Adam will provide the Reds with something they've sorely lacked since Xabi Alonso departed for Madrid two seasons ago. He has a sweet left-foot and a magnificent range of passing, he takes penalties and delivers high quality free-kicks both directly and indirectly.
He will add some much needed firepower to the Reds midfield. He scores goals and has a good number of assists, 12 goals and 8 assists in the 2010/11 season. That's more than the £45m rated Luca Modric (3 goals, 2 assists) and Gareth Bale (7 Goals, 1 assist) combined and also more than another Reds targets Stewart Downing (7 goals, 7 assists) and Aaron Lennon (3 goals, 2 assists) who Aston Villa and Spurs both value at £20m.
He will take the creative burden off Steven Gerrard and allow the skipper to venture forward more. Adam to Gerrard......GOAL! He'll provide service that Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez will thrive on. Carroll especially will benefit from his deliveries, so expect to see combinations between these two lead to regular goals.
Some say that he doesn't track back and fades in games, so does Ashley Young, Nani and Downing, all of whom would cost a lot more money. As long as the Reds can get a quality, defensive left-back then we can work around and work on any perceived weaknesses Adam may possess.
I for one think this is the best signing at this time for LFC and that Adam, at only 25 and with his best years ahead of him, will prove an extremely valuable asset as we rebuild.
