Spurs striker going to West Ham. Or he's not. Or he is?

Emmanuel Adebayor is having a bad season for Tottenham Hotspur and he makes a lot of money. It would be good for both Ade and Spurs if he went somewhere else. Does he have potential suitor?!? Sup, Rory Smith of The Times.

Here are some things I've heard. Adebayor to West Ham, Pogrebnyak to Bolton, Matt Jarvis to Derby, Taylor to WBA, Olsson to Swansea.

Yay! Ade to West Ham United sounds like a cool thing for everyone. I see no reason why this deal shouldn't go throu...

Emmanuel Adebayor's proposed move to West Ham has stalled

Aww nuts.

Now, of course, "stalled" doesn't mean "dead". We are starting to get down to the wire here, but there's still plenty of time to make a deal. It wouldn't be a Levy deal if there wasn't haggling over the transfer or loan fee, and it wouldn't be surprising if West Ham demanded that Spurs pay a portion of Ade's wages. It seems unlikely that he'd take a pay cut or that West Ham would want to match what he makes.

Get ready to wait and wait and wait until this is confirmed done or off after the deadline is done.
