Latest Rumours The free agents Southend United could look to sign if transfer embargo is lifted

[Yorkshire Blue]

I think we are waiting for embargo’s to be lifted, before we can sign these players on a free.

If that was the case I think they'd be training with us already.

Any free agent we sign now is likely to have not played for 6 months. They're not going to be ready to contribute until December.

All these name floating about and the fact that MM (Who is yet to win a single game as a professional manager) is still saying he is happy with the team, makes me think a couple of things.

1) We won't be paying the tax bill.

2) we will, but that will be all the money gone.

If either of those are correct ... the club is clearly downing tools and as firmly in the process of financial damage limitation in order to stay in business in the National league.

Or

MM is digging his own grave and will be gone before Christmas

 

[Chairman Trigg]

More chance of signing John Inman than some of these names!

 

[WightShrimper]

Ooh, John Inman.....is he free?

 

[tottenham541]

And not only is gonna be hard to get any of these names in, will they want to play for a team that is the worst in the league as it stands and could possibly be playing conference football next season.

Or he's telling a porkie because he wants a) to manage fan expectations or b) he wants to stry and instill a bit of confidence in the players.

That said, if the whole squad were fit things would be at least marginally better.

Chris Phillips really must be struggling for things to write.Quite what he hoped to achieve by printing this I really don't know.

 

[Richard Hearn]

Ooh, John Inman.....is he free?

He's certainly not doing anything at the moment.

36 year old Ashley Williams is available too if he fancies a trip down to the Roots Hall Retirement Castle

 

[Floval Flyer]

Daniel Sturridge
Mario Balotelli
Jack Wilshire

Imagine; Balotlli, up front with Ranger & Bilel playing deep and in the mix. What could possibly go wrong...

Has Kyp freed up a place?

 

[flangejackrabbit]

I was about to suggest Brad Inman after reading this, but it looks like he's gone to play in India.

 

[stewart]

we in need of a spine through the middle A GK ,tough no nonsense CD and DM and a striker or 2

 

[Shrimpet steve]

Mike Fondop was a pretty imposing presence in the Conference last season, he did tend to lose his rag a bit but maybe we need some of that.

Exactley what we dont need more players with no football league experience,if he is loosing his rag in the conference imagine what how mental he'll go in the league.Sounds like the sort of player who gets sent off alot.

And the answer is yes they would want to play if they actually want to earn a living playing football in these unprecedented times,The days of these pre mad on ers have gone and they cant pick and choose salaries and clubs like they used too.It might be a case of playing for southend or not play at all and im sure they have familys and bills to pay.

Firstly, what are you trying to say here? I've read it several times and I still can't figure it out.

Secondly we keep banging on about wanting players that are truly committed to the southend cause, how does that fit in with shafting people on wages?

 

[Westcliff DGS]

Has Kyp freed up a place?

Probably but it is only a Months loan

Prima Donnas ?

 

[Barry.C]

That’s a shame I missed the fact that it was only for One month and thought a little longer period of at least 3 months would suit each party. Maybe though we could still get someone with in short term with experience and maybe Kyps loan could be extended if valuable move by all
