Regarding Rice though, he's on £60k/week now and turned down £200k/week 18 months ago. He's not coming here Agreed. It's just a click bait story.

Deuce Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I could see Adams landing at Fulham, particularly given their affinity for Yank players, if Palhinha gets a big money move away. Very similar players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't need to pass it very far as we'll have decent passers close to him. Was surprised to see that Tiote had our highest pass total in a season reading the Trippier thread and Cheick wasnt exactly a fantastic passer. If Adams could do a similar job or better I'd be all for it. I'm not surprised to see Tiote had such great pass percentages at all, a lot of our fans were probably more impressed by Shelvey-esque hollywood ball types at the time. Not that I blame them in a time where we relied on a touch of magic for our odd goal here and there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do find these type of links tiresome tbh, same goes with the other lad Osinhem. When the world's most glamorous and richest clubs are fighting for them, we have to accept we are not there yet, at least not with FFP hurdles stacked in our path. The good news is we have tremendous leadership and coaching at the club, so we are in a position to buy potential or similar players and make them look BETTER as a collective than the individual superstars we are talking about. Again, just reference the same superstars when they are playing for England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rate Rice highly for sure, but Bellingham is heading for the very top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disagreeing with that at all. Just referring to those players (well alright I’m only talking about one) who say they wanted to be anonymous then later place themselves in one of the least anonymous roles imaginable.

KaKa Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 1 hour ago, Matt1892 said: The issue with Adam’s is that he doesn’t offer any real improvement on the shortcomings of Longstaff, which is surely what we should be looking for in a first team replacement in his position. Adams is a 6, and not an 8. I was very impressed with him prior to his injury. He is incredibly quick, athletic and aggressive in his pressing and tackling and the guy's energy levels never dropped. What was most surprising about him though, was how decent he was with the ball. He got on the ball loads and was very good at progressing it with shorter passes in between the lines, to the players ahead of him. Someone is going to get a steal there when they pick him up. Think because he's been injured for a while, he's kind of been forgotten about. He looked a heck of a player IMO. Would not be surprised if Liverpool casually grab him somewhere in the middle of the summer and it is hardly talked about, and then when the season starts a lot of fans will be fuming.
