I doubt we'll see much of him but Spurs are obviously pleased the way we have handled George Marsh he won't be costing us anything but it builds the relationship with Spurs and we may end up getting some much better talent next season if he comes in and plays a few games toward the end of the season. I think his manager at Spurs is Wayne Burnett which also helps us.

Strategic?

Couldn't be anything else really though could it, I believe they offered him to us rather than we went hunting him, we don't need another forward specially an injured one but it's costing us nothing.

The big announcement ended up a damp squib, unbelievable it can only happen at our club !

The one area we are not short is up front. So we sign a forward. Who is injured. And won't be match fit for the foreseeable future. So he can't play anyway.

But we might be doing it as a favour for Spurs, in the hope that they may throw some tastier morsels in our direction in the future - presumably on the proviso we are still a league club. And to guarantee that we need some decent, fit signings now...so we sign an injured forward

"The deal allows us to develop a relationship and potentially further a relationship with Tottenham in terms of the recruitment of their players.

First and foremost, we’re getting a really good player. Secondly, a really good lad who understands Leyton Orient.

Finally, it allows us to build a really strong relationship with one of the biggest clubs in the county, if not the world and it’s right on our doorstep! They’re always going to have players that we’d be very keen to bring in and aid their development; as we are with George Marsh and now Kazaiah.”

Think we're overplaying the link to Spurs there.

As for signing a forward...nothing wrong with more firepower to boost our options if it's not at the expense of other positions. It's a roll of the dice that the wait for him is worth it - we'll have to see.

Indeed, we'll have to see. But would have preferred an addition to middle or defence (or both).

Nobody is doubting this lad talent it’s just the fact that he’s injured . We needed players now in who can help us get away from relegation trouble

gshaw wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 7:53 pm It's the kind of signing that'd pass without much event if we were mid-table, easily dressed up as planning for next season as per SF's post. However in the current situation it shows the complacency the board has in us staying up by default.

Injured or not, this only makes sense if someone is in their way out.

Even then, with him being injured all season it doesn’t make much sense
