Charlie Adam made waves on social media last week with a brilliantly obscure tweet, a screenshot of his Notes app, announcing that he had extended his contract with Stoke City.

What fans didn’t quite understand was why the midfielder hadn’t simply tweeted it – you had 61 characters to spare, Charlie!

Stoke’s Twitter account retweeted Adam’s tweet with their own congratulations too, and that was that.
Good to have you with us for a further year wee man! 👍#SCFC 🔴⚪️ https://t.co/xVn8pSDQOl

But when the club announced that defender Ryan Shawcross had signed a new contract, he got a full photograph and everything.

Adam saw that and decided to reply in good humour, referring to his own tweet from a week ago – give the man a photo opportunity, someone?

Never mind Charlie, some fans thought yours was better anyway.
