Liverpool tell Adam & Cole they can go

[Mostar]

Yossi had a bad injury early on in his Chelsea career that put him out for the season. He was on a hiding to nothing then. No way back for him now.

Granted he is not a player he once was but I think he can still play.

[Daniel 7]

I agree, its just that at Chelsea he is waaaay down the order after their summer recruitment. I really like Yossi - I reckon he would be a useful addition to the new manager's system.

[Reece]

Didn't he go to Arsenal, or was that just on loan?

[Chazza]

Just a panic season loan end of last summers transfer window.

[Daniel 7]

Season long loan desperation singing from Wenger

I'd take him too.

He can be as good addition as Bellamy was for Kenny last year.

[Daniel 7]

Do you know if the big injury had any long term effects on him?

[Mostar]

No that I know.

He just hasn't been picked by Wenger more regularly as Arsene decided to use Oxlade-Chamberlain more often.

[Daniel 7]

Haha, after much prompting from the booing Arsenal fanbase. So, not exactly a strenuous season for him last year. Shame for him to run down a contract at Chelsea, hope he gets a first team move somewhere.

Well for some reason Adam has totally forgotten how to take a set piece compared to his Blackpool days so he needs to go as that's all he really offers imo.

even if he could take a decent free kick or corner at blockpool, we would be mugs to fall for the bait that Drunken Bacon Face had laid down and coughing up money for this bloke.


oh wait...

[Vermilion]

He was just on 5 live, and...

Charlie says...

Sorry it didn't go as planned or hoped at LFC, but that's how it is when a new manager comes in, things change.

Brendan Rogers was great with him from day 1 till he left, and even in that short time Charlie says he learned plenty from him, and he'll go on to be a great manager for the club.

Charlie also said Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and he enjoyed his time there, even if... as he says; it didn't go as well as he'd have hoped.

Fair play to him, not a hint of bitterness or big time ...er....Charlie.

Good read here.

Charlie Adam would go just about anywhere to watch a game of football.
It is not unusual for him to turn up on the terraces at League Two Fleetwood Town or on the sidelines in the Blackpool and Fylde Sunday Alliance with bacon sandwiches for his mates.
But when Brendan Rodgers told Adam that he would be little more than a spectator at Liverpool this season, the Scotland playmaker decided enough was enough.

‘I’ve got more respect for myself than that,’ says Adam. ‘I could have sat there for the next two or three years and played here and there in the Europa League, come off the bench if I was lucky or sat in the stands like I was against Manchester City in the last game I was there.
‘But I don’t want people saying I just sat doing nothing.
‘I’ll probably get more respect as a person by taking the opportunity to play somewhere else.
‘It was hard to leave because Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world, but I want to play football. I went to see the manager after being on the bench for the first couple of Europa League qualifiers because he had brought in Joe Allen, Lucas was coming back from injury, Stevie Gerrard is one of Liverpool’s greatest players, and Jonjo Shelvey was playing as well.

‘He said he saw me as a squad player. I respect the decision he made. He said I could look for a club and I did that.’
Barely a year after completing a £6.75million move from Blackpool and being driven through the gates of Melwood by Kenny Dalglish, Adam was following his boyhood hero out of the club. But he is proud of what Liverpool achieved in a season in which cup success ended a six-year wait for a trophy, but failed to mask a dismal Premier League campaign.
‘Kenny Dalglish was the greatest to play for Liverpool and Scotland, so for someone like that to sign me was an honour,’ he says.
‘It was difficult when he left but the owners put a lot of money into the club and felt they had to change the manager.

‘Time wasn’t on Kenny’s side but Brendan Rodgers will get the time. There’s a lot of pressure but he’ll get it right. I enjoyed my year there and I think it was successful. We got to a Carling Cup final which we won and an FA Cup final we lost. It’s a great place to play and I’m looking forward to going back.’
Adam returns to Anfield tomorrow with Stoke, the club he joined on transfer-deadline day.
There was interest from Fulham, Newcastle and Fenerbahce. He also had a chance to move across Stanley Park and join Everton, but Stoke gave Liverpool back £4m on their investment and offered Adam a £45,000 weekly pay packet.
Sitting at Stoke’s training ground, Adam smiles: ‘I can’t say if it was going to happen because I’ve come to Stoke and that would be disrespectful to them. I had the choice of two or three clubs, but it was about making the right choice.

‘When you leave a club like Liverpool you have to go somewhere you’ll feel comfortable and progress as a player. To come to Stoke was an easy decision.’
On the face of it, Liverpool’s pass-and-move philosophy could not seem further from the aerial assault routinely unleashed on Stoke’s opponents. The signings of Adam and Michael Owen may have signalled a slight change of thinking but the Scot insists they must adapt to Stoke, not the other way around. However, his dead-ball deliveries should be a devastating addition to Stoke’s armoury.
‘Stoke have always been able to pass the ball but when you’ve got somebody like Peter Crouch up front at 6ft 7in, why not use it?’ asks Adam.
‘I wouldn’t say Stoke’s image is going to change because they’ve been successful with what they do.’ Adam has played for six clubs since making his senior debut for Rangers eight years ago.

He admits to being ‘homeless’ after selling his house in Poulton-le-Fylde and moving into a hotel while looking for a place nearer Stoke.
It is a wrench for the boy from Dundee who adopted Blackpool as his home.
This is where Adam met his wife Sophie-Leigh (he married the former Miss Great Britain on the banks of Loch Lomond in June) and had some of the best moments of his career inspiring Blackpool’s promotion to the Premier League in 2010.
Adam will not forget what Blackpool did for him as a person and a player.
He still visits the club to chat with their manager Ian Holloway and his old team-mates, and is regularly seen around town or playing golf with his friends.
He even sponsors their local Sunday league team, with his support stretching beyond simply arranging for a new set of kit and training gear.


‘I was watching them one Sunday and I took them bacon rolls and a cup of tea each before the game. They were delighted with that.
‘Since I moved to Blackpool I’ve met a lot of great people and if it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t be as successful as I was, because I’m settled off the pitch. They’ve helped me so I thought I’d repay them a bit by sorting out new kit.
‘It doesn’t matter whether it’s Fleetwood or Blackpool, I love to watch games. I was meant to go to Blackpool the other week, but it was too cold. I stayed in and watched the Champions League!’
Adam struggled to make an impact at Liverpool, scoring just two goals in 37 games, as well as missing a penalty in the Carling Cup final shootout with Cardiff.
Dalglish — dogged by the Luis Suarez controversy and nearing the sack — had been without Adam for 11 games after he suffered a knee injury at QPR in March.
Adam still finished the season with more assists than any other Liverpool player, however, so it seems unfair when his name is thrown in with those of Andy Carroll, Jordan Henderson and Stewart Downing as Dalglish signings that did not work out.
‘I played in the Premier League for Blackpool and earned the right to go to a club like Liverpool,’ he adds.‘My time there was up and down. I created a lot of goals but the biggest disappointment was that I never scored enough.
‘At 26 I still want to play for my country, and that had to be taken into consideration too. If I wasn’t playing for Liverpool, I wouldn’t have been playing for Scotland.’
