Transfer News, Gossip & Speculation Transfer Rumours Thread 2024/25 - Time to Cook 👨‍🍳

Following your hypothesis, it sounds like Christian Doidge might be coming our way, or is my maths out?

5 goals in 6 matches, they can't wait to get rid of him...

 

[Grayson]

I’ve just got a feeling we will be panicking sorry picking up a forward from FGR who’ll make our recent loan signing from Luton’s record look prolific . Who knows maybe I’m wrong. I’d be over the moon if it was Doidge

Tyrese Omotoye fits that description.

 

[bluethroughandthrough]

I just saw a post on IG that said incoming... And then realised it was from 5 days ago. What a tease

 

[MountainDrew]

Tyrese Omotoye fits that description.

He would be a great addition if the case, I’ve seen him play a few times, pacey and a handful, very Wayne Gray

Tyrese Omotoye fits that description.

Would certainly suggest he's now surplus to requirements at the moment and perhaps a loan with a recall clause would be nice. Would leave them with Doidge, Cardwell and Quigley - and think they only play with 1 up in their formation.

 

[Shrimpergonzo]

Can you please show your working out?

I’m following @Mr Browns Ghost ’s hypothesis where he said we’d soon get the same feeling as when Hyde replaced Dalby.

My working out is that we have lost a promising young striker, like Dalby, in Cardwell and his hypothesis seems to be that he will be replaced by an older striker in the twilight of his career, like Hyde, from the same club. The only player on FGR’s books that would seem to fit that description is Doidge - although as others have pointed out, he’s been prolific so far this season so it is difficult to comprehend them offloading him.

The hypothesis is not mine, I’m just trying to work out what he meant!

 

[Taters123]

FGR will not let Doidge go as surely he is their main man

Yes, I was going along with it.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

I thought, naively, that when the EFL transfer window closed, we'd have at least a couple of signings, loan or permanent, quickly made. Evidently, life is not that simple, especially concerning Southend United!

 

[flangejackrabbit]

Reckon there's a chance that might change as Cotterill tends to play two up top if able and has been short on strikers so far.

Hope so. Someone half as good as Wayne Gray would tear up this league!

Yeah let's not say that? As people will believe it

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Still some strikers released by EFL clubs in the summer who are free agents and could be potential options: Danny Hylton, Jordy Hiwula, Mo Eisa.

 

[JAL]

FGR has bent us over if we’re basically trading Cardwell for Doidge..

 

[Westcliff Shrimper]

Watched Aveley last night. Harry Gibbs was defensively excellent. Didn't get to see much of him on the ball but won and blocked absolutely everything. Wouldn't be surprised if that's who John Still was watching last night

Interesting - 27 so vastly experienced, but is he full time? Would potentially have the same issue(s) as Waldron if coming from part time...

Hiwula would be quality, surprised he's not got a club - although 2 goals in last 4 years is pretty painful viewing. 1 in 4 over career though and would be decent at our level I would suspect.

Hylton is 35 - so probably not for us.
Im sure Tilly tried to sign Mo Eisa many years ago? 1 in 3 striker probaby out of our £'s

That's probably why lol.

I think it was Brown who wanted Eisa.
