He'll go where he can get the best deal. If another championship team wants him and he's settled in England, he'll probably stay down there.

He'll go where he can get the most money, or back to his boyhood team (Dundee), if he's made his cash. If he comes to us it will be for money, no other reason.

19/05/2012 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Don’t know how I feel about signing a player who will spend his days off on sky sports or bbc Scotland giving his opinion on his beloved rangers.

jamboinglasgow Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Certainly would be interesting, technical ability he is fantastic but I unsure about how he will cope if we are trying to be high energy and high pressing.

BigAlim Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Adam, Vanecek and Dunne/ Shaughnessy in this window, Naismith, Djoum, Smith and Dikamona getting contracts and a couple of pre-contracts sorted out for next season would be a perfect window imo, if we're being greedy an extra winger would be the cherry on top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 11 hours ago, jonnothejambo said: Ok I'll tell you what I think and hope. He has made a lot of money out of football already, so I doubt that money is his main priority. Hopefully he will be attracted to the club and our ambitions and will be motivated to help us do well, help the youngsters and be influential on and off the park. A bit like Naismith' s reasons for being here. Of course, you may be right so we will see what transpires. I totally agree with you and I also hope he's made his money and will have other motivators, like being back in Scotland and being part of an ambitious club that could win one of the cups (ie us). He could potentially have the same impact as Naismith, but I have my doubts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djoum has pulled his socks up recently (literally last few games) having done the square root of feck all for us since he became an African champ...its not about ability with Djoum its attitude based...Charlie Adam would boost our starting 11 by some distance if fit and able...

The point stands though - from 24 games in charge of Scotland Levein decided Adam was one of our best two or three central midfield options 17 times, he obviously rates him. As you say, Charlie's game has never been about covering ground or closing down - losing a yard of pace means much less to a player of Adam's type than to others.

'The Rangers thing is something that it would interest me. Absolutely. I have been back more times this season than in the last four or five years. I can see it is going in the right direction. 'Steven has obviously put his authority on the club. The players are playing well, playing with an unbelievable amount of confidence. 'The manager has got it on a playing field where it is competitive and what a hell of a result against Celtic in the last game... 'The tails are up, they have momentum but they know it is going to be a big challenge from now until the end of the season. 'But at the moment there is nothing to it. We are talking up something that is not there but everyone knows I started my career at Rangers, I played in front of 50,000 with the pressure. 'It is something I'd relish and enjoy. I want to play.

Samuel Camazzola Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 On 01/01/2019 at 12:09, FarmerTweedy said: 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. I don't recall Keane not adapting to the Scottish game. Pretty much dominated most of the games I recall. In the 3-0 game at Tynecastle after they had clinched the league, he was impressive and you could see how much the result bothered him although several of his teammates looked to have chucked it. Different standards. He quoted in his book about his debut against Clyde in the Scottish Cup where they lost 2-1. Hartson got on the team bus with a can of coke and bag of crisps! ?
