News Taylor Adams coming to Pies? Hine: "Yeah, I think so"

[ash84]

If Adams can continue to improve to a 23-25 touch player a game, that is a big win for us.

What changes will it make to the side?
Who takes Heaths spot?
Whose spot does Adams take?

 

[ipswichpies]

A great outcome for the Pies and also Heath,win win all around he does not lob at a top 4 and make one them stronger and for Heath himself 5yr contract on very good money and a chance at further development work after he finishes playing.

Things might begin to fall in place for our other trades in the pipeline,we get Adams and 2 1st rd picks happy days indeed.

Heath just needs to pull his head in a bit and he can set himself up for life after football.

Good stuff Heater. You've solidified your status as a Pie legend by helping us out here.

Best possible outcome for the club.

What a champ taking a 5 year 700k deal true legend.

Gws get Shaw pick 27 and our 3 rounder, Pies get Adams pick 20 and a third rounder witch we give to swans for white ;-) ;-) wink, wink Happy days robbing the bank.

Young/Toovey come in for Shaw

Adams comes in for Thomas/Blair

 

[malteaser]

So when taylor runs out, we all know that there will be the link to health. we will never forget Health he singlehandedly won us a GF

 

[Mkcaptain]

If we can pull off a trade while keeping two first round picks it would be incredible. I have a feeling we might downgrade pick 11 to early second round though

Picks 10 11 Adams and White for Thomas and Shaw and for losing to Port........great trading Pies!!

 

[Premier Pies]

Thank god that Heath isn't going to the Cattery and making them stronger. I can't wait to read on their forum that Heater wasn't really wanted and wasn't worth their first round pick.

 

[Scottabe_pendles]

Or perhaps a mixture of both? WednesdayWarrior has made a highly pertinent observation about the way we view each other as posters, particularly those whose avatars don't feature footballer. There are numerous avatars that seem to reflect some aspect of the poster's personality or interests which isn't immediately apparent to the user. Shpeshal Ed strikes me as a flamboyant, in-your face type from his posts and his avatar. September Action, eddiebankbalance, Wooljay, Joely, The Last Emperor and shade all use animations. jmac70 has a double headed concoction and Rufio's character would be tough to pin down using his avatar because it changes constantly. But yeah avatars often affect the way we visualise other posters.

I guess the crux of the post is that your use of Gatsby as a picture reflects a literary background (and your writings too I'd add... not a bad analogy - especially Shpeshal Ed)

 

[malteaser]

I want pick no. 1

They'll also be saying they didnt really want Adams

Doesn't need to improve to be a 23-25 possession player, he already is.

Remember that his 21.2 average is 2013 is pulled down by a 5 possession game where he got injured (round 1) and a 12 possession game where he was the sub.

Take those out and he's already averaging over 23 a game, and that's just in his second year.

At worst he'll be as good as Sidebottom (different type but that level), but he could well be as good as a Beams, or even Swan in years to come.

Nah, we wanted Adams but not Shaw. Well done for (seemingly) getting Adams.

 

[Number 10]

I'm so devastated. Shaw was the heart and soul of this club in its only premiership in 20 years. Never felt this way about a player leaving before.

 

[Number 10]

On the flip side, having spoken to a gws player I have contact with... Said the bloke is a psycho-see ball get ball no matter if its just training. Always 100% dedicated to the pill.

 

[ash84]

Don't think Blair would be stoked with this signing.
But more competition for midfield spots is what we need.

This is the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard.....

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

Most were happy to get Shaw for a second round pick. Some would have been ok with a first rounder. Only a few didnt want him.

 

[Jonno94]

Don't think Blair would be stoked with this signing.

Even more so when Blair is number 11 for us and Adams is 11 for GWS.

Sounds a little far fetched to me. Love your passion.

I would of been happy with Shaw. I would of been rapt with Adams. Cats a chance at Nick Smith, otherwise we maybe finished for bringing any one in. Pies with Adams, 10 &11, on top of Grundy and Kennedy last year have a nice little foundation for the future!

Year of the Cat, I will await official confirmation of the trade, however, in anticipation of a successful outcome for the Pies, I commend you on conducting yourself as a gentleman during these tense negotiations. You have represented your club with honour sir. Fair play.
