He’s a right back was under the impression we needed a left back or left wing back

'He is a very versatile player who can play at full-back, in midfield or at centre-back' says Ling

Yes but predominantly a right back we need a specialised left back

That says it all but at least we signed someone,unfortunately not one of many free players that were available

[gshaw]

It says he's tall and quick so that's promising perhaps?

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Sounds like a very good replacement for Hunt. Although paying fees for a back up right back is interesting consider the pressing needs elsewhere

To be fair, there’s more negative tweets along with other tweets praising him.

Lets see how he does in an Os shirt before we write him off.

I reckon he’ll be first choice, with Tom James shifting to left back.

[The Reverend]

An experienced pro with a decent amount of games are League 1 level. Exactly the kind of singing we should be making so fair play on this one.

Now, we need a goalie and a striker.

[PKM]

Should fit in well, ten yellows last season

[Mistadobalina]

Needed a Hunt like player who can cover both full back positions, but would be a bit underwhelmed if he's going into the first team, based on him not being deemed good enough by two clubs who finished below us last season.

Wigan would have finished above us in 9th were it not for their points deduction...

agree, let’s give him a chance before the ink is dry on the contract.
Welcome Sean Clare to Leyton Orient

Rated by Charlton. Mixed reviews from Wigan. Back in London where his family are - let’s not write him off just yet.

Wellens has no faith in James, was obvious he was looking for a first choice right back

Why didn’t we keep Hunt if he’s no better? However let’s give him a chance but would have preferred to have signed a specialised left back with pace.

I think we'll still sign a first choice left back

My Charlton supporting mate who I asked about the DJ who gave a very glowing review of "he's crap" said about Clare:

Christ. You're getting relegated. If he plays right back, every left back and left winger will skin him. He's pony bless him. At Old Trafford every player did a job, and he was the only one who let us down. He was a makeshift CM shifted to RB, but was a striker at Hearts. He's a horrible watch. Good luck.

So I'm positively optimistic now.

That’s why he signed a new 2 year contract because Wellens don’t rate him

Well as to what supporters say, hmm well typical is the comments about our last seasons top scorer Ruel, described by a lot of people on this forum as a complete liability, rubbish etc and they are so pleased he has gone, well we shall see what happens !
Leyton Orient have given this new player a three year contract, something only given to Moncur, so perhaps they know something that supporters dont know, ever that or the club is a poor judge of players ability ?
Time will tell !

Lot of people on here saying that we now need a keeper and a attacker/ forward I think that we ha e enough up front players

[Monkey Boy]

I would respectfully disagree with that, we have players who can play up front but no quality and if anyone thinks Kelman will have an impact are sadly mistaken imo

Can’t wait to see him supporters of teams are no mugs, they know, look how many Ipswich supporters warned us about Lester
