Charlie Adam

Why is that post so horrific to read?

Make it stop.

Charlie Adam insists he still wants to leave Blackpool - despite the Seasiders extending his contract by a further 12 months.

Blackpool claim they have tied Adam to Bloomfield Road until June 2013 after unilaterally taking up the one-year option on his deal.

However the Scotland midfielder, who was gutted at being denied a move in January, is adamant he wants to switch to a Premier League club.

Liverpool, who along with Tottenham and Aston Villa, failed to land Adam in the last transfer window remain keen.

Speaking ahead of Scotland's Carling Nations Cup decider against the Republic of Ireland on Sunday, the Blackpool skipper said: "I just want to keep playing. Obviously the Premier League is the top of the tree and obviously I want to play there.

"For me the focus now is just on Sunday and I need to keep performing well.

"Once that is out of the way I'll go on holiday and then take things after that."

Republic of Ireland midfielder Stephen Hunt believes Scotland are firmly on the right track – so long as Charlie Adam doesn’t think he is Pele.

The Wolves player could not resist directing a veiled barb at the Blackpool playmaker who has attracted so much attention in the English Premier League.

Adam played for Scotland on Sunday at Craig Levein’s request despite a recurring back injury in the 1-0 defeat which cost the visitors the Carling Nations Cup.

And Hunt insisted that Levein must make sure Scotland put the emphasis on teamwork when they resume the Euro 2012 qualifiers in the autumn with three wins required from three games to claim a play-off spot.

‘I haven’t really seen much of Scotland during the campaign but if they keep the side together and build on that then the team can grow,’ said Hunt.

‘They have some quality players, but the key thing is to stay a team.

‘You don’t want certain individuals thinking they are Pele. I won’t mention any names. Put two and two together and you can work it out …

‘I have a lot of time for Craig Levein because he was coach at Dundee United when my brother Noel was at Tannadice. He’s always done a good job with his teams. I wish him all the best.’

What a strange interview.

What has an Irish Wolves player to do with a Scottish Blackpool player?

 

[Stulikesdrums]

Its Stephen Hunt though. He's an absolute pleb.

 

[Judge Jules]

His name deserves to become rhyming slang.

Charlie Adam ate all the pies

 

[Avmenon]

Deal must be dead now surely.

 

[Hansern]

Nah, I read that a fee is a agreed and everything. Dont think there is a rush regarding this deal though.

 

[Avmenon]

How many midfielders do we need?

Assuming we can't sell Aqua; thats him,Gerrard,Shelvey,Spearing,Lucas,Maxi,Cole, Ming and now Henderson.

 

[Hansern]

Cole will be sold and Henderson can be used on the right. We ended the season with Spearing and Lucas in the middle, nothing wrong in buying some central midfielders.

We'll probably line up 4-3-3 in some games aswell.

Re: Re: Charlie Adam

Lucas and Adam could be a decent pairing in the middle

JIMMY Armfield thinks Charlie Adam is good enough to play for any of the Premier League’s best sides.

Pool’s skipper has been linked with Liverpool and Manchester United in recent days, sparking debate about his ability to play at the top.

However, Blackpool legend Armfield has no doubts.

“I think he’s good enough to play for the top four,” he said.

“I think he’s proved that he can play in the top level.”

“It’s difficult to say how he’d do at somewhere like Man United, as he didn’t pull up any trees at Rangers, but I think he’s good enough.

“People keep saying he’s a big fish in a small pond at Blackpool, but I don’t agree with that.

“There are other good players at Blackpool, as well as Charlie, and he knows that.”

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is expected to make his move for the 25-year-old soon, after failing with a £6m bid in the January transfer window.

Despite the midfielder only having 12 months left on his contract, Blackpool will hold-out for at least £8m for their prize asset.

And Armfield thinks Adam’s worth the cash.

“It’s hard to put a price on players really, I suppose it depends what the clubs that want him value him at,” he said.

“Charlie’s been very good for Blackpool, but Blackpool’s been very good for Charlie too.”

“There’s no point staying if you aren’t happy though.

“It’s hard enough playing, without being unhappy as well.

“Charlie will have aspirations of playing in the Premier League after doing so well there last season.

“Now Blackpool are in the Championship, I can’t blame him for wanting to play in the top flight.”

Armfield played his whole career at Bloomfield Road, despite being rated as one of the best right-backs in the world.

And he thinks that although Pool will struggle to keep hold of many of their stars, some of them should show more loyalty to the club.

He said: “I think a couple of them might leave, but you have to remember that when this team was put together they weren’t big names.

“They’d all not done it at other clubs, and Blackpool put them on the map.

“I would have thought that one or two of them might realise that and stay.

“But I can’t blame any player for wanting to improve himself.

“It’s a very short career, and you have to make the best of it while you can.”

 

[dmishra]

That pault86 guy on twitter is adamant that Adam is a done deal.

I really don't want him.

 

[ILD]

I think Adam would be a good purchase but I'm not sure it makes much sense after we've signed Henderson. He would give us another option and a cultured set piece taker.

I don't want united to get him. Hope Harry comes back in again from him if we don't.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

The more quality options we have the better. I don't want to groan every time I look at our bench, which I have done for I don't know how long... I'd take Adam no problem.
