As a generalisation, my view of wingers at 33 years of age is that while they want to dribble past players and leave defenders in their wake, their bodies won't let them do it.
Agree. Who would have been the last actual fan we had playing for us - Peter Crouch?
Matt Ingram, surely?
Before him there was D J Campbell, which given that no-one here seems to even remember he played for us is a bit of a cautionary tale for anyone assuming a player who has done well elsewhere and is a QPR fan is automatically going to be a success.
Key to this story is whether or not Adomah's willing to fit in our post-Covid wage structure and available on a free.

Albert seems like a bright lad. Maybe he has banked his previous football earnings, rather than p*ssing it away on a Bentley, and maybe he sees the writing on the wall regarding the current state of football finances, and realises that a couple of years' swansong on £5k a week with the club he loves wouldn't be a bad move.
I get the feeling that we may see a real resurgence in his energy if he does come here. At least he will actually be able to celebrate a goal here. I've never seen anyone look more crest fallen when they scored. When he scored the pen against us for Villa at the Loft End he looked like he had just gone out the backyard and shot Old Yellow. He looked like Willem Dafoe in Platoon after the second.

Maybe so, and that would be encouraging.
So long as he doesn't see it as too much of a swansong, it's supposed to be us that want a leisure activity on Saturday afternoons, not the actual players.
