Always a chance. he would flourish under Wellens. Try and cheer up a bit Monkey.
What you talking about,there’s no chance because he’s Championship bound ?? Weird
He is at Southampton in the under 21s played for them at the weekend so how is he championship bound? as you know he was at Reading last season and they are likely to send him out to a L1 club again this season after his injury, You really have a chip on your shoulder Monkey Boy you need to chill out a bit.
I don’t need lessons from you I know what you’re trying to do so I would try again if I were you and try to diss someone else on here. Thanks.

I wasn't dissing you, it was more the other way around but I will leave you to get on with your strange ramblings.

As an older fan, what? Agyei is physical enough for me.

Guessing he means that the olds on here don’t see him as a physical player because he’s not 6”2, elbowing defenders and winning every header. He’s physical in a different way, in an effective way for the modern game

An athletic way. Certainly wouldn't be a physical old school number 9 or 10

But he isn't the archetypal physical forward. Wellens has got rid of them. He wants players who are full of athleticisim. You know that but still want to make some kind of point

The only point I want to make is that Dan is physical and has the physical presence required to lead the line on his own, something none of our other strikers have.

Ask any defender who went up against Agyei last season if he’s physical or not. I know what their answer will be.

He didn't play against half the league because he wasn't physically strong enough to stay fit

There is no “leading the line” the manager tells the team how he wants them to play, even the captain cannot change the way the team plays, he’s only there to encourage them and as a focal point for the officials.

Because he picked up an injury in a pre season friendly. I thought that was common knowledge (although the exact nature of the injury was kept quiet for some reason).

Are you an Orient fan or one of these chaps that just come on here for a row?

At last you agree, 2 injuries kept him out for 26 games, where he wasn't physically able " to lead the line". Physical strength includes the ability to stay fit for a season. If Agyei only had Ruels robustness
