Can we sign Wilkinson from Orient.
He is ready for the move to a bigger club.
Sadly no, but he looked different class

Have we not learned anything?
Injury prone 33 year old and probably high earner.
There was chat about the striker had been injured, he returned from a long injury lay off in November. Local lad as well, seems to add up.
Ah yes apologies, winger. Although we do seem to sign a lot of wingers. We need someone in the middle to benefit from the crosses.Ricky isn’t a striker though?
Probably- all depends on preferred formation- ours seems to be anything but two up front.We already have 3 wingers. Do we need a 4th?
Its a tough one. In our position the only way we will get proven players of L1 quality who can both score and is if there is something else deriving the move- location, injury troubles, unfinished business, a mix of all three.Cant do any harm in signing holmes to the end of the season. He does bring quality but hasnt had great luck with injuries. Could be good bit of business!
Isn't he a southend fan? Or have I got that 1 wrong.Its a tough one. In our position the only way we will get proven players of L1 quality who can both score and is if there is something else deriving the move- location, injury troubles, unfinished business, a mix of all three.
A 100% proven fit Holmes who was playing regularly the last couple of seasons would be way way out our grasp. If he lived or was from anywhere north of Watford probably same.
If the deal is manageable and there is reasonable confidence on fitness at our level it might be an opportunity difficult to turn down. Who knows. He has at least been playing of late so should at least be match fit?
According to Soccerbase he has made 11 appearances in the last two months alone.Think hes way past it sadly , 5 games in last two years. Tried to get fit to play at Gillingham last year and Northampton previously couldnt make it at either, didnt play at all for Gillingham, they also wrote similar positive things to us thinking it just might work out, Also didnt happen at Oxford prior to that because of injuries, how many examples do we need? thats 3 loans , none worked
But good player in his day without doubt
Heard its a triple bid- Ricky Holmes, Paul Benson and the man from Busted, as they were all born in Southend.
He was an unused sub v Sunderland on Saturday.According to Soccerbase he has made 11 appearances in the last two months alone.
