    I’m of the same opinion. I have heard of him from his time at Peterborough. Another Barry Fry recruit. I’m more than happy to give him a chance.

    Even he says he was surprised as it came out of nowhere.
    I'm hoping that's the 1st of 2 today as like it's been mentioned, season tickets need selling and with no offence intended, this signing won't make people think its gonna be goals, goals, goals this season.

    I'm hoping the goal scoring striker is yet to be identified.

    My guess at the minute is Eisa may played more in the striking role rather than wing so that him , cook and Angol as our front three. Not 100% sure thats enough looking at them on paper. I'm kind of hoping now that this rules out our move for that non league lad, not sure we can be taking a bit of a punt on two strikers at this stage and relying on cook

    His injury record is interesting. I'm sure sparks said we'd be signing players who could play 40 games a season as opposed to those who could only manage 20.

    Adams has been it clear he wants to work with a 24 men squad and for me that's fine.

    However, we have some youth players that will make up the 24 in the squad meaning for me that all our signings have to be on point. We can't be taking risks or carrying players.

    I wish the lad well but make this the only signing that seems like a waste.

    Guthrie had a much better record and turned to be utter sh*te. You don't know how any player is going to work out.

    Nearly everyone wanted Derek Adams as manager then we start moaning about his signings! UNBELIEVABLE JEFF as Kammy would say.

    Sparks won't be choosing the signings, I think that will be Derek's job.

    I wanted him because Sparks did and it was refreshing to see the club get the man they really wanted.

    However, saying that he still has one aim this season AUTOMATIC promotion.

    The signings have to be on point. We can’t be wasting spots.

    Yes, let’s without question blindly trust Turnbull who had such a great transfer window with hits like Stevens, The Boro kid who’s name I have forgotten already he was so good and Rowe who I have had bouts of diarrhoea last longer than his time at City.

    I doubt we will have a front three or even front two, more likely to be front one with three behind.

    Let's hope he is just a back up, other wise it's a poor signing, his record is poor in resent years.

    Spot on.

    No matter how many times people posted saying we would sign mediocre looking players and not to be shocked, sounds like people are shocked.

    Really???

    We don’t but we have to give the player the benefit of the doubt until he proves otherwise

    Nice.

    It'll be lost on this lot though. Come across to the Countdown thread where a good joke is appreciated.

    Fair point, but and the point you are likely missing?We don’t have a young Mc Burnie in the youth squad

    Angol scored in added time for Orient in the Morecambe away game last season that Orient won 2-0. He played the whole game - sounds likely to me that DA saw what he was capable of doing then.

    He is a vastly experienced manager happy to leave it to his judgment. As for missing out on targets that happens to all teams every year just move on to the next

    I've just watched his interview. Made a good impression on me. Positive attutude and already seems raring to go. Sounds like he knows what to expect from the fans, too. I hope he's a success.
