Mooney

[Rob49]

Re-signs for Leyton Orient. 2 year deal.

 

[danburyshrimper]

Yup , and he is 12 years older than the next oldest player there !!!!! He'll do well at that level

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Cooee! Johnny Stokes are you there?

Not sure about that. As far as I'm aware they still do use the off-side rule in the Conference.

 

[FarmdogSUFC]

Too good for that level IMO but a great move for him.

 

[tottenham541]

Will end up top scorer in that league:hilarious:

 

[Napster]

Corr rumoured to join them.

 

[RobM]

Not sure about that. As far as I'm aware they still do use the off-side rule in the Conference.

Remaining upright is also a requirement.

Ohhhhh cockends.

 

[OldBlueLady]

Nice bloke, and seems to be very well thought of, so wish him good luck!

 

[MK Shrimper]

Ohhhhh cockends.

Is that a team in the non-league nobody cares conference? I, much like of the sensible population, don't give it much attention. :smile:

 

[SeaSideDoughnut]

Orient have a huge rebuild on their hands. Hopefully Dave can find the sort of form he had with them before.

 

[Ricey]

He will end up managing them one day.

 

[GrumpyBlue]

Probably found his level :winking:

 

[londonblue]

Personally I think he was a bit hard done by here. He seemed to play most of his matches as a lone striker which didn't suit him. When he played alongside people like Hunt or Cox you got to see that he has a pretty good footballing brain, and that he can play a bit.

That said, he's not as good as Ranger or MAF, but one of those two isn't available at present!

I know they get through a lot of "managers" at LO but just ONE day would be a record; however if he got a two year contract and big pay off..............................

Yep, definitely said the same, he was never a "lone" striker, he liked dropping deep or playing wide at times to feed in to a partner as well as play off one.

Does this statement (highlighted) mean that you see him as better than Theo?
Not IMO, DM would have been 5th in the striking pecking order and that place ought to be for a youngster learning his trade; David needs to be playing games and a good season (15 goals) in the Conference will be expected.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

All the best to him. As said, some of the time he was up alone and that is not his strength.

I found his falling over (and not getting a foul or penalty) when it was better to stay upright annoying and his failure to stay onside was so fustrating .............. but he did try and I, for one, hope he does well at Orient. :thumbsup:

I think you're reading too much into it. Firstly I forgot about Theo and secondly I don't really equate the two as (to me) they're different types of players. I do agree that Mooney is better off somewhere else as it sitting on the bench (which he would inevitably do) wouldn't do him any favours.
