When DCL is unavailable or needs rotating, Adams is spot on in my opinion with the added bonus that we’ve got a prospect in Chermiti who can contribute too. I don’t know what this means for Maupay should we sign Adams but I do think Adams is more suited. Will split opinions but Adams is a solid option - once again, something we’ve lacked for far too long.

I didn’t rate Adams at all, but after seeing him play in the flesh he would most definitely help us. He may not score a lot of goals but he gets us up the pitch and helps keep us there. Would be a decent second choice striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 He is a player that looks like he shouldn’t be any good, that’s the issue. When you actually see him play, you realise he is a very good forward. An absolute handful, can bully defenders, gets under their skin…. And confident enough to try, and execute a good overhead kick.

Palfy Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 For me Adams would a desperation signing. We’ve missed all our targets times running out fuck it we need something because we know what we have isn’t working, the fans are restless let’s get anything in. A familiar story for us let’s not repeat it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 We’ve got most of our targets haven’t we? Looks like Gnonto may be a go as well. Don’t think it’s desperation at all Palf. Looks like a sensible signing, that’s if we’re even in for him. This so far, looks like one of our most successful windows in a long time. duncanmckenzieismagic and patto 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Scraping the barrel already, we must be on our 5th choice striker target with 2 weeks window still to go. Don't panic Mr mainwaring, as usual we end up buying shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We missed our most important targets which was and has been for many years to find a striker with proven goal scoring ability to fill in or take over from DCL, a LB 2 wingers and a young striker who isn’t for this season will add some more depth to the squad, but are they going to get us the goals we so desperately need with a recognised striker of quality. Adams isn’t that recognised striker of quality or a consistent goal scorer, imo he’s closer to Maupay in his abilities than he is to DCL, and for me a pure desperation signing.

RuffRob Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Would be happy to see Che Adams come in if it allows Maupay to go. Btay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 I always took stick for saying Troy Deaney would be a good forward. I like a centre forward who engages the defenders and moves them about. Maupay is neither here nor there, at least with this lad we have an outball. mark hughes was never big or prolific, but he could hold up the ball and got stuck in.

patto Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 We've been linked to Adams for 4years in that time we have wasted millions on so called strikers at this present time we aren't going to get top names. Adams has been pretty steady all his career it's what we need now. Let's get into our new stadium while still in the premier league and take it from there.

Btay Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 I think we all agree we would have liked the big money striker to come in & give us that feeling that we will start banging in the goals. Adams is the signing we should have made last season & upgraded on this season. Better option than Maupay but Adams will need goal scorers around him.

Hafnia Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Even if we kick on in the next few years and get a 20 goal a season striker Che is the type of player we would need. there are games where his style would always be needed no matter where we were in the league. c1982, duncanmckenzieismagic, Shukes and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every player we’ve signed bar Young has been on our radar for a long time and have been extensively scouted and all are in positions we desperately needed to strengthen All of them also fit in with what Dyche wants in a player Sounds pretty much like a plan to me!
