However, we don't know if the club tried to get him again, if we didn't then that's an error on Lings side of things, or JE might not have wanted him back. Shame really as we all knew we had a player on our hands who we needed then and still need today.

I for one will not be abusing him as it's futile and can actually backfire as the player becomes even more determined to play well.

Funny we where promoted as champions without Adams

Thor wrote: ↑Sat Nov 09, 2019 3:22 pm Absolutely, I just believe that our team would have been better then with him in it as it still would be today.

I agree. Edou made what he thought was the right decision at the time . With the benefit of hindsight he might see it now that he made the wrong decision but that's life. I still regret we weren't able to sign him though because he's a good player . Just to add, what's the betting he scores against us .

He's won over me,probably because we are so crap in midfield.

So in retrospect I cannot see how we can be disappointed he didn’t join. Winning the championship is a good as it gets.

Of course.

But this season ain’t looking too clever, is it. Would be nice to have him here right now, not just last season.

Once Adams found his feet with us, match after match he got high ratings and more than played his part in helping to get us away from near the foot of the table where we were when he first joined us. All a lot of nonsense in trying to put the young mans ability down. JE played him in a position that suited him and got the best out of him and that is the truth of the matter. From all accounts, Martin Ling gave him a take it or leave it deadline to sign for us and for some unknown reason ( perhaps ill advised by his agent ? ) it did not happen. Lastly we have STILL not filled the holding midfield position with as a good a player as Adams was in his time with us. Lastly, I think it very childish and unsporting to boo ex players because they moved on to other clubs.
