Jay Simpson and Ricky Holmes training with Blues

[Murkey_Mouse]

A little bird tells me that Ricky signed yesterday.

Can't reveal source so don't ask. But watch this space.

I know Ricky Holmes cousin as we always go and watch SUFC in West Stand, would be awesome to watch his own cousin saving us from non league by being a hero as RH is an SUFC through & through.

Very much doubt Ranger would be able to play more than 20 minutes. Long way off match fitness... However, a fired up Nile against tiring defenders? Sim did rather well coming off the bench - he could do the same.

(If he signs, of course).

He's been training with us for two months going through effective a full pre-season fitness programme plus he did some work with Spalding before that. And remember he's not working his way back from a long term injury either. So suspect he could do a good 45-60 minutes. But we shall see..

cant see why so called fans are saying we will be taking on lame ducks . Maccer was the returning hero .He hadnt played for a long while but he was given the chance and although injured he wares the blue heart on his sleeve .I can not see Holmes or ranger being any less as commited to the cause

This isn't true, he'd started in the League 2 play off final for Northampton 2 and a bit months before we signed him. Whilst he was released after that match Northampton were letting him train with them until he found another club.

Ricky Holmes would give us an extra attacking wise, he is an SUFC fan too, much as all of his family’s is an shrimpers. Who going to say no to be an hero for the club that they support by saving SUFC from the drop.

Reckon this Kaylen Hinds lad that's currently on trial could be some player; tremendous moxie for his size apparently.

Can u tell me how many goals he has scored ?????

Is the answer the same as Nile Ranger and Jay Simpson for the last 2 years?

 

[sufc4life21]

Is kaylen hinds training with us? Iv checked his wiki his previous clubs are arsenal,Wolfsburg,Watford. Could be wild card signing for us.

 

[southendkid]

There is no credible source saying Kaylen Hinds is training with us and if we are signing Holmes it would be pretty pointless for him to be here since once Holmes signs we're at the squad limit (unless we don't register Mellis).

Regardless of whether we sign ( or have signed ) Ranger , Holmes , Simpson, Hinds , do we actually need Mellis ?
That comment is not a reflection on his ability , but considering Macca and Olayinka may soon be fit and we already have Ferguson, Dieng , JD and Taylor is he going to be of any benefit ?

Solid prospect. Is MM impressed enough? Apparently thinks he needs to settle in England on a lower standard to use it as a stepping stone.

He's a southern lad, I presume moved home during Pandemic and desperate for some game time. I'd give him an 18 month contract based on his alleged Moxie and previous clubs

Ranger in squad list

 

[Holy Joe]

I wouldn't want to be giving Holmes, Ranger etc contracts with any clauses that trigger an extension beyond this season. To me these are 'emergency' stop gap signings. If they do really well and MM wants them for next season fine, but an automatic trigger could impede next seasons squad building when we'll be limited to 20 players aged over 21

I doubt there will be an automatic trigger, but it will be down to us to decide

Well he got transferred for over a million quid and steve Evan's said he was a quality player so I would say yes!

 

[sufc4life21]

Glad to see ranger on the list. Holmes next

Is that the same Steve Evans who let him move to us ?
