When we signed Maupay did you think he'd be good company for that list you composed? We are, despite appearances, conditioned to be positive about players when they sign. I'll admit it, from your list I was genuinely positive about Bilic, Nyarko, Koldrup and Gbamin. Adams might not, and probably won't, be as bad as most on that list. However, we already know he won't be great, he almost certainly won't be very good, he'll likely be OK but no better than OK, and he might be another Maupay.
Those of us opposed to this transfer are, in part, mourning for the club and what this transfer means for us. We are fodder. That's what signing Ché Everton Adams confirms.
