So how would people rate their adopted player so far??
I can see myself writing Andros out of my will.
So how would people rate their adopted player so far??
3 months later, and I still feel the same.I love them all - can I take them all home? Please!!!
Its tough picking just 1. I am probably Dier's biggest backer at CM, so I'll back him even if I don't adopt him. I am a big fan of Alli, and what he has shown in a short period of time - his adoptive parents will be proud.
I really like what Toby has brought to the defense, and I feel like Walker may be the mutt who sits in the window but who would make a great pet.
But, the one player I am most looking forward to, and will adopt is Son. He will be like the Son I never had. I've got his back through all his growing pains.

Not had to do much in defence of Dembele so far..
Not if he'd played where Mason was playedwe would have beaten Chelsea if Ali had played.....
in other words. you've kicked him out?I umed and ahed but eventually adopted tom carroll.
Gave it subsequent thought and decided the best thing I can do for him as a parent is take a back seat, let him stand on his own two feet and fend for himself in the big wide world.
It suits me and I'm sure he'll thank me for it one day - plus while he's out doing that I can get my life back (it's a win-win)
very happy with my choice....(still working on plans for the Deli in his honour as im convinced he has some jewish blood in him!)Alli is having a stunning season, performing at a high level, and learning all the time.
The arrogance of the young and ordained(at least by the media) has reared its ugly head since that stunning England debut on a couple of occasions, but that's all part of the process, and I don't think there's a person out there that wouldn't experience that after the way he's been playing.
When he's played in his natural central midfield position, or even a defensive midfield position, he is fantastic. When played in an advanced/creative role his performance suffers, as its not natural to him. If the Gerrard comparisons are to be considered, then also consider that Gerrard started very much as a leggy destroyer type, with a thunderbolt shot. He matured into a Bryan Robson all action player, and then peaked as the second striker in behind Torres.
Alli can very much follow this route. Get the basics and physicality of the game down while gaining experience. Right now he's playing well, but is only at the start of his career. He is going to get so, so much better.
in other words. you've kicked him out?
