people also were judging Adams on a handful of minutes he played at a much higher level than he had previously, after basically missing a year of football.
even then he was making 2 or 3 times as many tackles as any of our other midfielders in the limited minutes he had .

I guess the issue was we had too many midfielders, and we could get some cash for Adams , and Siopis was meant to be that kind of player for us.
