Only being 22, i'd be surprised if at this stage of his career, he would want to play non league?.

Hopefully this is Phil’s media game to bump up his fee

Indeed. I don't think Demi would have got a contract otherwise.

If Elvis gets the chance of a decent move then I wish him all the very best. In games under Bond and Campbell when we were losing he was the only one trying the push forward and not give up as well as encouraging inexperienced youngsters. I honestly saw him as one of those players who stays at the same club for years and as a future club captain. He is young and deserves better than we can offer now.

He owes the club at least one season in the national league as he was one of a bad bunch!!

He really doesn’t. Been a top pro, never moaned or complained and for a long time looked like the only one who gave a ****. He didn’t have the best season last season, but no one did. If he can get himself a decent move, he’d leave with my blessing.

Release wasnt good enough!

Too good for the conference, not had a great season but it wasn’t for most really. I actually thought he improved after his international trip (probably enjoyed escaping the gloom) and a few games towards the end he had moments where I thought he is under appreciated.

I’d wish him a solid league club (paid on time etc) and a bright future and he’s one I’d definitely keep an eye on to see how he gets on.

I will be very surprised if he stays, would not hold it against him if he went, and, he would go with my best wishes. He played over one hundred games for us so who can blame him for looking to his future.

Didn’t moan or complain ? It’s common knowledge to many he’s breaking his arm off to move away from Southend over the last 2-3 seasons ..

Which one is it ?
This or ‘he owes us one season’ ?
You really are the county champion of village idiots !

Well in an interview he done and which was posted on here he said he wanted to stay and help the team get back to league two. If he goes against that I would be annoyed.

Indeed. I don't think Demi would have got a contract otherwise.

I dread the thought of JD being our 1st choice right back. He will get skinned by the younger generation wide player and he become a disciplinary liability during every game.

My initial thoughts exactly.

 

[tommy tucker]

what happen the the saying sorry at the end of the season then .If he was really sorry he should give it at least one season to get the club back .Sorry means nothing if your going to cut and run young man .

 

[Paulie Walnuts]

He’s recently come out publicly saying he wants to stay, and help us get back into the football league right?. We will see how much he wants to help get us up over the next few weeks won’t we.

I don't get this "too good for conference" thing; arguably the National League has bigger teams in it than League Two. If he got offered a League One team, yeah, understand that, but let's face it, League Two is pretty poor.

Did he refuse to play or train or do anything else to force a move?

Least you're consistent, Steve
