You spelt Bristol Rovers wrong
. Anyway, even a broken clock is right twice a dayIt’s made it even more interesting to see who our two new strikers are.gshaw wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 6:04 pm https://www.leytonorient.com/news/2024/ ... on-Orient/
No surprise there, tries to hold the club to ransom each time his contract ends. Glad they've not given in, he's not worth paying through the nose for. Now get someone who wants to be here and preferably can trap a ball and pass itwe have an agreed budget and wage structure here and it is important for the long-term stability of the club that we stick to that. Myself and all of the footballing staff are aligned on that.
We now need 3 (or 2 and Ruel's place goes to a wide player or CAM)RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 6:35 pmIt’s made it even more interesting to see who our two new strikers are.gshaw wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 6:04 pm https://www.leytonorient.com/news/2024/ ... on-Orient/

That’s a question that will need answering.
Rovers have an 11k capacity We have 8.7k capacityRich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 6:55 pm I’m sad because he was an academy product and a very Richie type player that was flexible positionally . Great finisher too but also had long dry spells and no irreplaceable. A bit worrying we can’t match Bristol Rovers wage wise but if he’s getting paid more than fair play.
This news will look good or bad depending on who we replace him with.
He’s not a great finisher.

Literally 2.5 thousand extra £20 notes every other Saturday on a full house The Sooner we increase capacity the better

So nothing in it. The fact that Rovers were able to pay more than we could for Ruel is disappointing and a tad surprising.
Not necessarily surprising, he was seen by RW as a bench player here so I'm glad we haven't paid first XI wages for him.PKM wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 7:13 pmLast year Rovers 8,190Brigs wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 7:04 pmRovers have an 11k capacity We have 8.7k capacityRich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 6:55 pm I’m sad because he was an academy product and a very Richie type player that was flexible positionally .

More likely he was promised regular starts, and we wouldn't do that. And we'd be right not to.Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 6:55 pm I’m sad because he was an academy product and a very Richie type player that was flexible positionally .

Maybe we couldn't afford it because we're buying El-Miz and the money couldn't stretch that far . I'll make my mind up about our transfer activity when the transfer window closes .PKM wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 7:13 pmLast year Rovers 8,190Brigs wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 7:04 pmRovers have an 11k capacity We have 8.7k capacityRich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 6:55 pm I’m sad because he was an academy product and a very Richie type player that was flexible positionally .

You may be right but the impression I gained from Wellens’ comments on the O’s website was that the club’s wage structure and player budget ( or maybe lack of it?) was a significant factor. RS often flattered to deceive imho and was never a particular favourite of mine but he was our leading goal scorer and can hopefully be replaced satisfactorily.PKM wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 7:17 pm Difference could be length of contract
Ruel has got himself a 3 year deal with an option of another year on top

Well I think if we sign El-Miz we would have to pay a fee for him . Ipswich took up the option of extending his contract .Brigs wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 7:34 pmRedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 7:30 pmMaybe we couldn't afford it because we're buying El-Miz and the money couldn't stretch that far .
