Zak Brunt

[Ricey]

If the game against Bromley is called off I don’t think we will see him play for us again. I can imagine a team higher up will look to take him on loan.

He is an exceptional talent and has given us that bit of spark we have been crying out for! I hope you stay longer Zak but if you don’t I wish you all the success in our career. Once a Shrimper, always a Shrimper!

 

[Leigh_Seasider]

He looks a class above every time I’ve seen him play. Would’ve been a good experience for him too, playing regular games. He’s set the bar for the calibre of player we need to bring in to progress.

Sadly I think you may be correct unless of course the club can work their magic in persuading Sheffield for him to remain longer.Suspect Sheffield may think differently. So its doubly important that the club gets the embargo lifted asap

I’d say if we have any hope it would be on Darren Currie, as I assume it was his time working with Sheffield United’s youth team that got us him and Lopata.

I think a lot will depend on Darren Currie as well. One of their young players out on loan doing well, loving his game and getting excellent coaching might still be attractive to Sheffield.

EDIT - Snap @Ricey !

Can he even go on loan elsewhere this season? He has appeared for Sheff U in the League Cup as well as us so doesn't that max out his FIFA 2 clubs in a season which I think we still are included under?

He won't be playing for us because we can't re-sign him until the embargo is lifted.

Well that’s a real shame! Especially if there was a chance we could.

Even without the embargo we would struggle to keep brunt...... league 1/2 clubs will be his next destination or maybe spl club. Sheff u will no doubt like to see brunt go to better league to test himself. He got quality that for sure. Good luck to him wherever that is.

I thought as they were youth loans it was treated differently

Brunt is a ridiculous player at this level

ZAK Brunt is loving life at Southend United but remains unsure how long he will be staying.

Top man.

I agree but its funny how the meaning of a word can get changed : I’d say we have 2 ridiculous players at this level — White and Atkinson.

 

[Jay_SUFC]

The one advantage for us, and I'm trying to optimistic, is the fact that's he's playing regularly and is enjoying his football.

That may be enough for Sheff Utd to let him stay.

League Two isn't a leap in standard compared to NL and would be start for a decent League One club?

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

There is no difference in standard to the top 16 teams of NL and League 2

If they wanted to test him, he needs to be playing for a league 1 side

 

[Lincoln Shrimp]

Zak is a tremendous player with great skill and potential. The only negative for me is that he can sometimes go missing in games. Granted, this is probably down to us not having better players around him who can give him the ball in attacking areas more often!

I think that's only if they have a youth contract, if he has a professional one then it won't matter

We also have some ridiculous posters. ( I defer from calling them supporters). You know the ones that turn every thread into a needless snipe at our senior players. These two both gave everything and played well on Sunday.
