Contracts and loan deals

What about Harry Crawford? Any news on him signing yet?

I'm sure I read in notes in programme for Stockport game that he has signed a 2-year deal though I've not seen the traditional gurning pic of player with pen in hand on OS yet.
 
i heard we might be getting scott vernon back i hope so we dont lol worst player i've ever seen

Biggest exaggeration I've ever seen. He's not my cup of tea but he's not even in the same league as the likes of Rio Alderton, Tony Richards, Jason Harris and Dean Holness, to pluck a few from the top of my head.

Rio Alderton is without doubt the worst player I have ever seen in a Southend United shirt. I just shudder at the thought of it.
 
Based on the info above, the position appears to be as follows:

Under contract - 10 players (1 GK, 2 Def, 4 Mid, 3 Fwd)

Mildenhall 2011 (3year deal 2008)

Francis 2011 (3yr deal 2008)
Barrett 2012 (4.5 year deal 2008)

McCormack 2011 (3yr deal 2008)
Grant 2012 (2.5 yr deal Oct 09)
Christophe 2011 (2.5 yr deal Jan 2009)
O'Keefe 2011 (3yr deal Nov 2008 )

Laurent 2011 (2.5yr deal Dec 2008)
Paterson 2012 (2.5yr deal Jan 2010)
Spencer 2010 / 2011 (6mth deal Jan 2010 - but option for another year)


Out of contract - 5 players (1 GK, 2 Def, 2 Mid)

Kelvin Jack 2010 ("end of season", Jan 2010)

Sankofa 2010 (2yr deal 2008)
Herd 2010 (2yr deal 2008)

Moussa 2010 (1yr extension, 2009)
Scannell 2010 (2.5 yr deal Jan 2008)


Loanees - 3 players

Malone
Baldwin
Vernon
M'Voto

I've not counted the "kids" - Milner, Woodyard and George Smith - since they're essentially still youth teamers who have been given a first team number, rather than bona fide members of the first team.

Of those out of contract, we'd presumably pick up fees for Herd and Moussa since they're too young to leave on Bosmans. It's therefore interesting to note that, of all the players that people are talking about leaving this summer, all of them would in all likelihood command a fee.

Still... 10 contracted first team players. Not ideal, is it.

Matt

Good stuff, Matt. This should definitely be pinned and updated somewhere.

Crawford has signed his 2 year deal and we now obviously know about Herd, so they can be added to the contracted list.

And Jack can be removed....

need to shake up the midfield. too stale. some decent players, but mccormack, moussa, grant, christophe hav just taken us down - we need to inject some new talent. 2 out 2 in, i'd suggest. if it were me, i'd want to keep grant and moussa.
 
out of all those i can see at least 4/5 of them wont wanna be their,
and i can't see any new faces arriving till all the other clubs have got their squads sorted
 
Ive had a thought why dont the club approach sunday league players an get them to play for em at least for each player that joined that way we would gain there £40 signing on fee an £4 a match, it would make money for the club an i bet people would love to do it i know i would, there is plenty of talent around our local leagues an its cheap it could be our only saviour at this rate lol

5 forwards, 4 midfielders, 2 defenders... Luggy is obviously very old fashioned! We'll go 2-3-5 next season, with one of our spare mids (I vote JFC) going in goal. Marvellous.

I can't help but be utterly depressed looking at that squad.

Could a mod delete my duplicate post please.

Not yet it isn't Matt. Gilbert, Corr, Moussa and Spencer have not officially signed on yet.

This is my line up to start v Stockport. We have just enough! Looks solid and well balanced don't you think?

Paterson
Christophe Herd
Grant
Laurent O'Keefe
Crawford
