Wigan have signed on loan Charlie Kelman until the end of the season.

So much for my QPR supporting mate saying their supporters club gossip was he was signing a permanent contract with us. Just wait until I see him on Friday.

An Ebou Adams to sign for Derby County until the end of the season. Good news as they were one of the club vying to sign El Miz.

Possibly Adams will be in the Derby side against us - that guy keeps on popping up against us.

Good news

I think if we had wanted him we could have got him. Maybe we have our sights on somebody else

When we’ve played against Adam’s in the past our midfield has been weak . Barring injuries next time we meet we’ll be a lot stronger.

Charlie Kelman scored two for Wigan last night. 3 goals in his loan spell there. That's 3 more than our two young loanees and Joe Piggot put together in that time.

Oh well,

Certainly would have been better, but still wouldnt have thought of him as a good option long term.

I was surprised to see Kelman signed a contract extension with QPR in January, must mean QPR rate him, or he’s out of contract end of season and they want to get a fee for him.
Wonder if RW is still interested?

I really hope not.

Scored x2 for Wigan last night...against CAFC

Sign him up please Lingy!
We all know he’s RW’s love child!
Get him in the building.

I just seem's to me that it's inevitable that Kelman will end up back at Orient . If Richie wants him then that's OK by me .

Underrated by Orient supporters, young and still improving.

Have to trust Richie’s judgement but just don’t get it.

He was no better when he came on against us the other week. Didn’t get a look in against Omar,

I liked Kelman, had a swagger about him. Would gladly sign him.

Right place at the right time - but hardly net-busting.

"Wigan had been second best but turned the game on its head just after the hour mark. First, in the 62nd minute, Charlie Kelman touched home to equalise after on-loan Fulham winger Martial Godo's deflected shot fell his way.

Four minutes later, Kelman completed his brace via a close-range shot which deflected off Macaulay Gillesphey."

That said, Ritchie would have him back.

I never saw anything about him at all, tbh. He was largely hopeless in his time with us.

Yeah, I’ve already realised that. We’ll be as weak as dishwasher on Saturday.

It's a real shame El Miz picked up the injury when he did, was looking forward to seeing him go toe to toe against Kyprianou and Adams at home

Although I like El Miz playing Galbraith in the middle is giving us more attacking threat, he’s probably scored more goals in the last six games than Miz has scored in two seasons?

In my opinion if we want to push for promotion next season we’re going to need both . Hopefully we can sign El Miz again in the Summer, either permanently or on loan again

Kelman hopes to be in US squad at the Paris 2024 Olympics: “There’s a lot of very, very good players that are my age, but I’d like to think that I’m in contention for a call-up. Hopefully for the next three games I can keep scoring goals, and then you never know where that can take you. Obviously I’ve got one eye on it, so hopefully I can nick a late call up!” Good luck.
