Transfer Rumour Che Adams

Think that would be quite effective at a low budget. ———

 

[IRO1977]

What an abysmal state we've ended up in, the fact that we're even entertaining settling for such blatant mediocrity exactly the same as we did with Maupay last year

 

[Wat Tyler]

Relegation FC. How many relegated players have we bought now? McNeil, Tarks, Harrison, potentially Adams and Gnonto. Throw in league 2 standard Maupay and a few other scraps. Winning mentality right there.

It shows just how limited Thelwell’s knowledge is

We could have signed Moffi and El Bilal Toure last summer. Both loans with obligations this summer.

Why are these not the types were after this summer before they go for big money?

We clearly still want to have Dom as the main striker. That seems evident.

Both of those would've cost £25-30mill. Additionally you can't guarantee they're going to settle in the premiership and deliver this expectation of 10-15 goals a season.

Then factor in how these deals are structured. If a club agrees to let us buy Chermitti for £20mill structured...but another club selling Moffi don't want to do the same..we can't do much.

 

[kenada_blue]

Disagree. Gnonto, like Chermiti now and Onana last year, is being brought in as a player with a high ceiling that will be flogged to the highest bidder in 2 seasons. It’s a model we should have been following long before now.

Adams is a stopgap player for the here and now until the above bears fruit.

100%

Why is it different now? Teams can be successful without a striker that scores 20 goals. We’re not going for league titles or 4th - we’re just trying to comfortably survive.

Faster and more physical, better quality of player and coach.

And yes teams can be “successful” without a striker, but teams that scored 34 goals the previous year probably won’t be

 

[Wat Tyler]

For anyone saying “he’s better than Maupay,” last season the same people were saying “Maupay is better than Rondon.”

If we keep signing strikers who don’t score, we will keep continuing to struggle for goals, simple as that.

But we’ll score more this year with a striker that can actually bring others into the game.

*checks date.

They were both later than they should have been, but earlier than I expected they'd go for Che Adams.

It doesn't instil much confidence - should have been in months ago if he was anywhere near a priority.

 

[coollino]

Scotlands number 9. Not often you get a starting number 9 for country who will be ripping it up in the euros next summer coming in your club. Embrace the chenge.

came on here to post the same

He played at Southampton last year, Southampton scored 36 goals

 

[Nymzee]

Everton 5-1 Brighton

Dominic Calvert-Lewin instrumental.

Goals: 0
Assists: 1

You don’t have to be the decider to have a huge impact on how a team can play.

I never knew the rest of Southampton’s players all now play for Everton.

 

[Walken]

…..it’s clearly working very well in our search for a striker.

The irony is, about 20 posters on GOT (brickies, postmen, white collar workers et Al) forecast we’d end up with Che Adam’s when the window opened. Thelwell on big bucks appoints Sargeson on big bucks and we put in a bid for Che Adams two games into the season

You really are so tedious on this subject, the amount that is changing at the club under a incredibly restrictive budget and the window isn't closed yet. What is clear is that you don't really understand the role of DoF at a gigantic club or what is currently happening better than anyone else.

 

[coollino]

Che Adama - yes.

Che Adams - no.
