Neal Posted February 28 Posted February 28 (edited) I think Adam shouldn't and can't be compared to any other English player, simply because he doesn't play like a typical Englishman. I believe he's the only player that's been produced in this country since Scholes that plays like a typical Spanish or old school Italian player. I'd build the England team around him. An extremely important player with unique qualities that we haven't had for a long long time. Edited February 28 by Neal 5 Quote

roversfan99 Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Jason Lowe was playing in the Championship, Andrews was clearly a level above him. Akpan was as bad if not worse though. 1 Quote

Carrick was a great player, misused by England due to an obsession with fitting Gerrard and Lampard into the same team, but he was neat and tidy, rather than playing the line breaking passes that Wharton does Edited March 2 by KentExile 4 Quote

He's not even playing for England regularly or doing it at a top team. He has the potential to be better than Carrick but already "some distance better than prime Carrick" is ridiculous. Players go off the boil (not that I think he will) or end up played out of position at the wrong club. Where did you rank Jones when he left us for United? I bet you had him as above Adams 3 Quote

I bet you had him as above Adams Jones injuries were serial and with long-term consequences. He was a reckless defender who cost himself an even better career than he had. Never able to fulfil all his promise. 2 Quote

He was making the same mistakes at 25 that he was making at 18. Too impetuous by far. 3 Quote

Carrick could play inch perfect 60 yard passes with both feet Given time he could. Wharton can make those passes instantly. It’s his speed of thought and execution that stands him out. That’s why he’s made such an impact at Palace. 2 Quote

I bet you had him as above Adams I do not think it is, I just think it is having an eye for a player. But you are of course entitled to your own opinion on that Jones, I had as having the potential to be certainly a regular England squad member, and possibly a regular in the England team, given the relative dearth of centre back talent available in a post Campbell, Ferdinand, Terry world.. Obviously injures put paid to that As for above Adams, no. He, like the other 3 I mentioned were genuinely some of the best in the business during the height of their careers Edited March 2 by KentExile 1 Quote
