He was fantastic last night.
Not without the artist formerly known as Ronaldo it hasn't.
Class, but still not champions league quality.

Can there be any more evidence that he would add absolutley nothing to our squad after tonight?
I still can't figure out how we are not on top of his table even though we've not lost any games.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.
Saha didn't really make it with us mainly due to injuries which severely limited his playing time.I would like to see people thoughts on Saha just before we signed, because in many ways, progress and career wise they are quite similar.
Both had notable talent from a early age but not quite lived up to it. Both found their feet in a lower league. Both had a breakout season in the PL (saha had two decent ones prior). Both performed well against us catching Fergie's eye.
A big difference between the two is the stamina/fitness issue. Saha has the athleticism of what you would expect from a player from a major club, Adams unfortunately doesn't and that's where hes get found out.
I am not suggesting we should buy him, but would not be shocked if we did. He however would be a upgrade on one or two of our midfielders.
I'm not advocating signing him, but this is complete bollocks, he would certainly add some improvement to our set-piece delivery, only a moron would think otherwise
What if we spend 10+ million on a player who can't handle the pressure? What then?

I thought to myself first half - should we be looking at him? He was up for it, playing well, a good deliver of the dead-ball, a good passer etc. You know, he played very well for those 45 but equally we played very badly. Would he thrive for us? Would he handle the pressure of the champions league? Personally he seems the type of player to grab a game by the balls at times, something we often lack when Rooney or Scholes aren't at their best.
Then, the second half came and in my mind Adams showed why he really wouldn't bring much for us in Europe - he was off the pace, he looked knackered and lost control of the game.
That's why he plays for Blackpool.

he's fat
Yes, but don't forget United would knock him into shape. Our players play for 90 mins not 45.
Ballon d'Or winner of the working class.

Carte d'Or winner more like.
20-30 percent!
"If you're saying I'm doing this because I'm getting 20-30% of the Adam money I'll not be very happy - it's miles away, absolute nonsense.
I assumed it was negating the whole clause, not the percentage

"I do get rewarded with anybody I coach and make a profit on. My chairman (Karl Oyston) looked at my record of producing players and helping players and selling them on and he wanted that at Blackpool.
"That's not what I'm (resisting offers for Adam) for. I'm on a far bigger bonus to keep us in the Premier League and Charlie Adam can help me do that.
He's denying that he's doing it for any personal gain full stop.
And I believe him.
