Evans Charisma get 3 over the line.

Evans goes 7up ! Have to say that imho this is a really good signing.👍

Continues with his bags of experience players capable of putting in a full season bar injury. Solid no nonsense types who’ve done it all before

Time will tell,just saying.

More concerned about this coming year than the one just gone tbh!😆😆😆

TBH I don’t give a stuff about who Evens has signed, only interested in who is coming to the O’s

Not sure you can link what Evans does to how the league will pan out, too many variable factors.

We finished 6 points behind Stevenage last season and we all know about our injury situation throughout the year. 

Evans is a manager with a track record of success, knows the sort of players he wants to play his style, but so does Richie. If we get the players we want then I expect us to challenge for a top 6 spot, and whether Evans can pull the rabbit out of the hat with so many changes to his squad is for me questionable. 

Rotherham lost 29 times last season and I think Evans will have a tough time changing things back to a winning mentality. If he does it, then bringing in the experienced pros he has will I am sure be a big contribution to that, but I don't see Rotherham finishing with more points than us this season.

Would we like Orient to pay over the odds just to get some in.

Fair point but just what are “ the odds”? You could argue that as the transfer window rolls on and players find themselves potentially without a contract then they may be prepared to accept a “ lower” offer in order to get some security of employment. Equally, a counter argument would be that as the window progresses and club’s find their first or second choices are snapped up by others a sense of desperation creeps in and they will be under pressure to offer more money to ( possibly) inferior players in order to supplement their squad. 
I think it’s fair to say that whilst it’s quite right that the O’s carefully consider their budget before spending it, it’s also advantageous to get your transfer business done as early as it’s feasible to do so.👍

Not safe to assume that. He generally is going for the older more experienced players and they will know their worth in league 1.  I’m sure they are getting a decent whack but not too sure that means over the odds.  But maybe over what we can afford.  Think they got £1m recently selling a player and of course their crowds are decent enough, let’s say a couple of thousand more than us.  Thats an extra £20k plus on match day.  Thats 3 players on £5k at least. Fag packet calculation.

Small crowd increases add significantly to finances. Straight to the bottom line once expenses covered.  In that area we are screwed.
