Alternatively if it came down to needing a goal then bringing on the highest scoring "supersub" in the league might be an idea?
I didn't know we signed Chicharito.....

he's a good lad really, hoping he can do the business when he comes back soon.

Why are you "not surprised". If he's utter shit, Ssurely AVB would've recognised that and shipped him out?
Because this is his tactic. He has done the same thing at pretty much every club he's been at. Once the contract is signed he can relax on the bench or the stands. I suspect boas wanted him out but the player has the power in this situation.
Did you actually read the interview at the link? We know about the "sitting on the bench taking his wages" because we've read it from you about 30 times in this thread already. But the interview explains what has gone on this pre-season.
Yes I did read the link thanks.
Has the departure of Gareth Bale changed anything in Tottenham?
This does not change anything. He is a very good player. Last year was a great year for him. He fired in skylights to each flask. But it was seven seasons since he was there and it was high time he achieves a very good season and it was last year. Now he will play for the biggest club in the world and I wish him much success.
Just read the past few pages.
Whether he can or not, he's here so let's hope he bloody well does for what he's paid. Sure, if he's useless I hope we're rid of him by all means come next summer, but until then what's the harm in pulling for him to get to his best. Of course he can, he's shown plenty in the past he's a quality player. I certainly won't be so naive as to suggest he will, just hope he does man up and contribute this year.
Oof…Has the departure of Gareth Bale changed anything in Tottenham?

Maybe over idiomatically: "He went top corner with every ball."
I second that.....I'll support him & encourage for as long as he is fighting to wear the shirt.
Sure he can be frustrating, and send out mixed messages - but on his day (which thankfully we got to see tail end of last season) he can be unstoppable, so if he adds an alternative option & gives his all like we know he can do, then he's good by me.
As for picking up a fortune for doing pretty much sod all, aren't all premiership footballers?
I think I like Adebayor a bit more after the recent instagram meltdown. Good interview posted above too - hope he can pull it together for a few important games (10+ premier goals is all I ask Ade)
Now, not sure of legal status of this since Adebayor has deleted the Instagram post from his account, so please delete if lawyers, police or Ade's heavies enquire, but I was gonna do a gimp/photoshop job on it and did a screenshot (4th Sept 2013):

Well, from the headlines, it sounds like he's feeling motivated again, relishes the competition, and wants to regain the starting spot.
Can't be a bad thing for Spurs, if true.
