Breaking News Southend United sign Osei Sankofa

Well it is for a centre-half. Both Barrett and Clarke are that height and are frankly short. I am 6'1" and do not consider myself to be tall.
Soccerbase has Barrett at 5' 10 which I believe is true. Those extra two inches make all the difference so Cricko tells me.
 
He's started against all of the big 4: Man U, Chelsea, Southend and Arsenal.

Was sent off against Arsenal after half an hour. Played for Bristol City when Freddy smacked in a wonderful hattrick at Ashton Gate.

No way, I see him often at the local cash point at the paper shop and he's definitely a fair bit taller than me. Might be a shade under 6' but not that much.
 
Maybe he wears heels?

Or maybe OBL has shrunk. just a thought. The truth is that nobody knows, and we can't decide whether Osei Sankofa is our saviour or a colossal waste of wages until we find out! someone get a tape measure to AB, stat...

at 5'7..i'm a midget!!

and welcome to our newest player, I suspect a back up player to replace some of our squad thats gone this close season. Age isnt an issue, look at leon cort and leo roget..hardly old boys.

Roget and Cort weren't old, but neither were the defences that they were part of any good.
 
Ive never seen him play so wont be making any judgement untill his played a number of games for us. Lets hope he turns out to be a real good signing.
 
should be an ok signing - presumably a squad player - again a young player who should get better (hopefully) - in all honesty, was Hunt going to get any better??
He must be pretty good to have started the Premiership games that he did start - can't believe some of the negativity already - if he was a 30 year old from Div 2 with 200 games then I too might be a bit concerned but surely he is going to be one for the future - welcome Osei and good luck to you.

Anyone know what has happened to Grant - has he been released by Chelsea - in which case why have we not signed him??
 
Nope Grant hasnt been released to my knowledge, hopefully we do get him though as i though he was a very good player. He may still be on holliday which could hold up the transfer if it is in the pipeline.
 
You win this round
