The Daily Mail article claims that Blackpool want £8m for Adam.

Go and get fucked Gollum.
I don't know, he looks an one season wonder to me.  He is this season's Sidwell.  Not worth £3m, let alone £8m.

He looked a class above last season in the championship and has continued to look quality in premier league, so I think he would be a good buy!

Liam Lawrence looked a class above in the championship the other season. Graham Dorrens looked a class above last season, but Adam has shown that he can make the step up so far. I'd take the gamble on him at £5mil maximum.

As did Sidwell.  This is a very good comparison.  He may be worth a gamble but not at anything more then £4m - £5m.

I'd rather we pushed for actually selling one or two of the outsiders rather than loaning them out. Warnock's form may have dipped but if no-one's willing to buy him (and he's under 30, still in the England frame so we should be asking for £5m) he's worth more to us on the bench in case Clark's out for any reason. Only loan him if a new LB comes in.

Carew? Time to sell, but it's a tough one because I wouldn't to see him at a club anywhere near us in the table; not WBA, West Ham, or Fulham. Who else would want him? Sunderland? Best all round would be a cut price move to QPR...

I wouldn't go over £4m for Adam. Doubt anyone else will. So we can revisit that in the summer, when he has just a year left on his contract, and turn the screw on Blackpool...

Still think it leaves us short of creative quality in the centre of midfield.

When is Delph back ? Surely he'll be ready for an extended run when back

Adams agent will probably start intervening soon as this could be his only chance to get a high profile move and make him some dollar ..........

£4m tops then, we dont want another Sidwell, Shorey, Davies debacle
He's relatively unproven at this level, been playing on adrenalin so far

You might be right, and the player himself may start getting twitchy too.

Without Adam, I still think we'd okay for creativity in midfield - until the summer, anyway. With the system we have tended to play, not sure how much creativity we need from our CMs; basically we have two with Albrighton, Young, Downing in front, all creative, flair players, and one CF - now Bent. We need those two CMs to be strong, to win the ball, to start moves off. The bits I've seen of Makoun, that's his game, perhaps offers a bit more going forward too. We know Petrov can do a decent job, Reo-Coker certainly the hard work. I think Delph can do it all.

I'd like Adam but now we have Makoun in, don't think it's a disaster if we don't sign him now.

I have never been a skilled negotiator, but at some point somebody has to tell Karl Oyston to take it or leave it.

For 8 million theyre must be better players out there. I'd be suprised if Makoun is the only player to come in from France.

Also i think its asking too much to expect alot from Delph this season after his injuries. If he can get a few games under his belt,and then kick on for next season.

David wheater has joined Bolton for £1.5m- decent signing at that price.

Liverpool should pay cash for warnock rather than loan him- they know the player they are getting, why should we loan a player to a half arsed club who used to be famous! ;D

I wouldn't sell Warnock to them for any less than £4m
We need to be a bit more hard nose, no loans
