No defenders then! :facepalm:

I can see 4 championship players wanting to sign for a struggling L1 team :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

Then again these will be players who cant get a game at Champ level, otherwise why would they come here.

Blues in for two strikers and two midfielders

SOUTHEND United chairman Ron Martin has revealed the Shrimpers are keen to sign two midfielders and two strikers.

More...

Totally agree. These are going to fringe players or out of favour ones at best. No way would we be able to pay players at that level especially 4 of them even with negotiation of wages with loans.

Exactly. We can sign anyone you want up front but if we remain immobile and incapable in defence, we’ll never get far enough out of own box (with or without the ball) to utilise the abilities of those forwards.

The four players will have a combined age of 130...

Yep, I'd rather we bolted the back door first!

FGS don't encourage them! :smile::winking:

I'm not a fan of Ron by any means but what would you rather have him aspire to? I applaud the efforts to strengthen the squad. Can we please check the medical history of any new signings though :smile:

And maybe a quick DBS check?

What I find remarkable about this news is that it refers to a meeting yesterday, Wednesday. What in heavens name is going on? Why was Ron not in an emergency meeting with PB on Saturday night or on Sunday? ( One reason, probably, was that Phil had a BBC radio job on Sunday afternoon as a co-commentator on Shrews in FA cup). Of course, we will never know what happened between Saturday pm and Wednesday but it does all sound so complacent. A lack of professionalism is a charge which I have heard mentioned about life at the Hall. This sort of management does nothing to lessen the unease currently affecting Blues fans. When I take my seat on Saturday what chance of a new face in the line-up to brighten things up. Very slim methinks.

I have to say, Ron may not be perfect but i do admire his management style. He doesn't go round sacking managers headless-chicken style, rather works with them to try and turn things around. And this will be noted by future potential managers if and when PB does finally leave.

Can't argue with his signing

 

[AndyT]

We should sign Nortei Nortey from Dover, just for a laugh! :smile:

Other clubs seem to quietly get on with signing new players whereas we always seem to make a meal of it with meaningless pre-announcements of intentions, waiting for the phone call etc. Just do it Ron, then tell us about it when it's done. This should all have been teed up ages ago anyway.

Yep agreed, Sheff UTD went quietly about taking Leonard over a 6 month period...

I hope not, you don’t win anything with kids in this league.
