We must be seriously looking at this lad given he's now played three reserve games for us, will we need to pay Orient a fee to get him?

Orient have told him he's not being offered a contract, so probably not.

D&S Sports Management. Same as Mo.

When he played for the reserves at home recently he did quite well. Very much in the mould of Jack Munns, slight player who’s creative from centre midfield.

Interesting - wonder how many other players we have from D&S (Dimitri and Savvaki, brothers) and how much of our £33k spend went their way.

Am I the only one wondering we are looking at players being released by struggling teams in the league below?

Maybe Leyton Orient aren't offering him a new contract because they can't afford to keep him as they're a shower of s#!t? They probably have to cut back even further, I'd imagine, given their awful showing this season.

Leyton Orient have greater resources than us now. Do we really need a tiny midfielder? Is he better than Thomas that we have invested in? He is currently performing on loan at a similar level. I doubt he meets the " must get us promotion" requirement so it all seems a bit strange.

Nige came from there didn't he? Another stroke of genius from GJ and/or PJ

What position does he play and what position does Thomas play?

If we lose Morrell and Winchester how many midfielders will we have?

Do they really after the parachute payments run out? Has this lad been featuring for them? My point is if he was good surely they would want a fee, it all feels strange unless he's one for the future.

Donut man has put in plenty. The supporter who won £9 mill .on the lottery said the club didn't need his cash.

There was a piece on Orient in the FT a few weeks before Easter. Found the link for those who missed it at the time:

Did he? I'm pretty sure he said that he wouldn't be throwing his money away by investing in the club because he's seen what's happened to the owners cash, but he would consider sponsorship.

See my link above. Donut Man’s money is from Texan Man who seems happy to put in a lot but not too much with no expectation of a return.

Can't read your link above, it seems to be behind a paywall.
