An amazing signing. Back to be .

[Pretty Boy]

Don't know a thing about him so will be interesting to see what he offers.

[Squealing pig]

Football manager? Good stats on wiki

[Stuarty27]

scored 1 goal every 4 games in the lower leagues in England...

We would be pissing ourselves if Rangers signed him

Skilful and can score a goal quite small 5 8 prob replacement for Feruz. Can remember watching him in a couple of games on TV when at Orient.

Solid stats on FIFA, top goalscorer at Leyton Orient when Marvin Bartley was there. Look forward to seeing how the lad gets on, got a decent feeling about him!

[cleanyman]

Farid or Anier out the door then

Or maybe both?

Lower leagues in England is a better level than the league we are playing in.

Talented player IMO.

How does Malongas goal scoring record look before he came here?

[Off the bar]

Welcome aboard Chris.

[Cabbage Lad]

Anyone remember when we signed David Gray? How did that turn out?

Stubbs hasn't really signed any duds so I trust his judgement.

But they didn't, we did. How about giving the guy a chance before dissing him?

We laughed when they signed Waghorn and Tavernier to be fair, and they've done well at this level.

[blackpoolhibs]

Is he fit and available to play in January?

[The Leith Dutch]

Farid or Anier out the door then

Or maybe both?

Mixu has already suggested he's recalling Anier and Feruz has had so little game time there have been suggestions that either he or Chelsea may end the loan as it benefits neither of them.

Not seeing the connection with Farid though.
He's contracted to the club and looks (the alleged incident with Lyle aside) to be a good influence on the dressing room.

[Thecat23]

Feruz days could be up now I think.

[Golden Bear]

Is he fit and available to play in January?


And that is the key question.

[FromTheCapital]

Seen him a few times and was a very nippy forward IIRC.

Will offer a lot more than Feruz and won't be surprised to see him return back down South.

Still think we will see another defender and striker at least come in during the January window.

Feruz days could be up now I think.

Daylight hardly broke for him in all fairness !

[Nutmegged]

Stats seem decent, has a goal in him but from reading about him hes a wee tenacious harrier who'll work his socks off and chase every ball, thats the kind of forwards we have in Jase and Keating's... If he was a replacement for Anier I'd have imagined he'd have a far greater physical presence.

[StevieBoyKdy]

This one certainly sprung up from nowhere. Is this the guy that is ready to step on the 2nd then?
Hope that means the end for feruz, can see anier being recalled sadly and el alagui I've just gave up hoping he'll ever be available.

Have you seen him?

Jonnyboy and LancashireHibby have and speak well of him.

Stubbs obviously rates him as well. Maybe give the guy a chance before you write him off?

[Thecat23]

Can't say I know anything about the lad, but trust Stubbs 100%. If he thinks he'll bring something to the team then I'm more than happy.

[Thecat23]

Daylight hardly broke for him in all fairness !

I agree, really wanted to see more of him if I'm honest. Everyone including the coaching staff were looking forward to him coming once we knew he'd be heading up.

Sadly just hasn't worked out. The run we are on hasn't helped his chances but that's not a bad thing as its about winning. But overall I think there is a player there.

Full of positives you, eh?

[MWHIBBIES]

We would be pissing ourselves if Rangers signed himCould also say he has the most experience and career goals of all our strikers (aside from Farid maybe). Stats are a lot of *****. We'll see how good he is when he plays.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

We need to realise that in general terms Scottish League 2nd Div is nae great shakes (Theres only one good team in it). If he turns up I'm confident he'll do just fine.

Trust Stubbs' judgement. Reckon be could be good for Jason to learn from.

[Aldo]

Wow!

Boys not even played and he's getting slated.

Give him a chance FFS.

and get a grip.

Adds competition

Trust Stubbs. Folk will no be complaining if he scores the winner on Monday!!

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Never heard of this guy. ...wheres the big name signing

[Libby Hibby]

Welcome to ER, Chris, all the very best

[Black Kyle]

Used to watch him play up front with ALF at Rochdale - knows where the net is, bit like John of the Robertson variety. Welcome Chris.

[kaimendhibs]

Welcome to Hibs Chris

Wait till Jan I'm sure you'll find out!

There's already another thread dedicated to that...called Leon Osman :faf:

No he's not?

One person has put a slightly negative comment but that's hardly him getting slated!

Sorry for picking you up on that as I realise you were just being supportive, what normally happens though is one person says something negative, there's then hundreds of posters slating that one poster and before you know it it's a .net fact the hibs support never gave him a chance.

Not a problem Bingo and I do see you point!

No need for negativity though and yes just showing my support!

[Up The Bracket]

http://leytonorientforum.co.uk/topic14574.html

Seems relatively positive, they seem to have wanted him back going by the above

[PiemanP]

Orient are my local team so I've seen him a few times. Bit hot and cold but if Stubbs can get him playing well he'll score plenty for us. This signing reminds me a bit of Chris Killen under Mowbray.

[Eyrie]

I have three immediate reactions to this

1 - I've never heard of him
2 - He looks average on FM11
3 - Stubbs has signed him

I know which of the three I'd place my faith in, so I expect Dagnall to be a good signing and am looking forward to seeing him play.

[PatHead]

Welcome Chris.

[FranckSuzy]

We would be amazed if Rangers signed anyone!

Fixed that for you :wink:

I have no knowledge whatsoever of FM11 and I assume that's a tongue in cheek comment. I'm perfectly happy with points 1 and 3 I'd never heard of Latapy before we signed him.

[Forza Fred]

We should be happy that we are actively seeking to improve the squad by trying to get players in before it could be too late.

In previous seasons we signed players we had never heard of on the last day of the window...this way we move ahead of the pack, and if it works out..great,high fives all round,if it doesn't, then no big deal.

One qualifier on that though.....presumably he is NOT injured?

[Forza Fred]

If by this you mean he is a non stop effort goal scorer, then I would have preferred if you said he was in the Jimmy O'Rourke category, as opposed to the chappie you unfortunately mentioned.

Me thinks most of the 'injuries' are just excuses for the young team to get Kitty, the physio, to tend to them :tee hee:

[trev the hat]

A fit & ready enhancement to Hibs is what's needed.
Hopefully he is both.
Welcome son !!

[Lancs Harp]

Dagnall scored 50 plus league goal in 140 apps for Rochdale but left there in 2010. Hasnt done much since, which not being funny is probably why he ended up in India. Welcome to Hibs Chris I wish you every success but I wouldn't be expecting too much. Having said that he will offer more than a very disappointing Feruz who didn't make any impact last season with my other love Blackpool and hasn't improved n the cameos Ive seen this season in a Hibs shirt.

In short Dagnall will offer more than Feruz.

Can't blame them for that :) would do the same myself if I could ....

Orient fans were keen to get him back, apparently went to India for the money, £8k a week. God knows what Hibs are paying him but doubt it's close to that. Loads of players from the lower leagues in England do well in our premiership so he has every chance in the championship of being useful

Maybe, maybe not. The proof will be in the pudding so to speak and time will tell. I think its very much a "Lets see what he can do" deal hence the contract length only being until the end of the season.

[Diclonius]

I'm guessing this guy is our new backup striker, replacing Anier/Feruz. Happy enough with that. Or should I say.. Whelmed? :wink:

[monktonharp]

:agree:


http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/illustrateur-en-5dbbb51d6e4e5d76d023f8813dc49f24.htmlmust have something, if he's heard o' Lithgae:wink:

http://leytonorientforum.co.uk/topic14574.html

reading one of the posts and it said he was on £8000 a week in India,
to be honest never heard of him but anyone who has seen him think he will do well for us and the fact that Stubbs has not signed a bad player yet.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

I've got an idea. ..if we put Van Dagnall on his shirt then that will count as a big name signing and appease the doubters

[Hibbyradge]

Hearing that Farid could possibly be retiring soon...... Real shame, you can tell how much the guy loves his football.

We should maybe offer a coaching role at Hibs.

[BSEJVT]

We should maybe offer a coaching role at Hibs.

Nice sentiment, but no we shouldn't

We should offer coaching roles only on the basis that the recipients are qualified, willing and able to do the job and that we have a need at that point in time for a coach and that the applicants skill set and a whole load of other factors complement the existing coaching structure and team.

We are a football club, not a charity for broken down players

This week alone that's you suggesting Farid and others suggesting Riordan.

We already have 3 people managing the first team, Joe McBride the development team and George Craig & Eddie May involved also.

Plus legions of youth coaches etc etc.

If the Leon Osman rumours are true add another player / coach

That seems like more than enough to me.

Its a real shame for Farid if he is having to retire but unfortunately thats's a footballers lot in life and why I don't begrudge them moving on for more money (unless its to the Yams or the infirm)

I concur.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

How many games has he actually played for us? I always rated him and think he would have got a lot of goals had he stayed fit but we don't owe him anything other than his contract.

[monktonharp]

We should maybe offer a coaching role at Hibs.If he canny play fitba, punt him. that's what he was paid (handsomely) for. might get a nice wee Janny's job or storeman wi' standard life. many people in physical jobs have had too, as they become unable to do their normal work
