Rich192 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 I rate Adams, he’s a good player, and by far Leeds’ best, and for £20m I think it would be a good signing. An interesting aspect to it is that he can also play as a right back, so could be used as an alternative option for the 3-box-3 formation, whereby he’d go in to the midfield, a left back would become a left sided centre back (either Mings or maybe Torres), and we’d play with a more orthodox left winger. Or he could just be backup to Kamara. Either way, I’ve seen us linked with far worse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Can't say I've seen him play that much, so no idea how good he is. But these "underwhelming" type signings will be pretty normal under Emery, so don't be disappointed, he knows what he's doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
est1874 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Really? We have other more pressing priorities than midfield right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarryOnVilla Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 I’ve only seen him play a few times, I was never overly impressed. But I’ve heard rumbles that he’s meant to be fairly decent. Let’s hope the rumbles are correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_eristic Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Fantastic player defensively but won't give us much of anything going forward as a rule, so maybe an option for the Dendoncker role should he head out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clearly mean we are sorted in midfield for the moment. We also don't have unlimited funds. We desperately need talented attackers/wingers, a backup striker, and competition for both full-backs. We also need an adequate deputy goalkeeper and probably a CB option. All of these are more pressing than CM right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post It's Your Round Posted June 23 Popular Post Share Posted June 23 I don’t watch Leeds so haven’t seen him play. Let’s ask the Leeds fans on here what they think of him? Oh wait, they evaporated last season. Such a shame 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 He's a good player and captain of the US of A right? Just sullied by association with Leeds, I guess that's the Jesse Marsch connection... He can play right-side so perhaps but maybe he was a just in case Tielemans didn't sign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Replacement for Dendonker then? We seem to want to really have 2 players for each position. 2 DMs, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted June 23 VT Supporter Share Posted June 23 Hopefully they've got some silly relegation clause in his contract like the £3m Rodrigo one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of these are more pressing than CM right now. But all those are likely in motion, just not close to completion. Adams sounds like it is, so we're hearing about it now.

AshVilla Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 (edited) Still waiting for us to bring in an actual upgrade to the existing starting eleven and not just another bench warmer. May as well have saved the transfer fee and just kept Nakamba around if were looking for this type of player. Edited June 23 by AshVilla 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
