That is a really bloody stupid post.[b said:Quote[/b] (Technician @ Oct. 28 2004,09:46)]
How the mighty have fallen... Torquay are even looking to buy him if he does well and to be honest, it's got to be another step down for the man that was "our top goal scorer last season!".
Incidentally Torquay claim he scored 26 goals for usbut unless he's been back to Southend, played and scored another goal without us noticing, it should be 25... or are Torquay trying to boost Connie's confidence? fat chance!
The question is: why would Connie want to go to Torquay? granted, they are in League 1 but I guess their stadium is half the size of ours which is bound to restrict their spending power, so how will they be able to afford his outlandish wage demands?
Welcome to the real world Connie!
Yea, I've got nothing against him any more. If he'd gone to Posh and bagged a load of goals, I'd have been more ****ed...[b said:Quote[/b] (steveh1510 @ Oct. 28 2004,09:54)]Good luck to him, I hope he does well.

Everyone has differing opinions, but the simple fact is Constantine "claimed" he wanted to stay at Southend right up until he left the club in May, but in reality he never even wanted to fulfill his contract and was looking for a way out back in December. Yes, I agree that he wanted to maximise his wage potential! who wouldn't... but the way in which he went about it compared to Cort was like chalk and cheese.[b said:Quote[/b] (Benfleetshrimp @ Oct. 28 2004,14:43)]I really must learn not to rise to these idiotic posts.
For the last time,
Imagine this scenario, You support Southend but play football for Northampton Town. Apart from playing one season for Northampton Town you have no other connection with them. Your contract expires. Another club in League 1 comes in for you. They offer you a contract playing football at a higher level on alot more money.
Northampton Town eventually end up offering you a contract but its far lower than the league 1 offer.
You decide to further your career and sign for the league 1 side.
Does this make you a mercenary?
Does this mean you think you can walk on water?
Like hell it does.
Explain to me Technician and Olviss why it is funny to see a player who arguably single handedly kept us up last season with his goals struggling to find form now?
Barry's got a DVD just of Leon's goals? Bizarre.[b said:Quote[/b] (Matt the Shrimp @ Nov. 08 2004,11:30)]I was looking at a DVD of Leon's goals on Saturday
