Interesting, basically due to the recent improvements to first time loans, ie Perkins & Donley, only looking to bring two or three players in
One winger, possibly two
Think we need another forward & midfielder

Hope I’m wrong but I’ll be surprised if we get 3 players in January.

We need a striker and two wingers, will probably end up being more youth loans.

Be equally interesting to see if we manage to keep hold of Galbraith and Agyei

Wellens has clearly had orders from the top to set low expectations about January. We desperately need some investors who are actually willing to spend. Grateful for everything the current owners have done but clearly they have run out of interest and/or cash. Going to be very hard justifying season ticket price increases again if they consistent bring in freebies and loanees kids every transfer window.

Def 2 wingers coming in and 100% needed and a Striker!
O’Neil & Perkins need competition.
O’Neil as we know is good enough, but needs competition on left.
On right we need a winger who will be a first 11 starter, and then have Perkins as sub.
We need Dan Agyei down the middle and Kelman + Loan as competition.

Hopefully Currie & Keeley 💯 stay for season
Gailbraith & Agyei are not sold

On today's showing I completely agree .He was anonymous today and was rightly hooked in the second half .

Think you can have as many as you want. There is just a limit on the match day squad

I totally agree . I'd rather Galbraith and Agyei walked away for nothing in the Summer rather than run the risk of getting relegated. If we still end up getting relegated then at least we did all we could to avoid it .

We have an option on Galbraith for 25/26, so he can’t walk for nothing in the summer

Re number of loans, we are trying to sign Keeley, odds on Hemming returns to ‘Boro, that will mean we have 4 loans, space for one or two more, although obviously can only have 5 in the match day squad.

It's difficult to bring in really decent players in January, because no team is going to let their best players go, unless they are offered silly money for them.
A few loans till the end of the season will suffice, provided they are good.
Maybe a championship striker in his early 30s, who's not getting regular football, who could score 8 or 9 goals till the end of the season.
We need a winger, a striker, and a number 10, minimum.
I would send Perkins, Donley & Hemming back to their respective clubs.
I hope we have targets in mind now, and we sort it early in the window, but knowing the way Orient work, we won't bring anyone in until around the 26th January

And that will probably be 18 or 19 year old academy players as per last season.

Their left back was bit of a beast, even Agyei struggled to get past him.

They are going nowhere. Galbraith has 18 ,months left (we will resign 12 months option), Dan A unless 500k fee will see him kept

Can you point me in the direction of a single comment where I’ve said that I think we will be impressed with the January transfer activity….

Indeed . We waited until the last minute last January then brought in two kids on loan . This time we must move much faster to get the players we want . Waiting until the end of the transfer window to save on wages isn’t working
