Denis242 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 What about Charlie Adam? Would be a solid midfielder. He can pass,shoot,scoring from freekicks,make corners. He isn't the best defensive midfielder tho. But still good or nah? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myko Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I always presumed the Ireland POTS was some sort of joke / ironic protest against the board? Was it not? Jesus. Pretty sure I voted for Robbie Keane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I voted for Robbie Keane [emoji3] I always thought it was something to do with having a player who attempted forward passes (no matter how badly) in a team filled with defenders.

He is quite slow, but hopefully next to a Gardner/Westwood type doing the legwork, he'd be a decent asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Ireland got POTS as a protest vote because he got bombed out by mcleish in favour of an auxiliary right back Edited March 31, 2016 by Jimzk5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to mention him, hasn't been in the Stoke side recently but was in good form for them not so long ago and regularly scores goals when he gets a run. Good set piece taker aswell. If we're looking for a Kevin Nolan type who scored 15 when Newcastle were in the championship, I think Adam's as good a target as any. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Gueye wanted by marseille for £8mill, representing a 1 mill loss. If that's the sort of hit we'll take selling the newbies, then we'll have well over £40 mill in the bank from total player sales this summer - got to be the biggest budget in the championship.

Let's face it, Mr Stepping Stone (as per his comments when he joined Villa) is not going to stick around so this is probably about as good business as we can make regarding him. It's funny how if this does happen, he'd essentially be taking a side step in terms of his progression in France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
