The manager wasn't playing him?
I've dealt with this upthread. Wilder managed Adams for the grand total of one league game. He did not start that game - which I am sure was on the instructions of those negotiating his sale, or even at Birmingham's request - and he came on anyway. He did play him.
I think that it is a certainty that after our start to the season Adams would not be in the first XI now.
Wilder didn't start him because he knew he was leaving. It's obvious.
We played five league games when Che was here. How many did he start? So no, he wasn't playing him. Maybe he was benched because of a possible sale, maybe Adams couldn't be arsed, maybe Wilder had seen how poor he was end of last season.
My point still stands though. If he was worth £3m someone would have paid it.
