Latest Rumours January Sales Thread

[MisterStubbs]

We're close to signing a striker without a club apparently.

Who, when?

 

[SeaSideDoughnut]

Who, when?

You forgot why.

 

[MisterStubbs]

Jay Simpson has signed for Orient, it won’t be him.

Very decent signing for the O’s. He has been training with them for 6 weeks and lives close by.

I hope they didn't watch the game tonight. They might change their mind last minute and then Ron will issue another statement blaming everyone but himself.

 

[stewart]

Its Powell that picks them ,rOn just pays the bill, our midfield all Powell signings yukkkkkkkk!

Somebody picked Doncasters 5 excellent loanees

Yes somebody picked Shrewsbury's 5 excellent loanees last season. Where are they this season ?

As for your other claim about Scunny and their January signings. It turns out its their players coming back from injury that have made the difference as only one of the new boys has made any impact.,.....Shame our injuries are so long term otherwise we might be doing better.

I dont think I can agree with you

Firstly every football Manager says its about the DEPTH of the squad, including our Sir CP himself, perhaps you dont agree with him? The depth of the squad creates significant competition as well as gives a considerable fillip to morale, and ups the anti and enthusiasm in training. Im sorry this point has eluded you

Secondly loanee or not its about the Quality you pick, In this case it seems Doncaster were very good and identify the quality and then going and getting it, whereas we were sadly scrambling around on the last day this window and manage to lose two forwards and gain one

We have a bigger squad than some other clubs. Its just about 13 of them are injured.

You cant just sign players without releasing others unless your Sunderland......You cant release injured players and if a parent club want their loanee striker back so they can sell him to another club, they can...…..Or have those points eluded you?

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Reality check from rigsby…..like it or not....

We ain't Premier League, pots of cash, tv money, full houses, advertisers fighting for space.....oh....and a mahoosive injury list...

I rest, (unfortunately), my case....

 

[Harry Bullocks]

ps...welcome to another roller coaster season that is Southend United...

I'll still be here next season...

 

[Willis]

It’s gone quiet on that incoming striker...

 

[RHB]

It’s gone quiet on that incoming striker...

Under the radar mate, same as everything we do. Just like a stealth bomber and probably just as slow on the turn!

 

[MountainDrew]

So when is Barry signing??

 

[Ricey]

It’s gone quiet on that incoming striker...

That’s because it has fallen through..... ****ing embarrassing!

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

In fairness what use would a striker who has barely kicked a ball all season be? Unleash the genius of Wabo.

 

[misty01]

Ricey you know this as definite? You got any names to prove this? Or is this speculation that it did fall through as nothing has come from the club or the echo in the last 24-48hrs?
