Dan Nkrumah

[OyinbO]

Zero surprises save for the fact that Nkrumah seems to have disappeared

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Forgot Connor wood was still with us!

Only slight surprise is Matt Young, who I think has talent and a future but maybe just not good enough for league one right now. Fair enough.

The contracted players looks like slim pickings so the contract offers are massively important

[spen666]

wasn't Sam Sargeant released once before and ended up getting a new deal?

[RedDwarf 1881]

I’d like to thank Craig Clay for all he’s done for the club . I think he’s been an excellent signing for us over these past 6 years . Leaves us with two league winners medals which you can’t say that about many Orient players. Thank You Craig and good luck for the future.

[Real Al]

Who is Ethan Light?

presumably one of the youngsters, but I don't remember hearing his name before.

I can see Connor Wood signing for Colchester on a permanent basis. Also I think Craig Clay and Matt Young should be able to find another club without too much trouble.

Yeh looks like wood is a defo signing for Colchester Ross has put in a good word for him

[faith1234]

I think that Harry smith is going Barnet

[RedDwarf 1881]

Who is Ethan Light?

presumably one of the youngsters, but I don't remember hearing his name before.

He’s a young player we signed from non league. I’ve never seen him play so I have no idea how good he is .

[OyinbO]

Maybe still under contract

Not under that list though...

[RedDwarf 1881]

I think that Harry smith is going Barnet

I still feel Harry could end up at Gillingham . Anyway I would be surprised if he doesn’t find himself back in the EFL somewhere

[faith1234]

Looks like one for the future very tall centre back will he get a look in it depends on how he grows in his development

[faith1234]

Ethan light

He's now on the list.

Dan appears below Vigs on the orient web. There is an extra empty row

[Harlow]

Ethan Light was signed from Burnham or nearrby in essex in Jan.

Shame we never got to see Sonny Fish

[The Reverend]

We can just about field a starting XI with the under contract list (providing some has a go in goal). Going to be a busy summer for Lingy and the Starbucks baristas!

Under Contract For Next Season

Theo Archibald
Aaron Drinan
Rob Hunt
Tom James
Ethan Light
George Moncur
Zech Obiero
Shadrach Ogie
Ruel Sotiriou
Jephte Tanga
Adam Thompson

[LittleMate]

Seven first team regulars offered a deal. Last season five got offered and all five signed. I wonder what a good number for this year would be.A great number would be 7, but 5 would be good?

We are no diferent to just about any other club in that regard.

[leebmx]

Realistic and unsurprising. Key is the new contracts offered being accepted.
Would like to say thanks to Craig Clay for his time here. Always gave 100% and not many Os players with two championship medals.

[EastDerehamO]

Would hope that most of those offered contracts – League One contracts now – would sign up, but who knows what other offers they may have.

Echo the sentiments on Craig Clay, top guy, great servant, wish him well. Same goes for Sarge come to that, always a decent number two, hope he’ll find a number one spot somewhere.

[leebmx]

For me the contracts break down in importance like this:

Vigs
Smyth
Happe
Omar

Brown
Sweens
Prats
(To be honest the two youngsters in this group could be v important in the medium term)

The rest.

As with all these things I expect their likely hood to sign is in reverse order to importance, but I’m hopeful there’s only one who doesn’t sign.

[Proposition Joe]

Maybe still under contract

Not under that list though...

He's now on the list.

Did they miss him off originally? Way to make him feel valued.
