Adebayor must make sacrifice to secure Spurs deal

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has admitted that Emmanuel Adebayor must take a pay cut if he wants to secure a permanent deal at White Hart Lane.

The Togolese striker is currently on loan for the season at the North London club from Manchester City, and has scored three goals in four consecutive Spurs’ victories in an impressive start to his time with Redknapp’s men.

Despite the fact that he seemingly has no future at the Etihad Stadium and would be available at a cut-price transfer fee, Redknapp has admitted the forward will need to take a drop from his current £150,000-a-week wages.

“If Emmanuel maintains his current form I would love to keep him but
his wages are going to be a major stumbling block, that’s for sure,” the
coach told The Sun.

“I have no idea how much we are paying towards his wages at the
moment as the chairman [Daniel Levy] deals with those issues but I
suspect they are massively subsidised by City.

“The only way we can realistically get a deal done is if Emmanuel is
prepared to take a substantial pay-cut and put his football before
money,” he concluded.

Spurs continue their march towards Champions League football with a trip to St James’ Park on Sunday.

What a statement lought, seems you are in harrys mind and know his thoughts, better than he does himself.

The only job he wants outside of spurs is england as he feels that is the pinnacle of football management.
Lought, dont belittle the bloke who gave you cl for the first time ever and will repeat it this season.

but then done so bad the season after. we got champions league due to ekotto gettin injurid and harry having to cancel the loan agreement to loan bale out and for pav getting a chance and ended up top scorer and man c being rubbish

if you dont think harry would run to chelsea man u o a bigger club if they came crawling then your naive

If I were you lads I would just keep your fingers crossed that the offer never comes from Citeh or Chelsea if you want to hang on to Arry - he would not lose a heartbeat is squaring his conscience with his wallet (imo)as he has done previously

Cant understand why we cant just see the season out loughty and judge then.?

Ha ha ha ! i can see harry travelling up to the city training ground everyday day nic, as he approaches retirement, all the way from the south ! his family count for nothing when it comes to money ehh ?
He wants the england job and then he will retire to the bournemouth riviera.

Anyhow ! how was wenger persuaded all those years ago to stay at the goons when he was touted as wanted by real and all the others, wasnt a wage rise was it ?

harry just warming the seat untill the specal one come home lol[url][/url][img][/img]
