Yeah saw that , knew there must be a reason for not being established here .aylesburyos wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 1:08 pmHe is already a full international. Has played in Cyprus & returned to UK
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 .aylesburyos wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 11:47 am https://superhotspur.com/2021/01/21/far ... -georgiou/
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 .Loyal_Supporter wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 1:37 pmI reckon so, at least until we are back from Portugal. Even so I reckon it will only be one CB.
He'll point us in the right direction, NO!!RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 3:06 pm Leyton Orient supporters group on Facebook has us linked with Jack Paine. Didn't he play for Crawley last season ?
I misspelt his surname . It's Payne. Just looked on Wikipedia and he played for Swindon .banqo wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 3:10 pmHe'll point us in the right direction, NO!!RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 3:06 pm Leyton Orient supporters group on Facebook has us linked with Jack Paine.

If we're going to play 2 CBs then no, we don't need a 5th CB.RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 2:54 pmI'd go with another Centre back , central midfielder and striker .

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.Gary the Plumber wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 3:20 pmIf we're going to play 2 CBs then no, we don't need a 5th CB.RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 2:54 pmI'd go with another Centre back , central midfielder and striker .

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.
I bet after reading this his agent is looking elsewhere, Gary given him the chop alreadyGary the Plumber wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 9:53 am He's been here on trial for ever and still only been offered a 1 year contract - I don't expect him to feature much, and don't expect him to be here next season when we reach the promised land of Division 3.
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?Paddy wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 3:24 pmNot so sure where you get the desperate need for a CDM from?

I guess that was when we couldn’t dream of an offensive midfielder like Moncur and when we had Hector at CDM.gshaw wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 7:10 pmDidn't RW say at the end of last season he wants Pratley to play further forward?

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.
Have you forgotten about Ruel?Gary the Plumber wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 3:20 pmIf we're going to play 2 CBs then no, we don't need a 5th CB.RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 2:54 pmI'd go with another Centre back , central midfielder and striker .
