According to BBC website.

Liverpool it is then
Unless the media have got it wrong
IF it is us then i am a little worried about him being a 1 season wonder - i remember thinking what a star we had bought when we picked up Curcic and we all know how that turned out
-
He'll be a Liverpool player by the weekend.
-
Personally, I don't want him and don't think we need him. With the players we've got coming back from injury and the team as a whole looking a lot happier now (general sense from the response of the players in the last two games), I'd be pretty happy for us to use the midfielders we have at our disposal until the end of the season and give Bannan, Albrighton et al the opportunity to develop.
If we could convince Warnock to start playing football too, that's be super.

Curcic was insane. He had a nose job and gave up football for sex. Adam is probably quite sane, although he looks like a 40-year-old cellarman in a Victorian gin palace.

Totally agree with this (Not the Warnock part as he is a liability)
Unless it is a case of we do not know what deals are already in for some of our players now or at the end of the season i cannot see the point of Adam other than maybe GED wanting to install his own players in key areas.
All i know about Adam is a few great cross field passes (Downing / Delph can both do this with ease) and a few goals from CM - again we have a few players that can do this already

Not to worry I've got Adam pegged as another Bloody L. Draper don't need him stifling the progress of Barry Bannan or Ciaran Clark or the like.

Ha ha, very good indeed.

We don't need him. He's having a good time of it at the moment that's true but as I've said before when I look at him I see Sidwell staring back at me.

Going slightly O/T but I'm not a fan of his either and felt he was overlooked for criticism last season when people preferred to use Cuellar's alright performances at RB to distract from his increasingly poor performances (and to bemoan MON) , but Clark isn't a left-back (as Bentley and Citeh's various wide players demonstrated on Saturday) and would like to see him protected. So if Houllier could work his magic on him as he seems to have with Dunne, I'd be happy. And if he can't, that's the one position I think we need to buy in January. We can do a trade for Friedel and Given in the summer.
Going even further O/T, assume this was asked in the post-match thread, but did MON ever play 4 centre-backs at once? 8)
-
Yeah he's shit an' all that.
-
I can't wait to see the Holloway rant on this one.
"oi trusted this laad.....ee az just froen it back in moi face.....it's a disgrace it is these days....these fuballers are spoilt over paid.....alroight moi lover... blah blah blah.."
-
Is it a code of honour amongst Villa left backs this season to get booked as early as possible to make any subsequent challenge a bit more interesting.
Eamon Deacy will be proud.

"oi trusted this laad.....ee az just froen it back in moi face.....it's a disgrace it is these days....these fuballers are spoilt over paid.....alroight moi lover... blah blah blah.."
I was rather hoping he'd take a vow of silence over this, and everything else really. His droning is really getting on my nerves.
-

Don't think that was aimed at anyone in particular, but still, that's not what I'm I'm saying. I don't watch enough PL football to really have an opinion on him, but I just think that we've got enough quality in our squad to suggest we don't need to be spending another £4m+ in an area we're currently quite strong and on a player who's only sprung to notice this season.
If MON were in charge and after him, people would be moaning that he only ever shops in the UK. I like the fact Gerard has bought a player from abroad but also spent money on definite PL experience in Bent. Adam may indeed continue to improve, but so might Bannan, Albrighton, Hogg etc and I think we've got enough experience in the squad to continue to allow those players to develop alongside them.
-
Dont think we need him, we should aim higher than this half a season season wonder
-
my thoughts exactly wikivilla..
one thing about being at a club like blackpool, the team is built around you, and your positive points are highlighted... while negative ones are ignored...
if he came to the villa, or liverpool, it would be the other way round, as the positive things are expected as a minimum... and the many passes he misplaces, will be highlighted as he gives the ball away and doesnt try to win it back...
-
Barry Bannan for me. I haven't seen too much of Charlie Adam to be honest, but I watched Scotland with Barry and Adam playing in the centre a couple of months back. Barry Bannan was the main man that night.

Absolute hypocrites.

Adam not Adams in the title.
Blackpool are playing a dangerous game, if they start being stubborn over this.
Just set a realistic price, make it public and say if we don't get £xxx he is staying, like MoN did with Barry.
-

Absolute hypocrites.
They're just trying to push the price up further first. If he's on £10k per week and only has 18 months to go in his contract, it would only cost them around £750k to pay up his contract if they tried to force him to move. He's now saving them that anyway, but they're just trying to get the best deal for their club with 1 week to go before the window shuts which I can understand.
Unlike Sunderland who were so disgusted and disappointed by our attempt to sign Bent that they accepted the first and only bid we made...

It'll be interesting to see where Holloway goes now with his determination not to blame King Kenny for any of this.

he probably e-mailed, text, rang or sent flowers to Holloway first ::)

I expect him to blame it on Gezza wearing a Kenny mask, the damn devious little surrender monkey!

Be fair, Holloway is just managing his career for him.
-
If they turn his request down but then accept a bid of £6M from Liverpool or us, does that mean they'd have to give him his "loyalty" bonus.
They didn't want to pay him that £20K relegation bonus, I can see this getting very messy, that's what you get for managing a half-arsed club Ian.
-
It'd be ironic if Liverpool now dropped out of the bidding.

Even funnier if we did, too.

It would be quite amusing to see us both drop out of the bidding leaving Wurzel with a player pissed off with him for denying him the chance to play at a bigger club. Or alternatively he could make a sideways move to the Blues of course.
-
Strange that Sky are saying Liverpool have made a £4m bid and Villa only £3.5m when the statement that was on the BBC website earlier implied that Liverpool's £4m offer only matched our previous highest offer.
Story's been updated now and so can't quote directly annoyingly.
-
On my mobile. Can someone change it to Adam in the title please. We are after a midfield player, not a camel
-

What the same Barry Bannan little old Villa loaned the mighty Blackpool Towers last season to help get them in the Prem, and earn all the sky millions?
Please GH/Randy don't give Holloway or his twat of a chairman anything - pull out of any move for Adam now. We have Bannan, Delph (when fit), Hogg, Herd and Gardner biting at the bit to stake their claim.

agree totally
Make that freak look like the right twat he is - this is the premier league baldy stop trying to play against the big boys - you will end up with a bloody nose
-
Disappointed with the way that GH handled the press conference. We/ he needs to be fully focussed on tomorrows game
-
I'm happy for him to give a bit back. It wont alter his preparations for tomorrows game putting a couple of cheeky Vaginas in their place.

Think there was a bit more to that one than meets the eye.
I'm pretty certain £18-24 million transfers don't go through seamlessly, in just under 48 hours start to finish. Initial reports had it that Ireland was going the other way, so I'm sure Saint Niall was trying to get the best deal he could for the Mackems.
Maybe the Elephant Man was kept in the dark for the whole thing, that might be the only true part to the whole story. To be honest, that's probably the best place for him anyway.

That is exactly my take on it, KG.
The suggestion that between 8pm Sunday night and Tuesday evening, Villa and Sunderland negotiated and carried out a transfer deal involving that amount of money, with all the complicating factors (times of payments, payments to agents, payments to other clubs - ie Spurs) is ridiculous.
We were clearly negotiating with them to sell Bent well before the weekend. It's a bit daft of them to moan that we were the ones to tell the player, which suggests they were flogging him without actually telling him.
Either they're covering their arses between the pair of them, or Quinn didn't tell Bruce.
-

Very wise.
If Bruce fell in the river, it would flow ugly for a week.
-
And if Holloway fell into a bucket of tits... he would blend in perfectly.
