Arbroath1320 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Che Adams is not good enough to play for England so this "will he, wont he?" story could run on for a long time. Nigel Quashie came in on the granny but he actively approached the SFA and told them he wanted to play for Scotland, as I understand it. I've got no problem with the granny rule but I'd like to see some desire to play for Scotland. A player holding off in case England come calling doesn't tick the boxes for me.

The stupid bit is saying you would only consider him after the 2nd biggest international tournament on the planet is played out...let's pick the best possible squad available for the tourney and give ourselves the best chance possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very misleading statement above Aye, that is pretty much Clarke saying publically to Adams that if he wants to play for Scotland, Adams needs to make the next move. If Adams doesn't see that as an invitation then he must be even thicker than the average footballer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Scot1 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Any opinions on how Adams compares to Nisbet or (a fully fit) Griffiths? I imagine that Adams is a quick, pacy CF and a good finisher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost playground stuff. Like that he talks about McTominay in some future matches playing in midfield when two central defenders should be enough.

I get the feeling that it's another Agbonlahor situation, though, where he wants to play for England. Which I completely respect. Yeah... I'm not sure which opposition that would world be, though. 10 hours ago, ParisInAKilt said: Perfect response from Clarke really It is.

He's like a faster Steven Fletcher. Not a good finisher. His hold up play and link up play are good, though. Awful in the air. I'd have Dykes and McBurnie over him.

He is a player who's stock is rising, some on the Southampton forum think he is good enough for England but want him to choose Scotland as he will get more of a chance. The reality is in his heart is with England though his head might end up surprising or upsetting a few on here.

Well I'd be bitterly disappointed if Scotland fans wanted such a player representing them whose heart isn't in it. I like to give Che Adams the benefit of the doubt and am sure he is doing the right thing - waiting for a chance to play for the country of his birth, the country where his heart is and who he truly wants to represent. An admirable quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
