I hope we get another striker in Jan personally. I've said from day one that he's a good player, but he has too many off days.

So what has gone wrong with adebayor?
Looked so good last season and this season not, what has gone wrong?
Is it because he got his big contract or has he still not got full match fitness. Im wondering if he is like huddlestone in that he needs 20 games to get up to speed. His close control has gone and he does not look like he is bothered. Bebratov has that look but he has always kept his close control.
Comparing ade to dempsey someone i slagged off a lot at the start of the season at least dempsey always tries hard. I think i can see why when ade has got his move to a big club he always gets let go because his attitude is not what you need from a top striker in a club trying to go places.
My hope is we can shift him to russia in january because i think we have been sold a dummy.

Re: So what has gone wrong with adebayor?
As the old football saying goes, he needs to get a goal, by any means possible. Off his bum, if necessary. Right now it's dispiriting watching him snap at his shots and make the wrong decision time after time. Both those things can be resolved through confidence, which comes from goals. Hence the need for him to get one is immense right now.
Beyond that, not too much wrong with him. He tries hard, and he gets in the right areas, most of the time. It's just that final flourish he's utterly lacking in at the moment.

I don't think he tries hard. That's my biggest issue. When he puts the effort in he can be immense. Just look at city and arse away fro examples of what he can do.

What's wrong with him?
He doesn't score EVERY single chance he gets?
Doesn't hold up the ball perfectly EVERY time?
Meh
I might get my hair done like him as well. Looking good

What's wrong with him? He's just not a very good finisher, never has been. His overall play is good, but he has too many off days for me.

Re: So what has gone wrong with adebayor?
Nothing, he wasn't clinical enough last season and he isn't clinical enough this season, nothing's changed. He should have scored ten more than he did last season, he squandered some glorious chances. Speak to any gooner fan and they'll tell you he was erratic when he play for them.
Obviously an upgrade on Plug but I never saw him as the answer and it's nothing to do with being ex Arsenal.
I'm sure someone with time on their hands could put together a compilation of the certs he missed for us last season.

This is it has ever since he established himself in our team. He played out of his skin for the first few matches last season and looked first tier material. The he dropped off, and didn't look particulary bothered about it either. Could be that his body language is out of sync with the rest of the world, but to me he looks like he doesn't give a brick about Tottenham Hotspur. It didn't exactly help his ego that we begged him to come back this summer despite that, either.
As I've said before, he is exactly what we need, but he's not good enough at being exactly what we need.

This. Our fans won't have it, but there must be a reason why both clubs got rid of him.

Re: So what has gone wrong with adebayor?
The problem we have is that AVB is giving the Ade/JD partnership plenty of games. If things don't work out (and they're hardly working at the moment) he'll have to change things.
Siggy and Dempsey are definitely starting to show some form and really are pushing for a start.
Ade would have to miss out, and if i had too choose a striker for the final touch (ie shot) it has to be JD.
Now the obvious problem with this is dealing with the inevitable fallout from Ade after being bombed.
If we can do something in Jan window, then if Ade was enquired about we may all-in be better off letting him go.

Everyone was moan about his performance at Villa, but I thought he stretched their backline and allowed Defoe and Bale to do the rest
