Gordon was a permanent, not a loan. Just saying… 
Sign a player for a position we are desperately short in…not an attacking role…
“Hes only scored 2 goals”
Amazing 
Welcome. A really solid signing imo

Welcome aboard Lewis, nice to have you with us.
Ability comes first, and I’d assume he is far better than Comley, I’d hope so anyway.
Why do you assume that he is better than Comley? He had a lot of promise when he was younger, but his record recently would not suggest that he is a definite starter at this level now.
He is still only 22. Moved plenty in recent times on loan.
Stirk was playing for Bromley in non league at that age. Comley was playing non league at age of 26…
To be fair though… he isn’t Zidane.

You don’t really know anything about him any more than I do though, do you?
He has a decent history for someone so young.
A quick scan on Facebook and quite a few Salford fans saying “A negative back passer” “Shit” “Thank god we didn’t sign him”
I’ll wait and see how he does, and not just pretend I know.
I am glad we have got someone in that position.

Because he would have to be really cack to be worse than Comley. I don’t know anything about him, I am just hoping he can do a good job, more than expecting.
I reached out to a good friend of mine who has connections to the corporate side of Tranmere Rovers and various other associated businesses on the Wirral as well as being a long time season ticket holder up there. I’ll quote what he sent me below about Lewis Warrington.
“That’s a good signing. He reminded me a lot of James Wallace when he was with us but just needed to bulk up a little at the time. He definitely has Championship potential. I was actually speaking to his agent the other day as Lewis was in our place last week and mentioned he wanted to come back closer to home. He does a bit of the box to box midfield role but he’s far better suited to being the deep lying playmaker centre midfield role, collecting the ball on half way, driving it forward, that sort of thing.”
So my take away from his comments is that he’s more in the mould of Stirk than he is Comley and we also seem to have beaten out Tranmere for his signature despite him being from Birkenhead. I did reply to my mate saying “To be fair to him, Walsall is still closer to home than London” so it does make me wonder what kind of deal we’ve given him to make him choose us over his home town team.

Tough thing about football is - we never know
You can sign a player with proven pedigree and he just doesn’t work out and you can sign a non league player or a player who has been struggling elsewhere and it turns out to be amazing for both parties.
I was pointing out that using the metric of goals scored for a holding midfieldler is flawed and being used to have a pop for no good reason. On paper at least, its a decent addition where an addition was desperately needed

I assume he thought he was a forward, I had no idea either until I read the report about him.
I’m reasonably happy with the transfer activity,both in and out. I really do wish that Trivela/WFC would make it clear to fans what their definition of an " exciting signing" is though.

Welcome Lewis

An exciting signing to me would be someone like Sarcevic.
Experienced and proven league two player with endless promotions. Everyone would feel far more confident about the next 12 months with someone like him as the heartbeat.
However the club’s current model makes that signing redundant with his age and the wage’s he’d asked for.
I know Flint has come in but he’s right at the end of his career and Midlands based so suits him like Adomah at this point.
Getting in likes of Sarcevic would show the club expects promotion rather than hoping for it at least.
Failing that getting Hall back on a permanent would be amazing but again very unlikely…perhaps could happen in January if the club are firmly in top 7 and he remains on the fringes at Blues or a league one loan dosen’t work out.

On a permanent because he was likely cheap.
Couldn’t get into the Orient team or even Salford last year even though Salford were pants.
I’m not down though because at the forum we were promised big and exciting signings incoming and there’s no way this ownership would gaslight the fans
Have a day off ffs.

He started a fair amount at Salford?
Orient had guys like Ethan Galbraith in midfield who has just joined Swansea so tough area to break into for team who narrowly lost the league one play off final.
Would be like Solihull signing Alfie Chang and their fans moaning he couldn’t get in the Walsall team for most of his time on loan here.
