    You'd fill the squad with a player in a position we don't need another player for??

    Touray
    Wright
    Sibley

    All LWB if needed.
    And you would sign Tayo?

    I'm not against us signing a LWB. I think Touray is better for us as a CB because he's a good defender but also really comfortable in possession and his pace back there is important. Better still it keeps Kelly out the side.

    Richards is a crock which means Wright as our main LWB. He's had some good games but we'd all agree upgradable.

    Not really if he is on business. The transfer window business is almost certainly planned, he has a head of football he trusts, has Teams meeting options and if he can secure extra funding for the club .... good timing?

    Ian Cooper was my neighbour for a while in Eccleshill
    He lived in the house that Bronco’s brother later moved into

    Why would he need to go see sponsors for next season at the start of January when its all agreed? Player/potential investors/potential new owners would be more likely.

    Whats the deal with Richards? Surely he’d be a better option than Wright

    as for Tayo, would be a nice option to have for that side, but Palace wont send him here. Most likely a lower League 1 club that actually uses wingbacks which I dont think Leyton Orient we’re doing

    As for Fletcher. There is no chance hes coming here. Blackpool are not going to sell their star asset when they spend every other week in a relegation dog fight

    Richards is of no use to us if he's permanently crocked!

    Agree with all of this. Touray is better at LCB for me, meaning we've got Tyreik and a crocked Richards for the LWB slot (possibly Sibley too but GA has said he's been signed as a 10), so Tayo would fit the profile of a player we should be looking to recruit.

    Tayo is way better than Richards. Aside from having a decent cross, Richards is pretty crap

    Lewis Richards is an excellent wing back at this level when fit. He's just never fit or we'd actually be tremendously well stocked in both the wing back positions.
