A real shame!

Not a total surprise?.

 

[OldBlueLady]

Unbelievable. He's actually played for us tonight and then this?

 

[Chalky]

I mean, it shouldn't come as a surprise but only a couple days ago on here some were suggesting him and PB were starting to gel?

Is what it is, if he isn't PBs type of player then it's for the best. Just waiting on ANG now.

Alas nothing shocks me these days, as to how our club operates.

 

[Boreham Blue]

I just can’t believe this

Truly awful decision. The bloke scored 20+ goals two seasons ago in the division we find ourselves in now!!

 

[BedfordShrimper]

It’s very strange as why exactly is he not PB’s ‘cup of tea’. We may never find out the reason but what exactly could he have done to upset PB so much.
I’m disappointed as he would have been a good squad member.

In Phil we trust. Saw nothing from him last year to make me think he’s essential.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Well, that is rather disappointing.

As I said on another post, this constant churning of players is not ideal, is it?

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

seems an odd decision to me. But in Phil we (have to) trust

I’m fine with getting rid of players who aren’t good enough.

 

[overseas shrimper]

Well, he doesn't have to find another club. He can stay at Southend and pick up a wage for doing nothing or the club can try and pay him off. Nice one.

Probably the best player at the club on his day. We will be a weaker team without him.

Was finally looking forward to seeing him play in a team that wasn't getting smashed week in week out.

 

[gatecrasher]

Dare I say it....way to young for Phils liking ?

 

[Loan Shark Linda]

He is under 30 so of course he isn't Phil's cup of tea

I trust PB in that he knows what attributes he wants and that Akinola doesn't fit that bill. He didn't exactly act as our saviour last year, did he? Very much out of favour. Maybe he doesn't pull up enough trees in training.

ANG will also be on the way, I'm sure.

Frankly, whilst I'm not unhappy with the players that have remained, I wouldn't have cared if they had ALL left. We have had a shambolic 2.5 seasons.

A new broom sweeps clean, etc. etc.

We will probably have to pay them off as well. That will put a dent in the budget

I guess tonight’s appearance was for any watching scouts then. Look forward to seeing this striker that will raise eyebrows as his replacement.
