Charlie Kirk and Dane Scarlett (loan)

Dane Scarlett would be nice!

I think he is at Ipswich

Glaringly in need of a striker to at least be in with a sniff when a ball is put in and not waste chances made. Why Galbraith was substituted was a mystery, thought he was one of the best on the pitch.

Kirk and Scarlett? Captain material. Sensible.

He has been recalled by Spurs as they are to lose Son for a month in the African cup. Very doubtful he will sign for Orient. Ipswich wanted to keep him.

Is Son African?

Kirk is an interesting one. Recently released by Charlton so no transfer fee. Hardly a goal machine and not exactly proven at league 1 level. Can see him looking to head back north as it hasn’t worked out in London for him.

Exactly . I didn't know South Korea was in Africa. I don't know but maybe it's possible Spurs have recalled Scarlett because he wasn't playing . At Orient I'd imagine he'd be in the team every game .

South Korea has now been moved to Africa

He probably meant the Asian cup

Anyone know if Harry McKirdy is fit again after his heart surgery? Not much of a secret he was going to sign in the summer, be good to get him in

A good player but after his heart surgery I would be a bit jittery signing him . Anyway , I wonder what his fitness level is at the moment . Whoever we sign we need them ready to play

Hopefully we have a few already signed up and ready to join next week

Knowing the way Ling operates, that wont happen

Im not sure a new CF on his own will do much, because we dont make many chances. We need a few players including a decent number 10, and a left back

Kelman nailed on to join us, almost happened in the summer, now with Ruel & Drinan both out for weeks/months I expect this one to happen early in the window.
Unusually for us, he’s not injured and match fit!

striker and a winger that's all we need.

With no prospect of going up and limited chance of going down, I hope any signings we make are geared towards improving the team into next season. A couple of forgettable loan players isn’t going to achieve a lot. Maybe if we shift Moncur in the window, that would free up budget for a more marquee signing.

Realistically, to build a team capable of challenging for top 7 next season, we’ll at least need a new full back, a pacy winger, a sh*t-hot centre mid and a proper goalscoring striker.

Re Moncur, you’d think they’d be some club rule re carry extra poundage. The guy looked like he’s got 6 extra large Xmas puds strapped to his body!
Completely unfit & waste of space.
Needs shifting out as soon as.

you haven’t got a clue how he operates, you’ve never asked him. I respect your opinion though.

Dangerous thinking, we're nowhere near safe yet
