Anthony Grant

Yes - get him back now. Brown says he wants some more creativity in midfield - well, here's part of the answer.

Creativity? Grant ? Really ?

Id love to have him back but wouldnt say he was creative at all.

Errhhh - there were times when he was the only player really asking for the ball from the back four and could play the ball forward .......... and then he used to get forward and a late run into the box resulted in the ball in the back of the net.

True, his still life art was agricultural and his stone sculpting had little verve or soul .......... so you could be right.

I'd have him back in a heartbeat

Can't see why anyone wouldn't want him back. Very impressive end to 2011/12 season and the Timlin-Grant partnership in midfield worked better than any partnership we've had this season (apart from Tam and Timlin possibly). Would be a big step towards solving this season's midfield problems IMO.

Id certainly say he was a good driving midfielder, but not creative in playing killer passes etc.

Either way he would be an asset in our black hole of a midfield.

Tam and Laird was a great partnership whilst it lasted.

Would love to see Grant back at the Hall.

Officially told to find a new club & Comminges

I'd flipping love Grant to return.

 

[fredheim_holm]

Would be a superb resigning. He's clearly a League 1 player for me, so be surprised if he doesn't get offers from teams there, but if not then who knows. Definitely a quality player. To be fair there's only two teams below Stevenage in the league so unless one of the promoted teams fancy him then we may be in with a shout.

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

Get him in, he is a BLUE! & he has great natural fitness plus is versatile He played left back at Hudders away in an emergency and was sound.

 

[blue pilot]

I'd have him back tomorrow, but suspect he'll want to go elsewhere. Wouldnt surprise me if Gillingham or Peterborough looked at him, or even that lot up the A12.

Chelmsford? Braintree? Surely he would come back to Southend in preference to these clubs?

 

[WESTY_SUFC]

It should be a no brainer to try to tempt him back.

Funny you should say that the rumour is he was having a look round our training ground today, to be honest I don't think we really need him, what with signing Eastmond today as well we have a lot of midfielders unless of course some of them are on their way out!

 

[Ozzer]

Let's not get carried away, Grant's best contribution is winning (falling over and gaining) free kicks on the edge of the penalty area. Not particularly bothered.

 

[turkishm]

Like a lot of players, some good games some bad, but when we replaced him in midfield, i noticed what we were missing. If poss get him back, him and Timlin in midfield imo will make a lot of difference.

 

[danburyshrimper]

Come back Granty !!!!

Southend legend , with surely the most wonderful collection of middle names of any Shrimper .....

Anthony Paul Shaun Andrew Daure Grant

 

[danburyshrimper]

With his versatility it would be like signing 5 new players ... right back , centre back , holding midfield, wide midfield , just behind the front 2

:clap:

 

[OldBlueLady]

I would imagine Adam Barrett has been singing his virtues to Martin Allen.

 

[southchurchblue]

Get him back now!!!
