Albert's reaction to scoring a goal last night was a bit strange and subdued? I may be talking out of turn, but looked a bit like someone who may not be with us much longer??
Take a look at the photos when he scored, smiling all the time, think he was just trying to be cool and knew his goal was just "one of many" he's fine, probably didn't like the fans singing about his mate so horribly
Albert went to all four stands last night and clapped. Make of that what you want. Normally done by players that are on there way.
Personally I think it's what Shiny said, he's best mates with Bolasie who had a few songs sent his way last night and the whole thing of him requesting a transfer has probably hit him quite hard.
Adomah would be a fool to leave a club who are obviously in the ascendancy. Stay and he could be playing for us in the Prem in the next few seasons, as a fixture in the side and the subject of bids from the big 3. Leave and he could be warming some Premiership bench, to eventually be sold back to the Championship with all direction and impetus gone
When I see players currently making a go of it in the Prem, who are subject to interest from the biggest teams in England - Scott Sinclair, Victor Moses for example - I see a different standard of player to Adomah. At the moment Adomah is in transitional phase. The astonishing runs that brought him adulation and attention aren't deemed particularly necessary by Del - everything has a time and a place, after-all. So his passing is trying to be improved, his final ball, his positioning (the latter seems a struggle as he drifts into the middle at somewhat inopportune moments), the things it takes to go up a level. Maybe he isn't enjoying this transition. Perhaps he worries that this hard-work is putting back a big move elsewhere. It probably is, but for him it'll be beneficial in the long-term - wherever he goes. I truly believe if he goes either now or in January, he'll be back in the Championship in some capacity the season after. I'm not saying he'll never make it, I just doubt he'll have the career he could have had if he were to have stayed.
After one win? ...After one win? Admittedly, there is only up if you were so close to relegation last year, but still... Absolutely, but Swansea have a real need for a player like Adomah and I would hope that the manager has spoken to Adomah regarding his value for the club and how we'll need to hold our own interests as well as his should be want to take his chance at Swansea.
EnderMB My thoughts are not based upon one win, but upon the squad and what McInnes is trying to achieve here. Yes we are still fragile at the back and we still lack a midfield general, but signing Davis AND Baldock is a real signal of intent by McInnes and crucially by Lansdown. I have been heartened by those signings, because it is a measure of Lansdown's faith in McInnes, and his desire for top class football in Bristol and his commitment to our club which (lets be honest) many had secretly started to question. City have always been at their strongest when SL was holding the reins, and for him to be central to these 2 new signings is a powerful message to us and to the football community. This will not be a season where survival is seen as success, but where our club reaches up for a new status. Lansdown has shown us that, and in McDel we have one of the country's (OK, Scotland's) outstanding young managers to guide us there. The equation is simple EnderMB Lansdown + McDel = Eventual Premiership PS Adomah is needed at Ashton Gate and there is no way he should be leaving yet (and who the hell cares what Swansea need !)
