Breaking News Ashley Nathaniel-George contract extension

Forums New posts
Nice to see us acting proactively with regards to player contracts. This, and a quick signing with that X Factor fella, and I barely recognise this club.

One thing made me chuckle in the Echo story. MM says, "I don't like singling players out, but... ", which he said recently in the story about Acquah.

That MM. He loves singling out players.

But in a good way- not like a Phil Brown way?
 
Last game was his best performance for the club. Would like to see him adding assist and goals to his name.
 
So so pleased about this. The way he put Tom Eastman on his a*s in the first half is enough for a contract extension. Top player is Ash.
 
Not seen a player at Southend for a while who keeps the ball as much as him. I’d wager he has some of the best ball retention stats in the league
 
Does anybody know if we paid Crawley a fee for him at all?
They must have valued him as I thought he signed a new deal with them at the back end of last season?
 
Cracking player. Quick, skillful and direct.

Exactly what we need. I just worry on cabbage patch pitches and old clogger type defenses, that he will get kicked to bits.

If Walsh and Egbri can compete for the opposite side of the pitch then it bodes well for our counter attack style.

We seem to break on teams incredibly quickly and aren't taking any chances at the back.

Long may it continue.
 
I wonder if this is because he's hit certain criteria (10 league and cup appearances, excluding mickey mouse cup) or because we were previuosly unable to offer a longer term deal because of the embargo?

All our signings registered under the embargo were short term: Hobson for a year was the longest, Macca was for 6 months, all the loanees were until January. In contrast, whilst we signed Akinola until 2022 we couldn't get him registered until the embargo was lifted despite registering other players in that time frame.

Either way it's good news as he looks a serious talent.

Hasn't Akinola signed until the end of next season too?
