Villa 59 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I've seen a lot of Adams and Dendonker and I prefer to keep Dendonker...I don't think Adams is an upgrade on anyone we have the club with the exception of Chambers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO of course, i hope you are right! When you lay it all out like that, yes, I see. Should be a compelling match when we play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a very poor passer and makes bad decisions at times. I think he's Championship quality at best. Dendoncker is a much better player than he is, IMO. Your knowledge of him is greater than mine KMitch, so that makes your opinion more valuable. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Coral has Harry Maguire @ 12/1 and Kalvin Phillips @ 14/1 to be our players at the end of the window. I thought bookies were supposed to know something that we don't, must have been some money on these earlier, it's fortunately not happening now in either case.

Popular Post MWARLEY2 Posted August 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2023 If it is Tyler in and Donck out then i would prefer to keep Donk. He offers the one thing we dont have in midfield. Height. Tielemans McGinn Luiz are all 5ft 9 ish and Kamara is just 6ft. Donk at 6'2 gives us what we might need at times. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic West Ham signings… I’m surprised that Man Poo turned down their 20m bid for Shitty Maguire… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Adams is more aggressive and mobile than Donk, and better going forward. I actually think he's more of an Emery type player than Donk. Also younger? So possible better sell-on value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Dunno about Adams, but I can’t see us signing a player who isn’t good on the ball and can’t pass it well - they have to excel at that, it’s crucial for an Unai player and in an Unai team. And is why we’re so attractive to watch now… FINALLY!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I can’t imagine we’d bother spending any remaining transfer budget on Adams without bringing in another forward player. The only way I can see a deal for Adams happening is if Dendoncker said that he wanted to leave for more first team opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Adams doesn’t make any sense to me - not a right back nor good enough to replace what we have. We aren’t going to be paying fees like that, assuming any of the interest went further. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) I probably rate Adams more highly than others. He’s come from a Red Bull setup then to whatever Leeds have done. His defensive stats and workrate are top, but in possession passing is not something that’s been a highlight. But he’s a team leader, strong trainer, and while I hate to say it because it’s a superfluous saying - has the intangibles to learn. So if McGinn can be converted into different roles, I believe Unai can do the same with Adams. It would be a 10x better transfer than McKennie. But I agree with others that it doesn’t make sense money-wise and considering we have the depth we have at that specific area.

thabucks Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Yes to Marcos Leonardo but think it’s more likely an agent using our name to push Roma along. Also kinda makes little sense as he’s a similar player to Archer, so unless he’s leaving no space for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Having Adams alongside day Dougie & Kamara is a formidable midfield. He’s a press machine and would free Kamara and Dougie up to be more creative in terms of passing and getting forwards. But unless The Donk is leaving cannot see it, again probs agent talk to push others along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 2 hours ago, DJBOB said: Wouldn’t mind the player but question another center mid who would have to play in the double pivot. That would make 5 players for 2 spots. If Dendoncker goes, it makes sense though. Rate the transfer either way if it happens. If Adams really kicks on, could be a big sell on. I think Adams could play as inverted RB also a bit like Stones and Zinchenko etc.. playing more as a midfielder in possession and as part of a back 4 out of possession. He could also play on place of Kamara too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
