Signing number 2. Winger from Fulham.

Thought the club had no money?

As RW said on the latest Podcast, undisclosed does not mean we paid a fee. RW said, presumably about this deal, that it was held up on Friday over the weekend over things like appearance and sell on fees.

Scored against us earlier in the season too.

(Although watching those highlights back, it's their 57 that looks like a proper player).

I was wondering if Ollie came to our attention by his performance in this game. Anyway , welcome to Orient Ollie . I would imagine we'll see him at some stage during the game at Reading on Saturday . That's of course if the game last's long enough before it's called off after a barrage of tennis balls .

Our announcement literally says "undisclosed fee". Unless they're being coy about the fee being £0, why would they say that?

Looks like a good prospect. Perhaps a backup, bench player this season but more one for the future.

Versatile attacking midfielder/winger is exactly what we needed. Obviously can't vouch for his quality but in principle it's a signing that makes a lot of sense. Apparently he prefers playing on the left wing so gives us more cover for Theo and Graham, but also means we have a Sanders alternative that isn't a shagged Moncur.

He said there was budget left in his last interview. Doubt this is an expensive signing.

I've just watched Ollie's interview on the clubs website .He was on loan at Derry for five months so I suppose that's where the Ben Doherty rumour originated from at Derry

Because it has the potential to involve a fee? I don't make the rules, just telling you what Ritchie Wellens said to the Outlook Podcast on Sunday.

RW said on Sunday we had a little bit of budget left. This must be it.

These young players are looking younger all the time, or am I just getting older.

Anyways welcome to the Os Ollie and best of luck to you.

I wonder if he'll go straight into the team on Saturday, I think not. I think we won't see that many starts for him this season.

Looking forward to seeing what this kid has to offer.

I've no problem with the principle of picking up Premier League cast offs but once again it calls into question the purpose of our academy. Charlie Pegrum is the only one being talked about from the current crop, he's the same age as this O'Neill and is currently learning the game at differing Division 6 clubs....

Sadly not.

Seeing as we're not bringing anyone else in, can someone sever all communication links at both Brisbane and Portman Roads please.
