Tottenham agree Adebayor loan deal
Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal to sign Emmanuel Adebayor on loan from Manchester City.
The Togolese striker is on the hunt for a new club after being told he is not in Roberto Mancini's plans for the upcoming season.
Spurs manager Harry Redknapp has been on a look out for a striker to boost his firepower for their Barclays Premier League and Europa League campaigns.
And according to Sky Sports News, the North London club have agreed a deal to take the 27-year-old on loan at White Hart Lane.
Adebayor did go on loan with Spanish giants Real Madrid for the whole of last season and impressed with eight goals.
His preference was to land a permanent deal at Santiago Bernabeu but Madrid coach Jose Mourinho decided against taking the former Arsenal striker in.
Already a hate-figure amongst Arsenal fans for his provocative celebration in Manchester City's 4-2 win over the Gunners, his move to London rivals Tottenham will only do further harm to his reputation at the Emirates.This is the player who was far too good for us! Hope the same happens to Nasri.

If he scores a winning goal against us I will break someone.

Er no, not really. Because you can want to play football AND be a mercenary. He followed the green to Citeh, and looks where its got him...ok, let's get something straight -- the guy was signed as a first team striker; his wages reflect that!
so if he wants to strike if the club are being ass-holes he has every right to.
In fact, this proves, contrary to the crass opinion of him here that he is a mercenary, that he actually gives a fuc*k about being taken seriously for his football.

wrong!Er no, not really. Because you can want to play football AND be a mercenary. He followed the green to Citeh, and looks where its got him...
the club saw an opportunity to flog a player for cash as usual and so sold him when city came in with silly money!
he was our first choice striker for a while and carried our attack for a substantial period. He then asked that he is paid what a first-choice striker is paid -- WHICH WAS FAIR! The club negotiated his wages abd then decided to flog him when they got a silly offer.
Nothing mercenary about that.
‘Arsene was very cautious and David was very ambitious for the club,’ said former director Keith Edelman, managing director at the time. ‘He was very good at getting Arsene into a position where he was comfortable spending money.’
The board have said if wenger identifies a player he really wants and he needs the money it's there. Wenger doesn't think it's worth it!

'I had a dream of playing for Arsenal, and Arsenal are one of the loveliest clubs in the world,' he said. 'When I go back to Africa it is obvious that a lot of people love the club. But now I have a chance of playing with one of the biggest clubs in the world.
'I haven't had a chance to speak to the manager yet. But we will sit down next week and decide what is good for my career. We will have to meet with the manager before anything can be decided. But, as you know better than anyone, a lot of teams want me to play for them. It will not be a difficult decision. I'm just going to sit down with my agent and with my family and decide what is good for my career.'
While Adebayor says he has some loyalty to Wenger after the Frenchman rescued him from what was a difficult time at Monaco, he points to the profit Arsenal will make if they sell him.
'Arsene is like a father to me,' he said. 'That's why I love him a lot. But he bought me because he believed in my quality. He didn't buy me because I am from Togo or because I needed money or because I look beautiful.
'He bought me because he thinks I can do something good for the club. He put me where I am today, no doubt about that. But if he sells me, and what they say in the newspapers is right, they are going to get 50, maybe 60 million for me and they bought me for 10. So everyone is getting the benefits. They have to make a good decision and I have to make a good decision as well.
'We will have to see what they want. All I know is I have a promise from Arsene that they will call me next week. I am waiting for their answer next week, and next week I will decide. I need to know before I come back to train on July 21. I need to know by then.'
According to Italian agent Vicente Morabito, a deal with AC Milan is already '80 per cent' completed.
But Adebayor dismissed his influence, not least because Morabito is not his agent. 'Maybe he just likes to talk but he is not the one who is going to decide,' said Adebayor.
'The person who is going to decide is myself.
'If he says it is 100 per cent certain that I am going and I say No, the answer is No. I say to you that the facts are these: I have a three-year contract with Arsenal and I have a lot of big clubs trying to buy me, and it is up to me and my agent to sit down next week and find a good solution.
'I'm in a position that I don't know where to play but that is normal. If you told me seven years ago when I was playing in Togo that I would have a choice of playing in Spain or Italy it would seem crazy.
But for me the most important thing is to play on a football pitch, any football pitch.
'I have never played for Milan or Barcelona, so I don't know anything about the atmosphere around these clubs. If you want to know what playing for Arsenal is like you have to go there.
'To be honest, when I'm at home and relaxing I never watch a game so I can't tell you what their style of play is like. I know their names like Xavi, Iniesta and Kaka and Gattuso. But I just love playing football. Where doesn't matter.'

Or...
http://www.redcafe.net/f7/adebayor-i...-money-248694/Emmanuel Adebayor has risked alienating himself from Arsenal fans following an interview serialised in the Daily Mail where he suggested at this stage in his career, money is all important.
The Togolese striker is asked by the BBC Africa Sports editor, Farayi Mungazi: ‘How important is money to footballers? A lot of them say it is not about the money. Is that true?’ to which the player, heavily linked with a move to AC Milan and Barcelona, replied:
“It is not true, it is about money.”
“You are talking about in life and it is about money. When we are young, of course we played because we loved the game, we play because we were passionate about the game.”
“But now as soon as you reach a stage where you are professional and playing Champions League, after all those things we are talking about money.”
“If it is not because of money, what am I going to be playing for Arsenal for? If it is not because of money I don't think I would go to Arsenal to play. I would stay in my country, I would stay Lome where everyone loves me.”
“If its not because of money, I would not have come to Europe.”
Adebayor has put in a string of below par performances recently and has at times looked disinterested. Last week the former Monaco striker revealed that he is in regularly contact with AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani
Can talk the talk but can't walk the walk.
That said, I'm surprised Madrid didn't go for him if he was cheap enough.
The King Is Back.
so you think Wenger sold him to City because Ade demanded so?hmmmm, what goes around comes around Ade
why is cesc still here then? why is Nasri still here when he is wanted by our rivals?
Ade talks a lot I'll give you that --- but he did not agitate for a move.
When asked the reasons for his departure from Emirates Stadium to Eastlands, the Togo international revealed it was a wage issue and that Wenger said it would be best that he leave.
"I talked with the coach and he told me I was one of Arsenal's best-paid players, that the club was in the red, so maybe they wouldn't be able to pay me any more - it would be better for me to go,” Adebayor told the Evening Standard.
"I asked him, 'Is it your choice or the club's?' He answered, 'It's everybody's choice, from the whole club'. I was pushed out!
"Everybody says Adebayor went for the money. I think a lot of people are wrong because Arsenal bought me for five or six million and they sold me three-and-a-half years later for £25million.
“So people should know that it's not me who wanted to leave for money, it's Arsenal that forced me to go."
