Emmanuel Adebayor says his future depends on Spurs new boss

[markieboy]

Emmanuel Adebayor says he will only leave Tottenham this summer if he is unwanted by our new manager.

Seeing as Tim Sherwood appears to be the only manager who has had a good relationship with him in his whole career.............I would suggest that he will definitely be leaving.

Ade and Sherwood were in bed during the whole coup that took place in December, when they teamed up in Ade's exile to the youth squad. He was quoted as saying that he was given 100% trust and the 'keys to the club' by Sherwood. So forgive me if I don't buy the whole notion that Ade is the type of guy that would play ball under any manager, as long as he's given the chance. He clearly didn't under AVB and just now stated that he won't if it's not 'his' type of manager...

likewise Ade was in bed with Harry!!

Fact of the matter, like it or not he produces the goodies. You will find most top players are similar, do you think Ronney, Ronaldo, Suarez, Drogba, RVP will sit and smile if not picked. Currently for our club, Ade us our ronney, our RVP and until we have a capable replacement he leads the attack.

I wish our other players were egoistic and wanted to prove a point as we might even have finished higher.

All i want for this club, which i guess you do is have a performing player, a player wanting to prove a point and not a yes man, unless i am mistaken.

I rest my freakin' case. It's not a matter of the club, the fans or striving for personal brilliance that'll keep Ade here or not- it's the manager. All this guy cares about is a guaranteed start or not.... well guess what? There's competition and this guy needs to understand that special privileges do not exist outside the world of Tim Sherwood…. and Harry

A few games where he plays like he's supposed to (and paid to), while snoozing off in all the rest doesn't entitle him to any kind of guaranteed start - he needs to shut up and fight like everybody else. The Adebayor-Sherwood regime was toxic, plain and simple.

Fixed.

The problem is, if the new guy dosnt want Ade and Levy dosnt get the deal he thinks he's worth, the new guy will have to keep him, if he dosnt play he will unsettle the other players and cause trouble for the new guy.

This is part of what we mean when we say Levy has to back the manager all the way, even if he has to take a bit of a loss on a few players along the way. get them out the door and quickly move on.

Levys stubbornness for profit on a deal has been clear to see with the likes of Jenas, Bentley and numerous others. He dosnt seem to understand the harm a bad apple can do. I remember seeing a pic of Ade and Benny taking the piss holding up their fingers (ade 3 and benny 2) to mock the liverpool result .. Its this type of thing that can divide a squad and Ade is always center of attention.

I think it would be best to cut our losses and let him leave and replace him with someone who would die for the cause.

The question now is...what happens contactually when the Man City money runs out in the summer .

Is it left that we must stump up the full 170 Gs for Ade's last 2 years ?

Or is there a clause that says Ade will just get our part of the wage ie 90 Gs ?

We don't do 170 Gs wages...so something has to give...you have to ask will Monaco do 170 ? If so then that seems the only course open .

This, massively.

If we have to foot that whole bill, he's a big risk. You'd almost have to pick a manager almost entirely on whether he liked him or not on that kind of lolly, and that's really not a good starting point

Chelsea have seemed to do alright with the anchor that is Torres weighing down successive managers but he appears to be more of a sulker than a trouble-maker

 

[ERO]

Anyone know what will actually happen to his wages, rather than just assuming?

I really can't see Levy signing a contract giving Adebayor 170k.

 

[slartibartfast]

I'm almost speechless with some posts on here regarding Sherwood and Ade.
Wtf do you want???
Ade was on fire under Sherwood.
Sherwood would not have kept picking him if he thought he wasnt delivering, as he did with Sandro.
What would you have done? Drop him while he's banging them in and play who???
Soldado and/or Kane???
Well I'm bloody glad your not in charge.
Hate Ade all you like but your making yourself look an arse by saying childish shit such as he was in bed with the manager.
What manager would drop a striker in form??
Im not saying we should keep him or sell him but dont try and twist how he's been playing under Sherwood to suit your own ends.
Baggage yes but he's one of our best players. Fact. An arse granted but thats how it is.
I dont see a line of players in our squad whove played for the likes of Arsenal Citae and Real Madrid so we can be choosy.
So there lol.

Disrespecting the manager by airing his opinion? If manager cannot deal deal with a player who has an opinion then he should be coaching the under 7, those pups just listen and occasionally cry if told off.

No, disrespecting the manager by acting like its part of his job description to tell the manager/head coach how to do his job. And then, once the manager/head coach has refused to do as Ade pleased, feeling like he simply had to undermine him in front of the whole squad.

We don't know what was said. He might have had a point, or he might not have. He obviously thought that there was something wrong and that it needed to be looked at.

Its not about what was said, its about Ade thinking AVB had to do whatever it was Ade demanded.

Ade was in all his right to voice his concerns with AVB, that doesn't mean AVB was then forced to change his ways in order to please Ade. Expressing his opinion in private was fine, doing it again in front of the whole squad is a desire to force the coach into doing things different. And that's simply not all right, as AVB was the man in charge, not Ade.
