I think Ben El-Mhanni was very (very) highly rated a few years back and was one of the players who exposed Peter Beardsley's behaviour at Newcastle.

Deon Moore and Yasin Ben El-Mhanni.

Neither appear to have much league experience or set the world alight to be fair

Yasin Ben El-Mhanni Looks like he could have a bit about him

Deon Moore’s record last season seemed very underwhelming then I remembered that NL N and S didn’t play full seasons last year because of Covid which will go some way to explaining why he played so little.

No harm in us giving them trials but I wouldn’t be expecting too much. The winger in particular could be intriguing though.

I think they're just being used to give others a rest in the games.

This type of comment seems never ending to me.
Do you really think anyone who has 'set the world alight' would consider signing for us ?
We all love our team but we have had two consecutive relegations , a bad reputation for paying on time , a bad reputation for embargoes, a bad reputation for a Chairman and a Manager , although ex Prem is probably rolling the dice for the last time- wake up and smell the strong coffee we have been brewing for a while now !!

We could unearth the next Seedy Njie you never know.

And yet PB brings up league experience when talking about them in the article.

My point is. They have got any league experience and very little non league experience.

I get that we are low in the pecking order but lots of games at national league level would be a start.

Might get our tax paid and accounts done on time if we did.

Deon Moore was with Michael Timlin at Dulwich Hamlet last season - I imagine Brown has had a chat with him or maybe Tims had recommended him.

Cocko also had him at Brizzle Rovers

Yasin is very tricky and direct, not afraid to run at defences. Could be a great player if managed correctly.

PB has nothing to lose by giving them a trial ,we shouldnt be too critical, before we criticise lets have a look at them,god willing we can unearth a gem,if not we lose nothing.

Thanks for this information, Moley. It is interesting that very talented players do not always fulfill their potential, and sometimes it simply takes a change of club and manager to spark it. Let's hope Yasin can put it together at Southend.

Any more permanent signings in the pipeline? Is there still lots of activity behind the scenes?

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

Hard to say, these players only had played few games in last 4 seasons, they more like Great Wakering Rovers level.

He was at Newcastle few years back..... from what iv seen on YouTube he does have something about him. Be interesting to see how he does in pre season. Could be bit of wild card signing.
