ootball agent Phil Smith has told talkSPORT that Emmanuel Adebayor’s move to Tottenham is unlikely to happen.

And he has also rubbished speculation that Queens Park Rangers could be set to hijack the deal for the Togolese striker.

Smith was instrumental in engineering Adebayor’s move from ars*nal to Manchester City in 2009, as the African star left north London to sign a deal reportedly worth £170,000 a week.

But he has claimed the 28-year-old is pricing himself out of a move away from City as he seeks to resurrect his ailing career.

“I was involved in Adebayor going to Manchester City from ars*nal and he is quite ruthless when it comes to getting what he wants,” Smith said.

“He got a very good deal and quite clearly he wants his pound of flesh not only on the way in but on the way out.

“And I think it’s a deal that will die on its backside so who is it that is going to come and give moneybags Adebayor the money that he wants other than moneybags QPR and I don’t think they’d even be interested in him.”

its all getting a bit tacky with ade now,his minds not on football but just who he can screw for the best deal. shame really cause he does have talent but greed is overtaking that talent and drive to perform.after what he went through with the shooting buisness of friends, you think he would have a different outlook in life now and realise what a good hand he was dealt. greed consumes god given talent once again.lets leave him to his pursuit of his golden fleece and get someone in who still has the drive and dreams of football as a striker.

to be fair a big lump of hes money goes to hes country
but this is dragging on i hope this is not our main target

we need to forward players

lets hope its not gonna be a last minute rush job getting someone we didnt really want, just a panic buy. ( carrol)

i would rather take edin dzjeko from city than ade. apparently hes unhappy and wants out. 20 mill should do it before ac milan grab him

yep and hes strong but wont he be on big wages

maybe, but as much as ade ? who knows. doubt they let him go to us anyway.we need someone soon or we be playing catch up.
