Transfer News, Gossip & Speculation Adam Crowther Signs

[SUFCbaldy]

He's got exactly the same speaking voice as Peter Crouch

Just going to post the same

 

[Gt Yarmouth Shrimper]

Blimey, never saw that one coming.

Another apology due to @londonshrimper.

This is another one of the THREE (not 5) that JS (not the consortium) said would come in ahead of the Chesterfield game when the embargo is lifted. Two of them have arrived now and one has gone to Daggers.

Can’t confess to having seen him play, but on paper looks an excellent signing. Big, tall centre half, who is comfortable on the ball as well. Will provide a threat at set pieces, if our quality of delivery improves.

A big target on the whiteboard, and one that can have a big tick next to it, instead of it having to be replaced.

Good work from the footballing department.

John Still…… worth his weight in ****ing gold!

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

At last we have a central defender that is likely to score a goal

 

[TJC]

If you look carefully, you can see the shadow of where it said "Powell" on the back

Would be like a crop top on a 6'4" defender

 

[damien]

If we can add a couple of forwards to the mix in the next week or two, I think we have a nice foundation there to piece together a good run in. Exciting signings with one eye on the future just what we’ve been craving for years.

 

[Tinks]

Welcome to the club young man
At last we can start to breath again

 

[Smiffy]

Seems a nice, level headed lad.

 

[The Original Tribal Chief]

Didn’t he say it was a done deal and then Crowther played 90 minutes for Kings Lynn 2 days later?

And he's now signed for us. Not really seeing your point.

 

[TJC]

Wonder where this leaves Kabongolo? Not yet on a permanent deal

 

[meerkat54]

WHERE DID HE GET A HOME SHIRT FROM??!!

Shirt must of been snatched off a 12 year old. It looks far too small.

 

[ShrimperStats]

Very happy to get this one over the line (someone who I mentioned in the summer)! Crowther will add great depth to an already strong defence, is comfortable on the ball, tall, strong, and effective in both penalty areas.

With Crowther’s arrival, we’ve now got very good depth across the back three:
Taylor, Crowther, (Lomas)
Kensdale, Kabongolo
Ralph

This depth will give us a level of tactical flexibility that Kev’s rarely been afforded so far this season due to the transfer embargo.

Full scout report from me to come before the weekend.

John Still…… worth his weight in ****ing gold!

For sure....and worth just as much is whoever persuaded him to stay during our the darkest hours.

He surely could have found employment elsewhere, and, at some stage must have wondered if it was worth staying.

spot on as always BW. Do you think a striker before Saturday is likely or might we have to wait a little longer?

 

[Pak66]

Cracker Jack !

 

[Cricko]

Are we going to pitch in and sponsor his home or away kit? I seem to recall something about it.

The home shirt has already gone, we are inline for any other signing as we are about third on their list for sponsoring new players, although they have to satisfy another first for Mooneys departure.

I think we will be extremely lucky to get a home player this season and think we may go for an away one as it makes little difference to the prizes on offer.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Excellent news - welcome to the club.

Gives the management team options or at the very least the possibility of resting players with niggles/knocks/dead legs etcetera.

 

[Bluegoose]

I have already asked the club..awaiting a response.

We don't hang about on here.

Well, if we do get a positive, I'm in for one which I assume will be 10 quid. Me and the good lady are away for the next 6 weeks in Asia so can send it in advance before we leave.

That decision to join Daggers isn’t ageing well is it?
