It wasn't only because he didn't sign for us .As far as I can remember he implied he was signing for a higher league club than signed for Ebbsfleet.

Re: Ebou Adams
Alas that showed just how deficient our midfield is in comparison, he's also a master of the dark arts getting our players riled up, takes a booking then doesn't put a foot wrong for the rest of the game. Nasty, niggly player but exactly what we need.

I wish we still had Adams . We never adequately replaced him when he left

Dale Gorman, yes a very strange signing and even stranger that he was rated to be every bit as good as Adams ?Gary the Plumber wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 9:23 pmSid Bishop wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 12:09 pmLing giving him a time ultimatum to sign did not seem to go down at all well, the lesson seemed to be learnt with Ruel who was given far more time than Adams in order to consider his options.

Also wonder why we bothered to sign such an average sort of midfield player, still in recovery from a broken ankle ?

Resricted Budgets you see Max . Pandering to fans wishes for £49 season Tickets & not being able to sell a couple of thousand fans ,leads to small budgets to buy & employ better players !

Re: Ebou Adams
Let’s be honest, except from Adams and Vincelot, we just don’t get good Midfielders at Orient. Don’t even think it’s the decision making tbh, more luck.
Evidence:
Drinan scored 10 goals in his whole career pre O’s, and then gets 13 for us this season.
Some just don’t step up and fall away, others come out of nowhere. Hopefully we can get someone who comes good this season and have a feeling someone like Wellens will.

Re: Ebou Adams
Why is there such an obsession with Ebu Addams amongst the members of this board?
Remember guys, he chose not to stay with Orient, for what ever reason, so let's just let him go
now and move on.
