Re: Ebou Adams

Oh it's tiny.

Can we talk about Ebou Adams?
The Derby County midfielder scored the first and assisted the second against West Brom yesterday to put the Rams above the drop zone with just two games to go.
It's not just those three points that he has played a key part in winning. Adams ranks first in the division for tackles attempted (146), tackles won (95), blocks (71) and fouls (78) - only a handful of players have made more interceptions than his 55. In fact, he has made more tackles than any other player across England's top four tiers. He's an absolute workhorse of a midfielder and his consistent ball-winning in the middle of the park has been a huge asset to this Derby County side. They have a pretty solid defensive record all told - conceding 56 goals in 44 matches and you cannot overstate Adams' influence on that.
It's hard to believe that this is his first season as an established starter at Championship level. Before this term, he had spent the majority of his career at League Two level and had played more football in the National League than he had in the second tier. An unbelievable signing.

Re: Ebou Adams

when they say fouls, is that for or against?

Just the the type of player we need for next season. It’s going to be a battle.

Where are we going to find 16 of them?

The defensive side of the game has been our biggest problem all season. Teams come right through the middle of us every game, no one gets near them never mind make a tackle.

Of course if we can get a good defensive midfielder who also likes to “play” wonderful although I doubt it, next season is going to be more physical than ever in league one and we are far to soft.

Re: Ebou Adams

He spent all his time here, resting, then building himself up in the gym. They owe us big time.

Re: Ebou Adams

I think he would have made a difference for us, our midfield needs more bite and energy.

he was a big part of Derby going up from league one and now a big part of them staying up in the championship.

I guess we thought we'd get more games out of Ralls and Ramsey.
Looks like we got about 1 million for him

We had Siopis and got rid, that was his job.

Siopis has proven, in the championship, to be a poor man's Ebou Adam's. Whichever manager opted to get rid of him dropped the ball.

that's true, siopis is another enigma - played very well against England for Greece, and has gone straight into the first team at Panathinaikos, who only narrowly went out to fiorentina in the Europa conference league.

One of Morison's signings, along with Kipre, Philogene, O'dowda, Rinomhota, Robinson and Alnwick. And yes, he made some really poor ones as well, but the point is , since then apart from possibly Fish, we haven't made 1 single signing that shows the club has the slightest clue about player recruitment.

So you don’t rate Salech ?
