free transfer by looking at Powell's interview

 

[IloveShrimp]

Still need to supply good opportunities for him though, something which is sadly lacking from our team at the mo!!

Need a decent midfield chance creator or to take the shackles off Dru or Dieng!

 

[WESTY_SUFC]

Woohoo hopefully means the end of one upfront. Seems like a very promising signing.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Where are the moaners now?

Okay I’ll bite

Probably quite happy considering this is what we’ve been moaning about

 

[RHB]

He didn't say we are a big club. He said great club with big ambitions. Just wanted to point that out ?

does it make you feel better that I'm dyslexic Webby?

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Where are the moaners now?

My wife is in the kitchen

All this man flu going about that we could all die from, and she's in the kitchen moaning.

Just think this guy has come here and seen he has a future with us, I wonder if he looks at the bigger picture and knows about the new stadium with a good chance if we get into the championship we will get crowds as good as Fulham get, and even pass them in three to four seasons, it can happen

I used to be dyslexic, but I'm K.O. now.

 

[Tinks]

Looks like a decent signing and a sturdy lad too.
Hopefully he and Coxy can partner up
Wishing I was now going Bradford

 

[The Big Dady]

Good lad, welcome to our BIG club.

Not sure about the "and do as well as I can as possible" bit.

 

[Chairman Trigg]

Believe he was heard to say I'm Free when we asked about him

On a more serious note Cox must be relieved that he's got somebody to play with at last who will compliment his playing style

 

[OrangeyBrown]

Surprised we were able to get him on a free transfer! Very promising signing

From the Fulham site:

Saturday 19 January 2019 10:03

The Club can confirm that Stephen Humphrys has joined League One side Southend United on a permanent transfer for an undisclosed fee.
The 21-year-old joined the club from Bury, and has been a regular scorer at youth levels ever since. In 2014, he signed his first pro contract to keep him at the club until June 2017, before he signed a two-year extension.
He earned his first team debut in our 2-2 Championship draw with Derby County in 2016.
The striker marked his return from his recent loan spell at Scunthorpe, scoring in each of the Under-23s’ fixtures against Middlesbrough and Manchester United since the turn of the year.
We wish Stephen all the best in his career and thank him for his services.

 

[Evening Echo]

STEPHEN Humphrys is hoping a switch to Southend United will help him find his identity.

That means we won’t see him start today then, one up front away from home
