I'd loan him out, give him the games and a platform to perform without pressure, see if he can cut it and what he can truely offer a team.

Cool that he made a name for himself in Norway though. But you are right he was so highly rated but i think he was just a part of the wrong era. With Gazza, McCoist and co he was probably an alcoholic by 19.
 
You didn't make a point. You said nothing of any note. I have not proven any point by slagging you off.

You said you wouldn't pay attention to me in any football related matters, other than that, absolutley feck all.

Unless you gave some amazing insight into the mercurial Charlie Adam on page 2 that I missed.....
 
I did make a point but it went whoosh right over your head, sort of like football really, whoosh right over your head....
 
Aye, that would be right. Where was the point? Cut and paste it here cos I only noticed you from the last post you made.

I'm genuinely interested.

His point was that he won't listen to your thoughts on football again. There you go - that's a point.

Maybe you should stick to football anyway though, instead of trying all out to be the internet hard ass and derailing the thread.

I had a point as well - favouring Cleverley over buying Adam is fine, but slagging off Adam in a ridiculously ott way in the process isn't very clever.
 
Stack, I'm sorry but I've looked through the thread and you only posted that one liner.

I think you're making shit up about having any point at all, never mind one that went "whoosh" over my head.

Keep up anyway. I'm off to bed.

That wasn't a "point" at all. It was an opinion. He may as well have opined that he didn't like cheese.

Who gives a feck about Adam? Can we not say he's a plodding journeyman if that's what we think?
 
Fadas is right about Fatarse - he's not top-drawer. Mind you Man Utd don't seem to have a problem with plodding journeymen as playing Park and Fletcher underlines.
 
I think Charlie Adam would do a job for us. He'd certainly give a lot more creativity in our midfield and his set-pieces would be a major improvement on what we currently have. We have a lot of tall timber and should be far more of a threat from set-pieces, especially corners, and our free-kick's are pretty rubbish also. I don't mind us buying a player who will improve a couple of areas of our team and give us better options than we currently have.

Those who say the 2nd half passed him by, are being too harsh. The entire Blackpool team was passed by for a lot of the 2nd half, they couldn't keep the ball. For their attackers and attacking mids, they had no chance in the 2nd half.

He's saying he's utter pish and a journey man. WHich he clearly isnt having been a young player he was sent out on loan, has had two real clubs his career up until now and is now looking to push on and become an established player in the English Premiership (best league in the world...). Now i am not for one minute saying he's top-drawer. But he has ability and has shown his worth. To write him off as a journey man and say he has nothing to offer is a bit of a misconception.
 
Bloody hell Frank for the last time 'journeyman' doesn't mean he's had lots of clubs - it means he's a good craftsman not an artist. Scholes, Fabregas et al are artists Charlie ain't though he's a decent player and worth more like £10M than 5.

He's a good player who has suffered from a bit of over-hyping in the last couple of weeks since the transfer rumours started. Personally I think he'd be a good addition for Liverpool or Villa.
 
Gibson is like Adam someone said :lol:

Adam is 10 times the player Gibson is!

Yes, we didn't win the only league season we've had since we left. And unfortunately it looks like we have no hope of winning it this year either.

Yeah, we are too far behind Arsenal in storey's table and everyone knows that winning that is far more prestigous than the actual league.
 
I just can't get excited about this bloke. Reminds of Danny Murphy when he went through a purple patch for Fulham. A cultured footballer who thrives on being the main man for a poor team but lacks the attributes to thrive at the very highest level.

His lack of stamina and mobility means he would be a luxury player for any team with CL ambitions and he's not quite good enough to build a team around him. Not unless that team is Blackpool.

The comparison with Gibson is really fecking annoying too. He's clearly a better player than Gibson but so what? Gibson cost nowt, so there's no harm giving him every chance to make it at United or raise some funds by selling him on (the most likely outcome IMO) The fact that player x is a better central midfielder than Darron Gibson is not reason enough to sign them. That's retarded logic.
 
I dont want us to sign Adams but I do think he is a quality player and so much of the criticism of him is over the top.

i.e. hitting two corners into the box.

I was only able to listen to the game on the radio but he was everywhere in the first half, pulling the strings and making them tick and was by all accounts, a constant threat - against the unbeaten league leaders. Cant ask for more than that.

If Scholes had performed like that you'd have been thrilled.

If Scholes had faded out of the game as completely as Adam did, after just 45 minutes of football, we'd all be saying it's time for him to hang up his boots because age had clearly caught up with him.

What's Adam's excuse?

was the same at the weekend - Richardson (i think it was one of his two) just strolled past him into the box for a free shot and goal. Terrible tracking (or complete lack of it) from him.

Blinkered view - you don't get much tracking back from Nani most of the time but people don't complain about that.

Its not acceptable but with a bit of coaching, or playing in a team where he's not the only player who can get them moving forward, he might be able to knock that out of his game. Certainly wouldn't be able to rest on his laurels at a bigger club and would need to knucke down.

He's worth a punt for a lot of teams at the prices being bandied about. What does £6 million get you in terms of quality? - Decent Championship player? Half arsed Foreigner? Good fooballer in a poor team - could be better in a better team and doesn't represent much of a financial risk. Can't see the drawback.

Well it won't get you Charlie Adams, that's for sure.

In answer to your question though, it got us Javier Hernandez.
 
Anyone heard the phrase big fish in a small pond? Does he have the mentality to play for Manchester United where the pressure is on and it's not about fighting for survival but winning. He's been a catalyst for them, but that ridicules his team mates in the process, they're not mugs and deserve their position in the league.

A lot of people put in good corners. It helps when you have people attacking your corners and us defending like wankers. He played wellish, but we were dire and if Sir Alex was that impressed we'd make a bid and we won't. We'd be happy for liverpool to waste 10 million on him. It's not a slur but this is Blackpools first season in the premiership and people should be talking 2/3 seasons in not 22 games in.

He's too much of a risk and besides we have better talent here just not ready yet.

Apart from playing against a supposedly very good side, who got themselves together in the second half? United were always going to throw the Kitchen sink at them with the experience they have.

You also ignore the fact that plenty of United players who are supposedly "world class" couldn't get into the game in the first half - including Scholes (which undermines yoru point a bit) and £200k a week Wayne Rooney who's been absolutely shocking all season, but is still supposedly worth tens of millions.

Paul Scholes has been one of the best players produced in England over the last twenty years. Charlie Adam isn't Paul Scholes, nor have I suggested that his is - so why hold him to the same standard? Especially when he's not surrounded by the supposed quailty in terms of team mates.

I also wouldn't call on Paul Scholes to retire after one bad half of football but that's just me.

I can't see that what I'm saying is controversial. I've watched him, he's a good footballer and is seemingly able to be an attacking threat against the best teams in the league. So I personally think that at £6 million (or somewhere close) he's worth a punt for a lot of clubs - especially when James Milner is supposedly worth £26 million.

Who after half a good season is being linked with Real MAdrid for three times that.

Sometimes a risk is worth taking.
 
Love how Sir Alex is making sure Liverpool have to pay over the odds for him.
 
Yeah, because of Sir Alex, Liverpool will have much more or might not even be able to afford him anymore. Bad bad Sir Alex
