How the tables have turned. Chelsea has no strategy other than buy everyone and hope the league allows “multi ball” like an old school pinball machine.

CVByrne Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Why are we not moving for him? The fsct Dendoncker is injured? Or we need our finances for Zaniolo after Buendias injury. If Chelsea and Brighton are after him he's clearly a quality player. You don't see them bid for Dendoncker do you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if he is injured and can't get a move now because of it then we won't move for Adams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBOB Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 So how much is that release clause again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) Two things about Adams - 1) He won’t give up during a game like Kamara did. Kamara may be the more classy player but sometimes you need a player willing to rough it up and just be incessantly annoying. Newcastle did what I thought they were going to do at VP last year and took advantage of what still remains a “nice” team 2) With Buendia gone, we need someone to be the annoying little shit on the team and Adams can do that A week ago, I thought this transfer made no sense. Now? A lot of upside here. Edited August 12, 2023 by DJBOB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) We could’ve done with his high intensity pressing against the toon for sure. Zubimendi Would be my first choice but Adams is more realistic. Edited August 14, 2023 by thabucks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears a few clubs (maybe us included) have had him as a backup option and because they know the clause haven't pulled the trigger until they really need to. Either as a backup to their own first choice Transfer for the summer or incase their current player gets moved on in this current insane DM merry-go-round.

Monkeypuzzle Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Dendoncker > Adams Why is our Belgian international, strong, solid defensive midfielder so underated by people here. When he is fit he will be a great person to bring in when Kamara is not on the pace. We do not need to replace him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the replacing him bit is more to do with if Dendoncker wants to leave for first team football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeypuzzle Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I think he is a bit like Nicky Butt, very good footballer but always on the bench because of the quality in his team. Yet quite happy with that sometimes bit part role. It was the same at Wolves for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
