£7m = I want us to sign him
£8m = I'm not bothered if we get him or not
£9m = As above
£10m = Don't want him
£11m = As above
£12m+ = I want the Scum to sign him.

I don't mind him as a squad player (<10M), he might have a "McAllister effect" on us.

Gary Mac was pushing on though...Adam will surely want first team football at his age, or at least be allowed fight for it and not be condemned to the bench from day one!

That's certainly how it turned out. I've always wondered whether it was GH's original intention though.

I remember the uproar when macca was signed and look how that turned out.

He should know that first team football is not guaranteed if he's to join a club like ours.

Gary Mac was first choice rather than a squad player in his first season. And justifiably so.

Can't help it when our captain Redknapp was missing most of the time.
 
Everyone was pretty much resigned to the fact that Redknapp was finished then anyway. Macca was brought in for experience alongside the likes of Stevie, Thommo and Murphy. He got sent off at Highbury in the first week of the season and was used sparingly after that, it was a few months into the season before he made his mark on the side and was played regularly.

macca set pieces were incredible, they used to just hang in the air and just beg someone to put their head through, even the likes of heskey was filling his boots. liverpool scored the most headed goals in the league in 2001 and it was easy to see why.
 
don't understand the problem with adam, whenever I've seen him (which admitedly hasn't be a lot) he has been excellent. I guess for the rest of the time he is rubbish.

Hyypia benefited alot too. I remember the last weeks of the season, it seemed like in every game (and we struggled in a few of them) you could rely on a Macca setpiece to get a goal.

Fair point but Adam is the only one I've seen sue for a 20k bonus for avoiding relegation after he received a bonus for getting promoted.

I think it's a bit more of a risk with him.
[/quote]

but was he not contractually entiteld to both?

i mean, it does seem a bit OTT taking the club to court for £20k, but then it's also crazily stingy of the club to deny him the bonus if it was in his deal.

No I think he is always good, though he had a dip in form after our botched attempt to sign him in January.

I think the reason for the objections to our signing him is basically that people think that if he plays for Blackpool, he must be crap. 🙂

He does talk. He's lying about his tongue being cut off!

You just have to give him the cockney stare.
