George Moncur appreciation thread

[Tommy2holes]

I must admit. I was a little dubious reading the Orient thread about George being lazy and difficult etc. That he can't last 90 minutes.

Maybe he just needed a new challenge and to be somewhere he needs to be appreciated.

He is a class above at this level. It's clear he still needs a little more work in his fitness and strength but he is getting better every game.

Seems to bring out more from those around him as well.

Does a good interview as well…proper cockney, said he ain’t quite there at the moment, as he goes to shoot after a run there is nothing there….said he’s gonna have to put his legs in the fridge till Tuesday

 

[Smiffy]

He just needs to feel the love and belief from management, players and fans and we will benefit from it massively.

 

[Shrimp and two veg]

Needs to be able to feed a player near him that has an entirely different focus, that is goal bound and direct. George behind a Freddy Eastwood, Barry Corr, David Crown or Brett Angell would just be rude. Definetly his fitness improving will turn him into a wow player, able to tease and walk round players but have a fierce shot without sprinting.
Love watching him, patiently waiting for Forsen to come alive in this team and win those 2nd balls with pace and agility.
once he realises he doesnt have to be in every position up and down the pitch, asking for the ball, and trust in others, then watch out NL.

Forsen nearly created the ball of the season for wood. About an 6 inches from being a worldy

 

[Harry Bullocks]

A very knowledgeable player who lifts and inspires those around him.
As mentioned above, needs a goal hungry striker to feed

 

[Swiss Tony]

Special players have balance and time,he has both, love watching the man play.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Looking forward to Walker returning with Moncur and Forson behind him… Bridgey and Gus on the wings. Pepple or Effiong up there too battering the defence out of the way. Doesn’t sound half bad, does it?

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Is Walker’s return imminent?

 

[hlane17]

Top class guy on and off the pitch. Hear he's also been working his magic behind the scenes to bring team unity

 

[WestyReturns]

One of them players who can make it worth admission fee alone. Feel like something is going to happen every time he gets the ball. Been a long time since we've had a player of that quality.

 

[AlfaShrimper]

Seems to be having such a positive affect on the squad.. his quality is so obvious. don't fall in love with a loan player, don't fall in love with a loan player

I learned my lesson with Guy Butters

His contract is up end of this season. Could have him on a perm if he likes it at the club?

Far to high wage

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Far to high wage

The wage to compare our offer against isn’t what his current Orient salary is, it’s what his other contract offers will be. There, we will be competitive unless he decides to ‘do a Cardwell’ if one of the NL moneymen swoops.

I wouldn't like to label it "do a cardwell" I think anyone that gets the kind of salary rise would go elsewhere. Only exceptions are people like jack bridge who is a boyhood fan. Rare to find these days

George turned down FGR to join us this year

You’re assuming ‘do a Cardwell’ is a negative. It isn’t, it’s a perfectly reasonable choice. But it’s a situation where (it appears) someone decides on a particular move largely based on the wage increase. Therefore the right comparison to the situation we might have with Moncur next summer.

I think even without the wages conversation if George continues the way he is going and stays fit for the majority of the year EFL clubs will be lining up
