We need someone like Adam because Ireland isn't doing the job he should be doing

Yes we have Reo Coker, Petrov, Delph and Makoun but they're all similar types of players - defensive minded.

Someone like Adam will give us creativity from the middle, something we've been gagging for.



I'm suprised Blues haven't tried harder to keep Larrsen, he's only on 8grand a week as its the same contract as what he was on when he first joined, think he wants to be in the same pay scale as the other first teamers but they're not giving it him.

How does the poor bastard survive on such a measly sum?

Delph is not simply defensive and neither is Makoun. They can both spray passes around and get forward. As can Bannan.
Adam is very welcome but, at full strength, we have players who can be creative in the middle.

I didn't mean that, i meant they're all similar types of players in terms of all more defensive minded rather than attack minded

As in with the two just mentioned they're main strength is tough tackling and passing rather than creating goal scoring opportunities

which is why Adam is someone who could become vital cog in the team, or Ireland if he ever got his act together

I wish Irleand would stop being such a lazy useless feck and get back to the form he had at City

Unfortunaltey Adam is being priced out the Market by his ignorant manager.

I'd rather wait and see if west ham go down and see if we can pick up Parker on the cheap (or in fact go in with a cheeky late bid this window).

Adam is good but for the money blackpool are supposed to be after there is better around. Especially in Europe. The real frustrating thing is we have one of the best creative midfields in the game in Ireland but he's just a waste of space.

Indeed add a motivated and happy Ireland to our squad and we would have a bit of everything. I wonder what he makes if these recent transfers? Let's hope he's looking in and is inspired by the moves we've made.

Liverpool have just had a 4 million bid turned down by Blackpool for Adam.

Ah fuck it.

That's where he's going, I can guarantee it.

That's the end of that then.

He'll go somewhere. there's no way that Adam would accept bids from us and Liverpool being rejected on the basis that blackpool want to hold out for something unrealistic. He wants to go, whether now or in the summer and its up to Blackpool whether they want to cash in now, or have a player whose head may be turned.

If we put in a bit of £5m I can only see Liverpool coming back, if at all, with a bid of £5m and one new pence. I get the feeling they're skint.

He wants to go alright, but he'll end up being signed by that granite faced, miserablist at Liverpool.

A shame, I rate Adam and think he'd make a real diffrence to us.

Reminds me of our coach in his prime.

That's blasphemy Fletch. The question for me is, having signed Bent, can we afford not to sign Adam? Bent's not a big fan of balls in from the wing, preferring to run onto them down the middle. Adam looks the ideal player to deliver that type of ball. Bent, like any striker, needs good service.
