Posted January 12, 201114 yr Another terrific performance from the Scotsman. I must say, I have been hugely impressed by his outings this season. Great on the ball, very good vision, passing, and the engine just keeps running all game long. Top notch technique. He's 25 and out of contract in the summer. As far as shopping for good value for money goes, I'd take him over someone like Pienaar any day.
January 12, 201114 yr I would also Abramovich. He's been stellar for most of the season. And I've been watching, he's on my fantasy team.
January 12, 201114 yr Yes, he's been a revelation. Superb again tonight against the Dippers - looked like Josh Mac the way he glided past people. As for Sky Sports' coverage - what the hell happened there? Has any highlights programme ever cut to an advert break in the middle of the second half before? And then proceeded to show a trailer for a semi-final 'tomorrow night' that had just been shown?
January 13, 201114 yr However, isn't he a more central player,so would he even get much playing time here? I'd think he'd be more apt to stay where he's a regular
January 13, 201114 yr Author However, isn't he a more central player,so would he even get much playing time here? I'd think he'd be more apt to stay where he's a regular I think he'd be tempted to get more money and a shot at playing for a much better team. Chances like that don't come around very often. Him being an ex-Ranger makes it even more logical, once a Blue.... Edited January 13, 201114 yr by abramovich
January 13, 201114 yr I thought his contract expired next summer. Lots of clubs linked with him in January but not us. Adam, 25, has been the subject of interest of Aston Villa, Birmingham City and Liverpool during the January window but Holloway believes he will stay until at least the end of the campaign. "He's got a year left on his contract, the swing will go to him and maybe to his agent. But I think he can help us stay in this division. Link
January 13, 201114 yr I thought Adam had done some time for Blackpool on the wings? Olly was saying he was offered 3.5 million for him and thought it was a joke. Might be this year's Jimmy Bullard. I wouldnt say no if there were no other targets the club were going for out there. I.e. I wouldnt do it as a six month stop-gap until some younger players come in to reinforce the squad. But everyday it looks likelier that there will be no buys.
January 13, 201114 yr He reminds me of Sidwell not as a player but if we went for him, as a type of signing
January 13, 201114 yr He reminds me of Sidwell not as a player but if we went for him, as a type of signing Exactly my thinking, actually.
January 13, 201114 yr Sidwell was coming into a team stocked with talent though. He had no hope of breaking in and being a regular. Im long past the point where we can talk about Chelsea quality and who is or isnt. When someone is a star for a midtable club, they could at least be a decent option off the bench. If age catches up with us in the second half, and we lose someone like Essien, DD or JT again, I dont even wanna think about how things will go.
January 13, 201114 yr And we made a tidy profit on Sidwell too I believe. Perhaps, one of our better deals in terms of money.
January 13, 201114 yr I would prefer to see him do it for more than a season before we jump in on him, we`ve been stung with that one before. Though he does look pretty impressive to be fair.
