Would this striker capture be a gamble too far?

|

With Edin Dzeko set to move to Manchester City, Emmanuel Adebayor’s first team opportunities will be even more limited than they already are at Eastlands. Tottenham, West Ham and even Real Madrid have been linked with the 26 year old, but Sky Sports believe that Liverpool have also enquired about the services of the striker. Considering his high wages and a big fee that would be demanded, a move to the Reds would most probably be a temporary loan until the end of the season. With the Reds needing a striker, it seems an interesting prospect, but is Adebayor the type of player Liverpool need at the moment?

To some extent it is actually disappointing that a move from Manchester City to Liverpool is a possibility. After all, in years gone by, City would have seen the Reds as rivals at the top of the table but with the Manchester club 14 points ahead of Liverpool, and with the Reds all but out of the race for a top four spot, let alone the Premier League title, City obviously feel that the Merseyside club are no longer a big enough threat, to allow some of their players to leave for Anfield.

It is kind of dispiriting to see Liverpool being constantly linked with other Premier League club’s rejects but with while we lie in mid table; we must at least consider some of these options. The prospect of Adebayor at Anfield is a difficult one to debate. On the hand, Liverpool are in desperate need of a striker and somebody like Adebayor who has a good aerial presence and can hold up the ball would be an excellent addition to the team. He would certainly prove a better choice than Carlton Cole. As well as being a good foil for Fernando Torres, he would also contribute his fair share of goals, taking the onus off Steven Gerrard and Torres.

  • Suarez to liverpool says:

    Spend all the transfer money on Luis Suarez and Elia. But Adebyor not invited to Liverpool. WE DON’T NEED HIM.

  • jc says:

    we don’t need a lazy mercenary reject from multiple teams playing for liverpool.

  • Julie says:

    Ryan Babel wants to play 1st team on a regular basis, Luis Suarez is out suspended till February swap deal plus a bit of cash from our end & all parties are HAPPY!!! Winner, Winner chicken dinner. Ryan gets to play 1st team in a league he’s familiar with, Suarez’s suspension doesn’t carry to the EPL, it was the Dutch League & Ajax that suspended him so he’s able to walk straight into 1st team & have an immediate impact as for Adebayor yeah!!! I AGREE, WE DON’T NEED HIM!!!

  • Joe says:

    He’s just trouble, falls out with everyone he plays with, isn’t anywhere near as prolific as he used to be, and plays for one of our nearest rivals. Avoid.

  • Eric says:

    If he’s available for loan then why not? Certainly it will be a big risk if we buy him permanently but having him on loan until the end of the season may be a good option considering he’s a proven Premier League striker who contributes a fair share of goals.
