Charlie Adam eh? Christ, there's going to be some slinging of water bottles and flailing of arms when he's on the pitch...and that's just from March and Mysticaldescent.

I hope I'm wrong but at best all I can see is a technically more proficient player looking about at the total la lack of options apart from a ball to crouch's head. As it stands there will still be no one running diagonally into the channels. I'm not convinced he has the discipline to play the role in a midfield two either

I'm in row 32 on the Boothen FM, and I'd rather duck than moan my bag off at our midfielders for never having a go! ;D True! Looks like Chuck will be replacing Whelan as our long-range specialist 'do-you-remember-when-he-scored-that-one-from-outside-the-area-that-time' go-to man! I'm gonna come on here and remind you when he sticks one in the top corner against Manure! ;D (Keep him away from peno's though) ;D

The last good shot at the Brit was Griff against Coventry, circa 1984.

It's a bit early. I await the last minute hitch. Find out at the medical bruised his toe mowing the lawn 7 years ago and it can come back any minute. Something like that I remember that - was it the front or back lawn?

Adam was nominated for Premiership player of the year whilst at Blackpool, I for one am pretty excited by this signing, he hasn't become a bad player overnight, Liverpool was just maybe to big a move for him but if he can reproduce the form for Blackpool then we will be in for a treat. As long as he passes the famous Stoke medical of course ha

Great player will add goals and will provide great service from set pieces. Will be massive if we get him.

Maybe it is just me waking up with an "old school" moment - but I was impressed to see him on SSN turning up in a suit! If I was meeting my new boss for the first time, thats what I would do, not some chavvy T-shirt stuff like most of them seem to arrive in these days. Or am I just edging further towards becoming Victor Meldrew......?

Even if he's with us in 2 years, there will still be some on here calling him Adams!!

If the deal goes through (and I really hope it does) I hope Pulis will give him licence to play football and not cage him in our half or consign him to the wing. Will he play Adam and two wingers? Not sure myself. ...That's all for for next year, of course, as he won't be 'Stoke fit' for six months!

I agree, I really don't see how he fits into the system, and I'm worried that if he's willing to free Adam from the cage then he'll bin off one of the wingers.

i would imagine he'd have spoken to TP specifically about gametime and expect to see him regularly
can't see him coming from liverpool when he had 3 years left on his contract to sit on a bench at any point unless injured.would imagine that guaranteeing him matches would be something he's pretty much insisted upon

IF he signs he will transform our midfield. His range of passing is second to non, he can ping it through to the flying wingers behind the full back or slip a through ball through to pick out.......jerome/owen? Also his delivery from set pieces is better than anyone we have had in the last 10 years. This is the danny murphy/jimmy bullard-esque midfielder we have cried out for since promotion. Also he isnt THAT slow and can put a tackle in when needed but we al know that ;D
