Well maybe. I thought he was pretty much nailed on for Liverpool though?

Would be a good signing. As for the ITK, we've heard enough of that shit over the past 2 weeks to last a lifetime. Can we, from now on, make a note of all this shit and ban everyone who's ITK turns out to be a load of bollocks, (as most of it is)?

Adam would be great down the villa, he would be the replacement for barry that we have been waiting for, excellent player great passing and set piece ability! Let's hope its true.

He's currently 20/1 to sign for Villa with SkyBet, so if you trust this latest ITK, fill yer boots.

I've gone off ITK's, for some reason.

From what I've see he's not overrated at all.  Strong and skillful midfielder with a cracking shot on him.  Was outstanding against Manu last season.

Having just signed Henderson for 20 mill, Gerrard, Lucas, Meirerles, Shelvey etc, I'm not sure they need him at 'The Mighty Reds YNWA'.

I'm not sure he'd displace Legend Lucas!

In defence of WeeAldo I can easily see it happen. Under McLeish Adam first broke through at Rangers and he is by accounts a big fan of Adam.

I'm not 100% sure of Adam. He is definitely overrated especially by the media up here. I prefer the Scottish playmaker we already have.

Great shout!

To be fair he was in a team that was relegated so in no way shape or form is he good enough for the mighty Villa.....
oops.....

I watched Adam closely after Jan, and he is a frustrating player, but I reckon would get at least 15 assists for Villa, and probably 7-8 goals. Great set pieces, and Bent would thrive on his through balls. It could happen, and would be a good signing IMO.

I like him but you have to ask what mcliesh would want with him.. i'm not sure he's much good at hoofing the ball forward at every opportunity.

He was effective for him at Rangers, and Gardner got 10 from midfield for Blues. The hoofing came about through having Zigic up there. I don't think it will happen here.
