There is no way you are going to activate that 14m in the summer,Unless He scored a double in the clasico and leads you to the champions league final
Indeed and he won't and he can't .. he is such a moody player .. a Togolian version of Benzema
maybe Jose has a magic stick , let's see
I am going to post as many pictures of Adebayor in a Real shirt as possible when/if he plays.
Just to rub it in.

Ade's Real deal
Adebayor to fill in until big names arrive in the summer

Guillem Balague told Revista that Emmanuel Adebayor will be a stop-gap for Real Madrid ahead of some big-name signings this summer.
Sky Sports' Spanish football expert revealed that a deal is in place for the Togolese striker to join Real on loan from Manchester City for the rest of the season after their bid to re-sign Ruud van Nistelrooy from Hamburg failed.
Jose Mourinho would then have an option to sign Adebayor permanently in the summer, but Balague feels it's more likely to be a short-term deal to cover for the injured Gonzalo Higuain.
And he says Real are biding their time before they bid for Atletico Madrid forward Sergio Aguero and Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente in the summer with Karim Benzemalikely to be sold to fund those signings.
Balague explained: "From the moment that Real Madrid realised that the van Nistelrooy deal was not going to take place, even though van Nistelrooy was willing to pay one million euros from his own pocket, they decided to activate Plan B.
"Plan B, by the way, is a better option for Mourinho. It's one that he preferred. He preferred Adebayor to van Nistelrooy and Adebayor will become a Real Madrid player because the clubs have agreed so.
"Real Madrid want to sell Benzema and finance the signing of Llorente with that money - and they also want to put 45million euros in Atletico Madrid's direction to get Kun Aguero. That's the buy-out clause.
"So they want to buy Kun Aguero and if they sell Benzema they want to get Llorente as well.
"So Adebayor is a little bit of a stop-gap.
