Nonsense. Great piece of business! Bought him off the back of a good run of performances in the FA cup godknowshowlongago and despite some very sparse useful performances, I think he is ultimately back at his level.

I would be very surprised to see him turn out in a Southend shirt again tbh

 

[Shrimper Brownie]

Echo saying that CP didn’t manage to get a replacement deal over the line in time. Unbelievable

 

[Andy_S]

We’ve come out of the window with less strikers than we went into it with. It’s an interesting approach, I’ll give them that.

 

[Barry.C]

117 signings during the window to league 1 clubs. Top movers...........Shrewsbury 10 in, Rochdale and Scunthorpe 8 each, Walsall 7, Portsmouth and Coventry 6, Peterborough Sunderland, Bradford, Gillingham, Afc Wombles all brought 5 in. 70 loan signings, 6 clubs brought in between 4 and 6 loanees

CP's article confirming Theo's departure also confirmed we were unable to get in a replacement on time. Unbelievable. Must have been for financial reasons that Theo was allowed to leave. He is on a very decent wage so it wouldn't surprise me.

 

[The Big Dady]

Blues were unable to complete a deal for a replacement for Theo before the transfer window closed at 11pm.

Absolutely brainless decision if we don’t have a replacement for him.

But at least Powell used to play for us I guess

 

[The Eternal Optimist]

I think we had the wrong Deal Sheets

 

[AustScullyPriorPowell]

I wonder who this L1 striker was !!

Jamie Mackie or Danny Hylton maybe!

 

[Shrimper]

Well, that's not good.

Means our strikers are Cox, Humphrys, Ba, Wabo, Kelman.

A youth player and two u-23's who haven't been tested in the 1st team yet...

 

[Shrimper]

So, which strikers are available on free transfers?

 

[AustScullyPriorPowell]

Powell, you're no manager letting that happen!!

 

[Andy_S]

Well, that's not good.

Means our strikers are Cox, Humphrys, Ba, Wabo, Kelman.

A youth player and two u-23's who haven't been tested in the 1st team yet...

Ba and Wabo may as well no exist; they won’t be getting any minutes.

So, which strikers are available on free transfers?

Nile Ranger?
