    For me signing Galbratih would reinforce the idea we will play differently to how we did in L1. Would expect him to invert in possession and see one of the strikers drift right while Carey would drift left to create width. Doc/replacement would push forward and Cov and Galbraith would sit and pack the midfield for any counters

    Gailbraith and Mulligan could both also compete with Doc and the CM options, useful versatility to have. 
    Any player who will only "compete" with Docherty is not worth signing. We need someone who starts and who is a level better. Docherty can be the backup if he wants to stay. Same applies to Berry. Had we had two midfielders just a little better than those two (and a lot better than the hapless Allan Campbell) during the season just ended, we might have snatched automatic promotion.

    That’s the sort of signing that if it happens would change views on what we’re looking to achieve.

    Very big if though.

    The sort of signing in the RD years where “we were close but couldn’t get it over the line”, which was probably due to not offering realistic fees and wages.
    Don't think so. The type of signing we will need if we are to stay up. 1.2M for a player is nothing in the championship.

    What I meant was some expected small fees at best and only see us aiming for 21st.

    I think Jones will be aiming higher, and we probably have a bigger budget than some speculated, and that could mean paying these sort of fees on a few players.

    Genuinely excited by this if we pull it off thought he was the standout player at Wembley

    From Nixon, sounds like another AMB type signing when he first came over. 

    Charlton are keen to snap up young Australian keeper Sonny Inzalaco - who has a British passport.



    Inzalaco, 17, is a 6ft4in shot-stopper who recently starred for the young Aussies in youth internationals in Europe.



    The youngster plays for Perth Red Star and is desperate to come to England to make his name.
    Stopped reading after I saw “From Nixon”.

    I genuinely can’t think of a single transfer he’s got right unless they’ve been confirmed elsewhere already.
    Definition of stealing a living.

    Orient mate thinks they're holding out for £2-3m. 
    If they get 2m for him they will have done very well. There's absolutely no chance they're getting 3m with a year left on his contract. I'd say 1.6-1.7m is probably realistic though, especially as you'd assume the player will want to leave, whether that is to us or to another championship side.

    Galbraith and Offiah would be a good start to our transfer business.  Maybe Josh Mulligan too now his Rangers move has stopped.
    Sonny Carey: Am I a joke to you? ;)

    Oops, yeah had already forgotten him!

    So Carey, Galbraith and Offiah would be an amazing start. 

    Mulligan a wild card...

    and Kone and Caleb Taylor two other top L1 players I would love us to look at...

    But I am now getting carried away!

    Galbraith would be a top top signing - I’ve watched him multiple times and he’s been a standout every single time. 

    I thought we stood no chance of getting him, as another champ team would come in and blow us out the water. But if a bid has been made then with our current setup, I sense there must be real optimism a deal can be done as otherwise they wouldn’t waste their time. 

    Certainly think he’d suit going back to midfield and offering us energy and excellent technical ability - he’s a ball carrier, tenacious and puts the hard yards in - apart from being below 6ft, he’s very much a Nathan Jones type player, in my opinion. 

    However, I would still be pleasantly surprised if we got him in the building and a case of I won’t believe it until I see it! If we pulled it off, then I can see us making a huge profit on him in a short space of time as he performs in the Champ.

    I think the big bonus in our favour is our London base. He's been a Orient for a good few years now and hopefully well settled in the area.

    No chance that that’s all up front though.

    Given this rather exciting news that we're ok with spending 7 figures, I really hope we are keeping tabs on Thelo Aasgaard. He is a similar player to Galbraith so I doubt we would be getting both but in my opinion, he was the best player in League one before his move to Luton and he stepped up brilliantly to the championship, spearheading their turn in form from February onwards. Think he'd really suit a Nathan Jones team as well.

    Kone off to West Ham I think.  £15m apparently.

    That is mental. Lloyd marked him out the game. Nowhere near premiership level.

    That makes Lloyd Jones worth £30m in my book then!

    Mad if true, but if so it shows how we could build up our playing budget just by a young attacking player having a good season.

    Even more so in the Championship.

    Galbraith would be a top, top signing and I think would suit the way we play. 

    15m for kone is daylight robbery! Not just saying it, I'd rather have galbraith out of the 2

    West Ham love spending money on strikers who end up scoring about 4 goals for them. 15m is utterly absurd.

    Straight on the phone to see if they’d loan him out for a season.

    Imagine if we can get Leaburn signed up to a new contract, back at full fitness and back to his very best how much money we'd be able to ask for if he gets 10-12 goals this season.

    People under-estimate how much teams are prepared to pay for potential in Football now - Its just another ridiculous aspect of how money controls things.

    Surely that £15m for Kone is a rumour started by Nixon or similar. Can't believe West Ham recruitment team are stupid enough to pay that. 
  • MarcusH26

    I know West Ham love an outrageous fee on a striker only for them to underperform but £15m on Kone would be absolutely bizarre, I know you're buying potential but his second half of the season stats were terrible under Dodds and he spent the playoffs pocketed by Lloyd Jones and should have been sent off.

    Kone was't good against us and he obviously had a dip in form but he's 21 years old, just scored 18 goals in L1 and did that in his first full Football League season. The main thing I took away watching him against us was he looked raw. West Ham will be looking at the leap he's made in output after just 18 months spent training with a L1 side and feeling like they can get a hell of a lot more out of him with better coaching. Ipswich signed Liam Delap for £20m after he'd scored 8 Championship goals in a season and then sold him on for £30m just a year later. £15m isn't a huge amount for a Premier League team but if Kone lives up to his potential West Ham could double their money so they'll be viewing it as a gamble worth making
