More meat on the bone with the tweet from the BBC Stoke guy but yes I give you credit for providing the rumour correctly 👌

When we’re on the verge of signing somebody I always like to know what other boarders think . So do you think he’d be a good signing ? What position does he play in defence ?

Can’t say I know him but if he’s been playing regularly in L1 then he should be decent.

The fact that he's from Leytonstone might work in our favour .

Saw him play for Shrewsbury the season before last. Looked very impressive in League 1 so this is a very decent signing.

I remember watching thinking what a gulf in class it was between Coulson (who was our CB at the time) and a league 1 starter such a Beckles.

We seem to be heading in the right direction. Him and Thompson a decent pairing.

Yep, can't argue with that signing, although I'm sure some will.

Decent signing on paper.

Language used from Kenny for both signings points towards us not having particularly pretty football to look forward to next year, but a bit of realism from the manager as to what it takes to get out of the division.

Gshaw will be pleased!

Excellent signing, could easily have stayed in league one had he wanted and will be a top partner for either Thompson or Happe if he stays

At last an O's manager who listens to the wise words of Maximillian Bronstein Gold or Max for short.
