What will Charlie Adam add to Liverpool’s squad? – English Premier League
Charlie Adam’s transfer to Liverpool has been perhaps the most popular topic of discussion in this summer’s transfer window, carrying forward its popularity from the January transfer window when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 first made a bid for the
Scottish midfielder. Charlie Adam rose to prominence at Blackpool where his performances for Ian Holloway’s team earned them a place in the English Premier League following a wonderful 2009-2010 Championship season.
In the 2010-2011 seasons, Charlie proved his worth as he led Blackpool to a top half finish in the first half of the English Premier League season but soon Blackpool’s performances dwindled after the January transfer window and
the Seasiders were eventually relegated after their defeat to Manchester United on the last day of the season.
It was a disappointing end to a fantastic campaign for both Blackpool and English Premier League but soon there was a realization within the Blackpool camp that their http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Captain-c8314 might not be with them for another season as several
Premier League clubs were interested in his signature. Liverpool have now sealed a deal for their new central midfielder but where does Adam fit into Kenny Dalglish’s plans at Anfield.
For Charlie Adam it was imperative that he signed for a club in the top half of the English Premier League table as at just 25 years of age, he is at the peak of his abilities which need more maturing and development, something
that can only come by playing for a top class team in the Premier League. Liverpool are now set to provide Adam with that opportunity but it is already difficult to see the Scottish midfielder was a starter at Liverpool because the Reds already have several
central midfielders in their squad.
In http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lucas-c22528 Leiva, Liverpool have six central midfielder and now with Adam’s addition that tally goes up to seven. However Kenny has already shown that
he is willing to play Meireles on the right wing and Jay Spearing along with Shelvey are still youthful prospects who might be heading out on loan.
Add to this the injuries that have plagued http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Gerrard-c34196, Charlie Adam’s arrival at Anfield only cements the belief that he will add strength and depth to Liverpool’s thin squad which was unable to overhaul Tottenham and finished
sixth in the 2010-2011 Premier League season. Adam is primarily seen as a deep lying playmaker in the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Xabi-Alonso-c37045 mould so it is quite possible that Kenny Dalglish will use a 4-2-3-1 formation which will be translated onto the field as follows;

http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Aurelio
Charlie Adam – Lucas Leiva
Maxi Rodriguez – Steven Gerrard - Luis Suarez
Andy Carroll
In this formation, Gerrard will play right behind Carroll and Suarez will drift in from his left wing position to link up with Gerrard and Carroll. At the back, Charlie Adam will dictate the tempo of the match with Lucas assisting
him by providing protection to the back four. It will be interesting to see whether or not Kenny goes with his formation given that it leaves out Jordan Henderson who will probably come off the bench if things aren’t going well for Liverpool.
