He has definitely played better than henderson this season. His chance creation is far better than carroll's or henderson's, backed up by stats. Watching the games for things that stats don't provide, he again has clearly been better than henderson. For 8 million, as a back up creative mid. He's been decent. Certainly not worth the level of childish mocking armitage just exhibited.

Have you got him in your side on FIFA?? Charlie Adam was bought as a good passer of the ball, bought for his set piece/dead ball ability!! none of which I have seen him do this season. As for stats, what a load of bollox they are, who are these compared to?? the rest of the team? or are they used to compare him against other players in the Premiership? if it's the later then he must be way down the rankings.

where are these stats then bigredknob?
cos the last time he played he gave away the ball about 80pc of the time, the rest of the time he was hacking and greco roman wrestling his way about the field

i just looked at his opta stats andthey are shambolic , he loses possesion 90pc ofthe time in the oppostion half (where it matters)cos hes a so called attacking midfielder

Henderson and Adam are not good enough for lfc.Championship level players.

Ask yourself...Blackpool and Sunderland..two struggling teams..was it prudent to take two players from those two aweful teams and then implant them into lfc crucial area of midfield in tandem along with downing and carrol..of course it was not.A recipe for mediocrity and by and large that is what we now have.Dalglish's blue print so far as the league is concerned is doing exactly as it says on the box and is all it can ever be expected to be.

In fairness, mate - Manchester United bought Valencia from Wigan, Smalling from Fulham, Jones from Blackburn. Chelsea bought Cahill from Bolton. Those are just recent ones off the top of my head - the list would go on. Whatever your opinions of Adam and Henderson, fine, that's one thing, and completely acceptable. But the argument that they're not good enough because they came from lesser teams isn't right.

I don't like this mentality that if a player isn't good enough for LFC, then suddenly they're classed as a "Championship standard player". If Adam, Henderson, Carroll, Downing - or whatever other LFC player you don't fancy - went up for sale tomorrow, there'd be plenty of interested parties for each of them in the Premiership.

Of course players are bought all the time from lesser teams.
Not many if any managers though have a 130m budget and go out and blow it all on mediocre players and then expect the team to do well.Dalglish needs to go...simple as that as hes ruining lfc with his abysmal transfers.Valencia etc were going into successful teams.

we may be able to sell them on but everyone would be at a very massive loss.


I will listen, only if your answer contains wisdom
