Charlie Adam came through the ranks at Rangers and can claim to be the only outfield player in modern times to go out on loan and make an impact on his return.
Don’t believe me? Look through the archives and Allan McGregor is the only other club developed player to have such high profile contributions like Old Firm and European goals.
Sold because of Walter Smith’s tactics not really suiting Charlie Adam and his style of play, the former Rangers midfielder might be thinking about putting the boots back on if an X exchange is anything to go by.
Charlie Adam is player profile Rangers need
Stoke City teammate Jon Walters gave his followers a treat when he revealed that he was going to have a clear out of the boxes of football boots that he had in storage.
A mixture of Nike and Adidas, some prototype and custom made were put on display with the retired Republic of Ireland international promising to dish them out to his followers.
Charlie Adam must be counting the pennies after hanging up his own boots with the ex-Rangers playmaker going begging cap in hand to Walters.
One thing Adam had was a sweet left foot.
Ironically, he’s exactly the type of midfielder that we could do with just now just a few years after he nearly returned to Ibrox.
A goalscorer and one who can play passes to break down stuffy Scottish defences.
A player who is quite happy to take risks and attempt things that risk the wrath of the Ibrox support if they don’t come off.
He maybe didn’t have the longevity of some Scottish players who played under Walter Smith but a reported £7.5m move to Liverpool and a career in the Premier League, that every football fan would be jealous of, isn’t a bad alternative.
If he gets a pair of boots off Walters, it’s maybe worth seeing how effective that trusty left foot of his still is!
