Massive WUM failure.

Deleted the other thread now the name of this one has been changed



Midfielder, was on loan at Blackpool, but that has been cancelled so we can sign him. Any good? 2.5 year deal is unusual for us.

Turns out he was on loan at Blackpool before signing for us. West Ham recalled him so he could sign for us

2 footed. Plays on the right. Young. Likes to take players on. JMD won’t be getting a new contract then.

Sounds good

Couple of games putting out fires all over the place with Ling behind him will soon take its toll.

Played against us for Stevenage last season I recall
Came on as a sub I think

I hope his knees and ankles are in good working order.

That’s the weirdest new signing video I’ve ever seen, looks like a soft porno (probably).

Good luck to the lad, never heard of him but just had a quick look over the Blackpool forum and although not raving about him, they’re sure he’s good enough for L2. Look forward to seeing him tomorrow.

The two questions off the back of this are who is going, Dayton?, JMD?, both?, and how will he fit into our lopsided 3-5-2?

That's 4 questions!

8 games at League 1 recently so he turns up fit. My WHU mate at work rates him, so lets hope he's more than useful.

I don't like to generalise but West Ham fans are generally clueless, hence seeking an opinion from the Blackpool forum.

Replacing Dayton I guess since JMD has fallen out of favour. I reckon we have known that we could not agree a new contract with JMD for a while now and that is why Dayton has been more in favour despite being inadequate for this level.

I guess there might be knock-on moves that impact Wilkinson's place on the right side of the team and Kemp taking his place (e.g. Johnson leaving and Wilkinson playing centrally), but the more likely is he is one of the midfield three.

All fans are as clueless as one another, including O's fans

Scored for WH under 23s in the preseason friendly. 40 seconds into the video

We certainly have some great options for free kicks on the edge of the box.

Good luck to the kid .

Got to be better than JMD
Who just falls over most of the time .

diminutive 5' 2' midfield player, straight in the team playing centre half tomorrow

Seemed to remember him looking good whenever he's played against us for West Ham or Stevenage and think he was really well thought of a few years ago.

Good signing on paper, well done Orient. We've needed a proper right winger for a while.

5'6" according to Wiki. As tall as Alan Ball then.

When the right player comes up you don't pass the chance I guess, but we have what, 6-7 players who are either wingers or are playing out there? Dennis, Brophy, Sotriou, Dayton, Wilkinson, JMD, Angol. Hopefully this means we're shifting a couple out as our squad looks very unbalanced, particularly since despite having that many wingers, we're inexplicably playing Angol at LW. Maybe Kemp will be playing inside forward out left.

Sounds like he can play as a no.10, or on either winger. Quite an exciting player based on what the Blackpool fans are saying.

Relentless and pathetic.
