Emmanuel Adebayor’s on-off move to Tottenham Hotspur is finally expected to be concluded in the days ahead which will come as a blessed relief to most. Manchester City will be hugely relieved to get their £175,000-a-week deadwood forward off the pay-roll, a development that is widely anticipated to hasten their swoop for Robin van Persie. Spurs fans will be extremely glad to see the Togolese striker – who bagged 18 in 37 games for them last season – commit to the Lane after his successful loan spell. Especially considering they presently only have one senior front man to call upon in Jermaine Defoe.
Everybody else meanwhile will just be happy to see one of the most protracted transfers in recent times come to an end.
Yet there are a handful of individuals in Liverpool L4 who are watching the saga with close interest and hoping that once again the complicated deal falls through.
The Cutter can exclusively reveal that while the reds are desperately hoping to off-load their expensive flop Andy Carroll on loan they are also looking to replace him with a temporary target man of their own in the form of Adebayor.
Despite recently shelling out £10.5m for Roma’s Fabio Borini new gaffer Brendan Rodgers views the Togo international as an ideal one-season addition to his new-look squad; a player with the proven street-smarts and sublime skills to hold up play and compliment the pass and move around him. Furthermore his track record in the Premier League is imposing with 78 goals in 181 appearances and his presence will take a large amount of the expectation and pressure off the young Italian who Rodgers has high hopes for.
However, unlike Spurs, Liverpool are not interested in seeking a permanent deal for a player whose exorbitant wages has proven to be such a hindrance to him leaving the Etihad. Instead they are playing the long game and hoping that City’s desperation to be free of Adebayor will result in them reluctantly accepting a loan deal identical to the one that took him to the capital last summer.
City are offering their once prized player for a knockdown £5m and are even willing to subsidise a substantial percentage of his wages for the next two years to any party willing to take him. The player however is refusing to commit to the lower wage packet he will receive at Tottenham and should he continue to dig in his heels the move could yet implode.
Should this happen don’t be surprised if Liverpool then swoop in one of the surprise moves of the transfer window.
We have been led to believe that the possibility has already been broached during City’s second attempt this week to lure Liverpool stopper Daniel Agger up the M62. Indeed the weeks ahead could see a flurry of activity between the two clubs with Agger rumoured to be seriously pondering a move to the champions whilst Adam Johnson is reportedly on Liverpool’s wish-list.
Quite how these possible switches effects the Adebayor loan deal is anyone’s guess – if they will at all – but it’s fair to surmise that Liverpool and Manchester City’s moneymen will be well acquainted by mid-August.
Typical liverpool after our signings again lol – Touche !!!!
Slutt å prat tull kula!
Have LFC said anything about stealing your pipe dreams? No. So stop moaning, Do you think we can afford the wages this guy thinks he deserves? We can no more afford him than you. This is the stupidity of clubs like City and Chelsea their players believe their own hype and agents distort the transfer and wage demands. It’s a house of cards for other clubs trying to compete. Never forget what happened to Leeds.
It was a joke. get over yourselves !!
(all I’ve seen over the last week is Liverpool fans saying we keep stealing their potential targets.
I just love the rantings of people over utter nonsense.
Relax
What a shitload of bullfuck, The daisy cutter! Stop wasting your ink and my time writing made-up fairytales!
Never in a million years. His ego is huge. He won’t fit into the type of player Rodgers wants. His 180 page dossier says players must have the right type of personality. He upset everyman and his dog at Arsenal. RVP refuses to join Citeh whilst he is there.
more of the same rubbish being spouted every day, All the papers and blogs plagiarising each others fictitious ramblings.
As to: (The Cutter can exclusively reveal that while the reds are desperately hoping to off-load their expensive flop Andy Carroll on loan)
How many times do LFC have to state Carroll is not going to be loaned out to anyone, he is also not up for sale.
If newspapers were banned tomorrow I would be happy as I’m sick and tired of lies, hacking and false reporting, Having been a victim of the Murdoch press Lies machine, I can tell you I hope the bastards all get jail time and Rupert falls off a boat like his mate Robert Maxwell (was he pushed), who I was working for by a strange twist of fate (He bought the firm I worked for to screw the pension fund) when the NOTW was printing their lies about me. It was no big story but it ruined my life. and I’ve never recovered. I know first hand not to believe what is written in papers.
Worst piece of crap I’ve ever read
Idontbelieveit it is entirely your perogative to consider this made-up nonsense (it isn’t I can assure you) but please don’t EVER compare me to Murdoch or his organisation again. Have a look at the Best of the Cutter section at the top of the homepage. An article I wrote called ‘Dear Scum: An Open Letter To The Sun’. I have taken on the Sun at every opportunity (who are a powerful enemy in my line of work) and do not take kindly to being cheaply lumped in with such vile people simply for finding out from someone very reliable that Liverpool are interested in making a loan move for a footballer then writing about it.
Tottenham have their scouts on holiday this summer, going after every player we looked at, Allen, Sigurdsson, Ramirez, Lloris, I don’t mind giving a taste of their own medicine.
Sigurdsson was knocked back by Rogers asking for 60,000… Do you honestly believe he wants Adebayor anywhere near his demands?
Also Rogers does not want a central figure other wise he would not even think of offloading the pony tailed donkey KD stupidly bought for 35m!
