There are falls from graces and then there's Emmanuel Adebayor.

2008-09: Adebayor wins the Match of the Day Goal of the Season award. 2009: Adebayor signs for big-spending Manchester City for €34 million. 2011: Adebayor goes on loan to the biggest club in the world, Real Madrid (we barely remember this, we must admit). 2015: Adebayor's looking for a job. https://twitter.com/SpursOfficial/status/642978092269608960?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw The controversial Togolese striker was released from his Tottenham contract by mutual consent this morning and it prompted the sarcastic hashtag #ThanksAde where Spurs fans could offer up their gratefulness to all that Adebayor achieved at White Hart Lane. https://twitter.com/Mattt8_91/status/642980278047244288 https://twitter.com/G_Pavlou/status/642986685807116288 https://twitter.com/Mattt8_91/status/642981722854936576 https://twitter.com/Difarent/status/642997433337839616 https://twitter.com/Mattt8_91/status/642981120884256768 https://twitter.com/StuartB_S/status/642987107305320448 https://twitter.com/DHarley1984/status/642995607745994752 Not everyone was so thankful of Adebayor though. Some Spurs fans reacted to the news like Christmas had arrived in mid-September. https://twitter.com/6footnewt/status/642978905511604224?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/G_Pavlou/status/642980133205340160?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/Superspur73/status/642983755418849282?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/dwoodley1990/status/642979441174540288?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/Bill_63/status/642981926714896384?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/StuartB_S/status/642980743539503104?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/mattmansfield10/status/642978929599467520?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/garethparry5/status/642981108360081408?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/thfc90/status/642983119914696704?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
