If he is on the shopping block I'm actually quite surprised he hasn't been linked with another premiership club given he had a very respectable first season in England, particularly when you look to someone like Nasri who (like so many others) took at least 18 months to get to grips with the pace and physicality of the game here. Having said all that, you wonder if Kenny has looked at Adam and come to the conclusion that he carries an equal goal threat and passing ability to Mereilles but that he is also a more robust player who will win headers, throw himself into tackles and offer more defensively? For all his qualities, I winced on more than a few occasions last year when Mereilles bottled another 50/50 tackle.
If selling Mereilles means Kenny gets the money to switch attention to bringing in the desperately needed upgrade at Centre-half we need then I say do it.
i agree he can only get better for us and i hoped he would have toughened up for the coming season as he was a decent player last year.the rest of his game is strong just has to work on the tackling.
id say the only reason he will leave is if we cant offload the other rubbish to gain funds for replacements.
