Adebayor

[nembiak]

I suppose if he signed a contract for X over 4 years he's entitled (ahem) to that amount. We will probably have to pay the difference between his contract with us and his new contract with Palace. We save money that way.

Hopefully that's the case, call me bitter but I'd hate to see Pardew benefit from someone we're paying for. :bentalebscream:

I gotta say, I'm happy we don't have to play against him this season.

gotta say I hope the cunt breaks his leg immediately then gets leprosy followed immediately by bubonic plague and gets his face eaten by a rat !

Oh yeah, that too. I figured that was implied.

I'm probably talking bollocks about instalments btw. It's just the way papers report things. We will probably have to pay Palace the difference in a lump sum. City probably did the same thing with us. It's then called 'paying his wages' which it isn't.

lol - Pardew is crazy

Then again - their top scorer is Cabaye on 5 and 3 of those are pens

Too right Joe, wages are normally associated with the word earned.

I don't think we were paying him a cent after release tbh

We were. The full amount until it ended or he signed for another club. It's all over the Internet. Poch just wanted him out. You can't just say 'fuck off we're not paying you' unfortunately.

You can reach an agreement, pay him a lump-sum and so be it - many Contracts have been terminated by mutual consent in the past. Sorry, not buying this - not with Levy

It's been reported in the media often enough to make me puke !


Emmanuel Adebayor's Premier League return complicated by Tottenham still paying his wages

It was reported as a favour to Poch.

Read Maccer 's post above.

the important word being "mutual"

Not buying it personally. I think we were considering legal action / termination for his non-performance and constant awol so we offered him a settlement package instead of going all Mutu on him. That's my personal view

The other reason (other than being able to recoup some of the money you are contracted to pay) to do this is to have control over when and where the player goes........hence he's ended up at non-rival less than two working days after we've played them for the last time this season!...

Could meet in the cup. That's been mentioned elsewhere though, but yes, remarkable timing.

Rish v Reward of that and saving maybe £2.5m in wages....

As if this week could get any better...

How long before their HF05 fans declare him a cunt and threaten him with scary throat slitting gestures?

Say hello to our new signing! @E_Adebayor! Looking forward to playin alongside my bro! #CPFC

I didn't know they were relate... Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

I'm actually genuinely pleased for Ade... when he first left the club, the toxic nature of his last few months had been removed, but now he's off the wage bill... the millstone has been lifted from around our (financial) necks finally...
