Koroma is a much better player than Abrahams.Disoriented wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2019 8:56 pmI am sure Abrahams has the same thoughts too.Mr. Peanutbutter wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2019 8:54 pmA team just relegated from the Premier League v a team just promoted form non-league.
Hmmmm.
And that's just the nature of football. Lots of players have potential, but how many go on to have a successful career, especially at the higher levels? Clubs are buying the chance of a player going onto bigger and better things and appreciate that this might not happen.
And how do you think that would work? Genuinely interested.
Be fair, he is the only player who had more than one decent season with us who didn't move on.
Kitchen, Cunnigham, Roader and others left in the 70's. It's how it works with most clubs.Beradogs wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2019 8:41 pm I am sick of the apologists when we sell our best players. They must be supporters from the last 15-20 years. Funny isn’t it, we have been sh*t ever since we called ourselves little Leyton Orient and sell anyone that can kick a ball in the straight line. Before that we spent years in the championship. Good players came and stayed.
Gone backwards. f*cking hell some people think weirdlyDisoriented wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2019 9:13 pm He is now but not when Abrahams left. For his career, Koroma did the smart thing in staying and getting regular game time.
Abrahams took the shekels and has gone backwards.
You think Orient should have tried to match Championship Huddersfield's offer?
Have to agree with you, I think JKs L1 not championship & I don't feel is half as good as the love I'm hearing,

At some point, and I am using Huddersfield as an example, they must have kept there good players. Any team that is in the top two divisions has kept good players to be able to play there. It wasn’t magic. From 73 to 92 Huddersfield were in division three or division four all bar two seasons. We were in division two or three. We were a much better team than Huddersfield. From that time they have played in the premier league and us in the conference. At some point they must have stopped selling players and started buying good ones instead In that time we have never kept our best players ergo Huddersfield are now better than us and people comment here about of course he is going to go, it’s the great Huddersfield. The great Huddersfield that used to be sh*t until they stopped selling players and bought the good ones from the likes of us.

Very selective with your stats re Huddersfield
1stly they were in Div 2 five of those season's
They were in Div 1 in 1970-1972
They also have a history of being in top flight. The period you quoted was the club at a low

You mean the bloke who hardly paid a transfer fee for anybody?Loyal_Supporter wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2019 8:22 pm Looking at all the comments, we are never happy. No ambition, deeply concerned....WHAT THE f*** DID YOU EXPECT?! Last time we had 'ambition' we had a nutter come along. Some people on here are mental.
They also have a very wealthy owner who is prepared to put his hand in his pocket to fund his hobby. Also club with a proud history and a modern ground with a large support base.Beradogs wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2019 10:17 pm I think people are missing the point.
