Why go for one, let’s get them both!

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

Every year we get a list of some very exciting players we are looking at and every year we see our targets go elsewhere

HOWEVER!!

We have no tropical juice drink this summer ... so i'm very excited to see what happens

Why go for one, let’s get them both!

But Kawa has less than a goal every three games for the team that finished bottom of the league below! Sounds great!

Some good analysis of Spasov in this article. Sounds like he has the kind of attributes that Maher would like. Has a good pedigree as came through the ranks at Oxford where he would have been a contemporary of Leon Chambers-Parillon (of course they went on to play at Slough together too). He's got a bit of National League experience too as he spent some time on loan at Woking from Oxford when he was 18.

In The Spotlight #26 – Slavi Spasov

Welcome to Episode #2 in Series #2 of In The Spotlight, as I try to shine a light on the best young talent in non-league. Today, the player that is going under the microscope is Slough Town forward…

Suggested Spasov. He'd be a great signing IMO, physical and well coached over at Slough with some really nice potential upside to his game. For a nominal fee, he'd be a no-brainer signing if we can beat the competition (I've heard quite a few teams are looking at him...).

 

[SUFCGoals]

Just done some digging into Slavi Spasov stats last season, he has 23 G/A (18 goals) in all comps.

He played 3573 minutes meaning he gets a goal contribution every 1.72 games around 150 minutes or so.

Sounds like he'd be a decent player.

Spasov, at £5k transfer fee, will be out of our price range.

Have a day off trigger

One quick,one physical. Hopefully one comes along that’s both. We’ve signed Powell, Wreh, Cardwell, Waldron, Walker, Bonne, Hopper, Kendall, Wood. Maybe we should just borrow again like Dennis and Pepple.

Nah, but thanks.

Anyway, I was joking and am fully behind COSU / our management (just in case you thought i was having a dig).

 

[Blues4LifeDan]

I think Pereira, Cashman and Spasov would be a great window for attacking options.

Without wishing to be too negative we have taken a bath on more than a few prolific lower league strikers over the years.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Slavi Spasov sound like an organisation should rounding up dissidents and student protestors East of the iron curtain rather than doing the business in the National League

 

[thenobster]

Surprised there’s no ‘when’s the first signing announced’ sweepstakes yet

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Suggested Spasov. He'd be a great signing IMO, physical and well coached over at Slough with some really nice potential upside to his game. For a nominal fee, he'd be a no-brainer signing if we can beat the competition (I've heard quite a few teams are looking at him...).

That’s the type of thing where it may help that he was at Oxford with James Golding and Slough with Leon Parillon. You’d like to think those two would be saying how great it is to be at Southend.

I like the sound of him in that off the line blog as a mixture of hard working and technical ability in that Off The Line blog post although I wasn’t blown away by the accompanying video footage.

But Kawa has less than a goal every three games for the team that finished bottom of the league below! Sounds great!

He got 11 in 23 starts and 10 sub appearances. Sounds more than decent enough for a 20 year old in a struggling side.

Interestingly 9 of his 11 goals were at home and the other two were at Chesham and Hemel so maybe he doesn’t travel particularly well.

He probably profiles more as someone who will help us from the bench next season but I think we lack pace and he offers that. It would be really handy to have someone pacy and direct to bring off the bench.

Brooklyn Kabongolo may give a less glowing recommendation than Golding and Parillon though.

We've been much a better side since we signed him. The facts speak a thousand words

Yep. One of those who allows others to play. An effective player, if not always an easy one to watch.

The majority of these, at the time they were signed, moved the team forwards. Powell for example was a breath of fresh air - all be it short lived. But you're right that the two with the most quality were probably the 2 we loaned in. That's the way it is in this league - many of the best players are loaned from above. Need to factor that into our recruitment.

Hopefully, they'll realise Brooklyn is talking about our club under very different circumstances.

As long as Kawa doesn't have Kabongolos dad as an agent he should be fine

I see on Sky that Ollie Kensdale has left Eastleigh for Barnet.
