These are the positives but Emmanuel Adebayor certainly has a great many negatives as well. He is perceived as a somewhat disruptive figure in the dressing rooms at both Arsenal and City. At the Gunners, Arsene Wenger seemed to be pretty willing to let him go for £25million to City, despite his undoubted ability, while in Manchester, even as recently as today, he was rumoured to have had a training ground bust up with Kolo Toure.
Especially with Liverpool in as difficult times as they are at the moment, would adding the 26 year old to an already down dressing room be a good idea? With some of the players seemingly low on confidence as they are, would the combination of this and the notoriously confrontational Adebayor be a good mix? The striker is prone to having arguments with team-mates at the best of times, but if things are going poorly, won’t frustrations boil over even more?
In Liverpool’s current mid-table position, they certainly need players with his ability, but they also need players with the right attitude. Hopefully, if a move was made for Adebayor, the striker would come here to be positive and prove the doubters at City wrong. He could become a very good signing, but with the 26 year old, there is always the other possibility and that he could lower team spirit in a team that really needs to be high on morale at the moment. Do the pros outway the cons for you?

utter waste and disgraceful…doesnt deserver a bit to were the red shirt…
Liverpool should be going for Luis Suarez.
still do u really belive that man c would let their player go to liverpool,rival for top4 spot!!
Spend all the transfer money on Luis Suarez and Elia. But Adebyor not invited to Liverpool. WE DON’T NEED HIM.
we don’t need a lazy mercenary reject from multiple teams playing for liverpool.
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!!!
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.
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.
