Sam Dalby Joins Watford

[redintheface]

Bit of a shocker!

[gshaw]

Transfer or loan?

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Undisclosed fee, which i assume we will get some of. Cant imagine its a lot though.

Interesting that this comes on the day the Alabi news comes out, but would seem strange that he would pick us over Watford any ways.

[redintheface]

2 year deal.

You think the two are connected?

[Beradogs]

Oh well. We have Alabi.

[Lucky7]

Goes to join another development squad
Surely these youngsters would prefer to be playing first team football even if it was lower league etc

Nice easy pay packet I guess
Shame!!!

2 year deal.

Great move for him going to a Premier League club plus he's closer to home. I wish him good luck. We might also get some extra money as an add on. Hopefullythis means we can bring in one or two more players.

A few different people have said that we were in talks with him (guess this still might be a possibilty but with Watford) to come back, presumably on loan.

Likelihood they aren't connected but may now be out of our budget to pay his wages or some of his wages, if Alabi is staying.

Yes as I heard Watford wanted Alabi but we wouldn't release him so they went for Dalby

[Rambling Man]

Maybe relocation closer to home had something to do with it.

Club was obviously hoping that Dalby would become a first teamer at Leeds and get sold for a decent amount, a bit disappointing this. Since he's only signed for two years, it's going to be 10-20% of not particularly much.

[Disoriented]

Should have stayed here.

[Top of the JES]

Working again with Watford academy manager Richard Thomas who was Youth team manager at the Os when Dalby was starting to come through the ranks.

Exactly this.

Leeds will no doubt have a sell on fee so if Watford sell him, they’ll get the kick back. Gutted.

Wasn’t getting a look in under Davis, doubt that would have changed under Justin.

What about under Ross?

[Bergen]

Wasn`t particularly successful at Morecambe last season. 2 games over a 5 month period.

Let`s hope this a good move for him.

They absolutely are connected, and I had it on very good authority that that was the case (which is why I made the point a few days ago)

Dalby is joining Watford’s development squad, so it’s not quite such a clear cut upgrade on being in Orient’s first team squad. He would deffo have joined us if we could have freed up Alabi’s wage. It’s very unlikely that will happen now.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

FFS Ling!

[tuffers#1]

Should have stayed here.

Should of paid his extra wages shouldnt you then.
If you had he might of stayed.

Somewhere there’s a panpiper leading the gullible O’nuts to meltdown

Not in Dalby sound sadly

Hang on. Leeds wouldn't have sold him if they could have loaned him out, and we were the only club interested in loaning him so they then had no choice but to sell him?
