Usual negativity from some over the signing of Adams from a lower division, unfortunately I go back to when we signed Gary Bell from Lower Gornal and he was once voted our greatest ever left back and Jamie Vardy hasn't made a bad career out of it. Can anybody add to the list?

You will find some gems in lower league or non league football but of all the thousands of players who have played football I am sure most of us could not name 50 gems that have come out of lower league football in the last 20 years The fact is they are few and far between Also if they are over 25 there is even fewer

Arguably our best right back in the past 30 years joined us from Caernarfon in the welsh league. Sometimes all these players need is to be playing with a better quality of player than they would in the lower leagues.

Keep getting Caernarfon and Carmarthen mixed up. Like you said either way, there are some right gems in the lower leagues, just need the right opportunities.

Clubs signing players from the lower divisions was the way it used to be before big money come into the game,no one was signing players from abroad like it is today,loads of top players in the lower divisions
