CONFIRMED Che Adams

[Living In a Fantasy World]

good stuff, one for the future? or will he be likely to fight for a place in the first team?

 

[Bergen Blade]

Hang on, where does he actually play? Seen three different articles, in one he's a winger, the other he's a midfielder and the BBC seem to think he's a striker. I know nothing about the lad, although he seems to have a lot of buzz around him, can anyone enlighten me?

From the video, my guess is he could be a contender for Connor Coady's box to box role. Could add tempo, strength, forward movement and goalscoring from midfield, all attributes we lack.

 

[him behind you]

He looks Ok.

He looks useful. Young and quick, and hopefully hungry for success so will have the work ethic maybe one or two from our own academy don't have and which Clough demands.

Looking at the his positions on the video he looks a lot like an attacking midfielder / winger who likes to have a pop at goal - just the kind of striker our Nige likes .

Seriously though, hope he's a massive success although we need to give him time to adjust and it's up to us not to expect too much too soon. A trait us Blades are well known for.

 

[Darthblade]

Looks good.

Ah yes but looks can be deceptive. he may be able to score goals but we all know that's not what's important in the modern game of football. Has he got good hands, can he command his area when he's in goal ? What is he like in the holding midfield role as part of our 4 - 6 - 0 strategy ?

"pacey forward"...apparently

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Few U21 games and then get him in the team.

A fearless looking youngster with pace - whats worse that can happen?

When will he be eligible to play? Is it a loan first, or will he have to wait till January?

 

[mattbianco1]

His face hasn't grown into his ears yet -

sufc_tweets says he's a striker. We'll find out soon if Clough considers that to be his main position.

We'll discover his step-mum is Jean Hatchet?

uh oh... Undisclosed..... GET READY FOR THE SHIT STORM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111111

 

[yuley82]

Che Adams, Ched Evans... Could be a confusing forward line

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Im guessing Ilkeston are semi pro so maybe this has enabled us to sign him on the 2 year deal.

 

[Blade56]

When I heard his name I thought we were trying to smuggle Ched back in a wig, then I saw his picture and thought nah, he can't pull that one off

Welcome young man, better times ahead at last

 

[FTPE]

sufc_tweets says he's a striker. We'll find out soon if Clough considers that to be his main position.

.... And then play him on the wing regardless?

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

He'll be straight into the under 21's for the next 18 months.

Interesting that United are looking into Non League but I hate to think anyone is hoping an 18 year old from Alfreton is the lad to fire us into the championship.

A certain Mr Birtles didn't do too bad at Forest.

 

[Kenilworth]

Fuck me what a PR disaster!

Jean Hatchett and the Twitterati are going to have a fucking field day when she and they bang on about us giving Che Adams a 2 year contract.


..... Well facts and accuracy have not played much part in the global debate so far, have they?

 

[metalblade]

Nice one Nigel, told y'all he had potential

 

[wizadry]

Don't know what to think about this one tbh.We have a couple of youngsters who have had better training for a long time who can't even get a look in,and even when they do they don't always get played in the right positions.I'm all for playing a player at any age if good enough but somethings telling me this won't be the case.

In the few clips iv'e seen he looks like he has a bit of strength and pace but some of that defending did leave a bit to be desired if i'm honest.

No dis respect to the lad but if he is one of the four strikers we were looking at i'm a tad worried as to we actually have as scouts.Do they only have a local bus pass or something?

Good luck to the lad though IF given the chance.

 

[curtisblades]

Wasn't Scougall originally seen as one for the future too?

 

[Going up]

Wiz, I wouldn't worry about the scouts, they have found decent players. I think it says more about the budget restraints the scouts are working under.

 

[blade too long]

isnt tommorrow the future ?

 

[bladeinspaceandtime]

Hopefully the club have checked out his criminal record (if any - i'm sure he's a fine upstanding fellow) - wouldn't want any skeletons in the cupboard coming out would we.

 

[Kentblade]

He looks Ok.

Looks good on video, one for the future or now.
A big step up from their division but why not.

[jt64]

i believe i actually saw him in the fa cup qualifiers earlier this year when they played away to stockport - if it's the same guy i'm thinking of he looked a class apart from the rest of the team and clearly capable of a higher level. whether that level is league one is a different question entirely

 

[fuerstenberger]

I like the lad, seen him a few times. Given the right coaching could be a real gem.

 

[JasonEllis]

I always worry when I see a video montage of 'best bits' from players we have signed. Pretty sure Lyle Taylor looks a worldbeater on one video.....

Good luck to him though

 

[essexblade87]

Good to see players from non league given a chance, not enough are given a chance. Hopefully he can be an asset to the club especially after the damage done these last few weeks.

How was Vegas fella?

Bloody brilliant thanks, my Liver and bank account are still recovering, was a great wedding too. Blades had the best run of season as well might have to go away more often.
