Striker Set For Medical Tomorrow.

Forums New posts
So, we nearly have :moon:, just :pig: to go. It would make typing post match comments a bit easier.
 
We are also taking ex-Man Utd RB Richard Eckersley on trial. Spent last few years in MLS playing for Toronto and New York Red Bulls.
 
I wouldn't be that bothered if Pig signed to be honest. I will always be thankful for his goal in the final but never rated him that much.

True but on occasions he looked a bit lazy to me and what with Corr leaving we need a team of hard workers IMO. Also looks like Deegan is asking for a bit too much money at the moment judging by Browns comments.
 
Lazy??

Pigott worked his socks off for us. The work rate of him and Cassidy was one of their strengths.
 
Striker David Mooney set for medical at Southend United

DAVID Mooney will undergo a medical with Southend United today as he moves closer to signing for the Shrimpers.

Surprised by some of the reaction on here already, before he's even kicked a ball for us (if he signs!). I think he's a decent signing. Orient fans are hating and crying "overrated" because he's deserting a sinking ship and seems to think (rightly) that he can do better next season than staying with them. He'd have been too good for a drop into L2 in my opinion. He scored 10 goals in a relegated team in a season where none of their players realy performed, and scored 20 the season before when they made the playoffs. He's proven at L1 level, he has goals in him and he's definitely an upgrade on Corr. Just the sort of signing we should be making to state our intent on our return to L1.

Now for Wordsworth please!

Agree with what you say, but a definite upgrade? Thats a strong statement and time will tell on that.

Any good?

I wandered lonely as a cloud
 
Also glad to see in Mooney, Wordsworth and maybe Eckersley that we are casting our net out wider rather than Brown reeling off the names of some loanees we've had over the last few seasons and telling us that he wants to re-sign them!

Only time will tell if he is an upgrade on Corr... His finishing certainly seems better but then he is a different type of player, not the targetman type like Barry.

Not a direct replacement IMO. Mooney doesn't seem like a targetman but more like a poacher.
 
I'm just off to go and register the domain moonpig.com as a tribute site for hopefully next season's up top pairing.

It is a strong statement and time will tell. However, and obviously I can't say for 100% certain, but I really think Corr would have struggled to make an impact in L1 - L2 is his level IMO. Mooney however is proven at L1 level in the last 2 seasons so I would strongly believe him to be an upgrade.

I think people remember the two games against us the other year in the LDV, he was awful in front of goal. If he was an in form striker we wouldn't of got to Wembley all the chances came to him. The year after he hit 19+.

Cant judge him until he plays for us as he might suit our style of football

I'm hoping he might cause a change to our style. Get the ball into his feet!!!
