Re: George Moncur......
Fans of both Swindon and Colchester are praying they they can sign George. (According to a search on Twitter today)

Re: George Moncur......
There is an impression by some that George is past his prime. Whilst I don't necessarily disagree, George is a talented footballer and is still only 30 years old, not 35+ as I assumed. There is no reason with the right commitment that George couldn't perform at League 1 level or even better. Whether that commitment materialises at Orient or elsewhere remains to be seen. We all know he is a matchwinner on his day, and an unaffordable luxury on others.

IMO well skill wise he is perhaps a championship level player, but fitness wise needs to improve a lot if he is to play regularly for the Os in Division One.Chelmsford Swimmer wrote: ↑Fri Jul 26, 2024 10:02 am There is an impression by some that George is past his prime.

His attitude must be crap though.

The former a gift from his "God"- the latter all his own (lack of) work.
