Pleased with this. Couple of young lads on loan to give us options up top. They could turn out to be magic. And even if they are duds it doesn’t really matter, we won’t have wasted money on them.

Sensible transfer activity, especially with Drinan getting offloaded.

Wellens is planning a rebuild and phase one of clearing out the deadwood. Expect to see Moncur and a couple of others go in the summer and if the replacements are done well we could in for a play-off run.

Look forward to seeing what these boys have got - if one of them works out, that’ll do me.

Credit to the club, left it late as ever but a couple of days decent work done.

Means we'll have enough players to see us through to the end of season in attack I guess. Not thrilling to have this many temporary players here but it's a consolidation season so gives us the flexibility to rebuild properly in the summer.

Surprised we haven't replaced Turns.

If one of these two are half as good as Kevin Campbell that's great!

I think Carl Fletcher is the loans manager at AFC Bournemouth.

Could you imagine if Dan Agyei's middle name just happens to be Adu? 😄

We have Happe , Beckles and Cooper for the CB positions. Somebody on here was saying we could also use Brown or Prately there as emergency cover . I think we're OK there .

I call that a very good Transfer window 👏👏👏

Fantastic news, 2 new young forwards, who def know where the net is, signed on loan for the season, means with O’Neil we have options for all forward positions.

Cooper signed on a perm deal, sad turns has left, but we can cover if needed.

And Drinan has been off loaded to Swindon, who paid a fee for him 🤣🤣🤣

But best news, once confirmed, will be when we 💯 know, El Miz is going nowhere, and will be an Orient player for rest of the season.

Well done Lingy 💪🏻

Can’t wait for Sat, let’s hope we see our new boys in action on Sat.

I'm really pleased with the clubs transfer business but I was wondering who was that senior striker we missed out on that Lingy mentioned .?

Imagine if one of these boys does what Kevin Campbell did for us back in 88/89.
And who remembers the famous song we got in our Orienteer program…
🎶Leyton Orient scored more goals than any other 4th division team in 88/89🎶

Just guessing is course, but I have a feeling it was McKirdy

We were interested in him last summer, and think the club still were.
Nothing concrete, just a feeling. We'll never know for sure

The guy has an attitude problem & behaves like a petulant child on social media. Was a complete flop at Hibs as well.

As you say, we’ll never know but I really couldn’t see him working with Wellens.

No idea about either of these boys but that's a bold claim.

Remember, Shaq took a good 3-4 months training with the squad to get first team ready.

Be interesting to see if Pigott makes the match day squad.
Can’t see it with the two new forwards.
We will need to shift Pigott on at end of season, been a dead loss.

Can't see Piggot dropping out for two untried kids who haven't even trained with the squad as yet.

We’ve only got three months of the season left so can’t see they are going to muck about with these two, I expect them both to feature very soon, otherwise it’s pointless and will make it harder to get further loans from Arsenal & Bournemouth.
