Happe is more important to this team than both of them
Is that Happe, our 4th choice centre half? Right ho.
4th choice? Orient played 3 at the back ever since he got in the team because he was undroppable. He’s going to be a fantastic player. He’ll be the best player at the club by the end of next season, if he stays.
Be very surprised if he does having seen Bonne and Koroma move on. For the players who put themselves in the shop window last season now is the time to move while their stock is high. If we make a poor start in August and they'll soon be forgotten about.

Yes, 4th choice. Obviously Coulson and Marvin were ahead of him but Justin even rated Widdowson ahead of him.

I really rate Happe, I agree he’s going to be a great player, too good for us, but he’s nowhere near as important to the club as Bonne and Koroma are/were. Especially when you factor in the strength we have in centre halves and the complete lack of alternatives up front.

Except Justin said in an interview “I have not seen a better left sided defender than Dan, the boys got real potential and is doing it now”

Because we’ll have sold Koroma and Ekpiteta by then?

Bringing Happe into the first team was probably the only good thing Steve Davis did.

Didn’t he farm him out on loan somewhere then only play him when he had no other choice because of a centre half injury crisis?

Best of luck Josh. I don't think he'll make an impact next season, but certainly think he'll be championship quality within the next couple of years
