He was about 58 at the time though, to be fair. You don't get to watch Lee Cattermole very often, do you, dear chap?
I am also going to have to go for that ugly c**t Charlie Adam. The man as mentioned above goes out on the pitch with the intent to injure his fellow professionals. f** knows how many times he tried to maim Bale over the years. He also threw in a wrestling move on Sanchez the other day. please log in to view this image
I really can't understand how he's gotten away with so much, or why he's even allowed to keep playing. What's he got to do? Cripple somebody before they throw him out?
I think Charlie Adam may have taken the hard man tag to another level and gone hitman, instead. He looks like he's contemplating where to hide the body.
A well run league gets rid of its Charlie Adamses. Anyone who makes a practice of hurting players worth far more to the league than he is should be sent packing on common sense grounds. Though somehow he's not quite as objectionable now that he's practicing his thuggery on Goons.
We'll there was that incident where he stamped on someone and got done in a way that perhaps others wouldn't have. Cos his defence was that it was accidental. But it was like even the footballing aughorities and press said "Nah - you're Charlie Adam - that was deliberate". Not sure he would've been found guilty if he wasn't a proven ****ing arsehole by that point. The only player I would love to see assaulted in a pre-meditated way. He even put a stop to Paulinho's only good game for us.
It's alarming to think Charlie Adam was close to joining us a few years ago. Apparently we made a late night transfer deadline bid but a Blackpool director who had the final say on their decision to sell, had turned his mobile off. I believe Adam has since publicly made a couple of digs at our club over that evening.
Yeah - I am surprised that the Harry-bashers don't use that near-transfer as a stick to beat him with more often.
As I recall, I think Harry told us through his car window that evening that "the chairman" had made all the moves on this and not him.
Hard to believe that it would have come close without a lot of consent from Harry though. Obviously in public I recall Harry saying (literally) that Adam was a t'riffic player but he must have been positive about it behind the scenes - Levy wouldn't go and negotiate a big transfer for a player that Harry wasn't keen on, would he? Obviously I'm operating on a lot less knowledge but I prefer to simplify things by basically judging Harry's transfer policy simply by the players we signed whilst he was here, assuming that he had veto power over any of them. So he gets all the praise/blame that's coming. Better than saying "this one was a Levy signing, this one was a Harry signing" which people often do to defend their argument that Harry did/didn't have a good transfer track record. But maybe I'm wrong to do this?
