Adebayor to Spurs. Done deal.

Will come back to haunt us ( :whistle: ) but worth not having him (his wages) at the club I suppose...

I'm fairly sure that's press bollox as I think it would be illegal?

If we were paying any of his wages, it would be a loan, not a transfer. I can't see why the club would commit to spending however many million over the next few years when they could just take that amount off the transfer fee and be done with it.

Which is effectively what we've done.
For all his baggage, Ade is still a £15m striker I'd have thought?

I could be wrong but I thought that when we bought Fowler, Leeds somehow were paying part of his wages??

his record for us was nearly 1 goal in 2, for spuds it was pretty similar. in today's market i'd say closer to £20 really, baggage or not.
