Adebayor is a selfish player with absolutely no integrity in my opinion. He has played for money and financial gain, and seemingly has no club loyalty.

This latest rumour if true is the reason the move to Villa is faltering:

The Togo international reckons he should be allowed to commute from his home in London, something which Tim Sherwood isn't keen on!

Seriously a Premiership club want you to join them in the first XI, and you show your appreciation by telling them you aren't prepared to move. I know London has better nightlife Ade, but you are a joker!

Why should he leave? He's got a big contract and wants to live in London. Enic are the ones that should leave. The Ade problem is tip of the iceberg. Why has Baldini not left?. Why is Andros Townsend still there? Townsend won't do the decent thing and leave, so he is as much a mercenary as Ade is. Another 35 game season because of Levy's penny pinching. Going into the season with one Striker, what a joke. Enic make us a laughing stock. This should be the season when the other 40 or 50% of Spurs fans turn on Levy and its well over due. #ENICOUT.

No Lucas it's fans like you that make us a laughing stock. So much wrong with your post I wouldn't know where to start. The same things were being said about a striker this time last year, maybe buying loads of luxury footballers isn't always the answer. We will get another striker before season starts no need to overreact.

What are you on about? It may be frustrating but the club's philosophy is excellent. I spend a reasonable amount of time at the training ground and you can see the Spurs ethos in the way the youth teams play through the age groups compared to the visiting sides. We are building for the future. Never forget what happened to Leeds!

Anyone with any sense knows that Spurs will buy a striker before the window shuts, but personally i'm just really disappointed we have left it so late AGAIN. We all knew last may that we needed backup for Kane and have still done nothing about it. If Harry gets injured tomorrow we will have no points from as many games as it takes to identify a target, sign him, and give him time to settle in. So while Lucas may be a little misguided I can see his frustrations. Like I said I have no doubt we will sign a striker in the next couple of weeks, but in the mean time let's hope Hugo stays, Kane stays fit, and we stick six past Utd. The last one was a joke!!

Come on Spurs 1985 you know what I say is true. I admit I was wrong and you were correct about Harry Kane. However my other comments about Levy are bang on and unbiased. You can't really argue with my post, we have one capable striker at the club on the eve of the new season. The transfer policy will mean a 35 game season for us again. Townsend and Baldini still being there. What fan honestly wants these things for the club?

Lucas what you say is not true. ENIC has been good for the club. Remember the 90's when we flirted with relegation a couple of times? Since 2000 we've never been in that danger, and now 5th is seen as a bad year for us. The club is stable, getting a new stadium, and is rising in profile to increase our commercial income. We have one of the best training facilities in the world. We've spent on players, and the moans that we would not reinvest the Bale money were proven wrong - it's not ENIC's fault that it was spent badly.

We're the 6th richest club in the PL, and we've consistently equalled or bettered that over the last 5 years. We've only finished below that twice in the last 10 years.

Townsend is absolutely not a mercenary. He may not be as good as we
like, and he has this frustrating desire to score from 30 yards, but he is a Tottenham fan and this is his boyhood club. If I were him I would fight for my place as well. Playing for Spurs means more to him than playing for anyone else.

Our defence needed sorting first and that is what has happened. With 58 goals we were the 5th highest scorers last year, commensurate with our position. With 53 goals conceded there were only 4 teams that shipped more than us. Hull let in 51 goals and were relegated. Manchester United in 4th scored 4 more goals than us but conceded 16 fewer. Anyone can see that it was at the back that we needed to focus, and that's exactly what the club has done.

I'm not saying we don't need another striker or a defensive midfielder, but our priority was the defence and that is what has been sorted first.

So yeah we can easily argue with your post.

I honestly don't think what you say is true. Your making things up as we actually have 3 recognised strikers in our ranks. A team that plays one up front can cope with 3 strikers. As another fan rightly said we have yo abide by contractual law so that explains why those 2 are still there. 'Benefit' from Baldini's contacts for a little longer as we will be paying him either way. Point being how is sacking him and paying him off better than keeping him and getting him to work for his money?
Like another Fan rightly said, it's our defence that needed sorting and that is done.

I get that Nah i'm not saying to do a Leeds or Pompey but a bit of decent investment is necessary. We get told about the future, that's just an excuse not to spend money. If Kane gets injured tomorrow mwheels the price of any striker we want will go up by 50% and chairmen will happily do a Levy on Levy. Will he spend then? would it be a shock if we end up with what we got at the moment when the window shuts? it's happened lots of times before. Yeah Wulf we are a well run club money wise but that is the Enic business model so when they sell they can make hundreads of millions. Don't believe the likes of Townsend when they start preaching a love for the club and how he is a Spurs boy, he knows this is as good as it gets for him and wants to stay because it's a fashionable club. If he loved the club he would leave quietly and quickly. 1985 I said capable strikers, so i'm not making things up. Yes Toby will be an improvement but a relegated RB and an unknown Austrian, let's not get to excited. Defence is easier to sort anyway, its strikers that cost money hence why in Enics time we've only spent money on Saldado which GB funded, and bringing back Defoe and he was a panic buy. As for Baldini's contacts I think they are a myth unless he still talks to the fella who recommended Chirices. Take the Spurs hat off and make an unbiased assessment.

My spurs hat is very much off. Maybe listen to your own advice as fans from other teams that I speak with are envious of what ENIC have done for us. Look at the facts don't just listen to ypur own opinion.

It looks as though Adebayor has refused to go to Villa
