USL star, and former Orient loanee, Kazaiah Sterling is (allegedly) back in England training with an EFL League One side. He has scored 30 goals in 48 games for South Georgia Tormenta.

As far as I can remember wasn't he originally at Spurs ? If he is back in this country It could be us he's training with .

Are we the only L1 club yet to do anything this window?

Was with us as a youngster wasn’t he and Spurs came in for him, think he might have been a winger initially. If signing players purely on how they did for Orient on Football Manager was a thing I’d have him in a heartbeat

We signed Sterling in Jan. 20, but he was injured and didn`t play any games for us.

Both the Oxford United and Charlton Athletic have submitted bids of about £400,000 for Will Goodwin (Cheltenham), who has scored six goals in League One games this season. Charlton fans are not happy with Andy Scott (technical director) because of The Jonson Clarke-Harris saga, and The Addicks have now been rejected by Goodwin who apparently prefers a move to Oxford.

Wonder if Stevenage have had an offer for Jamie Reid???

Steve Evans has quashed transfer rumours surrounding striker Jamie Reid. He said “- In the words of Neil Warnock, 10 strikers is not enough and we’ve only got six so we’ll go as we are.”

Derby County have agreed to sign Charlton Athletic star Corey Blackett-Taylor. Their last bid for the player was reportedly around £250,000 which the club rejected, but with Blackett-Taylor out of contract in the summer, Charlton have now decided to cash in on the winger.

Losing Corey Blackett-Taylor to Derby is going to be a massive miss for Charlton . I thought he was Charlton's best player against us in both the home and away games .

That Dobson is clearly Charltons best player.

And;

Carlisle United have signed five players in January, but Owen Moxon (26) has rejected the chance to sign a new deal with The Blues.The midfielder will instead allow his current deal to run down and look at his options in the summer. Moxon has 3 goals and 3 assists so far this season.

Stephen Duke-McKenna has joined Sutton United on loan until the end of the season. Duke-McKenna has played six games for QPR this season, but he has not featured since 7th October.

Portsmouth are interested in Carlisle United's Owen Moxon, but it remains to be seen whether a deal will be done before the transfer deadline. CUFC manager Paul Simpson is determined to bring in another centre-forward with strong "physical" capabilities. Could it be our Aaron?????

It’s a possibility . Richie said he’d like to bring in one more forward . Charlie Kelman ?

Could be Kelman, fits the bill, he’s currently injured!

We've coped without Drinan, not worth replacing unless it'd improve us for next season.

This is the danger though. We're flogging all of Shaq, Agyei and Theo to death. At least Theo looks like the pressure is off with O'Neill in the building but the others desperately need a breather too. Especially with our February schedule.

An improvement on Drinan can’t be that hard to find. A Sunday morning up Hackney Marshes should do the job.

You say that Rev but I would sooner keep him than Pigott. At least Drinan can hold the ball up and win it in the air . So far I’ve seen nothing from Pigott to make me think he’s a useful number 9. I’ve watched Pigott closely and One good through ball now and again isn’t good enough I’m afraid. Look at the difference in the team with Agyei up top .

Plenty of players competing for three spots. Throw in a youngster or Howlers if need be.

Don’t think much of both, but Pigott isn’t a number 9 maybe a false 9 at a push, Drinan couldn’t dribble down his chin and Ruel can’t play up front by himself. All three don’t suit Wellens formations imo. If people think bringing Kelman back he’s not the answer.

Brilliant.

It's pretty obvious we need one more forward player in to make up for losing Drinnnan and Graham to injury and Moncur to the bulge.

Al-Hamadi Wimbledon to Ipswich. Missed out there.

Archibald
O'Neil
Sotiriou
Piggot
Forde
Agyei
Moncur

Seven players for 3 spots.

It's 4 spots.

Moncur and Piggot ain't starting, cameo sub appearances at best.

Sanders can play the 10 role, when fit, so arguably 6 players for 4 spots. We need one more.
