A Bit of Fun Sawyer moving on elsewhere

Anyone know what Geraint Williams is up to these days work wise ? he was sitting a few rows in front of us in the East Greens and seemed to be taking an interest in Sawyer.
 
Sawyer was regularly watched by England scouts at Chelsea (this is a fact as I know someone who played in the same team as him at Chelsea youth) he was always considered the best in his year. If he was to leave Chelsea I don't think it would be for a League 2 team as that would surely kill off any England chances

Surely he is better getting games and working his way up. Chelsea reserves is no challenge and neither is sitting on the bench at a championship club but do take on your point.
 
I am probably talking out my arse here but I think (and pray) Sawyer will become a full time Southend player. I cant see Chelsea wanting him as they must have 20 Lee Sawyers in the ranks and with him out of contract in the summer I think chances are he could be moving on.

As an 18 year old lad I imgaine being local is going to be a big pull and short of maybe Orient who no-one in there right mind would join there is no-one closer.

He is playing week in week out here,seems to enjoy the banter and has openly said that he is enojying it here compared to say Federeci who has made it clear here is here for a loan and nothing else.

My only worry is a Watford type club coming in for him but I dont think he is quite ready for the Championship yet.


:cool: My exact thoughts Dave, why would he want to move, he's first choice here the thought of going back to Chelsea and possible not getting games in the reserves is surely reason enough to give it at least the rest of the season here.
 
I wouldlove for us to keep him all season, so he can help us get promotion, so we can keep him for another season long loan in the championship!
 
Just because they have been keeping an eye on him doesn't mean that he will go there. There are probably a few premierleague teams looking at him aswell.

If sawyer went to a CCC club he would be doing so to get in the team asap, not just rot in the reserves.

Yes Sawyer is getting games here but if a southern/london based CCC club came in for him Im sure he would be off in a shot.
 
I think he is one of just three players who could cope with the Championship; shame the other two are loanees too.

At least we have made a decent start to the season with our loanees, hope we sustain it when we are down to our bare bones later in the season.

We seem to have picked decent loanees; we may have to repeat the trick in January. It will take more than the momentum generated by the good start to see us through, if you take all the loanees away.

to be honest Id happily give up any of the loanees in exchange for a fit Barnard/Freedman combo.

Them being fit is far more important to us than any of the loanees.
 
Going back a month it was 99% sure that Sawyer would stay, at least for the season. Unfortunately I can't confirm if that has changed as I haven't heard anything myself recently.

I can't see him going to a Championship club just yet though. The fact a club has watched him means very little these days. There are scouts at every game of ours looking at individuals and making notes, but very rarely does it come to anything. It'll be the same with us. I've no doubt we've got people out there watching individuals, but 80%-90% of them won't get approached.
