Come on Tunisia!!!

Will be great to see the big man home and score the winner against WBA at the weekend.

be great to have him back and fit. one of our better players last season

Whether Adebayor comes back early or not, the fact is that Levy needs to buy another striker before the close of this window. It is vital for us to finish top four. If he does not and we finish 5 or 6, we will see mutiny from the top quality players in the squad wanting CLF in the coming season. It is a no brainer!

marc, though I 100% agree that we need another striker, I still maintain that I would rather get our No1 or 2 choice as opposed to buying too rar down the list of preferences. If for example we could get our No1 choice in the summer, should we wait as opposed to getting yet another compromise signing that then reverts to a squad player and we also fail to get the main target because we have spent the money on someone that we didnt really want or feel would drastically improve the side

Balotelli leaves MANC and they start looking for a replacement. We have One off form on national duty and Defoe injured and (hopefully not longterm) going through an dry spell in front of goal and the powers that be still wont buy a striker. Ade being out shouldn't be an issue

@ Hot_Spur, we have got to 4th with two strikers and one of those injured for much of that time. as I said, I want a new striker, but I can see a logic in getting the right one as opposed to rashly spending on someone that will only offer a short term solution as he isnt anything better than we already have. I take it that you are quite happy to spend money we have allocated on a striker gambled on a player who is lowe doen our list of possibles, just because he is available. Of course we will then be complaining that we cant offload him or his wages in 18 mths time and cant afford the right striker because we have *****ed that money on someone inferior. Lets not panic. Arsenal are yet to strengthen, Liverpool remain hopelessly inconsistent and Everton have bought one CM, as have we. If those around us were adding real quality, then we might have a valid point, but so many are suggesting our season will go to pieces because we dont add a striker. surely we are better to buy well as opposed to be best available

there's more chance of Oldham beating the Bin Dippers that Togo loosing to Tunisia

Hot_spur - ok, so you buy your number one target, and he gets injured for the season, doesn't settle, or does an Andy Carroll and is basically pants... What guarantee is signing a player anyway...? We could sign him and still not make top four. Chelsea and Arsenal are capable of sequences of wins that could make anything we do immaterial. Everton will finish strongly. Liverpool have improved with Sturridge. As for signing players, The best you can do is to take your time and do your research, and make sure you have the right guy. The more expensive and high wage he is, the more careful you must be. No more panic buys please, because they are overpriced and impossible to shift. We stink of desperation.

Adebayor is as useful as man with one leg in an arse kicking contest .

What would be a good result is if he signed for someone else this window instead of coming back .

The big question for me is - if Hud goes to Fulham, will he ever cut his hair? Or will it take an own goal playing for them when they meet us, before the locks come off? We'll have to call him Rapunzel! COYS!

want....my bad

Adebayor has to be our most naive signing ever

Is Adebayor really that bad...? To be fair he knows where the goal is...sometimes...and is better than Clint...

C'mon Tunisia!!

I've said in a recent thread that Adebayor has had 23 shots in 14 appearances. Any law of average would tell you that this is the reason he's not scoring! He's just massively out of confidence I'd have thought and AVB for me has to rectify it, try and take the pressure off him somehow.

http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/5074/afcon-2013/2013/01/30/3712851/- Ade is a frustrating talent and has his demons, but I love watching him when he's on form and hope he can come good. I'm almost certain there's gonna be no more signings this window, which is a shame - Willian or my Son would have added some good positional options, maybe for a 4-3-3. Bring on the canaries! COYS!

Do we expect Adebayor to come back from the ACN full of verve, vitality, enthusiasm and get up an go, or lolloping around the pitch at a leisurely pace, with a face like a smacked arse, looking like he couldn't care less whether he plays or not, just as he was before he left. As I have said before, this guy makes Berbatov look energetic, but I suppose we have to make do, we ain't gonna get another.

Frank, as you well know, I think ENIC do an overall good job. If they made an announcement saying we could not afford all three of Guidetti, Castaignos and Son, let alone any one of them, I would have to call BS on them. Wages are always an issue and that's where I believe this year we are probably above 70%. Any player coming in adds to that. As I stated before though, it is a short term issue for all the reasons I have mentioned. I do however expect, much like Harry, AVB knows who he wants and he does not want anyone else. I get it, to a point. But then, why bring in Holtby who would be far better in a 4-5-1 than in a 4-4-2. Defoe doesn't suit a 4-5-1 at all. Today it's Dempsey and Defoe. It matters not whether it's 4-4-2 or 4-5-1. Defoe has shown for over a decade, that no matter who is out there for him to work off of, it will not work. He will snatch a goal from nothing, or as he has in 7 of the past 8 games, snatch nothing from something. While I have not liked Adebayor's attitude at all this season, I do feel that he and Dempsey or he and Holtby could fashion a partnership that would benefit both parties. I have no such confidence in any partnership that involves Defoe. History says it will not work. COYS

ade gonna come back tired

We could have used him yesterday to be fair. Good luck in the Quaterfinals Ade!. COYS.

Let him stay out there and I hope his team win it....as long as we sign Damiao or someone...anyone...anyone good that is!
