Adebayor to Qatar, highly doubtful
First there is talk of the Qatar government being interested in Tottenham and a figure of one billion being bandied about, then there is talk of two Qatarl clubs being interested in offering Emmanuel Adebayor a pay rise.
There have been many false reports that the Togo captain is on £170,000 a week at Tottenham which is not the case. When he signed Daniel Levy refused to sanction such a wage, he did make Adebayor the clubs highest earner but Manchester City had to pay him £5 million to compensate his loss of earnings by joining us. They were not very happy to do so but wanted shot of him so reluctantly agreed in the end.
He claims not to play for money but that episode, his flaunting of wealth and history [his better seasons coincide with playing for a new contract] show money is important to him. That makes the interest from the Middle East a little more realistic than would normally be the case.
Adebayor still has years left in him but does he want to play football or earn money? Reports say he is refusing to leave Spurs even though Levy has told him he is sick and tired of his negativity so will be sold or left to rot. Since then he has not been seen in a Spurs shirt and we have has the mother episode and then the family crisis.

The two interested parties are the reigning champions and leaders Lekhwiya Sports Club plus runners-up El Jaish Sports Club, who sit 11 points behind in 5th this season.
Clubs can sign three non Asian professional players. Former Swansea boss Michael Laudrup, who played for both Barcelona and Real Madrid in his playing days, has highlighted Adebayor as a potential leader of his attack.
I suspect it's a bit early in his career to be going to Qatar so he may be difficult to shift. A few clubs have previously shown an interest in him but they were put off before by his salary demands and as it is highly unlikely he will take a pay cut we may well be stuck with him a while longer.
