Wages aside I don’t see why making a bid for idris is not possible. We are getting an additional 25% from the sky deal , plus we just got a fee probably in the region of £50,000 for sotirou.
Idris is only 23 and has investment potential besides the fact that he was our best player. Seems a no brained to me.

We won't get the Sky money until the end of the season. |

In that case we just got a massive amount for skys last year deal.
Regarding your saucy remark I would willingly pay £350,000 for idris provided the club paid his wages and he remained my player to sell and reap the profit whenever I wanted to cash in.
Unfortunately it’s not allowed , I once made that offer to the club when they were going to release jabbo.

£350k plus championship wages is a bit of a stretch for us. Thats even assuming he would be prepared to spend the next few seasons outside the Championship. Would love him to join us of course but not likely.

Idris has been outstanding for us over the last two seasons.However he's just had a serious injury and we don't know how he has recovered from this.Idris does not score goals and whilst I'd love him here again he's not the only player out there that can do what he does.The answer could even be here already in the likes of Brown,Sanders and Oberio.Idris would not walk into any championship team at the moment IMO

Aren't Travis & teague worth close to 100m dollars.and with like pocketed investors imminent to join us.
We could pay el miz two years championship wages and still clear profit after selling. him.
And if we plan to get promoted soon we'd better get used to these wage demands or fight relegation.

The club would have got significantly more from the compensation panel. |

Methinks too much is expected of Orient and those we can afford to sign.I wonder what the debts are of the holding company and whose real debt it is.

I don't think Idris' wages would be that high in the Champ tbh. He's currently on very little and is unproven at that level. The only interest I'm aware of is from Oxford. I doubt they'll pay much more than a top L1 side. We can't go that high, but maybe we could go high enough if he's keen on staying here. (Especially if we get Pigott off the books.)
Of course, Oxford may also offer decent bonuses and a tasty pay rise for staying up. I'd imagine the opportunity to play in the Champ will be too appealing. Plus we may consider the money better spent on a few players rather than just the one.
Still, some reason for optimism.

MCL injuries are common and not that problematic. 3 months out max, usually not requiring surgery. Not really the type to make you think twice about signing someone afaik. |

Could we not pay the fee to Ipswich in installments over three years with concern regarding el miz's recovery this season.
I'm sure he'd prefer playing as os captain rather than spending the majority of his time benched at a tier two club.
A tricky one of many opinions

The O’s willingly entered into an agreement specifically to avoid a compensation panel hearing so they must have felt there was good reason to suppose a fee stipulated by the panel was likely to work against them. |

Perhaps Bristol Rovers and the Os agreed to a percentage sell on agreement, something that might not have been applicable if done through the compensation panel ? |

Remember well from when I was a kid about Bill Nicholson bringing back Jimmy Greaves to England from Italy when they paid £99,999 to bring him to Tottenham. Bill was determined not to add to the pressure on Jimmy by making him the first £100,000 player and Jimmy started the repayment with a hat-trick on his Spurs debut against Blackpool, what a player he was !!

Frightening to think what sort of money a club would have to fork out for a player like Greaves nowadays. The fee would be astronomical! |
