Adams is one of the worst *strikers* out there.

I've seldom seen such lack of intelligent movement.

It comes to something when you say with a straight face you'd rather have Rondon.


It seems like the cat is out the bag now: they're going for more cheap tat as a back up to Calvert-Lewin, who they're hoping to see play the vast majority of games when he gets back after injury.

WTF are they thinking of?

….I wonder if they have a plans for an alternative option to DCL but are playing a waiting game to get him in (possibly on loan).

Links to the likes of Gyokeres and Adams suggests to me they want somebody in quickly in the short-term who can then be back-up to the 2 main options. I suppose with Gyokeres, he could surprise and be more effective than thought.

At least he can move- that makes him better than big Rondon alone
 
I'm not sure that's a great plan personally. There is a chronic lack of goals and creativity in this side, it needs addressing or we'll be in trouble again. The defence has - theoretically at least - improved, and if we bring in Gana then the midfield definitely has (although i'm not sure it's necessarily going to control games), but we're taking a big chance on players producing attacking numbers some way beyond what they ever have before if we're going to score enough goals to be comfortable.
Whether its a good plan or not I think its clear Lampard is going with a consistent theme, and hes building a squad rather than throwing players together. That cohesive structure is something we have lacked for a decade or more.
I personally like the plan, because I think you have to build from the back, and you have to have a good foundation before you build the rest of the house. Everything else looks good for a month or so, but then crumbles.

If they are exploring Adams on loan (and who knows if that's true) maybe they actually think they are in with a shot on Broja on a permanent but it'll take a while- maybe with a buyback etc we can get it to a number we can afford.

In which case Adams makes a bit of sense because he isn't big guy, so he will offer something different to Broja / DCL as well as some backup. And of the names mentioned would probably provide the best foil alongside either of them in an occasional front two: chasing the game 15 to go, stick on Adams alongside the big target man, go 442 and get it in the mixer.
 
He was the first person I saw.
It was that guy who said we were signing McNeil out of nowhere, he is just some randomer on twitter, a blue, has a Ukrainian flag for a profile pic, I will try find the account name. Myers did jump on it early though and fair play to Alan tbh, instead of waiting till 3 days after everyone else he posted long before any of the usual suspects.

If they have plans for a DCL they've hiddeen them well to this point.

It's criminal Richarlison hasn;t been replaced. Getting linked with trash like Adams is alarming.
