[hlane17]

[palexander]

TC8 on Twitter are saying someone's a done deal but they're not saying who.

in or out?

 

[Shrimper]

When's our released list finally going live?

Well, it has to be today. Deadline is 23:59 tonight

 

[Medway Blue]

Big if true

Who do we think? Can't find the Twitter handle anyway!

 

[Whispering Bob]

He's good on his day but never properly settled anywhere and when he has a bad day it's a total stinker. Would rather look elsewhere myself.

Yep, had this from a Daggers fan; "He was pretty underwhelming until recently. He's good in the air, so a target man".

Someone on the Facebook group reckons Brown was watching Solihull Moors in the week. Rumoured to be watching 6ft 9in, 20-year-old centre forward Kyle Hudlin.

8 goals in 31 games in the conference last season, including this absolute belter at 04:25:

I believe thats the deadline for the players and EFL to know. For informing us on the website they dont have a deadline. However, given there is a push for more open / transparent communication between the club and fans you would hope that they would release this on the website today

I don't see us signing anyone until June at the earliest. Lots of time

True but I don't think a club has ever not announced who has been released. Would be weird not to

It would be yes, but did we do it on the same day as the deadline in the past. I cant remember to be honest

As for signings we can agree things with players but not register them till 1st of June i think, so nothing will be official till then.

It is good that we are looking at players now, but things always take time i guess

Given there is no transfer window in the NL is this necessarily true?

Very strange Jevani Brown. Scored goals during that short purple patch, including the hat-trick against us. Looked a bit special and had clubs sniffing around, including Peterborough(Boy do they love and get some goal scorers), Ipswich and Norwich. Then he couldn't score for toffee, and apparently has looked absolutely hopeless. Confidence, injury, I don't know.

Jevani was kicked out of Peterborough when he was young due to a off the pitch incident, he then went non league for about 4 years and almost left football altogether, but eventually after scoring lots of goals for St Neots he was signed by Cambridge with bigger clubs eyeing him up to. We paid a lot of money for his services, John McGreal said he was one of the best players available in league two at the time, but it never worked out, he was a failure from the start really. As News says there were things going on that affected his game. Callum Harriott has off field issues too, they may be in the news eventually but I suspect that is why we let him go.

What part that they take time? Or the deadline? I believe there is still a cut off point at which they cannot sign players just like the old days before windows.

Just giving you something to talk about MS, lots of your peeps seem to be taking an interest, maybe some of them will end up at Southend?

We are rumoured to be interested in him too, in fact half the EFL have been linked with him, agent talk no doubt!

Sorry, I mean necessarily having to wait until June 1 to register

 

[Colchester and proud!]

It's all about ££££££, they can't afford him (injury prone might also be a factor)
If they could afford him, I'm sure he'll be offered a new contract

Wrong, we can afford him, it is off field issues that were against him.

He's been posting on here for many years and for most of us is a welcome visitor. Not sure where you've been if you haven't noticed him before.
