http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11675/7299387/Togo-try-to-tempt-Adebayor I was hoping Ade would get a rest now, as I'm not convinced he's fully fit, if he joins up that's two games in the next week. I think we and he could do without that travelling etc, but obviously his call, if he wants to help his country, then that's his perfect right.
If he does go, I think game time may do him good and hopefully he can get on the scoresheet to help bring his sharpness in front of goal back. Just really hope Parker doesn't pick up an injury while with England, our luck with players on England duty has been awful over recent years - King, Defoe, Dawson... Please don't let Parker join that list, PLEEEEEAAAAAAASSE! Play Barry and Lampard, Fabio!
Defoe could do with a run out too. He's definitely better than a lot of the strikers named and I'm sure if he was out one of the old "top 4" his lack of playing time or form would be ignored.
Mixed news. Glad for him, but it's another player who will get a lot of time for his country. A number of our players seemed to come back pretty tired from the last round of internationals.
