Striker number 2. Underwhelming.
Hopefully RW will get a tune out of him, he’s got all the talent. Couldn’t find him in the right positions last time he was here.

The least surprising signing ever, January / June same difference
I don't mind this one as the Sotiriou replacement, provided we're looking for a quality backup / competition for Agyei

Really strange this never happened at the start of last season or in Jan, missed a sitter for Wigan against us

That’s a strange one. He was out of contract at QPR

That’s my thinking. He suits Richie’s system. If he can score 10/15 goals then we’re no worse off. Big if though.

Here's how I'm thinking (hoping) it's playing out...
Sotiriou wanted big bucks to stay, based on the comments about breaking wage structure likely north of 4k p/w and RW saw him as a bench player
We bring in Kelman and Perkins on loan only paying part of their wages, potentially not even spending half the amount Ruel wanted to stay and getting two players for the price of one. The difference can then go on the key signings at GK, CDM and (big if here) the ST to cover Agyei (Pigott replacement)
Much depends on the next signings which need to be big ticket ones to give us a squad that can compete in what's looking like a very tough league.

My god how bad is this going to get. Two waisted loans and terrible ones at that, this has got relegation written all over it. How much cheaper can this club get. Don’t answer that.

Could be that's your lot ?
With Kelman,he might match Ruels workrate at keeping defenders under pressure but can he score as many goals as Ruel does ?
Might be that Perkins is the backup / competition for Agyei, if so, then does not seem that good especially if ( as rumoured )' Galbrath does leave.

Welcome back Charlie. In RW we trust and he is delighted at this signing.

''Money's too tight to mention'' and Kelman in place of Ruel !
Also rumour that Galbraith might be sold as well, could be a long hard season ahead ?

Yeah, so far we're having a poor Summer . Our top goal scorer leaves with Galbraith pending . I'm completely underwhelmed . We could well be in trouble next season . What the hell are they thinking at Orient . If this is what we can expect they had better tell Huddersfield to bugger off because we're going to need players like Galbraith just to stay in League 1 . Fcuk the money .

For whatever reasons, if you had been in charge of the Os, you would have been unwilling to pay Ruel even £500 a week in wages !!

Two loans suggest money is being spent elsewhere. El Miz hopefully.

Correct, never liked his attitude back from when he refused to turn up to training, well done RW for not putting up with his demands this time around.

We'll be in trouble if so, there's no target man there to cover Agyei so a huge risk if he picks up an injury. Perkins doesn't look particularly physically imposing?
I wonder if any further ST signing very much relies on Pigott being moved on, could be we're stuck until right at the end of the window leaving little time to replace like what happened in January with Drinan.
In pure numbers we've seen Drinan, Sotiriou and Forde leave and so far only Kelman and Perkins come in. Still short on numbers as it stands, more incomings required.

Maybe but we're going to need. to keep Galbraith along side him if our strikers are going to be that pony . Remember we're still stuck with that donkey Pigott . .

Willing runner who always gives 100% but to what extent does it boost our goalscoring capability?
