Rodgers will use Adam as bait in new bid to bring Fulham's £10m Dempsey to Liverpool
Posted Sunday, August 12, 2012 by Dailymail
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is prepared to jettison Scotland midfielder Charlie Adam in order to sign Fulham’s Clint Dempsey.
Rodgers sees the 26-year-old as surplus to requirements at Anfield following the arrival of Joe Allen from Swansea City on Friday and the impressive form of Jonjo Shelvey.
Rodgers and the club’s American owners want USA striker Dempsey but have been unable to agree a deal with Fulham, who value him at £10million.

But Liverpool hope the inclusion of Adam as part of the package will help push the move forward.
Fulham are looking for a creative midfielder following the departure of Danny Murphy.
Rodgers is an admirer of Adam but has been surprised by the emergence of youngster Shelvey, who was picked ahead of his Scottish rival for the Europa League win against Gomel last week.
Like striker Andy Carroll, there are doubts Adam can fit into the quick-passing style Rodgers wants to introduce.
