Are some people still trying to persuade themselves that Kenny isn't interested in Charlie Adam playing for Liverpool?

 

No its obvious that kenny wants him, just saying that all the ITK's know the square root of fuck all. These days you don't get to have a secret medical. If you have one the whole world will know about it.

He has told blackpool he wants to move to Liverpool. Blackpool holding out for 8 mill and upto 3 players on loan.

 

I think that last bit is bullshit. We'll offer 6 0r 7 mill with a pick of 2 from 3 players, jonjo, darby or wilson.

Hasn't Wilson gone to Rangers already? We'd be better off including Darby as a makeweight, although he'd probably only be worth about £500,000. Shelvey on loan and Pacheco or Ayala would make sense.

 

The talk from blackpool's end is they would be interested in taking wilson so I guess the rangers loan hasnt happened yet.

Talking to a big Liverpool fan last night who was at every European cup final up to and including Heysel. Understandably he hasn't been to a game since. I was asking him what he thinks of the players we've been linked with and he said he really likes Charlie Adam because he reminds him of Souness.

 

I was too young to remember Souness playing for Liverpool but from what I've seen he was a marauding midfielder kind of like Gerrard where as Adam seems to be happier spread the play with his good passing ability. He was also saying it's because Adam likes a tackle as well.

 

Maybe I haven't seen enough of Adam or I've the wrong idea about Souness but I can't see the similarity.

Souness was more of a Hammann type of player just sitting in front of the back 4 but with a hoddle range of passing and Keane style tackling, the complete footballer who it took two players in the team to replace what he gave us, Id have to say in my lifetime, Giles, Souness and Keane were out there on there own as complete CM players

I had the joy of Watching Souness during his hey day and I can see Adam filling a similar role, but references are hard as the game has changed and although Souness was brilliant it was in his era, not today. Adam has a better engine but the acid test will be can he look as good at LFC as Blackpool???? PS I think we will be OK this season other teams have issues.

You watched Souness and you think:

 

a) he wouldn't be brilliant today

and

b) Charlie Adam has a better engine

 

I think that might be the worst opinion I've ever read on here. Dearie me.

Adam has a better engine? A better engine? That Souness?

 

Oh my God, I'm going to look so stupid in 10 months time for this, but I don't agree that Charlie Adam has a better engine than the Souness.

Adam is more like Molby. Ie a fat bastard.

 

I think he's quite a lot like Molby. How that works in the modern game, I don't know. If we can get him for a reasonable price, I think he can certainly add something to us.

That's because there isn't one.

Comparing Adam to Souness and Molby? The world's gone mad.

 

Big jan may have been a fat bastard, but he could have brought a deck chair and a Dan Brown book onto the pitch with him and still run the game. Awesome player.

Just for the avoidance of doubt, I wasn't saying Adam is anywhere near as good as Molby. Fuck that.

 

He just plays a bit like him. Sedentary and can pass, pretty much.
