It's never a quiet life with Adebayor

Money grabber Emmanuel Adebayor likes to flaunt his wealth with a string of cars, a private jet etc. He claims he won't reduce his wages because of the charity work he undertakes, but that is rather thrown out the window when he refuses to even look after his own family.

It's never a quiet life with Adebayor


Emmanuel Adebayor is reported as having dragged his mother out the house and hasn't answered her call for a year. She is now selling what she can on the Togo/Ghana border to survive. Previously there were reports he had cut off his brother in an effort to force him to get a job. Now he refuses to allow his mother or siblings into his house as they wish to destroy him with witchcraft.

Now reading the comments to the story it is suggested, by someone suggesting they are African, that Africans need to start fending for themselves instead of depending upon others.

This seems to be the crux of the matter and is not one we can really make a judgement upon, whichever side one chose there would be people vehemently opposing an opinion. There must be some common ground here surely.

When a family member dies you can't get that time back as Adebayor knows already. What if something happened to his mother, is this really how he wants to remember her, as someone he refuses to even speak to?

With regard to football matters, Togo failed to qualify for the 2015 African Cup of Nations, which makes Adebayor a more sale-able commodity in January. He it seems doesn't want to go anywhere, on a cushy little number at Spurs where he doesn't even have to try much to pick up over £100,000 a week.

Turkish side Galatasaray are said to be interested but they are always interested in players, they seem to sign very few of them. The tax situation is favourable for players to sign for them, millionaires pay a very low rate I believe so they receive most of their weekly wage.

Wesley Sneijder went there on a high wage and he is one of the players new manager Cesare Prandelli, who was managing Italy at the World Cup in Brazil, is now looking to offload. Manchester United are said to be interested in him but he claims to be very happy at Galatasaray, on his wage I'm sure he is.

In the Champions League they have scored 3 goals in 4 games and let in 13 so are in need of some more firepower as well as strengthening the defence. They sit second in the Super Lig table having scored 12 goals in 9 games, letting in 11. Fenerbahce are top on goal difference and Spurs' Europa League opponents Besiktas are third just 2 points behind.

It would be a sale Tottenham welcome and Tottenham fans welcome so fingers crossed something can be worked out. Then we just have to try and find a more reliable striker, not something we have been particularly good at in recent times.

Not talking to his family, not wanting to see them, not qualifying for AFCON 2015 (African Cup of Nations), not wanted by Spurs, it's never a quiet life with Adebayor.
