ermie123 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Imagine how many free kicks he would get and we might even get a penalty! Laying it off to a team-mate? Like who there is only Ayew! The rest have not got a clue what do in the box! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now is not the time for tippy tappy stick him in and tell him to try and score at every opportunity!!! So that's the problem. We haven't being trying to tell them to score at every opportunity. IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW. Edited November 30, 2015 by rodders0223 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fwiw I don't think we'd be anywhere near the position were in with adebayor, townsend and lennon. Not that I'd really want those players. Just that we'd have a bit more balance and they are a damn sight better than the dross we've currently got. Adebayor would at least give us a focal point. We'd be much better off with Adebayor, but what can you do? God intervened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind seeing what he could to further up in a partnership with say Ayew. I think he would cause a lot of havoc to defenders and his selfishness isn't as much an issue in a striking position. We're obviously lacking that finishing edge, are in a crap position so why not really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villakram Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 He's a younger version of Bolaise... and as of right now, his "ability" and end product reflects that. Should have a much higher ceiling, Villa will probably ruin him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 how will Villa ruin him? If anything a good player would thrive in our situation and look better than rest of the team thats not Villa fault if they dont take advantage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lay it off to Gil or veretout or anyone, then make a run and let them play you in. With somebody with Adama's pace that would be a fairly easy ball to play. At the moment he's only passing it as a last resort at which point he's not in a position to make a run, so we're relying on him beating a few players at the same time. Which he might do every now and then but it will be rare, especially once teams have figured him out. So the former would be much more consistent. I'm actually not against sticking him up front. It might work, and it would be lest costly than having him on the wing if he's not performing. Edited November 30, 2015 by Stevo985 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Don't get me wrong, he makes Gabby look like a snail, but lets not go there we have had ten years debate on that one. Right now, he should be in the Circus. Seriously, He has so much to learn, I'm not sure what you do with him, or if he will manage to learn it. another 7 mill gamble.....the mind boggles.

AVTuco Posted December 2, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 2, 2015 I'm hoping no-one seriously expects Adama to learn to pass. He has absolutely no intention to pass the ball when he gets it. None. He'll never change. So, I agree with those saying he should be played up front, so that he doesn't face too many defenders when he tries to go forward by himself.

The kid is 20 and has played a handful of games.Think he has time to learn. I would persevere with him wide for the moment though as Ayew looks to be finding his feet up front at the moment. We haven't really got a wide player that offers his unpredictability. Yes he will be poor some weeks, but others he will contribute like Palace away. He's the only player we have that gets people off their seats, which in our current state, isn't a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Upfront he could win some penalties too with his trickery and pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
