Muff 245 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Only in Scotland would a player be classed as a better passer than Xabi Alonso, Andres Iniesta and Xavi Hernandez.You'd see it in England aswell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 You'd see it in England aswell.No doubt Andy Gray would come out with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goianegra 4,682 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 He is, and he's genuinely two footed, which is a rarity.If he's been really disciplined he may well have become a Rangers legend.But remember how frustrating it could be watching him play? No pace at all.That free kick against the taigs though, that was a special moment.No word can describe how awesome that was Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cappa 24 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Pique, a centre back, is better than Adam ffs. I like Adam and I rate him but Houston should be shot for comments like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgruntled_bear 157 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Some people are reading into what he said far too much, it's his job to put a positive spin on things.Is it right in saying we haven't got another International game until next year?. If that's true then that's ludicrous, and more a talking point! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgruntled_bear 157 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Its a year til our next game in qualifying. We've got the keltic cup thing in February.I was wondering what was happening, and thought it was strange when they said we hadn't got a game until next year. Who we got first in the Keltic cup?Hopefully the likes of Bannan, Fleck, Wilson and Forrest start to get integrated into the full squad set up, instead of the old guard.

MosesMcNeil 1,664 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Houston is a boaby, I'm sure it was a jokeHe's on crackFrom the article: "When you ally that with the experience of Stephen McManus, who I thought magnificent, I think the future is bright for the international team."The sooner people realise that the better."A draw with nowhereania, a 7th min extra time win against the michty leichensteiners, shamed in Prague and defeated by Spain. And Adam is as good as anybody in the Spanish midfield.And there was me thinking Levein was the mentalist in the management Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Charlie Adam has turned into an amazing player but you'll get of people on here rambling about how it was right to sell him and he wasn't cutting it at the time, instead of admiring his incredible progress since leaving.Everyone knows this,but he would still be the same old charlie adam for us if he still played here. even though he's playing in the EPL,he still isn't expected to play the way he was at us,and he couldn't do it.

sdunsmb 43 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I know, it's extremely tiring.The self-appointed football experts on here who refuse to admit they got it wrong with Adam.Exactly, I agree with the points people continually make about why we were right to sell him, but equally I think there are strong arguments suggesting letting him go might have been a mistake.It's comparable to when Man Utd let Pique go because he wasn't performing consistently fot them at the time, but should they have held onto him for longer?Obviously not directly comparable because of our finanical constraints but the principle is similar.

papaguy51 912 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Why would you want to reinvent history to make Charlie Adam sound good with us?He wasn't anywhere near good enough when he was at Rangers.

Is it another case of 'In Walter We Trust...But Only When It Suits Us...?'He was good for us and I distinctly remember starting threads saying so at the time.The abuse he got peaked during the Quadrangle year yet, when he played, he was consistently our most dangerous and creative player.

papaguy51 912 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Mate, I started a thread when he signed a four year deal at the peak of his form for us, saying that it was the best move we'd made for years.Fans react to form, and sadly signing that deal was the worst thing that happened to him as he quickly slipped into a comfort zone, which affected his shape and form.Him moving was the best thing for all parties. We haven't exactly missed him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
