The thing is with young vic adeboyejo is that his coach Daniel stendel is known for developing young talents and Barnsley’s new owners wanted them to bring youth in. Big reason why he took his chance and got rewarded with a new deal. Abrahams didn’t feature once for Norwich and will drop to non league presumably. Let’s hope josh doesn’t get this.

He’ll go and sit in there U23s this year, maybe get a loan to a L1 or L2 club next year, then get released.

He’ll be a few quid better off though.

I started listening to the interview, made it as far as Josh saying it’s been a long time coming and he’s signed because of their amazing fans, then had to stop.

Was listening to him say at the Villa game there was no way he could play U23 football then he goes and does this. Why?£?£? Does he honestly think he’s going to get a look in with their first team?

We needed 2 strikers as it was. Selling both Bonne and Koroma means we need 4, so just the 3 to bring in next week.
He isn't good enough to cry over his leaving. He was a bit of a twinkle toes who flattered to deceive. I can say that now that he's betrayed us. Good luck lad.

We'll sign two, assuming Alabi goes. Simpson was signed to cover Koroma. We were carrying an extra striker at the end of the season.

Wilkinson, Harrold, Sotiriou and two others will be lut strike force.

As for finance, we will have fees for the players and in addition the club was refinanced earlier in the summer so wages etc are not going to be an issue.

I assumed it means the club take on new loans at a lower interest rate

There's lots of talk of Abraham's, alzate and Dalby not getting any game time no mention of adeboyajo and obafemi who have though. I don't expect him to make an instant impact but the year after I think he'll be playing regularly in the championship

I mentioned Adeboyajo and so did someone else, so he has been mentioned.

Obafemi was younger when he left and jury still out due to injury but looks like he has a good career ahead of him.

Money.
You think Orient should have tried to match Championship Huddersfield's offer?
That wasn’t the original question Snowflake.

Explain what you meant by money then. Hard to be sure when you respond with such an incisive argument

There is zero evidence of money being taken out of the club by the owners or as you seem to suggest Kent. There is absolute proof that they are putting cash in to the club to cover the on going losses.

I am sad that we’ve lost two of our best players, but that’s life. If Man Utd can lose Ronaldo then it’s ok for us to lose our players.

I suspect the owners determination to get out of league ASAP has not changed. I also suspect that the players attitude to winning has not changed. We are in a dark period right now, but soon the clouds will lift and I hope we can get back to normal.

Long season ahead if thats all we bring in. Harrold is only good for 20 mins of aeriel bombardment and Sotiriou hasnt even played at NL level let alone L2.

I wasn’t aware that that was a requirement for every response. If so, you clearly missed that too.

So what would you have done to try and keep these players?

Not really. Having 6 strikers would be overkill.

Which makes retaining Harrold look a bad move now imo. With Bonne and Koroma here we could afford the luxury of a 20-minute player as a last resort. If he's now being seen as a main option that's a different story.

Sotiriou hasn't even started a game at NL level so relying on him as a viable option is also stretching it.

Relax. We're obviously not going to go into the season with just these striking options.

We'll see, I've got a funny feeling Alabi will be brought back into the fold to cover one of these gaps. Something along the lines of "he's trained really well over pre-season, it's just like having a new signing"
