Aye, exactly my point. If he wants that exit clause to stay it's more likely be because he wants freedom to move should a big club come in for him. Clause removed and us with bargaining power over fee, along with his knee problem will mean there's very little chance of somebody coming in for him. If it was about the money he'd be listening to our offer and seeing what he could get out of us. That said - it sounds like quoteless shit stirring from that prick Bird anyway.

ponsaelius Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Btw, the only team I was worried would come in for him this summer now no longer have Champions League football to offer him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 The only 'step up' I can see him getting is Spurs as they're likely going to have to find an Adebayor replacement on a budget, although it's debatable whether they're still a step up. Really can't see any of the Champions League clubs coming in for him. Only other possibility is PSG, but I think he wants to stay in the PL for the time being and with they money they have they'll likely have bigger fish to fry anyway. Personally, I believe he'll still be here when the the transfer window slams shut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Btw, the only team I was worried would come in for him this summer now no longer have Champions League football to offer him. Same here. Spurs looks like they'd rather get Adebayor and Remy, Man Utd/Arsenal don't need him and PSG/Chelsea will be looking at Falcao, Higuain etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ba isn't as hot a property as he was in January. Barren run + fears over impending injury + wages + agent fees for any buying club = upper negotiating hand with Mike Ashley and Derek Llambias Another hot run next season leading up to Christmas could give me cause for concern, but even this is mitigated by the arrival/initial success of Cisse. Ba is not as indispensable as he was to us. Doubt it's half as adversarial as the media will paint it to be, mind you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Strange (or not) that the two articles have come out at the same time. Something must be afoot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 If he'd scored even half the goals he scored in the first half of the season again post ACoN, he'd be gone. However with his goal drought and dodgy knee I don't honestly think anybody will take the plunge, certainly not any clubs that would be a legitimate step up. Naive maybe, but I'm not convinced. Spurs is the only potential possibility IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Strange (or not) that the two articles have come out at the same time. Something must be afoot. Do clubs still have press conferences off season? Just thinking if they do and certain questions are asked it's not beyond the realms of possibility that journalists will take different views of tenuous comments.
