[Football] Emmanuel Adebayor linked with Palace

[Bozza]

1. I can't believe he's still only 31!

2. They're picking up a real gem there:

Adebayor then went on loan to Tottenham Hotspur, who were under the stewardship of Harry Redknapp and the former Spurs boss revealed a remark made when Sebastien Bassong accused him of earning just £200k-a-week.

Redknapp, speaking on BT Sport's Fletch and Sav show explained: "In training, the worst player on a Friday used to get a £50 fine which would go to a charity up the road, a little kid's hospice," Redknapp started.

"Adebayor never paid his and Sebastien Bassong said, 'come on Ade, you earn £200,000-a-week, and you haven't paid £50 to the charity for being the worst player last week'.

"He [Adebayor] said, 'don't insult me... I earn 225 [thousand pounds a week]'."

Him and Bamford are all good posts today mate, but do you have any INSIDE gossip for us to drool over in terms of BHA activity, please?

 

[Buzzer]

This could be a dream signing as far as us Brighton fans are concerned. He's a disruptive influence, known to argue with managers, he has a mercenary attitude and regards himself as a big-time charlie and he will cost an absolute fortune.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Great signing Palace fans, snap him up!

 

[Seagulls1984]

Why you always so bothered what palace are doing ? Who cares !!

 

[beorhthelm]

think he's been linked to about every club in the Premier League. odd that now he's a free agent someone hasn't snapped him up. his wage demands maybe high, though i recall reading he sends half back to Africa for a charity, and wants to protect their income (maybe confusing with another player)

"I don’t know much about the club (CPFC) but it’s better to learn so I’ll be going on Google and finding out more about them," said Adebayor... after signing.

Did he really say that?

I'd love to know how they can afford his wages.

They are not paying all of them apparently.

I hope he's got pet insurance for his cat!

Hopefully we've contributed

He's gone up in my estimations. Probably the best signing Palace have ever made. Let's hope it continues.

Who's paying the rest?

Who's paying the rest?

Spurs.

 

[Knotty]

Spurs.

Didn't they release him in September?

 

[BensGrandad]

Didn't they release him in September?

Subject to making up his wages from what was offered by any prospective new club.

This.

Adebayor's Spurs contract was due to run until June 2016, so under the terms of his release they will need to ensure that he earns £100k per week until then.
