Che Adams now linked?

[Silent Blade]

He's better than what we have but wouldn't be my choice either, having said that I'm not sure we can expect any better with the way this window has gone.

No he isnt. He had a terrible attitude in 2016 from what I had been told from someone who was very ITK

Bobby Robson wrote in his autobiography that he had never forgotten a very good piece of advice from Arsenal's manager, Bertie Mee which was "if a player, no matter how good he is, becomes disruptive in the dressing room, then get rid of him as soon as you can". No wonder why Southampton want to get rid of him.

Everton put in £12m bid

Be very surprised if that gets him. Whilst he's hardly prolific, he has scored goals at PL level.

Let them have JET. Please. Guaranteed they’re finally down.

 

[Bobby b]

I remember the thought of Gary Madine playing for us as being impossible what with being ex Wednesday and the spat with sharp but that happened and we all lived

£12m for Adams makes Akpom seem like a decent deal... but also puts Archer into perspective

How so? Akpom also cost £12m but Adams is a year younger and is arguably a much better player.

 

[s4-blade]

Maybe but would he score goals for us ? That is more relevant.

Is it? If osama bin laden could score goals would you sign him?

Like you said, similar age and price but Akpom has form more recently, similar goal records in their careers to date. Would say Che is more a #9 and Akpom a #10 style forward though. The “arguably a much better player” is just an opinion, as I’d prefer Akpom.

 

[ancientblade]

i rate adams but realise hes hated by most blades fans but for value for money adams at 12m archer 20m its a no brainer a striker proven in the premier league against a striker whos only scored at championship level actually f**k it lets bring em both in

They haven’t got similar goal records at all, it’s not even close. Adams has 25 goals at the level we’re currently playing at, Akpom has none.

There are plenty of non football reasons why the club should not sign someone. However simply being called names by a fan, even if vaguely accurate, is not one of them.

 

[Creepy]

Interesting. I thought Adams was more comparable to Pol Pot than Osama Bin Laden but you might have changed my mind

 

[designedbyross]

I just meant statistically, 76 in 310 for Akpom, 104 in 416 for Adams... which also includes Adams' goals in the Northern Premier League if we're being pedantic.

 

[Kev Gee]

Would rather shit in my hand (after a madras) and clap than sign that jug eared bellend.

 

[Westran]

Can't understand why some people have it in for Che Adams, we sold him for a decent profit when he was clearly capable of playing at a higher level. The tables have turned now and I'd welcome him back.

 

[Antonb]

I would gladly go and pick him up myself and bring him back , the state were in

 

[Balti Pie]

Everton put in £12m bid

We'll put a £6m bid in and then fuck about for two weeks whilst the pool of available strikers shrinks ever smaller

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Thats a slim chance, but...

If he comes to us he plays

If he comes to us could become (jug eared wing nut) cunt hero

So there are reasons he could choose little old Blades.

Fixed it for you

I think all of them, given market conditions, are fairly priced given the conditions of their contracts, the club's they're at and the age of the player...
I'd have said Adams £12m, Akpom £10m and Archer £18m is about right.

 

[XADE]

Fixed it for you

What exactly did he say about United? Seems like some gimps on Twitter were ribbing him and he bit back? Is that it?

 

[Houston_Blade]

I’d love him to come back just to see Katzenjammer lose his shit

 

[ancientblade]

whatever some of our fans think about him he walks in to our starting 11

And we should have been looking at signing two of them

If I'd have told you last season you could have akpom and archer for 30 million you'd have laughed at me

Think.adams might go for nearer 15 though

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

Do we just hate him in a knickers-in-a-twist sort of way or has he actually done something? Remind me so I can (pretend to)
get angry.

 

[Grizzly blade]

This ain’t happening….NEXT??

If you'd told me we'd sell Ndiaye and not be able to afford one of them I'd have been absolutely amazed.
I would have thought Ndiaye would almost fund both.

Ndiaye was a poorly managed sale.

I can't help but feel ndiaye would have stayed if we'd brought a couple of good players in to play around him

Crazy to let him go before we had someone lined up

 

[NerdyBlade]

Sky saying his deal is up at Southampton and will be leaving in the summer - reckon we'd be in for him?
