Charlie Kelman’s Leyton Orient 12:00 - Feb 8 with 13050 views | DannyPaddox | Up against Man City in the FFS that was offside FA Cup. I prepare to stand corrected but I think Charlie is still our player but as I take as much interest in modern football players contracts and transfers as I do in mobile phone contracts I could be wrong. Either way seems like a good lad and having a decent season with a club I like so up the O’s! Up against a central defender today in Ruben Dias who’s worth approx £75 mil … would love to see Charlie meg him. [Post edited 8 Feb 12:07]

Charlie Kelman’s Leyton Orient on 13:49 - Feb 14 by Third_Division_South | If you didn’t know the name and heard we were in for a youngish striker from a promotion chasing team in the division below who’d scored a dozen goals I’m sure most of us would be delighted. I say give him a chance in preseason and let Marti have a good look at him. If he’s still not fancied it seems like we’d be able to sell him on for a few quid. |
Yes and in this case, he is already our player and we have extended his contract more than once, in the belief that he will come good and has been deemed by many at the club that he is the best finisher. So now after finally realising his promise and coming good would the club let him go. The question is, one of Kolli and Lloyd would need to be sent out on loan next season otherwise none of three will get enough game time, and this is where the club need to think carefully and act wisely. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Sounds to me like Martí plans to run his eye over him through the summer and then it’ll be down to the management team and board (and the player to a degree as it would seem a win-win for Charlie) to work out the best value option for the club. I’m sure Martí will want to see how, as a 23 year old, he measures up to Kolli and Lloyd (let alone Celar and Frey). Always good to have the opportunity and choice from the clubs perspective though. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I think Cifuentes has already had plenty of time to assess Kelman and wasn’t impressed hence the very limited playing time and season long loan. However Kelman has done alright (but not blown away most of Orient’s fans when you read their forums) so it’s sensible for us to assess him again in the summer. | ![](/images/avatars/24226.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

"deemed by many at the club that he is the best finisher" I've only ever seen this attributed to a one-time and probably off the cuff remark by Warburton. Happy to be proved wrong, otherwise we should probably acknowledge the repeated decision making over years that's put Kelman a long way down the strikers' pecking order. | ![](/images/avatars/3082.gif) |

I assumed this was a Agyemang style purple patch but he's starting to stretch away from that now. [Post edited 15 Feb 18:00]
