Re: Official - Adebayor
Ade Mk1 vs. Mk2 is not a made up thing, its been part of his career, that's why he plays for Spurs and not a title challenging side (which he easily has the talent for)
Ade Mk2 is not lazy, its not that he refuses to play/run/put the effort in, it's that he mentally isn't "on". Ade Mk1 can grab a game by the scruff of the neck and change it all by himself, bully defenders, lead.
The big problem is performance gap (not effort gap) between Ade Mk1 & 2 is really the difference between a 10-12 goal a season striker and a 25+ goal a season striker. Unfortunately I don't think we will see Ade Mk1 for more than 10 or so games for season.
I don't think you can criticize Ade for lack of effort a single game last season! He ran like his ass was on fire most of the time.
The Ade=Lazy is mostly just a journo made up thing IMO, same as the Europa League is more of a stress than CL. What is the difference in playing Thursday-Sunday/Monday and Wednesday-Saturday/Sunday? It's just because 'Arry kept whining about it, and made the press believe it too, that everyone considers it a fact.
