Got to be careful with these though. Some can be sour grapes etc. I would still say the majority of the fans I've read have praised him and he looks promising in the highlights. Looks very quick which is what a lot of people wanted on here. Just need to sign that big lump Eaves now ideallyNapaAddick said:Orient fans do not seem phased. Here is what they say about it on their largest message board. Which makes me nervous. This guy is from the National League? He has not even proven himself in League One and we are paying a fee to have him jump a few divisions? All the while we can't seem to find the money to pay the players who got us here? Or our manager? Given it seems the fans feel he universally dropped-off the second half of the season and also claims they have other players they wish to hang on more than Bonne... all that combined... count me out of being happy to see this transfer with so many other fish to fry, first. This seems outright bizarre. Given this is happening while Bowyer is out fishing, I am wondering if this odd transfer is a sign he is not going to be with us in two weeks.

Happy with this type of signing.
Fits the player Bowyer likes. Potential and something for Bow to work on.
Bonne, Lockyer, the Plymouth winger.
Would much rather the best of the lower leagues scouted by Gallen than a bunch of journeymen.10 -
I'd take his signing as a very good sign re: LB, SG, JJ etc0
-
Bowyer and Gallen will have a list of targets, how many we sign is a different matter.1

Wikipedia shows he is out of contract. He may of course have signed an extension and Wikipedia is just out of date.CH4RLTON said:I had heard that we beem looking at an unkown Zimbabwean kid; but this one loan from Leicester:-
Deal agreed just waiting on timing
Admiral Muskwe
Add Eaves and that’s our four.
Leaves a lot on Taylor’s shoulders.0 -
Hopefully could be a busy week this week with a few signings.0

Gallen's track record is excellent so I'm happy with this if he rates the player.
I'd be worried if he was to go straight into the starting 11, and I doubt the player expects to anyway but as a squad player it's a relatively cheap punt
It's the sort of deal which doesn't really rely on Bowyer (or Gallen staying) any local player would leap at the chance of moving from L2 to the Championship, whoever the manager was1 -

He's been playing in the National League not L2 so it's a massive leap - could be another Stewart Fleetwood.killerandflash said:Gallen's track record is excellent so I'm happy with this if he rates the player.

Look like the sort of comments written on here about KAG when he left and Huddersfield fans love him.NapaAddick said:Orient fans do not seem phased.

I meant that he's in L2 now (with Orient) so for next season it's a leap of 2 divisionshoof_it_up_to_benty said:

I knew what you meant but I was just making the point his biggest success had been at National League level - it's a big leap from there to the Championship. Hopefully he proves okay.killerandflash said:

So Bow and Gallen put together two lists of prospects depending whether we were L1 or Championship.
Roland and his Driesen sidekick seem to be working to the L1 version regardless.8 -
Admiral was an insurance policy in case we didn't get Macauley Bonne...CH4RLTON said:20 -
Joe was training down at David Lloyd’s this morning. Told him I loved him and didn’t want him to leave. In fact, I was begging him as I held on to his leg whilst he tried to get away. Asked him if he was leaving and he said he hadn’t made up his mind yet but was keeping his options open. I suspect he was just being diplomaticSwisdom said:My take on this is that Aribo is going somewhere and we are pretty much spending most of the money on Bonne. An appeasement if you will
I also take it that Bowyer has signed up now
Complete guesses but that’s what I think and maybe a busy week ahead3 - Sponsored links:

Our third player from Orient in a year i think? Big step up for the lad.0

Perhaps Admiral was a crossed wire when someone said "Zimbabwean striker" - it was actually Bonne0

My Leyton Orient supporting mate text me this morning saying we were getting an absolute bargain, and that Bonne should be going for £1m+ in the current market.
Reckons he's good enough now for the Championship and is still improving.12 -
The police advised him to go as far away as possible, say Glasgowhoof_it_up_to_benty said:

Seriously, if Bowyer doesn't sign up, who's going to be the manager? We only got Bowyer by complete chance - he was here already so wouldn't cost much if anything in extra salary to move from coach to manager which is Twoshits business model to a T.
No one decent will take the job. We might get lucky and unearth another unknown gem like Bowyer but the odds are stacked heavily against it, so we'll most likely end up with someone useless who just wants a job knowing they'll be sacked within six months and get a six month paid holiday.0 -
I think it didn't even come in to the harbour (or harbor, @NapaAddick).cfgs said:
