special number for me and so when it became available I asked if I could change.
“The Club were happy to accommodate me, but were conscious that a number of fans had already purchased their new Under Armour shirt with the name and number printed on the back, after the squad numbers had been officially submitted ahead of the start of the season.
“I am very proud that Spurs fans want to have my name and number on their shirt and I didn’t want them to be inconvenienced by this change. Therefore, I’m very happy to cover the cost to enable those fans to exchange their shirts - for an Adebayor 10!”
Victoria Howarth, Head of Retail, said: "As a Club we go to great lengths to ensure our fans are aware that squad numbers and players may change from time to time. We strongly communicate that fans should wait for the official squad numbers to be officially announced before getting their shirts printed with players names and numbers.
“In this particular instance the change has come after the Club submitted the official squad list for the coming season, therefore both Ade and the Club thought it was right that we offered fans the chance to exchange their shirt.”
This offer is valid to those fans that purchased an Under Armour 2012-13 'Adebayor 25' shirt between August 23 and September 2 and have proof of purchase.

It's a nice gesture. But let's be honest... it will probably only cost him about 10 minutes worth of work!

 

[haxman]

Yes, yes. Score some goals please and we'll all be happy.
