I think we also need to thank the owners of the Club for their continued support and investment :)

Yes, 27 isn't many but on the other hand we've had a really good look at him on trial. I'd be asking questions if after all that he turns out to be a dud.
Spot on!

I reckon so, at least until we are back from Portugal. Even so I reckon it will only be one CB.

If we are going to be successful then there will be a few players that get 10-20 games. With 5 subs now allowed Georgiou might be one such player.

After reading his history in that article it's a lot more reassuring than the previous boarder implied . I wish him every success in an Orient shirt .

I'd go with another Centre back , central midfielder and striker . If it's felt Sonny Fish is ready for first team action then forget signing another striker , we'll give Sonny his chance .

Leyton Orient supporters group on Facebook has us linked with Jack Payne. Didn't he play for Crawley last season ?

I misspelt his surname . It's Payne. Just looked on Wikipedia and he played for Swindon .

If we're going to play 2 CBs then no, we don't need a 5th CB.

If we're going to play 1 striker out of Drinnan and Smith then no, we don't need a 3rd striker.

We do however absolutely need a CDM - we cannot start the season with Brown or Coleman in the starting eleven and one of them has to as things stand.

Not so sure where you get the desperate need for a CDM from? We will most likely only play one and thats Pratley, not Colebrown, and he'll probably have Clay next to him with the two lads mentioned as back ups. Regardless, Pratley is our CDM and we have sufficient cover there. Definitely not a position where we are in desperate need.

Georgiou is only 25 (date of birth 24 February 1997) not 27 as quoted on here. Seems to be very much a wide player (either full back or midfield) so wondering where this leaves Sweeney. Perhaps the idea is for him to go out on loan too like Young.

I bet after reading this his agent is looking elsewhere, Gary given him the chop already 😂

Didn't RW say at the end of last season he wants Pratley to play further forward? Not sure how that fits with Moncur's arrival, perhaps Pratley will have to drop back or both will be vying for / covering the same spot?

Personally would like to see an improvement on Clay come in, with one of Colebrown heading out on loan but might be hoping for too much at this point.

I guess that was when we couldn’t dream of an offensive midfielder like Moncur and when we had Hector at CDM.

Of course I don’t know but my guess is Prats will play there with one of the others next to him.
