Latest Rumours Summer Transfer Window Thread 2020

[Westcliff DGS]

Have to settle HMRC by 28th October unless an extension is granted, so the embargo would be lifted then if it is about The HMRC debt,

How do you know he's refused to play, and that it isn't the club opting not to risk injury ahead of a potential transfer?

There's a good Essex Charity Cup interview with Kevin Bond where he singles out two players whose attitude is above and beyond anyone else in the squad. Nathan Bishop and Charlie Kelman.

I have serious doubts that he downed tools.

Theres absolutely no way CK down tools ,people saying that just plain stupid .

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

No more chat about Charlie Kelman on this thread please. Further posts will be deleted as it is not relevant to transfer rumours.

So, back on topic - 24 hours (ish) to go until the transfer window closes. Any intel on potential arrivals? I reckon we will see at least one more come in, possibly replacing one or two kids who may go out on loan.

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

The transfer window may close but unattached players will still be available.
It might have been a close decision, financially and number constraints deciding it, not to sign Jack Bridge, and is it possible he may still be available?

 

[Leigh_Seasider]

Must be loads of unattached players who can do a job for us.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Yeah that’s true and has been said about unattached players. In the window though I reckon we will see another arrival...

I think you’re right, I can see one or two more sneaking in. One definitely.

 

[Lincoln Shrimp]

We will see a maximum of one coming in before 5pm on Friday, but it is by no means a certainty that a deal will be concluded.

Well we are Southend fans, hope kills us every time and nothing’s ever certain..

With poor Lewis Gard being out for the season - massive thoughts of wellbeing to him for a recovery - does that release another space? I know this sounds mercenary...but it isn't posted that way. Would rather have a fully fit and playing Lewis.......but that's not going to happen.

I thought exactly the same.

Why have the club put up a pic of bilel Mohsni on fb ??

I wouldn't read anything into it, Southend are reminiscing about a 2012 match and he's just one of the photos from that post.

I think that post by the club showed just how poor our squad is at the moment. That side didn’t even get promoted from this division but it was light years away from where we are now. What the hell has happened to our club?

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

The points total we got that season would have seen us go up automatically most seasons. A great team put together by Luggy good mix of youth experience and non league gems.

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

We won't sign anyone today.

But what are the rules on free agents and loan players ?

 

[Barry.C]

A free agent can sign at anytime , loans I think can only be emergency goalkeepers providing certain criteria met

 

[Westcliff DGS]

Just to make clear, a free agent can sign any time as long as he has been released y his club (and therefore a free agent) before the transfer window closes.

I believe if released after that they need to wait to the net window as their registration was carried over past a transfer window.

There are a hell of a lot of players this year who are free agents, but that’s fairly obvious i guess

No my understanding is a free agent can sign anytime as they are not owned by a club.

Transfer window is by definition for transfers of players owned by a club from one to another

I think Westcliff is right on this. They have to be a free agent before the window closes at 5pm today.

That's why you often see clubs releasing players on deadline day. Not sure what the rules are today as this is an extended window, the official transfer window ended earlier this month.
