I said when we signed him Theo Robinson wouldn't cut it. Im up here in Scotland and having watched him for Motherwell his first touch was a tackle , he was quick but like a headless chicken
 
I'm taking a guess at Freddie Ladapo from Palace being one of them

Good age, good size, looks a good fit for the type of football Chrissy Powell wants us to play.

Questionable pedigree with the Col Ewe link but that was 4 years ago and you've surely got to love a Freddie who was at Grays and scored goals to get his side promoted to the Conference South.

If he's the guy hopefully he can do the business.
 
Ladapo looked good playing for Margate a couple of years back. Obviously went downhill at Colchester !

He came through our academy before he was at Margate, ironically he was with Southend as a youngster before that! He is one of these players who is powerful and looks like he is going to do well, but rarely does. He scored goals for fun at Margate but I think that is probably about his level unfortunately.
 
We have 5 central defenders, that position really isn't a priority.

I would argue we need a winger (as we only have 3, and I'm not including Wright) whereas we have 4 central midfielders (though one is injury prone!!)

Wright is another one who has got to start performing. At present he brings nothing to the game.

Agreed. Mind you it's difficult to bring anything to a game when you're injured and not even in the squad.

Yeah my thinking also. Out of contract in the summer as well so hopefully he can come in and impress enough for a deal in the summer.

Probably because Brown kept trying to turn him into Will Atkinson by playing him out wide. On the rare occasions he's played in the middle he's looked good.
 
Come people that’s 2 we found out now who is the midfielder!!!
