    Yes. Genocide is, of course, totally indefensible. Although I could argue a strong case in favour for Football agents!!..<grr>

    Interesting twist.
    Adebayor supposedly upped this photo to his Facebook page (no idea if it's genuine):

    please log in to view this image


    His comment that went with it was this: "Bonne Journée à Tous !! Très Bientôt je vous Dévoilerai le Nom de mon Futur Club. !! BLESS !!"
    Roughly translated, that means: "Good Day to All!! Very Soon I Will Unveil you the Name of my Future Club. !! BLESS !!"

    The thing is though, he was at a match between the New York Red Bulls and the Philadelphia Union today at the Red Bull Arena.
    He was linked with Thierry Henry's current club a while ago, but we're also heading out there to play them on the 31st.

    Would Levy tie up a deal over there?
    Would Adebayor go to the MLS?
    Is this stupid transfer going to drag on for even longer than Vertonghen's did?

    Daniel Levy is in the States at the moment because his wife is ill. If Ade is also in the States then there is a possibility that a deal will be tied up soon.

    There's a lot of underused talent at City that is going to waste because no one is willing to take a pay cut. Will be impressed if you guys get Ade to take one...which looks very likely.

    I can't think why Ade would be in the US, unless he's on standby to join up as soon as. He's still a City player and should be training somewhere otherwise. He's 29 and still has a few years CL standard football in him, why on earth would he toss it off in the MLS??? its a bit odd and I don't know what to make of it...can't find out either! <grr>

    Ha ha! Wouldn't surprise me if it hadn't really!
    It's so frustrating as a fan not knowing what's going on behind the scenes. All we see is nothing much happening when we all know where we need strengthening. I don't know about you but I read the bbc gossip pages everyday hopeful for some news. I know it's usually b*llsh*t but there has been nothing at all the last couple of weeks. Please hurry up and make some signings!!

    I'd guess at Henry.

    No, i don't believe it, he's enjoying his football more than he has for years.

    Big picture...City want RVP, things are getting tense there, they can't buy him till Ade goes, Levy wants more cash out of City toward his wages...and why not I say! Who's in the driving seat? :) Thinking more about it, Ade looks very relaxed, there's no stressy comments in the papers. If Levy's screwing City then I'm happy to wait. Go on Danno my son!

    None of these equate to top salaries in the Prem League. Ade would be on £9m/$14m (assuming £175k pw?)
