I didn't know they were relate... Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh:adeohshit::adewtf:

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...

is he actually off our wage bill now? I thought he was contracted on 100k until June, and palace are only paying 70k of that, or something similar?

Urrrrgh! Probably. I hadn't actually looked into the maths!
Would probably explain why he didn't sign for them before we played each other last weekend... contractually obliged not to or some shit!
Well I hope he earns the £30k he's getting from us by scoring (and helping them) beat all the teams we need them to beat!!

yeah, that's a good point. Now we've played them would be good to see their early season form return.

still can't believe we're paying him money, it's like paying maintenance to the ex-wife :pochrolleyes:
 
I don't hold any ill will toward Adebayor. He is another who worked for a while, then didn't...there are far more targets worthy of disliking, and with luck he'll stick a few away against Leicester, Woolwich, Liverpool, United and City.

I'm not concerned about Palace catching us up.
 
I hope he scores plenty, helps CP to beat our rivals and other cunts, before doing absolutely no training in the summer and sitting around, getting paid a fortune, taking the cunt all next season, and the season after,and the seas.....
 
Spam give it all the big un, yet only seem to secure a couple of signings and then ponce off of other clubs. Is there not a limit to the amount of loan players a PL team can field.
Must be very, vet disconcerting for their fans to hear all the 'large' rhetoric form porno brothers but the CPFC can afford to pay Adebayor and they can't. Now they want another striker, Heard big bollocks Sullivan on Sky saying we are signing a striker when in reality they are trying to loan another.
Fuck me, the players they have on loan at the moment would probably cost about £30m max for the 4 of them.
How long have they had Jenkinson of the Woolwich and still haven't bought the cunt.

I can't see Ade putting in a defensive shift like all their other forwards. He may do a typical Ade and run about trying for a game or two. He may even do it for the rest of the season. I think at Man U away was the only time I saw him put maximum effort & track back. It then went slowly off the boil.
I can see him doing what he has done at every club he has been at. I think Jordan will be the next to be hoodwinked & put him on a long contract with their highest wage packet ever.
 
Been said ealier. Lets hope he bring back CPs form , they play all above us and Utd.. Its little things like this that just might help our season.
maybe we should add a goal bonus to his wages?

I'm only surprised that they didn't announce OUR 5th Rd draw before the draw had been made...
it was WRITTEN! (but not in his contract hopefully!!)

We will be just as much 'up for it' as he may be. We are season fit, harden professionals, he's been out of work all season, lazy and cant be bothered and just signs a contract when he needs money?
We will deal with him, he may score (thats in the script) but we get get more.
 
Crystal Palace's Emmanuel Adebayor lifts lid on relationship with Tottenham's Pochettino and Levy
By Mark_Ritson | Posted: February 18, 2016

Emmanuel Adebayor will return to former club Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday and look to knock his former employers out of the FA Cup with Crystal Palace.

The 31-year-old's career at White Hart Lane started well before it soured towards the end.

Adebayor fared well at Spurs, scoring 18 goals in 37-game loan spell during the 2011/12 season, before making it permanent from Manchester City for around £5m.

Then, in 76 appearances across three further seasons, he notched another 24 strikes.

Under Harry Redknapp, he thrived. Under Andre Villa-Boas, he was given game-time initially before he was frozen out, and under Tim Sherwood, Adebayor was brought back to life.

With Mauricio Pochettino in charge, the man from Togo was given a good run of games – but that started to decline hugely at the start of 2015 – and his time was up.

But Adebayor insists he holds no grudges against the Argentine manager ahead of Sunday's encounter - but instead has bad memories of Spurs chairman Daniel Levy.

"With the club itself, it wasn't a good relationship with the chairman Daniel Levy as he made everything complicated," said the striker.

"But at the end of the day, I know where I am from and if you want something, you have to stand strong for it, and I stand strong for what I think.

"People will judge you, but I know what I have been through in my life and what I stand for.

"My relationship with Mauricio was beautiful. I think we had a very, very good relationship with man-to-man conversations.

"We always talked, but at the time he told me 'Emmanuel, I can't count on you anymore' and I understood that. I realised my time at Tottenham was over and I moved on.

"Today, Tottenham are happy – they are playing well – and I am happy playing for Palace. We both have moved on as a club and as a player."

I suppose he made everything complicated for your frequent compassionate trips back home too?
I also suppose it was him who complicated your move to Villa too?

He also said this about the other club who weren't too keen on giving him money for old rope.

You want to go to Spam Ade, to stay in London, to play for that club that humiliates us publicly at every opportunity.
What, they want us to pay for that privilege too?
Ok, then. Off you go.

I have nothing against Adebayor, but please fuck off Adebayor. I saw the club treat you fairly when many times you took the piss.
