    Don't see why not, big unit, good pedigree ( was at Chelsea before a massive move to the Wendies), looked comfortable on the ball what I have seen of him. I'd have him ahead of Lennon and Thomas but either of those could do a job as cover at CB.

    The OS says it's a deal until summer 2016?

    Which is why you should never believe it until it's on the OS!

    Daggers fans seemed to really like him. He'll probably get a 3 month loan to League 1 and then 2nd half of the season a chance to prove himself with us

    If we've got a strong partnership already at CB I don't see how he'd get the chance with us, except through injury or suspension.

    Cawley and Ketts both reported summer 2017, both are usually reliable, so something has gone amiss somewhere

    Which partnership is that? TBH and Johnson have both been released, Bikey has barely played since January, Gomez may well be leaving and, besides, he and Diarra can't have played more than a couple of games together. I would say both centre back slots are very much up for grabs next season.

    Is this a different Cawley then? The one I know about is as reliable as a chocolate fire guard.

    Can anyone explain why Cawley is constantly slagged off on here? I know he reports on Palace and Millwall as well (obviously, he works for the SLP...) but generally as far as I can see most of what he writes is relatively accurate and usually substantiated, and I don't really recollect seeing anything to the contrary, certainly to the extent that warrants getting pilloried like he always seems to on here!

    If Obileye was expected to be a first-choice CB they'd surely give him more than a 1-year contract. I hope Gomez fills one of the slots, and Luzon must be hoping to sign ANOther, since he clearly doesn't fancy The Beast.
