all good sides have central midfielders that compliment each others game.
the prem is fast paced end to end football and you have to be effective on the counter. we need a good passer of the ball who can distribute quickly and turn defence into attack. for me adam fits the bill and quality from set plays. like a younger gary mac.
think masch/alonso or khedira/schweingsteiger etc

adam won't control the game in anyway he is just useful for 60 yard passes he wont dictate a game for 90 minutes adam is average, look past his odd amazing pass and tell me what else he brings to a team. and where is gerrard next season? because you have more chance of flying to the moon than gerrard getting consistently dropped for adam, thankfully

but he has ran games against much better sides than blackpool this season. he might not be the quickest player but he doesn't have to be. what more do you want from a midfield playmaker?

Seriously though, Gerrard is a terrible CM,
Are you serious?! That's an insult to a player that's given so much. Gerrard might not be what you want in a center mid but don't insult him by calling him terrible! Give the lad the respect he deserves.There's not a team in England that wouldn't want to have the so called "terrible cm" in their midfield. So potentially we will have Lucas, Raul, Gerrard and Adam next season? Who plays?

step sideways? are you having a laugh?
ok he may be a poor mans xabi alonso but charlie adam is a quality player imo mate. our club has heavily declined since alonso's exit so its evident we need to invest in this sort of player. there are other decent players out there like nuri sahin and ever banega but adam is already a premiership player and far more suited. 9 goals and 7 assits ain't a bad record

its not a bad record at all he even scored straight from a corner :O, but at the same time you have to remember he takes every set piece for blackpool he wouldn't if he came to us so those numbers would probably half at us next season, but im talking more about open play and apart from the odd spectacular 60/70 yard pass i don't see what he brings, and if we do sign him this time next year we'll still be talking about CM being a weakness

goals,passing,assists,free-kicks,corners,a left foot, controlling games. thats six things. worth a lot more than 12m too. ask holloway or carra,harry redknapp ,kenny etc.. ie people that know something about football you seem not to lets buy him 20 million number one target, i really hope fergie doesnt get him or utd will fast be on their way to titles number 20 and beyond LOL, he's and average footballer and if you think he runs football games your an idiot have you watched blackpool? there isnt one tiny bit of control in their games just end to end entertainment, so where have to seen him control a game of football?

I think we have sorely missed that 50-60 yard pinpoint passing to unlock defences ala Alonso stylee.
That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.
