According to reports the mancs have bid £12 mil for Adams.

That would be because he's fat and really shit.

I think most of those who dont want him feel that way because we already have enough midfielders to play 1-9-0.

I'm just naming the players that played a few games for us last season:
Defenders at the club - Johnson, Kelly, Flanagan, Aurelio, Robinson Carragher, Skrtel, Agger, Kyrgiakos, Wilson
Not heard many concrete rumours on any of them leaving. Kyrgiakos just signed a new contract. Possibly only Agger and Wilson will leave. And we're rumoured to be in for a centre back and a left back.
Total: 10-2 maybe to go, 2 to come in
Midfielders - Lucas, Spearing, Gerrard, Meireles, Henderson, Kuyt, Maxi, Cole, Pacheco, Poulsen
Rumours of Cole and Poulsen to leave, the rest will more than likely stay. Rumours of us been in for another couple of midfielders.
Total: 10 - 2 maybe to go, 2 maybe to come in
I may be missing a few out, but it looks like we're not as top heavy in midfield as you're suggesting.

Johnson (RB played at LB), Kelly (hopefully not injury prone), Flanagan (unproven fullback), Aurelio (hahaha), Robinson (unproven fullback) Carragher (aging), Skrtel (good, but useless without a good CB next to him), Agger (another hahaha), Kyrgiakos (we extended his contract?), Wilson (unproven CB played at LB which wasnta good idea).
I take your pointthat perhaps we do have enough cover in defense, even if it's a bit shit.
I just think we're a lot weaker at central defense than we are at midfield, so to look at getting in 2 midfielders when needs are greater elsewhere isnt wise.
You forgot Aquilani tho.
That makes 11 midfielders, 12 IF we get in Adam.
