The Surreal Football Team Of The Week

Wasteful yet prolific, Adebayor has been a bizarre mix since he came to Spurs, yet the fact remains that the battle for fourth will hinge largely on the injury status of he and his Dutch counterpart at the other lot down the road. His ability to lead the line is what Spurs lacked last season, and his addition means the team they have now is far superior to the one that finished fourth two years ago. Whether Redknapp, not unaccustomed to getting the best out of arseholes, can convince him to extent his period of effectiveness beyond the traditional six months, remains crucial. If he can, Harry can start dreaming of preparing for their European campaign. Preparations which will no doubt involve the futile begging of Daniel Levy to pay the wages of a player they already had this year, who will probably go off the boil when he no longer has anything to prove, before fucking off for the latest exciting vacancy in National Humiliation.
