Has Adebayor finally been found out?

Emmanuel Adebayor has prominently been known for being able to really turn on the style with a physical and at times bullying presence, which can too deliver goals.

He has played for some of the World’s elite side’s he had a sensational season at Arsenal where he bagged over 20 goals before he moved in a high profile £24 million transfer to Manchester City.

It appears though ever since he moved to the Etihad and beyond his career has seemed to never quite reach the height it did whilst he was at the Emirates.

There were glimmers of potential in his loan spell at Real Madrid but his lack of workrate cost him a permanent move there under Jose Mourinho. Last season he appeared to be an ever present under Harry Redknapp and in spite of the large wages he was viewed as a steal at £5 million before the season began.

Now Tottenham supporters at White Hart Lane seem to understand why. The Togo international appears to only want to play when a contract is on the line and a chance to line his pockets.

Adebayor has been given a chance to be welcomed into a football club in desperate need of striking talent, yet refuses to take on the burden and instead but in lukewarm and lazy displays.

The frustration is the talent remains, yet you suspect he needs to find it sooner rather than later or he will be put in the bin pile at Tottenham as they find a new striker to help carry the goals alongside Bale in the summer.

Whether he can or not is another matter and greater players than him have failed to realise their full potential for their whole career. One Michael Owen springs to mind.
