If that is the case, then I wouldn't play them again. We have enough players to cover and gives chances to others

Bound to be rumours. Could be true. If they go will depend on who is interested and what sort of game time they may get. And what sort of deal they are offered at Orient. Plenty of examples of moves up not working out.
Tbh though if I were a hot prospect I’d be looking elsewhere right now if I had the chance.. why not!

Sure, but the club should consider next season and if these players do not wish to be here(and Ling and Co would know this by now) and we are not getting any money, although in the case of Ruel we probably will due to his age etc, then I would bin them now, not even in the matchday squad unless as an emergency

Why play then, giving clubs the chance to take a look. If they don’t sign, then they don’t play until they do. Let those contracted for next season get games.

I hope these rumours are not true but steeling myself for the possibility that they are! I guess it’s a tricky one for the club in some ways in that obviously it wants to keep it’s better players/ prospects but doesn’t want to offer silly money to individuals who- in today’s football climate- can effectively walk away from the club at almost any time. I’m sure there’s no bad feeling between the club and the individuals concerned - it’s just business as it’s conducted now!
As there is much less pressure on Embleton and the club right now in terms of results, I guess the issue of their selection ( or non selection as the case maybe!) doesn’t present a significant problem at this stage.

Both rumoured with moves away in the summer and I blame the club for allowing there contracts to run out!! How can you blame the club if the players won't sign contracts? I'm sure we've offered competitive contracts. I have no evidence of this but to put it simply, why wouldn't we offer our better players improved and competitive contracts? |

I'm sure we've offered competitive contracts. I have no evidence of this but to put it simply, why wouldn't we offer our better players improved and competitive contracts? Nobody knows what goes on behind the scenes. A one year extension following promotion when our position was strong would have helped, maybe it was offered and rejected. Now we have little to offer players who have since proven their value in the league. Both now can afford to wait, knowing they have us to fall back on. Quite possible the situation could drag on. Short of ultimatums, no thanks, the club is not in poll position. Have to wait and contingency plan. Hard to criticise players. It’s a short career and they want to maximise their chances. Hard to criticise the club if we choose to play contracted players rather than them. Good players move on, life for us. Just a shame we are unlikely to make any money. |

Not sure Marv has shown this season that he is capable of playing at a higher level?

We all hope it turns out well for Josh.Great to watch wasn't he. |

Because of the covid 19 virus and the stopping of football,many football clubs are going to have a different perspective on who to sign or retain as the moneypool runs dry.I suggest to these two players,take what the O's has to offer while you can.
Apart from that I just want them to stay.

Both rumoured with moves away in the summer and I blame the club for allowing there contracts to run out!! There contracts won't run out until the 30th June at the earliest and may be extended by 3 months if the season overruns into June so the club HAVE NOT let their contracts run out. Please don't spread fake news or panic stories, we have plenty of that from our government at the moment! |
