Charlie Adam

[Whelan]

I wonder where he will play?

 

I suspect as holding midfielder, particularly at home!

[stringvest]

Excellent news - I'm quite excited about Adam.

[usernameunknown]

Delighted. Not sure there will be an inbetween with him, think he'll either be hopeless or brilliant and I reckon it'll be the latter overall.

[nAz]

Really happy about this. A player that can fit into the way KK wants to play easily. Good passer and someeone we have missed since xabi left. keep things ticking in the midfield and play killer passes. Hopefully get a couple of wingers for him to pick out as well as carroll from set pieces.

[Wor Horse]

Woooo.

 

Pleased with this.

[Major Tom]

Charlie Adam. Unbelievable.

 

Saying that, I wish him all the best and hopes he carves up for us!

[Reacher]

Signed for real according to sly sports.

[KinskiRage]

Jesus, that was a fucking ordeal. Glad to have him onboard.

[WaltonRed]

Who we giving in part ex?

[redsoxs]

9m? Fucking ridiculous amount.

[Mr Nando]

Unbelievable.

[DPW]

Hope its in his contract that he has to retweet less.

[RedEagle]

8-9m with Konchesky going the other way and Shelvey on loan doesn't sound too bad I don't think.

[Major Tom]

8-9m with Konchesky going the other way and Shelvey on loan doesn't sound too bad I don't think.

 

So that values Adam at over £10m?

 

Doesn't sound that flash to me.

[Glen C]

Where are these figures coming from? I haven't seen anywhere which says how much we've paid.

[WaltonRed]

No one knows so stop guessing people

[RedEagle]

So that values Adam at over £10m?

We've got Konchesky off the wage bill. It's vital that we get rid of dead wood. We've paid 8 million while getting rid of someone who was puncturing a hole in our wage bill.

[WaltonRed]

Where's it said Konchesky's gone? he's on about 90k a week, he wouldnt go to B'pool!

[Wor Horse]

Signed for real according to sly sports.

 

Another target gone, didn't see him as a Galatico though.

 

9m? Fucking ridiculous amount.

 

You're fucking ridiculous.

[Major Tom]

Sure getting rid of Konchesky is great but it's the paying of nigh on £10m for another central midfielder - and one who has 2 players better than him at the club already - that has me completely stumped.

 

All will be revealed of course but the transfer policy makes little sense to me as of today!

[Whelan]

Where's it said Konchesky's gone? he's on about 90k a week, he wouldnt go to B'pool!

 

Is he f**k! Not even half that amount. If that unflushable turd goes the other way he would have paid back half his fee already!

[Faustus]

A player is only ever deemed to be overpriced if he fails.

[John101]

He hasn't signed yet, so before he does, i will voice my concern. I think he is overweight and slow, with his passing being massively overated. He takes a good set piece, but i fully expect him to flop and not be on the pitch to take them.

 

However, that said, i hope he turns out to be a great player and become an integral part in our pass and move philosophy.

I am not that happy, I don't rate him, and don't see him as being worth more than 5 or 6 million tops!

 

But, I would have said Konchesky, Cole, Paulson, Maxi, Jovonovic and N'Gog can all go for free if it gets them off the wage bill.

 

So, 8 million plus Konchesky may be 12 million on paper but it is worth it, same goes for Downing 15 million plus N'Gog may be 20 on paper, but worth it! In my opinion that is.

[Glen C]

i think he's a decent signing that will offer something to the team. I don't think he's a GREAT player but he could turn out to be pretty good. Good at set pieces, has a good range of passing(even though its inconsistent) and has a good shot on him. If he can improve his work rate and tracks back when he loses the ball he will turn out to be well worth the money.
