ant Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 One of the more composed finishes we've seen from him. I'm not going to try to unpick the 'he's playing for a move' logic, because it's pointless. But he got us up and running today, then played a vital role in pushing on. If these are amongst his final contributions I'd rather it be this way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not remotely surprising though from 'shop window Che'. 8 goals scored this season, 5 of them when transfer windows were open, 2 within a week of it opening and one more 3 weeks before it opened!

You want people to believe that disrespectful shite over a player of such consummate skill that he can pick and choose which games he will score in and which he will not? And a further twist is that it’s all according to the transfer window opening and closing so that he only scores or “ looks good” when he can be transferred? And it follows by this logic that when the window is shut he also actively decides and chooses to not score and not play well? Because, obviously he is an utter c🤡nt of a player taking the p❌ss out of the hand that feeds him? If you believe that’ Che only plays well by design at certain times - and not because he’s inconsistent and pretty much always has been for us - let me show you a nice bridge I’ve got for sale near St Mary’s. Itchen bridge could be yours for three beans. Honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn’t get a new deal either with us or a transfer in January then he leaves himself open to risk being unemployed if he gets an injury.

Hodgey Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Anyone else notice he is suddenly using his left foot - 2 left foot goals in two games !. Every other season he would have tried to run round both those shots to get it on his right. Be annoyed if he’s suddenly become a two footer striker just before he’s off.

It's nothing for a Prem side, but they will probably need to pay him £100k a week and that is a big decision on a player that really hasn't lit the Prem up.

No way he is being offered £100k a week by anyone surely. i reckon he would take 60k on a 3 year deal from someone like palace or wolves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodymatt Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I’d keep, 5 goals in his last 6 - we can’t sign a player capable of that for £6m unless we get lucky. Recent transfer windows suggest we aren’t on a lucky streak for CF options. Perhaps if we do make it up he might sign a new contract. If the numbers were right for us he would be worth keeping on as a squad player for the PL. Otherwise we all move on, which seems the most likely outcome this summer really. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltonaggro Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Having mulled this over, we were only going to get another out and out striker if Adams had left, and this would likely have been one of the lads in the Scottish Premier. That could have been an relatively expensive hit and miss on a number of levels. Adams has got nine goals in all competitions this year and has looked sharper recently (albeit that this may be some of the previous transfer window vim). We at least know what we are getting and he knows his teammates and the system, on his day he is a real handful particularly against the more physical teams in this league and we me see the bruise brothers version this afternoon v Rotherham. First time in years there are goal threats throughout this Saints team, and we have brought in more guile, goals and assists via Brooks. Management and squad all look genuinely up for the second half of the season and I think it's in Che's interest and ours that he's an intrinsic part of that. Optimistic.

pimpin4rizeal Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I know he scored yesterday but it still amazes me that we are still starting wth this absolutely shocking player after years of his dogshit finishing .

Miltonaggro Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 When he’s on his game Adams is most effective as a bully centre forward, the only one we have currently who can use his strength to hold up play, in other words holding his own with the oppo centre backs. Not a great finisher of course but this season looks pretty good when Armstrong is played on the right. Right to retain him in January rather than throw the dice I think.

He's done all can do here, time for us and him to move on. In my view he is in for a tough future and will find it hard to pick up a new contract anywhere especially one that pays him near what he is getting at SFC. He is an appalling finisher, clumsy on the ball and has the vision of a blinkered horse. I doubt many FL clubs have a vacancy specifically for that type of striker let alone struggling PL sides who need goals, goals, goals. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His goals per 90 minutes is comparable with Blackburn's Szmodic who leads the scoring chart in the Championship. If Che had played the same number of games as him at his current goals per 90 minutes he'd have netted the same number 19. He is nowhere near as bad as some claim in my opinion plus his hold up play is excellent and very important for the team. Plenty of clubs would be happy to have him.
