Why can't we sell Charlie Adam?

He played well today however Allen is boss .He is close to being world-class and given his age,potential and talent he sooner than later will be.

Cognitive dissonance. Thought Adam was terrible, but you're spot on about Allen. I've wanted him for quite some time. He has done terrifically well.
 
I've been cooing over the boy for a while. Nothing compared to Sahin, but he's a player.

I dont doubt that mate but wary of putting the player on a pedestal just yet. Let's pretend he's shite and then Spurs won't notice him
 
I think well is a bit to much. Some horrendous passing and loss of posession throughout the match. His set pieces are also not good enough. Still better than Shelvey.
 
He was shite tonight. That doesn't mean he's shite. But tonight, he was.

Yeah he was dire.

Tbh I didn't understand our midfield positions. Shelvey seemed very advanced initially, but second half dropped deeper. Adam played well after the initial 40.i wonder if the booing got to him initially?
Henderson was somewhere I gather
 
Adam was about a billion times better than Shelvey today. He played well.

No one was even talking about Shelvey here though.

And that's not really much of a compliment anyway is it?

Fwiw I thought Adam was ok tonight. Looked our best player in the first half, but he's clearly not good enough long term and we've learned that long before tonight anyway.

But that's my point. People who don't like Adam lambast everything he does when others deserve considerably more attention. It gets on my tits, as perhaps you may have noticed.
 
You could a shelvey thread doc. Tbf he probably deserves one after that performance
 
The thing is, I don't want to eviscerate LFC players. I just don't get a kick out of it.
 
First off - did Henderson really play to day ? didn't notice him so must be still hiding somewhere.

I know we hate Adam, and as I have stated he wants to do an extra season with us to prove that he really is shit and that last season was not a fluke at being shit. But the more and more I look at it - do you guys not think its better for us if we possibly can to try and flog Henderson for £5-5.5M to someone and keep Adam ?

Let me know your thoughts. Also just to please you guys tonight - I thought Downing was really shit when he came one.
 
Adam is miles better than Henderson as he knows about ball games and the physics of dynamics. That doesn't mean Adam is good, it's not a fair comparison. Henderson is a thick shithead who can't play football.

I know he is no good but if Henderson is that shit which I believe he is, then is it not worth just trying to get rid of him to get some money. Somone out there may think he is worth £6-£7M.
 
Who? Seriously he's fucking awful. If we could have had 3m back for him this window they'd have taken it.

How about the club that we bought him from ? - they may take him back for £5M, it would be good business for them and he would be happy going back home.
 
Search the posts. I said on the day we bought him he'd be back at Sunderland in 2014 for 4m. I think I was actually being overly optimistic

You are correct most likely - I cannot come to terms how shit the kid really is. He offers us nothing, and I don't think he ever will. I did not know who he was when we signed him but how did you know he was going to turn out so bad when the people that decided to pay £15M for him thought otherwise ? - I would be interested in your thoughts as I cannot get over how invisible this guy is - not since Smicer has there been such an invisible player for us. Henderson is invisible perfection though.
 
Sunderland fans I knew and know. They said he was shit. And then when we got him and people started saying on the wing was out of position - well all the sunderland lads said that was his best position. And let's be real... you can still trap a ball out of position can't you? He can't. He's just fucking bollocks,

if they (sunderland fans) told you he was shit then it must have been known in the wider cirlces of their management and club, so what the fuck attracted us to this kid then ?
 
How do I know? Ferguson was meant to be after him. Capello picked him. Dalglish bought him.

I think it was some weird zeitgeist shit that ended up showering us with filthy slurry.

I know - I almost had a heart attack when Roy picked him for the England squad. Certain players seem to obsess managers (good and bad managers) that leave us supporters feeling like we must be missing something. Even BR was singing his praises at the start. I am starting to think because he is a young lad - and quite fearfull, he must be one of those players bought to suck the managers cock when they are under stress. Sort of like a managers bitch. That can be the only reason as sick as it sounds.

You remind me of this poster we used to have... Crump. He used to speak about Lucas in a strikingly similar way.

Then again, perhaps you are right about Hendo. I mean, even moron agrees with you.
