Can never have enough inverted CBs mate

Reckon Santos goes if he comes. Just can’t see who else accommodates another CB

Every other post on Twitter wants him given time, it’s confidence, he scored loads for burton. 

Anyone remember

 

Riga! Riga! Riga!

 

Now there was a player the fans seemed to love when he was the bench side of the touchline and not quite so much when he was the pitch side of it.

Can he play the midfield bastard in front of the defence 

Hoping for a nice 4pm announcement tomorrow of Mendes Gomes.

Evatt said was very nearly done, so would've thought final details would have been straightened out over the last 24 hours.

Still need another 2 signings after that methinks

He started 17 out of the last 19 league games and came on as sub in the other 2. Of course he’s the type of player that gets subbed because if you’re winning, which Orient usually were, he’s not adding a lot defensively. If any of our attacking players excluding Bradley had gone to Orient on loan I’d be surprised if they’d got more minutes.

Yet strangely they didn’t decide to offer him a permanent contract as we suspected they would. I do like Sadlier but clearly he isn’t going to be given a suitable role by IE so it would make sense to let him move on.

It's interesting how people interpreting things differently

Evatt's comments made me think it's further away than people have been making out and that the chances of it not happening were a bit higher than I was thinking they were

I’ve no reason to speak up for Sadlier, and Orient might think he’s not very good, but how do we know they don’t want him? He’s under contract here so nobody can offer him a contract any more than we could to Bradley, and maybe he’s tried living in London and would rather stay in the north. Or he just doesn’t like working for Richie Wellens, or his wages are outside their budget, who knows.

I’d guess they’ve appraised him over his loan period and that they think they can get better value for money and like many of our fans they think he isn’t very good.

Fair comments JR and any of those could be right but you’d just think that if both parties really wanted it they’d have come to a solution and I’m sure Evatt wouldn’t have stepped in the way. I personally rate Sadlier so I’m more than happy for him to stay here though I can’t see him getting much game time and certainly not a starting spot. On that basis I hope he can get fixed up somewhere where he will for everyone’s benefit.

Hope we can get the CMG deal over the line today or I'll be worrying about it going the same way as the Baccus "done deal".

He booked in at the hotel for the next 3 weeks.

I just want the official announcement - immediately followed by wild speculation about who will be next in

Hotel bookings can easily be cancelled! Hopefully not though and we get this deal over the line later today.

Lusty and whitey need to chill.   When was the last time Mr evatt came out and said something like he did about a 'possible' signing.   

If it had the slightest chance of going tits up or not already done he wouldnt of said a word.

Likely not announced as the bloke who does the daft blue mood lighting thing for the signings doesnt work weekends !

I'm really excited about this. Admittedly I'd barely heard of him till this week & he appears to  play in a position we're not set up for but .... yaaay, go CMG !!

Hopefully CMG can link up well with JDC and JDB, and help replace MJW.

Looking forward to seeing CMG receiving balls in tight areas from KD and AM.

Maybe he can even improve our short corners by linking up with JS, dribbling past the first man and laying it on a plate for RS, GJ or JI.

It’s a shame DA isn’t still here we could’ve played 4231 with DA, CMG, KS in behind DC
