Galbraith Offer being considered

[RedDwarf 1881]

We have to say no, he’s not for sale . We’ve only just got him , we need to build not act like a second hand car dealer . Losing El Miz is bad enough but if we let Galbraith go as well , we will be like a car without an engine . We can’t stop clubs coming in, but we need to be robust and not little Leyton Orient . Remind Huddersfield
That they are in the same league so clear off !

Without both Galbraith and El-Miz in our midfield this season I think we could well end up being relegated . Richie has already said this season is going to be considerably tougher than last season . Currently we're already weaker than last season so how much weaker are we going to end up ?

Doesnt really even have a position nailed down here, we should accept 100k

You're joking . He's one of our best players and who do you think we will end up with as a replacement because I wouldn't be very optimistic .

[Long slender neck]

We've still got Moncur and Sanders.

[Stan1972]

The Q is what would £500k give us in terms of budget for the season?

Would RW be given all of the money to reinvest and go out a buy a direct replacement? Same or if not better level player as Gailbraith?

Would RW be given all of the money to reinvest and spend to improve squad? I.e bring in 2 or 3 players?

Would RW only receive a % of the money to reinvest and spend on the squad?

Personally I hope the bid is rejected, as Galbraith will be a massive player for us this year, especially if El Miz is not returning.

I know you said that tongue in cheek but Moncur can't last 90 mins and Sanders is a sick note .

If we took £500K, we could put a cheeky £400k bid for Idris

I’m hearing talks are in at an advanced stage for the owners of this board to pay up Mightynewsman’s contract so he can be released and join MungOs board on a free

Every player has his price especially at this club,personally I think Galbraith is a quality player and they don’t come around that often, I don’t think 1m would be out of the question or even higher but comparing El Miz is rubbish there both different types of player. You won’t get goals from Miz, and at the end of the day that’s what win you matches. I agree with the person who said Peterborough wouldn’t let him go for500 k. Unfortunately this club would.

Then you have to wonder if we deserve to stay in League 1 . If we end up getting relegated the club would only have themselves to blame .

We had a second hand Forde last year which worked out well .Morris was ok when he was here and Sotiriou is now a Rover

I agree Red but if you like me have followed the club for many years then you will know how the club operates. It’s always been the same. If this rumour is true??? Then the question must be asked why did Wellens sign a new 3 year contract knowing all his “young exciting team” is being pulled up from under him.

With this investment group, there’s no way that whole fee would be reinvested in the squad. Be lucky to have a quarter of it reinvested.

Don’t often agree with you but I do on this. If they now buy younger players for sell on purposes then why would they spend all of the proceeds on more players. At this stage I’m wondering weather I was right in renewing my ST.

[one o in huntingdon]

We have always been a selling club and likely always will be.
Earliest examples I remember are Dennis Rofe and Tommy Taylor, lost count of those since.
One that really pissed me off was Paul Beesley, so obviously bought to sell on at the first opportunity.
Bit like those chancers that go round charity shops checking out everything to flog on Ebay for a profit

[LittleMate]

Peterborough wouldn't sell their good players for less than a million and neither should we. Don't believe this rumour (maybe in January though) but it's high time Orient started getting proper fees for their players not letting them go on the cheap.

This is basically what Nigel has talked about. Signing young promising players from bigger clubs and then selling them on.

It might sting to see a promising player like Galbraith leave but if there’s any substance to this, 500k is massive amount for us and he’s replaceable. The same thing will happen with O’Neill next year.

Is £500k massive for a L1 player sale? Look at the numbers Peterborough were talking about for Kyprianou and this figure seems far too cheap in comparison.

The Peterborough model is a good one but only if you get big fees for the assets to fund the next batch you want to bring in and keep the squad ticking over in the meantime.

I fully expect us to sell this year but the fees need to be way better than what we usually get.

£500k is a massive amount L1 to L1. Shows how money is filtering down the system. This assumes there is an offer and looking at other dealings that Alfie May is £750k. BTW May is from up north so there's a bit of sense to the move for hiim.

[Orient Punxx]

£0.5m hardly a massive amount. Would be very disappointed if we’re trying to make a ‘turn’ at that kind of level. Offer him a revised contract. Probably our most exciting player going into this season.

[Currywurst and Chips]

The max two year deal curse strikes again

[gshaw]

I wouldn't worry yet people, I reckon this rumour has about as much legs as the rubbish you get from TC9 and EFL_Hub

Indeed, we had small fleet of Coopers, also lets not forget Kevin Austin.
I hope Sonny Perkins has a good engine

[Rich Tea Wellin]

People have lost their minds if they think 500k for Orient isn’t a very decent amount.

We’re talking about a player who has had a season in league two and was decent for just over half a season in league one. It’s natural to overvalue your own assets.

If orient bought a player for half a mil with the same cv you’d think king had gone mad

£500 k for a 20 year old current international…..nah. Good job your not on the board
