Latest Rumours January Sales Thread

Probably wants to go to a club where he can pick his wages up each week lol ,,,,,,,,sorryyyyy

 

[RomfordB92]

Interesting. However, if it's true then its still speculation that his reasons were anything to do with Southend or our offer at all. It may be personal, family or other reasons (such as a desire to move to a specific different club or part of the country).

Very true, personal reasons such as family/location would probably be a huge factor, especially considering it's only a temporary move without the security of a 2/3 year contract to get roots down etc.

To be fair, Colin Daniel has very much been a northern based player throughout his career.

 

[Mad Cyril]

According to Alan Swann (Peterborough Journo) Colin Daniel (LB) turned down a move to Southend. Obviously not the defender CP is talking about, but interesting to see a fellow L1 defender couldn't/wouldn't agree terms. Maybe harder for CP than some realise/

Maybe he has watched too many fact based Essex Boys films or remembers Mark Fowler contracting HIV at Peter Pans?

Perhaps his sat nav is knackered?

There's me thinking we had it all mapped out.

I read the report quickly and thought it said "gynecological reasons"

Or maybe a morrissey fan who doesn't like Sundays

Concerns me that LB seems to be a priority and so vocally. Hendrie made a mistake on the weekend but last couple of months he has been a solid enough L1 LB. We have some gaping holes in the team and need at least 2x forwards, so let’s get cracking with that...

Can’t see the value in wasting any budget on LB.

if We need a new left back when Hendrie is our only option, Hendrie needs moving on.

May be CP sees Hendrie as better in a central 3 with a left wing back in place

Mansfield Town have signed Charlton Athletic striker Nicky Ajose on loan ...

No idea if we were interested or not - but been linked to him before.

Perhaps as Ben Coker's contract ends in the summer it is of value?

 

[Thundersley Blue]

Good point but Daniels is over 30, so surely would have been a short term measure.

Think he would’ve been excellent up top with Cox. Shame!

Then get someone in on a perm, not a loan from a L1 player that can’t get a game at his own club.

1 up top and 5 at the back? No thank you.

 

[Jim Levenstein]

On the basis of what?
He's had one good season with Swindon 3 seasons ago. His career is littered with unsuccessful loan spells and that's continued since he got a move to Charlton. Bullet dodged I think.

Every signing is a gamble, always liked him and thought he’s played well against us.
