He'll flop.
Charlie Adam | Set for talks with Liverpool

When you bear in mind his set-piece and tactical obligation to get the ball in behind the full-backs as early as possible, they're not completely terrible. Still a concern though for a big club, especially given his propensity to lose the ball in deeper areas which he increasingly demonstrated as the season wore on. Certainly nowhere near as reliable in keeping possession in the heart of midfield as the likes of Scholes, Ferguson or Murphy.
HAHAHAHAHa
Hope he falls flap on his face for them. Still, more of a team player than StevieMe ever will be.
Any idea how much they paid??? (Please let it be 10m+)

The kit man at Liverpool just asked for a raise, signing Adams doubled his workload.
Did your mate also say that they are going to win the premiership now? That's normally what they come out with!
I firmly believe that Adam can save them from relegation.
Made 68 fouls last season, 3rd most in the league behind Tiote and Davies. 11 bookings also 3rd most behind Ivanovic and Tiote, joint with Figueroa - according to premierleague.com
Tough player.
That's more to do with his lack of speed than his actual toughness.
Just glad he's not signing for us 
Yeah good news.He's of the market.
Check out the Charlie Adam fan page on Facebook, the comments are nauseatingly hilarious.
Clumsy player.
Dalglish looks like a mugger.
That tackle on Bale was very clumsy.
He was just as 'clumsy' in the very next game but luckily missed the opponent.
What to sing...'you scouse bastard' or 'who ate all the pies?'
Decisions decisions.
Decisions decisions.
Finally! Decent signing.... for Liverpool, but not for us.
I'm sure tubby will do his bit in their midfield and get them results against most teams in the league. He's a very good passer and delivers a testing set piece but he will struggle during the 90 mins against opponents with higher workrate and more technical ability.

tou-fecking-che!
I'm struggling to think how they plan to play next season.
They have Lucas, Suarez, Gerrard, Henderson, Adam and Carroll who will expect to be part of the front 6 and aren't on their way out of the club. Not to mention Kuyt as well.
The way I see it is:
-------Henderson-------Lucas
----------------Gerrard
--Suarez----------------------Adam/Downing
----------------Carroll
Which leaves them with 0 width except when Downing plays.
Also they'd have to put their best player (Suarez) in not his best place unless they shunt Gerrard out wide and play 2 upfront.

Ken Knee will start by playing Stevie G in CM. he might even go for the bigman/little man two up front vintage 1995.
They need to start selling. So much dead weight to shift.

Aquaman?
Damn it Blackpool. You let them get Adam for only £7m. I was hoping they would pay around £10-12m for him.
I prefer:
Reina
Johnson Carra Agger Aurelio (for one game)
Lucas Adam
Kuyt Gerrard Suarez
Carroll
Can change Kuyt for Henderson depending on how good he is.

Devilishly handsome though.
Excellent line up if you neglect the fact that it actually isn't excellent.
Joe Cole ponders over a move to Tottenham
Worse line ups have beaten you lot regularly. Only problem has been when some of these key players have been out injured. That's what we're trying to address I guess, just a bit more expensively than I thought.
Better line ups have finished out of the top 4.
Good goalkeeper.
The defense is shit, Carra is terrible these days, Johnson isn't really great at defending, Agger is pretty good but always injured and Aurelio is alright but has the same problem as Agger with injuries.
Midfield is alright I guess but not top class. Lucas is decent, as is Adam. Henderson is nowhere near as good as the Scouse think he is. Kuyt battles like an animal and I actually think that he makes up for most of his lack of talent by never giving up (isn't class or anything but useful). Gerrard is far from what he once was, he's still good but struggles to get a run of games because of injuries.
Suarez is class, will probably be very good in his first full season. Carroll is a good player but his head is a problem, as are injuries. If he stays healthy and can keep his head together he'll be pretty good as well.
In my opinion they'll be right there fighting for the fourth spot but it will be tough. United, Chelsea and City are given for the top four spots and I'm still betting on Arsenal despite losing players. Liverpool and Tottenham will probably be left below the others.
Come to think of it, they really don't need to play next season:
1. Manchester United
2. Chelsea
3. Manchester City
4. Arsenal
5. Liverpool
6. Tottenham
edit: I'm assuming that Meireles goes but he does make their midfield better, he's a very good player.
Christ, he must be good.
No, he just occupies that much of the pitch.
To be honest, this would look already like a progress for Liverpool.
Yeah, it could go either way though. I'm just betting on them to be a bit better than last season but it could go the other way.
Why are the dippers stockpiling so many distinctly average midfield players?
