KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Charlie Adam - Yes or No

I suppose the question we should ask ourselves first is, Would you want Charlie Adam in your starting 11 if we were a title challenging team? Easy answer is no thanks, we need better quality then him otherwise we will never get there.
Good first half of the season by him but what since? he couldn`t get in the Rangers side and then played in the Championship, if he was real quality he would have been much further up the ladder at his age.

as we don't have a player that can take corners i reckon charlie adam will be amazing i reckon he needs to be in our squad he takes corners like penalty

wouldn't we rather have another Alonso, that can do that from the open play as well as the dead ball

I agree with Aldo, there are better players out there than Adam.

With >10m price tag, rather we look somewhere else.

What shocked me the most is both the manager and chairmen were being such b1tches e.g not picking up Adam's phone call, even after we bid the 15m they wanted for him, Holloway acts like Adam is the next Xavi or something. [/quote] WHY THE FACK WOULD WE BID 15M FOR HIM

I'd leave him too unless he is available for less than 6m. Useful squad player and could be a bargain but wouldn't break the bank for him. Swap him for J Cole and pay him half as much!

I like Adam, but he is not a first XI Liverpool player. So if we're getting him he's going to be a squad player, and he's going to get in the way of Spearing's development as a result (which in all honesty no one could have said was a problem during January, but look how things have changed). Having said that, we've been blessed that Lucas has been fit all season - everyone notes how much he's improved, but we also always overlook how many games he's played. If he goes down we are forced to play Spearing, and a double injury in midfield would destroy us. So we *need* another quality squad player to replace Poulsen, and Adam would do the job unless he costs too much. Otherwise we must get another "true" DM and avoid Adam.

Completely agree Thundyr but Adam is just going to cost way too much to be worth a back up position. If, we're spending that much money on a back up, I'd rather go much younger, someone with re sale value who might become a 1st choice one day.

only if he's cheap though!!
