KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Are you getting tired of this Charlie Adam farce?

Every time Liverpool agree their latest demand a new one appears. First they want yet another loan player having already been offered two. Then another million.
I know Owen Oyston is an estate agent and is probably well versed in gazumping. I accept that Blackpool are entitled to get the best terms they can. That said, I think he's got an unbelievably generous offer already.
Charlie is a good player but not in my view worth more than 5-6 million given he only has a year left on his contract.
Furthermore, I don't think he's a critical signing. A LB and a wide player are far more important.
If Charlie really wants to play for us all he has to do is to tell Mr Oyston he will not sign for any club other than Liverpool and if they don't allow him to move he will simply honour his contract and in 12 months they will get sweet f.a.

But I don't think that CA does "only want to play for LFC", and it's very arrogant to assume that he does. It's probably safe to say that he wants to leave Blackpool but he'd probably jump at the chance to play for any Premiership club. The onus is on us to prove how much we want him, not the other way round. And with the season that he's just had, he and his agent are entitled to hold out for the best deal when they see us spunking "£20m..." on woefully average players, even if they are "young".
We've lost out on players many times because we haven't shown real desire to make the deal happen. I put it down to arrogance on the part of LFC thinking that a player should be honoured that we're interested in them (presumably because of "our history :yawn:), when the reality is that there are much more attractive options available to players.

I am getting tired of it yeah, but to be honest i've kinda more or less switched off. I'm not even checking football websites anymore, maybe once or twice a day - whereas before i was checking constantly any chance i got. The rumours do wear you down, and in this case with Adam, all of the alleged demands/conditions etc are really just hear'say. None of us truly know what's going on at the negotiating table. I think that Karl Oyston is an annoying pr!ck, to be fair, lol. Can't stand the guy, he's got some neck. But yeah, of course he's gonna try get the best deal for his club. He needs to ease up a little in digging his heels in though and show a bit of respect for his captain who - having had his dream move scuppered in January, COULD have sulked, but didn't, and continued to give his all for the club to try (but in vain) to keep them up. The least he deserves is a bit of respect from his chairman after that.

dont want charlie adam not a top player by any means he is an ordinary premier league player and in raul meireles we already have a top european player at the club .

Don't understand why we are buying him to be honest. He is ok but nothing better than we have. The only thing I can think off is there is some trouble with Meireles contract wise or other. I have no evidence or proof of that its a guess. Otherwise it seems money wasted to me

Is it possible that Kenny's considering a 4-3-3 formation for next season? With Carroll up front centre & Suarez & Kuyt as wing forwards, and 3 more central midfielders behind, a la Chelsea? Just a thought..

I think Liverpool should just make just 1 last offer. Take it or leave it. I think this Blackpool's chairman is just trying to play games. And I think that Charie Adam is not that keen in joining Liverpool. He just wants to play in Premier League regardless of any team that buy him. Yes...he is a good player but we do have players of his quality in our current squad. So just make 1 last bid and if they say they want some other things , just leave the negotiation table. There are other positions and other players that needs attentions too.


Just My Thoughts
YNWA...

charlie adam does want to play for liverpool he said in the papers and i hope we get him this guy has got vison and he is loyal and a great leader he will also get stuck in and will work hard for us.

is he better then raul meireles though, no raul i would rather have him then adam.


is he better then aqulani? i think aqulani vision and technique is better then adam but i don't think the problem with aqulani is the prem is to physical for him.


in kenny we trust

not really a farce lfc are holding out to not get fleeced as usually happens since the january mega sales

More of a grafter than a playmaker, so I don't really see how you can compare him to Meireles?

On saying that, I think Raul is the better player, unfortunately the old owners messed him about and promised him double wages or something silly and the new owners don't want to double them. Which, if true is understandable.
