Che Adams £11.2m

[Bearlie]

IF big IF We decided to sell mcburnie in order to get an upgrade, I'm guessing we wouldn't get 10 million.
I think Swansea had our pants down big time
I'm still hopeful he can be a successful player for us .

We paid the going rate for a young striker who bangs goals in.

He's had a slowish start but has still notched against 2 of the best goalkeepers in the division, one of those playing behing the meanest defence in any of the major leagues of Europe. Maybe we paid over the odds, maybe we have a bargain, maybe he's worth the money, but it's far, far too soon to say who has got the best deal.

This. As much as he seems a nice chap, I am so far struggling to comprehend what he gives to us other than a poorer option against the likes of:

Sharp: Aggressive pressing and opportunist six-yard menace
McGoldrick: Guile, experience and canny ability to turn the situation into a chance
Mousset: Pace, aggression and baffling ability to capitalise on a half chance

McBurnie is somewhere out there, but I don't see our style of play which isn't based on finding a target man giving him anything to get ahead.

The £20m was disputably misspent IMHO. I'd have rather had more pace.

I want all players who pull on our shirt to be a success (Apart from Marlon,hes a cunt )

He's got 10 years on Sharp and McGoldrick for starters. Lots of time to improve.

He shouldn't be written off just yet.

He's going nowhere until at least the summer, I personally don't think Wilder will want to take a £10m bath on him then either.

And arguably (VAR) should have had three.

 

[Good Pinch Of Snuff]

He will come good

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

Perhaps stats for strikers should have 3 columns: goals, assists, goals disallowed by VAR.

 

[BushBlade]

He will come good

Has he not emptied the tank for a while?

 

[Good Pinch Of Snuff]

Only when he was in Leeds.

100% - if he scored at soton, he'd be 1 behind Mousse...

 

[Punk Blade]

When I saw this was an older thread, I assumed the bump was to now laugh at the idea of wanting to sign Adams, not suggest it again.

No they didnt. He’s going to be a reight player for us.

 

[metalblade]

Top marks lads for turning a thread about jug ears into a bit of McBurnie bashing.

 

[blade too long]

He’s still a quality player and when we paid £20m for Mcburnie, £11m for him is a snip

Bumping this as he's one I'd still love for us to go in for. He'd provide great competition up front.

mmmm dont you just love people in the know regards strikers

[BigBed]

Don't get it??

 

[hidesbehindapseudonym]

Or let him go to Southampton for £14 million, we pocket £2.8 million and we can buy a couple of half million pound players.

Or 5.6

 

[Snowman]

Is he playing tonight?

 

[bromtom]

Is he playing tonight?

Bench.

With Shane Long, who got on the pitch.

When you're behind Shane Long, you know something's gone wrong.

 

[Bearlie]

No they didnt. He’s going to be a reight player for us.

I hope you are right mate .

 

[Charlieblade]

Wider has come out quite clearly about McBurnie and Robinson as stalwarts of the future. Both young players with time on their side. If we stay in the PL or end up in the championship next season, we will have a very good side, and a load of quality players with PL experience.
No way would Wilder even consider using one of them as a make weight to upgrade. He would have to start building the team from unknown individuals all over again.
Moose is only now coming good with lots of work still to do. I'm sure Osborne and Luke Freeman will get a chance before the year is out, maybe even Morrison? It will depend on injuries and suspensions, (Lundstram already on four yellows).

Of course we would all love a cup run, or flirting with European qualification end of season. IMHO we just need a bit of patience, and backing for Wilder's judgement, and we achieve this seasons goal, which is PL survival.

 

[Snowman]

Good bit of business

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Just been looking at Southampton and thinking if they drop who would you like us to take and Adams wouldn’t be one of them.

Ward Prowse? Ings? Gunn?

 

[Harry's Game]

Ings.

 

[Sabella's Socks]

Ward Prowse?

Well he's already shown he can handle it at the Lane...

 

[YorkBlade]

Ings and Ward-Prowse would be most welcome

 

[RMBlade]

I like Bertrand but he is no Enda

Hojbjerg is a good player too, although probably wouldn’t get into our midfield at the minute

 

[BushBlade]

Ings.

He’d love playing for us.

Leeds, Forest told £15m striker target Adams can move on two conditions

Leeds United and Nottingham Forest have entered a 'tug of war' over the January acquisition of Southampton striker Che Adams, it has been reported.

www.teamtalk.com

Sounds like Che may be allowed to leave in January. If we could part-fund this transfer by getting rid of Robinson then I think we'd be mad not to. Che Adams has had a difficult start to life in the Prem with Southampton, but I think he has all of the attributes to be a top player at this level. Pace, power, finishing ability. Can play on his own, or as a pairing. I really hope he's one we're looking at.
