Re: Tristan Abrahams
Surely, was it not his own decision to leave Leyton Orient ? If so, then cannot recall if we were paid a small fee for him joining them.

Well there then surely is the answer.CreamofSumYungGai wrote: ↑Wed May 22, 2019 1:07 pm All 3 lads went for really good money, according to the club.
All 3 lads wanted to go to these teams in higher leagues, understandably so. These young players got what they wanted and we got a reasonable fee in return.

Re: Tristan Abrahams
It hasn't panned out but his career is hardly over. If he goes somewhere like Dulwich Hamlet and scores a ton of goals he'll be back in league football before you know it. It's all about whether he keeps doing things the right way (fitness, diet, training. Etc) and avoids the bad habits that you can pick up at semi-pro. Big Marv dropped out of league football and he got his chance again. I hope Tristan sticks at it and proves Norwich and Yeovil wrong.

Re: Tristan Abrahams
Who says he's dropping out of the league? He could well pick up somewhere that fancies a young forward not likely to break into a premiership outfit. He may have impressed one or two league 2 sides on his loan period at Yeovil.Eat The Rich wrote: ↑Wed May 22, 2019 2:39 pm It hasn't panned out but his career is hardly over.

For Abrahams Norwich's promotion created an issue. They may have retained him for another season and tried developing him if they'd stayed in the championship.

Re: Tristan Abrahams
I doubt their promotion has anything to do with this decision. By the time he's anywhere near the first team, they know full well they'll be back in the championship anyway.LittleMate wrote: ↑Wed May 22, 2019 2:49 pmWho says he's dropping out of the league?

I wonder if he'd stayed, would he be in the position Koroma now finds himself in? I'm not so sure he would have got the necessary game time under Davis or Edinburgh anyway.
But good luck to the lad getting his career back on track.

Re: Tristan Abrahams
the view at the club was that Koroma was always much more talented than Abrahams, but that Abrahams was a grafter with the right attitude. And that's why the latter went and the former didn't. Abrahams will have a serviceable career around League 2 level IMO. Koroma could do better, but that depends on his willingness to graft and mature.

I believe he was a scholar at Stevenage.CreamofSumYungGai wrote: ↑Wed May 22, 2019 3:21 pmWhere was Marvin? I had no idea he'd been in the league before?Eat The Rich wrote: ↑Wed May 22, 2019 2:39 pm Big Marv dropped out of league football and he got his chance again.
EDIT: Just checked, it was Oxford not Stevenage.

Re: Tristan Abrahams
Harry Beautyman dropped out of the league, went NL and got back to league football. Now back in NL. Sam Ling too as dropped out and come back.
NL don’t mean the end of a league career.

Re: Tristan Abrahams
Good luck to him indeed, but the league you play in does have an effect on how clubs view their squads. The 2nd line players at Norwich now need to be at a good championship level and Abrahams shows no sign of achieving that. The same here really with Alabi. He may well have been on the "stay list" instead of being available for transfer if we'd not been promoted.CreamofSumYungGai wrote: ↑Wed May 22, 2019 3:24 pmI doubt their promotion has anything to do with this decision.

Re: Tristan Abrahams
We were still an absolute basket case when he left. He’s had a higher standard of training and League 2 loan spells in which to develop. He (and Dalby & Alzate) all made the right choice. He wouldn’t have been first choice here anyway.

Re: Tristan Abrahams
I think that's unfair saying we were still a basket case.
I agree though, I'm not sure how much game time he would have got under Davis so might not have made any difference if he had stayed.

Re: Tristan Abrahams
Sure, perhaps “non-league club in a state of massive flux after a period of unbelievable instability” would be fairer. And he didn’t play under Davis (he was loaned back to us, if you remember).CreamofSumYungGai wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2019 10:00 am I think that's unfair saying we were still a basket case.

Either way, this isn’t a ‘George Porter’ situation.
