We reckon ,based on the description you all give, that we must have signed his twin brother as we never saw any of the attributes you give him Image. 3 goals in 35 games tells the story (& 1 of those was a penalty). Admittedly he rarely played 90 minutes but we were all glad he won't be playing for us again.

Not sure how you used him obvs, but for us last season he was great to bring off the bench & either slow the game down when we were winning or a target to hold the ball up and do all the underappreciated dirty work. It probably wasn't ideal for him as he left but we definitely have missed having him as we didn't replace.
and you may ask yourself, well....how did I get here?

Hear Hear - different sort of player, but Max was starting to really impact games with his introduction.

Maybe we will see both him and Kwame up top in the latter stages of games.

Got a feeling Mullins might have to leave Shots if he wants to play regular first team football

Possibly, which would be a shame - I think he has something he can offer us next season.

Tommys quote about Kwame though..."He's here until the end of the season, at least" felt telling though.

Id keep both and release Ghandour honestly

Well we don't need him to score (Barrett and Henry do that) or to run (Barham does that) so it should be a good fit!

But Silas, there are games where Josh and James are shackled by the opposition and fail to fire, and Jack runs himself into the ground without scoring, and then we need options and something extra. Maxi has been a great option late on this season and Kwame was last season.

OK, I understand that Ebbsfleet have not seen from Kwame what we got from him last season. But this happens. Some players fit into some clubs, but not others. Styles of play suit some players but not others. It's a matter of knowing strengths and weaknesses and setting up teams accordingly.

Happy days,get behind Tommy.

Exactly that, we all know Kwame isn’t a 90 minute player, but he can cause some damage even in short spells. It was a surprise signing but isn’t one I am wandering, Why ? 🤷‍♂️
:D In my humble opinion..Just saying
