If he wants to break Drogba's record, he's going to have put a shift in, and score goals.
I don't care if that is the only thing motivating him, that's good enough for me

Came across very level headed and honest.

We need someone to smash them in and if he can do that, then great, his record is impressive, but then his fall-outs are also widely recorded. Hope we keep Jedi in this window, sense his influence could be vital in keeping the squad focussed and honest.

Welcome Ade, prove me and the other doubters wrong please.
Agreed... I particularly liked what he said he can bring to the team and dressing room if he's allowed to laugh and be himself. We have strong, level headed, management at the club who encourage self-expression within the ethos of the club. Could the masses be wrong?... is the Earth flat?

Now we wait, support and watch. Great times to be a Palace supporter!

Six years ago today we went into administration...now we have Cabaye and Adebayor. I'm excited by this signing and our position in football...don't care what any of you negative lot have to say about 'he could be this, he could do that blah'. Lets enjoy having a player who's played for arsenal and real Madrid in our team.

I liked that he said he already knew some of our players and was looking forward to playing with them. Even if he doesn't have a passion for Palace, he should want to do well for his mates and not let them down.

Wasn't so keen on him referring to himself as 'Adebayor', rarely a good sign when people refer to themselves in the third person!

Read somewhere this morning we are paying him around the 70K mark a week with the top up coming from Spurs - a calculated risk but cost halved if we can shift Campbell

He'll also be aware that his money runs out at the end of the season. Going to be much easier for him to find a club if he's banging them in with us.

As a 6 month stop gap I'm all for it.

Even a 20 minute cameo at the end of the game will carry more goal threat than our other attackers.
Indeed. And he'll get match fit by playing matches. As long as his base fitness is good, which it probably is, he should hopefully be able to make a cameo Saturday or Tuesday.

From seeing other interviews with him, I think he understands he's a commodity in his country, and to his fans. So when he does refer to himself like that, he's talking about the 'brand', not himself.

I must say, I like him from the interviews I've seen. Seems pretty honest, enthusiastic and switched on. Aside from what he can bring on the pitch, I suspect he'll prove a few people wrong and actually be a very positive influence in the dressing room.

Top strikers score goals. Adebayor is a top player, he will score goals.

The most similar recent transfer I can think of is Anelka to West Brom/Bolton. He scored goals despite being written off as a mercenary/sulker etc. Even though it ended somewhat acrimoniously at WBA, he scored goals during his time there.

I am sure Bayo will be the same.

Me too! A weakness of many an ego-driven boxer who believe themselves to be a brand. But, on the whole, happy to have the man on board.

Me. I think it's a dreadful signing. The fella will take at least a month to get match fit/sharp having not started a competitive game since November 2014. We'll be paying him a shit of load of money. He's widely regarded as a lazy and troublesome player etc..

Of course, I hope I'm wrong and I will celebrate every goal he scores like a madman - And I genuinely hope it's plenty, but I just can't see it.
