Anyone know if we have signed this player as I can't find anything on the orient site saying welcome ir anything

There's nowt on the website cos we ain't signed him

I though that we signed him

Free agent so deadline rules don’t apply

I understand that but I can't find anything on him not be announced welcome to the club or anything o understand that he was a free transfer but did we actually sign this player or was he just linked to the club though a rumour

Rumour . He is still at Blackpool, on trial and other clubs like Charlton have shown interest. It would be an exciting sighing for us , but it sounds like it’s not a deal yet , if at all. Our budget is probably an issue.

Why would we announce not signing him?

Our budget is definitely the issue and always will be.

He is a free agent midfielder once with Spurs, Aston Villa, Sheffield Wednesday, Fulham and lately with PNE. 27 June 2023, it was confirmed that he would leave Preston upon the expiration of his three-month contract. In a career spanning ten years he made 173apps scoring.10 goals. Wiki seems to think he is on trial at Stoke but that was last year. Wonder where he has been since.

Sounds like a waste of time & will take ages to get up to speed
Good news is he should be cheap, so get him in Lingy!

Always question players that haven't signed for a club by now, most players and clubs want these guys in five weeks ago so they have a bit of pre-season, bonding etc, any player who signs now will be weeks behind the others

He would be fine by the time Theo comes back, ie next year some time.

A great exception to the rule. Not easy to find.
