Liverpool to Hold Talks with Charlie Adam this Week

[Goianegra 4,684]

The Scotland international has long been a target of the Anfield club and they failed in an attempt to agree a deal in the January transfer window.

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish's interest in his compatriot is not thought to have ended and he is again attempting to secure the playmaker, with Sky Bet suspending their market earlier on Monday.

Sky sources understand discussions will consequently take place with relegated Blackpool and Adam later this week.

The Reds have already signed Jordan Henderson from Sunderland and are expected to continue to remodel their squad this summer.

Ongoing interested in Adam, who suits Fenway Sports Group's policy for young, British players, adds to the uncertainty surrounding Raul Meireles.

Despite a promising debut season in the Premier League, it has been speculated that the 28-year-old could be sold due to his age and doubts about his fitness.

Think he'll do pretty well if I'm honest, but not really sure where he would fit in. Would rather have taken Parker despite his age if I was them though.

Also had no idea about the thing with Meireles

Good, i hope this gets tied up quickly as we cant spend any money until we get the cut of this fee.

[Thermopylae 15,287]

Kenny does seem to like British players ... plus a nice pay day for us?

[Jordo 33]

Is our cut 20% ? Can't remember exactly, but I hop Blackpool get a good amount and we put our cut straight into the transfer fund

Did you miss that wee thread about the takeover?

[SirWalterSmithLegend 206]

Since when?

Dont tell me you dont know. Mr Whyte has no pot to piss in and has told Ally if he wants to buy, he must sell or wait until Charlie moves clubs. The original £5m budget has been shifted to another account to go towards our eventual fine from HMRC.

Think it was 20% of the profit

Let's face it though, no one is going to know for certain.

No, i seen it, but there seemed to be only one guy talking sense on it, Spongles or something his name was.

[Clemdog 39,389]

Henderson and Adam.

Bold move by Dalgleish.

[Goianegra 4,684]

Henderson and Adam.

Yeah, player of the year nominee and a young English prospect.

[King Jela 20,378]

Not good enough.

[Clemdog 39,389]

Yeah, player of the year nominee and a young English prospect.

His aim is to win the Premier League and he may well bring in two inexperienced players for large sums of money.

How isn't that bold?

Best of luck Charlie Boy

Gerrard said just 2 days ago top 4 is the target.

[SasaFknPapac 9]

Bringing in those players for a combined fee of £28-odd million is pretty damn bold.

[Clemdog 39,389]

Gerrard said just 2 days ago top 4 is the target.

Do you really believe that? The fans won't be impressed by that.

[bombaybadboy08 15,660]

We will come in at the last moment with a hefty offer then get 20% of our own fee

Seriously though good luck to him.

[50ShadesofBlue 667]

I wonder how quick the money takes to get to use after hitting Blackpool's bank or would Liverpool pay it directly to Rangers?

[Goianegra 4,684]

Do you really believe that? The fans won't be impressed by that.

Yes, going by the past 2 seasons. With Spurs and Man City challenging now, top 4 would be a fairly impressive imo.

Firstly because they won't both be the only CM's (They still have Maxi, Gerrard, Lucas, Mereilles, Aquailanni, Poulsen + others).... and secondly because Charlie Adam's transfer fee won't be a large sum of money.

With the amount of money he will have spent in 6 months I'd be raging.

I'm sure you will reply with Manc City. But Manc City didn't win the CL in 2005, come second in 2007, and then miss out on the Premier League 2 years ago by 4 points.

Of course not, but Poulsen, Aquilani and maybe others will move on .

You're talking in the region of about 26-30 Million for players who might not even play week in week out.

Like I said, how isn't that bold?

Henderson could certainly be seen as bold - he's shown glimpses of quality, but has lacked consistency and is largely unproven. It is a big gamble, as was the Carrol transfer fee. I understand the theory - they are young and Brittish with the potential to be top players for the next ten years, but only time will tell if the gamble pays off.

I definitely don't think signing Charlie Adam is bold at all - far from it. He will probably be available for £5-6m which is a more than justified price tag when you look at his stats in the EPL this season which were incredibly good.

They will probably be able to raise at least £20m if they sell Aquialni, Joe cole, Mereilles, Poulsen.......and that still leaves them with players like Maxi, Gerrad and Lucas to compliment Adam and Henderson.

They also have a chairman who has tons of money, don't really think Kenny is being that bold, he is being pretty shrewd/sensible if anything, compared to big signings of previous years - Robhino, Berbatov, Shevchecnko etc for £30m.
