According to Whoscored.com he has been their best player so far this season. Really happy for him.

I think he signed a two-year deal with Blackpool in 2020 which means he will be a free-agent next summer. It looks like the young man has played his cards right.

Chuffed to bits for the lad. Still can't quite forget the not insignificant number of Orient fans (some of them on here) who - in his final season with us - thought he was struggling in League Two, and that was because he wasn't up to it at that level.

Remember when Elokobi kept him out of the side and only a hamstring in the 2nd minute gave Marv a chance?

I never doubted Marvins ability
just worried about those big feet staying connected to those skinny legs

Used to love it at opposition corners how he had no interest in the ball and always wrapped himself around his man. Proof that penalties never get given for that sort of thing.

If Simpson and Happe sign their contracts then we don't need him.

Was gutted when he left, good squad player given how consistently injured Happe is
Think he’ll probably end up at a bigger club though

If Simpson and Happe don’t sign their contracts, we still don’t need him.
There’s literally no way in a million years Richie would sign Marv.

Not so sure about that.
Wasn’t Marvin involved in some sort of altercation at a cinema? Wellens might want to add those with GBH charges alongside racists to make up his bad boy back 4

When you look back that National league squad was crazy
Bonne, Koroma, Marvin all went to play in the Championship, Brophy League One

is on nearly £6,000 a week so very unlikely even if Happe does not sign

Wellens likes CBs that can control a ball and play a pass.
Wellens knows Marvin is so sh*t on the ball he didn’t press him up at their place, leaving him unchallenged to bring the ball out.
There is literally no way ever Richie would sign him.

That and the fact Marvin can’t play football.

Doesn’t matter. It was bad squad management not having enough time on their contracts to get substantial returns
