Latest Rumours Southend United boss Kevin Maher on his pursuit of new signings - and other 2022 rumours or inside info

I’m not privy to the full ins and outs of these deals, but we haven’t spent a huge amount of money on any of these signings.

From what I gather, the new lads, and JW when he is announced, with the clauses/add ons/extras etc (assuming we hit everything), will still come in cheaper than Wrexham signing Palmer. Also, I wouldn’t be overly surprised to see us line up against some of these sides in pre-seasons going forward.

We will be playing Kings Langley in pre-season.
 
Believe we had the same sort of agreement in place with Weymouth when Goodship signed with the pre-season friendly due to be played in 2020, but Covid scuppered that plan.

Correct.

I know we will definitely be playing Kings Langley in this coming pre-season, and possibly again the following one as well.

I like these sort of arrangements. Good for both sides and both sets of fans where like KL its "relatively" local- I don't know what its worth to them, could easily be tickets and food/drinks etc 5-10k all in. Over two seasons its not a meaningless bump to the fee

Also builds good relationships with other clubs .
 
I hope that pre-season games will be arranged against the local sides too. As well as Great Wakering Rovers, how about Concord Rangers and Southend Manor?

There will be the usual smattering of local non-league fixtures in pre-season.

I’d imagine Canvey Island due to the Benno connection.

I’ve had Kings Langley confirmed as part of the Jack Wood deal. Believe we will be playing Kettering Town as well as part of the Callum Powell deal, but I’ve not had that one confirmed to me yet.

Any possibility in a Sheffield friendly?
 
If this lot carry on doing the business we wont need to make many signings in the summer at all. Be great to start a season with a settled young squad that we all know are pretty good. Been a while...
I wonder if any of our players will attract interest from league or wealthier NL clubs in the summer????
 
We still need to clear out most of our U23 and players we don’t needs (Phil brown signing etc).
