However, what about that huge bastard who plays/played for wolves is it doesn't seem to have had problems? Correct me please, the VERY muscle bound lad. I think Adama may need to work on strengthening his joints, connective tissue etc Hopefully the "Sheikh" can sort him out. Elokobi? Now he is a beast (not sure if he is still at Wolves) .The difference between Adama and him is though that Adama is an attacking player and hence needs to twist and turn at pace in order to create chances more than Elokobi (A LB I think). Adama is built like a tank and is very quick which means he posseses higher than normal momentum (velocity x mass) when moving. Therefore, more force is required to change direction / stop which more than likely results in higher than normal strain on all parts of the body - causing more frequent injuries. There is a balance to be struck between mass and strength dependent on the sport. Ronaldo (the Portuguese) is probably the ideal physical specimen for a footballer and hence rarely gets injured. Adama is carrying a bit too much mass = injured more often. That's at least my interpretation of it. Physios / Physical Therapists / Personal Trainers feel free to correct me - I'm an Engineer. Nevertheless, like you have said hopefully the "Sheikh" can weave his magic spell and fix him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Barcelona medical team might have provided him with some "assistance" in that regard and I'd hazard a guess they'd be providing more of the same "assistance" overcoming his current injuries.

Zatman Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 while I get excited when he was playing it was an absolute shocking signing and we should have went for tried and tested Lennon or Townsend instead of a pet project his fitness is poor too, I dont know if that his own personal habits or jsut unlucky. I cant even remember his last game for us. was it Sunderland away 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a syou highlighted he has a terrible fitness record. I think even I am less injury prone than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
