January Transfer Window Thread 2020

[Clarky176]

Bradley is a very decent player, he played a loan spell with us in 2013, he is very quick, which is not surprising really his mother is former Olympic sprinter Sonia Lannaman.

Surely he isn't that good if its talking about him going to non-league? Seems to have fallen off since 2013

Gillingham supporting mate (not a close one obviously) of mine just told me he was s***e for them, could be a case of things just not fitting and working out i guess, or he could just be s***e

Berra and Glenn Whelan been released from Hearts. Bit old, but might offer cover options and experience for the remainder of the season...

NO MORE PLAYERS FROM SCOTLAND

You don't have to worry. Every season on here over 100 players are mentioned, but normally only 1 or 2 actually sign.

Dear Sol can play football Manager for real and genuinely doesnt have to worry about the finances personally. I cant help wondering if allowed to, whether Sol would like to consort himself? just chip in a bit?, Sols alleged £2m a year contract for 4 years from Spurs to Arsenal has also contributed to Sols skills in developing his and Fionas £50m+ Property Empire, Fiona is the daughter of Mr. Barratt of Barratt homes.but as an interior designer has done really well herself
So my new plan is generous Sol dips into his pockets just a tiny bit to help pay for some of the wages and a few new starlets and Barratts contemplates the purchase of our Stadium and chips in on the new one.
Any way let the imagination run wild,

Sol is suing Macclesfield for unpaid wages so I can't see him agreeing to a pay cut in order to increase the transfer budget.

Ian Holloway has just purchased £100,000 worth of shares in Grimsby Town. Perhaps Mr Martin could persuade Sol to invest with the promise of a return when the new ground is built, although from what I read on here he might have to be very patient.

IIRC, Ron did that once before, with Phil Brown.

Didn’t end well.

Oooooh, now there’s a can of worms I’d love to open up publicly...

I wonder what he’s been up to recently?

Unsurprisingly I'd never heard of Tara Brady so I googled him. I found and read an article in your Echo from the time he left Southend. The comments from supporters could have come straight off this message-board today. That article was EIGHT years old. I begin to understand why there is so much cynicism on here.

Well if you knew Tara as well as I do, I can assure you it was a mess he was eventually pleased to get out of. Believe me he is no fool but even RM had him going for a few months.

He seems to be doing ok these days, funny that.

He has played over 100 games for Gillingham since 2015 so he can't be that bad! I think he fell out of favour when that bully Steve Evans arrived.

Not a fan of Evans either, and yes he has, if thats how many he played then good for him, just passing on what my mate said and that was he had been s***e for them

Yeah, I heard things got a little tasty when Tara Brady complained about broken promises, and wanted some of his money back. He invested in the club and the stadium rumoured to be 150K, and had problems getting paid a salary, even tho he did a really good job at Southend. I know he cut the clubs expenses quite a bit at that time. Ron paid him back in the end. He used to travel on supporters coaches and sit with them. Some of you might even know that he used to spar in the boxing ring with Bilel Mohsni.

Yep. Only recently been told about him getting his money back though. That’s an interesting story, but as it’s not mine to tell, I will refrain.

I remember the black-eye that Mohsni gave him in sparring. Bil was a ****ing lunatic.
