Holmes_and_Watson Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I wish him nothing but the best in Italy, and Internationally. He's another player where Martin's system allowed you to see different parts of his game. He was key in dropping deep to receive passes from midfield. He held it up, brought others into attack and was a physical thorn for defences, giving us space. He scored some good goals for us; often instinctive ones from range. While not the most clinical finisher, I'd often see him taking up good positions. He worked hard, and never seemed to give anything but what he could. Sometimes, not in best of circumstances - when the club smugly anticipated replacements for him, that never arrived, and there was a chance he's have gone then. I look forward to following his progress, and with the above attributes, he should do well. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefizzy14 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I wish Che all the best 😊 He made a big contribution last season to getting us back to where we belong with 15 goals. Scored some great goals for us, particularly the one from the half way line during project restart. Always gave 100% and I loved his all round game. Hold up play and vision were quality. Hope he does well in Italy. Loved his message to us on instagram, class 😊 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Weird player. Class on his day but an absolute donkey at times and his woeful finishing was key in getting us relegated, amongst other things. But last season, we were almost always worse when he didn’t play. Either way, we need/needed an upgrade so good luck to him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams just trots around the field looking half arsed. Not even convinced he likes football. I look out for your posts with interest because they usually mean the complete opposite is true... This is a perfect example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Gifford Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Good player, I have no idea but felt like he took our opportunity to go on to bigger and better teams. A great player, because it takes so much commitment and dedication to earn a pro contract with any team. I applaud him for that. Just can’t help feeling he thought he was better than us, and didn’t help that his finishing wasn’t upto an out and out number 9. Wish him all the best as he has played his part in a Saints shirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Fan CaM Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Good luck to him, but pleased he’s gone. I always thought he played like a midfield creator rather than an out and out striker as he did have some imaginative passing in his kit bag. Ultimately though he really didn’t cut it in either the Prem or the Championship if we’re honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think it was pretty much like the tall pall situation .. player gets brought in by another manager then isn’t wanted anymore. difference is though with che we have seen him feature heavily for years so know exactly what he can and can’t do .like people talk about ches hold up play and that he puts a shift in. I’m sure the likes of onuachu would have some qualities too but we haven’t seen enough to even really have an opinion yet. but out of strikers that we have seen play a lot for us I can’t think of anyone who was a worse finisher then Adams Edited July 24 by pimpin4rizeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I agree he didn’t cut in the Prem I’d argue the goals and assists he got last season very much proved he can cut it in the championship.

Oh, he was top scorer in the Championship before he came to Saints, but for some reason he never really achieved his potential with us. Granted he had an ok season last year…playing for a move perhaps…but it was hardly in the same league as Arma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Time was certainly right for a parting of the ways. For me Che Adams was signed as a good Championship striker, with the hope of some potential to step up in the EPL. In fairness to him he seemed to put the effort in, but the standard of the league has moved on a bit. On top of the effort, and good hold up play, he also scored a couple of screamers (Sheff Utd away springs to mind). Thought he served us reasonably well last season as well. But sorry, the lasting memory for me though will be the clusterfuck of an opportunity at Wolves. Don’t begrudge him his move to Torino, hope it works out for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked hard and held it up well. For all the stick he got on here, he always tried hard and that’s more than can be said of a lot of players over the years.

Baird of the land Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 He was a solid if unspectacular premier league striker. Glad for him that he’s doing well. The problem is we failed in replacing, instead opting for cheap trash like archer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearers 5 seasons with us he scored 3, 0, 3, 4, 13. Che had 5 seasons and scored 4, 9, 7, 5, 16, We get rid of them both after their best season with us and replace them with two shit players who do nothing. So Saintsy, the definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
