[Albion] Tyler Adams

[Mancgull]

I expect a release clause of £20m makes him very cheap compared with alternatives where clubs know we have nearly £100m available.
Bit underwhelming IMHO.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Buying someone with a release clause makes sense for us, as we will find no value anywhere else. I think he will be decent enough although if the 4 month layoff is true we should steer clear.

David Ornstein
Thinks he's almost ready to play

"24yo Leeds midfielder close to returning from injury + expected to be back after international break."

 

[macbeth]

look adams isn’t a bad player, and would do what we need him to well. but i’ll be very disappointed if he’s our only replacement, due to the fact he has an atrocious injury record. if our issue now is that we’re missing ball-winning ability without caicedo, then adams only solves that so far as there’s going to be quite a few games this season where he’d be unavailable due to injury. if we don’t sign anyone else who can step into that role then we’re just back to square one, and totally at the whim of the player’s terrible fitness record

Would it be mental to play Milner as our ball winner?

Had this conversation yesterday. He could definitely do it but probably not in back to back twice a week games

 

[macbeth]

Would it be mental to play Milner as our ball winner?

certainly an option. but not something that’s viable across the season, with the schedule we have

 

[Motogull]

If he has a release clause, he may well want another, so he'll Kudus himself.

 

[Beanstalk]

Close to return from injury? Or out for another four months according to Chelsea's medical team?

It’s not according to Chelsea’s medical team though is it? It’s a Chelsea podcast host taking a source from the Mail. I’ll choose to trust Ornstein.

 

[US Seagull]

The release clause in question might be a relegation release clause.

I'd imagine we'd be more open to including such a clause.

Had hamstring surgery in March and not played since - why would you risk any money on him, when seen what hamstring surgery has done to Lamptey.
Would be madness.

 

[Springal]

Apparently back in ? He did pass his Chelsea medical, but they pulled out so the deal collapsed

Where's this new link? It's an absolute no brainer this one.

 

[BrickTamland]

Rumoured to be out for 3/4 months.

Certainly would need another player in the door

It sounds to me like Chelsea made that up for PR.

Also seen what it's done for Welbeck

I had a feeling that would be the role he played against Luton. I think he'd do the job pretty well, if called upon, though as others have said – not every game.

 

[Stato]

Not sure that we are actually interested, but the timing of the medical results arriving and Chelsea backing out of the deal on the same morning that they were also desperately searching down the back of the sofa for another twenty million quid to make the Caicedo deal happen was, let's say quite coincidental.

 

[lizard]

Also seen what it's done for Welbeck

Totally agree, we shouldn't pay more for Adams than we did for Welbeck.

 

[dwayne]

I think this guy used to be a good source but now hopeless
