Where did you hear this?

Was in here a few weeks back, I think when we talked about the need for a penalty taker.

Can We Sign A Penalty Taker Please !

I am in despair, please can we learn how to take a decent Penalty. Can we get in touch with Mat Le Tissier ?

I feel like there is sometimes an echo effect with some rumours. Someone says on here that there is a rumour, this then gets taken and tweeted out. That tweet then gets posted on here as proof.

Is this a placeholder or is someone green and we haven't mentioned them yet? Just curious

Where has this war chest come from?

I remember hearing that Tom Lawrence and Stan were quite happy with some potential sponsorship deals. Could be something to do with that?

The fact that Ben Wynter is at Torquay and not Eastleigh makes me dubious of the source tbh.

 

[Callum]

Yes.

Where did you hear this?

truth be told a chap down the pub whose name I don't even know. But he told me about the Bridge and Cardwell signings before their official release. Also reckons a young Leeds forward by the name of Josh Mann will be joining on loan, never heard of him myself though

Lapota

He isn’t a right back.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. We are very much interested in Lopata, and are in contact with Sheffield United about him.

I can only see another loan, not a permanent deal, but the Club are trying their hardest. However, if anything happens with Lopata, it’ll be a lot later in the summer. After Sheffield United have come back and assessed their squad and done their business. That will determine where he is in the pecking order, and what their plans are for him.

They may decide to keep him in the squad, they may decide he can go out on loan, but higher up the leagues, or they may let him come back here. He may even become available on a permanent deal, but the ball is firmly in Sheffield United’s court.

I think there is a lot of exciting stuff in the background that no one on here posts about but I think it will be a fantastic summer for southend fans for once and that won’t just be with transfers.

Which Pub?

Google shows no mention of a leeds player with that name

Correct.

Ultimately, all we care about is how the Club performs on the pitch, so that over the course of the summer is the players coming through the door.

Putting our recruitment aside, some excellent things are happening behind the scenes, all very positive which will in turn help with the stuff we see on the pitch.

My local in Basildon the jolly friar. A few Southend fans in there I've got speaking to over the years, this bloke is called Hugo

I know nothing about the leeds boy whatsoever, others might know more but just sharing what I've heard

It’s actually quite difficult to know how to react to all this optimism.
