Transfer Rumour Che Adams

[Nymzee]

You’re making my exact argument which is everything is worth considering. Yeah for a player that always finishes poorly you have to consider how much the ball actually goes in more. It’s all useful information.

We're two games into the season, in which he's only started once, and I do not want to see him on this table:

People were razzing you about your stats obsession, honestly I had no choice but to pile on!

Fine that’s fair. The funny part is I haven’t even looked at the stats for Adams. I don’t feel like I need to.

Yeah, he's rubbish.

I see several players on that list that I’d gladly take if their club is dumb enough to decide they don’t want them because of their presence!

Yes, proven goalscorers unlike ours.

I don't care how desperate we are, I don't want us to sign this lad, he is gash. Just adding more gash to the gash we have. Ché Adams isn't helping anyone. He's rubbish, sick of signing crap and being stuck with them.

A whole world of football and we go for this striker, who got relegated last season, because he didn't score enough goals to help Southampton avoid the drop, why would he help us, makes no sense.

and XG.

His idea of porn is watching the film moneyball. All the stat talk was probably making him flushed

 

[pfim]

Yeah, he's rubbish.

He is but we can’t even get that deal over the line. Doesn’t bode well for, we’ll, any other options.

I've been resigned to our decline for a few years now. We've reached the point of no return, imo, a failure to even sign Che Adams for the ridiculously overinflated fee of £15m is merely the final punctuation point.

Because no sane professional with any sense of ambition wants to come to Everton. We are a basket case.

The thing is we know at this point Maupay is a bad finisher, but if he actually can get to xG of like 12 or whatever, which if we use him regularly is in range, he probably still scores like 8 goals or so. Che Adams probably gets that as a best case and we have to pay more money for that! Just use Maupay and give Chermiti chances. Hopefully DCL gets 20 games in. I’m fine with buying another striker but there is never ever justification to spend 8 digits on a player everyone already knows isn’t any good.

show us ye spreadsheets and give us all wood

 

[blue to the bone]

 

[Nymzee]

So if he's not in the squad tomorrow he's ours.

 

[Aries]

That definitely sounds as if something has moved along with this deal today.

 

[Blue peter]

So waste money and possibly survive, or not to waste money and possibly survive?

I'd go with option C; ask our recruitment team to find someone better than Adams

So would I but clearly something is stopping them from doing that, whether it be their own ability or the hierarchy of the club. I’m talking about managing the situation as it stands now. No one would be happier than me to see us sign someone out of the PL bubble….someone we can at least have some hope for. That looks less and less likely, so it’s get some reinforcements or go with what we’ve got. I do see both sides.
