Who are you discounting?

Lets not forget there is a transfer committee. Travis/Teague have also agreed to this signing.

so the committee sit down with a wealth of football knowledge and say - I know why dont we loan an injured forward from spurs till the end of the season

Hold on hold on does he know Ross - yep he signed him when he was 8. What Ross was 8 , no silly donut the player was 8 - gavel down that will do for us

Lets say that it was building relationships with a premier league team

okay next on the agenda - are we having dohnuts at the next game

cant make it up

This will be ignored though because it's not fair that we didn't want Kemp and he chose to sign for Stevenage and not us. Other teams signing players that teams don't want is unbelievable and only happens to us!

Smeghead would be funny if it wasn't coming from a guy who, you know, has a name based on something smeggy on his head. Not suprising that you don't think things through.

I'd gone with Angol, Harrold, Sotiriou and Wilkinson. Not counting Dennis as he can't shoot. Did I miss anyone off?

How can this even be described as a “signing”?

We’ve taken a player in loan who is injured and will be remaining with his parent club for the foreseeable future.

Utterly pointless.

Yeah! Danny Johnson.

It's a signing as in he is registered to us and will be fit to play for us at some point this season. Bit pointless that they took the trouble of photographing him in the kit when he's injured and staying at Spurs for now.

Doh!

I’m a bit late to all this as I’ve been mad busy all day, and I’m now in the pub, and I’m actually laughing at the utter f*cking nonsense we’re being asked to put up with.

Very bizarre. What happened to the defender who was signing ? He turned us down as well ?
Never known us to struggle so much to sign players as this .

When did the club say we were signing a defender? If they did hopefully a left back will still be coming in.

My theory. We were going to sign Dan Kemp, but for reasons unknown Stevenage got in before us.
Now, after promising a signing from a top tier club, Ling has gone into panic mode. Probably been ringing around all day long. Found Sterling, and when told he was injured, said, " thats ok, Im known for signing injured players.....we'll have him"

Your theory has already been debunked earlier in the Dan Kemp thread.

Vigouroux in - Needed a better keeper is the general view.
Johnson in - Replaces Alabi and hopefully stakes a strong claim for the No 9 job.
Cisse in - Class act already despite not playing this season. A big win for LOFC.
Sterling in - Big future, not paying him, will push Dennis/Dayton/Wright. A bit risky but free.

As a lower league two club, this has been better than anyone thought we'd do.... except for the idiots and self flagellating pessimist types.

See how I'm getting used to this place again.

On paper, yeah a decent window. Would also have liked a left back to cover an area of need and upgrade a weak area for us.

Think this is fair enough but still don’t dig the idea of signing a player who has been injured for such a long period.

We might as well taken Harry Kane on loan for the next 2months. This is a get out for the club to say they have taken a great prospect on loan . Cannot fool the supporters In believing in this deal as the forum shows

What did the club need to "get out" of? Surely it would have been easier/less criticism to just not sign him or anyone else if it was pointless?

What is the point of signing a loan player who is injured and may well not play at all this season, ? Surely the whole point of signing loan players is to get players in who can make an impact now or in the immediate future ?

Agreed - all improvements. Sterling seems to be highly rated so let’s see how long he is out for before everyone gets their knickers in a twist. We’ve just signed Johnson who looks like he could be half decent at this level so have a few options now with Ruel also playing well. If he does well when he features, he may be a prospect for next year.

Could have done with a full back to cover injuries in the second half of the season and some bite and drive in what is a pretty pedestrian midfield but the squad as is should see us through safely until the summer when I expect some further improvements.

Note to those fuming that we’re not going to win the Champions League this year...we’re League 2 Leyton Orient who’ve just been promoted from non league.
