Re: League One 25/26 - the Runners and Riders, or Schumacher's First Strike
Another of Orient’s best players, Ethan Galbraith, to go.

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread
But if that's the case, and making the assumption given that we've signed two players for that position, that it's a 4-2-3-1, it leaves us five players in that midfield 2. That's at least 1 too many. The alternative is that Ceesay comes in as a definitive #6, playing with the two #8s ahead. Is Simo...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread
Watching what Ceesay clips are available online, I'm not even sure he's left-footed. He's certainly very comfortable on his right, sometimes even seeming to prefer it when both options are available. For example, his only goal this season is a right-foot 20-yarder that might arguably have been easie...

Re: League One 25/26 - the Runners and Riders, or Schumacher's First Strike
With Stockport striker Tanto Olaofe moving Charlton at the same time. Yeah, slightly surprised by that purchase - though Olaofe top-scored with 20 as Stockport went up, he then 'only' scored 8 in 42 League One games last season, so it's not like he was screaming to be moved upwards. Mothersille sco...

Pete O'Rourke says so, aye. So who's the next left-back target?

Re: League One 25/26 - the Runners and Riders, or Schumacher's First Strike
Oh OK - Stockport break their record (£800,000 on Ian Thomas-Moore in 1998!) to sign Mothersille from Posh.

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread
...But it moves the imbalance elsewhere - Sheehan is added to the most overloaded section of the squad, a 10/attacking midfielder/support striker along with Randall, McAtee, Lolos, CMG and Dempsey . For me the only true 10 in this list is Randall, and Sheehan maybe better than all of them in that p...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread
I put Sheehan into the central midfield pot because that’s almost exclusively where he’s played for us. That’s not to say that Schumacher won’t try him further forward, but did he ever try it last season? Genuinely can’t remember. He didn't. Maybe because we had so many 10s :D But then I've said ma...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread
Not sure we need to hit the same squad compisition as the last few years. There's plenty of "attackers" we could still dump. We also seem to be reading into an "accidental" flash of some magnets on a white board... But yeah, couple of sides would now be good. It's not the whiteboard tea-leaf readin...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread
Something down the sides would be nice! Still got a fair few to shift. Imagine Sheehan would be one, the oldest and least versatile of those midfielders, bit agree they probably all have their price. Sheehan's value is the one most likely to drop quickly. His contract ends in 2027 (like Thomo and M...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread
It seems certain that there are a lot of moves still to be made. If Ceesay were to join we'd again be at our overage, outfield squad limit, yet would only have one recognised left back (who's never played above tier 4), one recognised right back, one fit centre forward and three players who might b...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread
You wait ages for a signing, then nine come along at once... Nine debut pro contracts signed by Julian's young Whites, who you imagine will now be the backbone of the B team. All 18, they've completed their two-year scholarships. . Screenshot 2025-07-01 at 17.51.00.png . Left to right: • forward Dae...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread
Tucked away in an article on midfield options, Iles mentions that Ceesay wasn't in the squad for Norrkoping's game last night. But, before we all get a bit giddy, he wasn't in the squad for their previous game at the end of May, so probably nothing in it. Talk from the Swedish side is that the agen...

Didn't Marc Iles say that Schumacher is now looking to bring in experienced cover?
