Mr Elwood P Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Charlie Adam could literally not leave the centre circle, receive the ball from defence and play forward passes to the strikers and that would improve us vastly. I’d fancy him to get even get 1 or 2 goals from his customised centre circle position. If he can run a bit and takes free kicks, pens and corners he would have a Berra / Naismith / Lafferty level of impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTweedy Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 8 hours ago, jamtartan74 said: Dont agree with the Roy Keane comparison, Keano was a solid in ur face tough tackler box to box kind of player, Adam imo plays a bit more football than Keane did and is technically better. Keane was brilliant but Adams experience would help our midfield massively. I just used Keane as an example of a top player that couldn't adapt to Scottish football despite having played for years at a higher level. Joey Barton would be another example, and there are probably others too! Just to be clear, I'm not saying that I think Adam would struggle up here, just that it's not guaranteed that he'd be a success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauld Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 He would improve us. He's easily capable of playing for another one or two seasons at this level. He isn't as energetic as a lot of fans like to see but Haring/Djoum/Cochrane etc could compensate for that. He doesn't need to be all action because he is very good at making the ball do the work for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather we give Harry Cochrane more chances, unless, of course, the coaching team have decided that he’s not going to make it.

jack D and coke Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 2 hours ago, LarrysRightFoot said: Personally I think he’s exactly the type of signing we need in midfield. Rangers are his most likely destination but I’m sure there were rumours that Gerrard wasn’t his biggest fan in their Liverpool days (that could be nonsense though). Also not sure they would sign him and Davis as they both play at the base of midfield. Sure it was Craig Bellamy who slated Adam big time at Liverpool for the way he looked (or didn’t in his case) after himself. Wouldn’t be surprised if Gerrard felt the same. 2 hours ago, Superunknown said: Pirlo on pies Brilliant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartbeat Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 If the club decide to pursue this and it happens I will support the decision in the hope it’s the right one, I do though have reservations and if we are paying a lot by our standards and/or it’s a long term deal then we shouldn’t. Always thought he was a wee bit fortunate in the moves he got whilst recognising he could ping a ball,as said before it’s a fast physical league where sometimes endeavour trumps ability so he would have to get time and the chances to use what he has. Pace he has never had and I never thought he looked the fittest so at 33 that’s my reasoning, nothing against him just a bit dubious as well as noting that it further holds back the youngsters in our squad. if it happens hope it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgieshed Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 As many have said already, he would be a level above most of the team. I will be surprised if it happens but make no mistake it would be a massive coup. Levein always has a strong spine to the team. Get the goal keeper situation sorted and what a spine we would have. Berra/Soapy, Haring/Adam and Naismith/Uche/Vanacek (could be anything). U could throw in any 4 or 5 averages players and that team would compete with most.

Absolute Scenes Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Folks concerned with Adams fitness and being able to handle the game....you do remember he started his career in the SPL? I also think it’s no coincidence Naismith has also found form returning to the SPL because it’s a league he knows and can’t forget, having spent a lot of time playing Scottish Football. I think the same applies to Adam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
