    So how good IS Daniel Bentley anyway...?

    There are already a number of threads on bids, contracts, tribunals, etc so we won't cover those here. Instead I want to focus a bit on the talent. Last week I had the opportunity to watch England at Wembley (from a very similar viewpoint/seating position to the one I have at Roots Hall) and...
  2. The trouble with this story about Bentley...

    ...is Blues could end up with nothing for him, or at the very best a reduced figure if he goes in January. http://www.getwestlondon.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/qpr-ready-go-back-southend-10013791
  3. Ref Watch ..... Peterborough (H)

    The man in charge of tomorrow's early kick off will be Simon Hooper from Swindon refereeing Southend for the sixth time in his 8th season as a League referee. On Swindon’s books as a junior he was released at the age of 16 and turned his attentions towards refereeing. He also represented...
  4. Local loyalty-what a joke!

    I've just been reading that Bentley has refused to sign a new,longer contract,something that would have bumped up his wages now and given him definite security,in the event of serious injury or loss of form.Much more important it would have enabled our club to receive a much,much larger transfer...

    Post-Match Thread and Ratings Coventry City vs Southend United

    Well at least we scored. Sounds like a cracking game and a draw is a decent result especially with yet another penalty save from Bentley.

    Daniel Bentley - Will he or won't he?

    The transfer window shuts on Tuesday, September 1, at 6pm - a day later than you might expect, as the Monday is a Bank Holiday and the window has to close on a working day. Will Daniel go in this window or not, and who do you think will bid for him??

    The Squad

    It's looking good, we've strengthened by bringing in as permanent signings McLaughlin and Pigott from Championship clubs, a Championship defender (Rea) on a 6 month loan plus O'Neill who is absolute quality, a very experienced striker in Noel Hunt, plus experienced L1 players in Mooney and...

    Questions - Walsall

    Why did Worral not start? Why did Timlin not start? Why was Mooney taken off so soon (I assume an injury but nothing apparent) Does Weston like pizza? He certainly enjoys slices. What will happen to the Daniel Bentley money? That's all a bit heavy for a Sunday morning - but then again so is...

    Selection headache

    Not often I've felt this or we have been in a position of having such a strong squad, but, tonight every player put their marker down to be included in the starting 11 on Saturday. I can't remember the last time that we had such a situation. Add to the mix the possibility of adding another...
  11. PB more signing

    post match PB stated will need 2-3 more signings. not sure all clubs want more but at the mo squad looks q good, obviously if Bentley goes they can spend a bit, otherwise poss a few loan signings. Thoughts
  12. Daniel Bentley - The Ongoing Transfer Saga

    Bumped into Daniel l night in my local asda store (SWF) had a chat with him ref transfer. He stated it was all down to the club if he stays or goes. I thanked for taking the time to talk to me, he is a nice guy, not big headed etc. I wish him the best of luck for his footballing future
  13. The Bentley fund, what would you want it spent on?

    If we get the 1.5 mill we are holding for, I don't think its unreasonable for 500k of that to be invested back into the team to give us a good L1 squad & hold our own up there. Not sure Ron will part with more than 200k if im honest though..... Where do people think the cash is gonna go?
  14. A Bit of Fun Hull to bid £2 million for Dan Bentley

    This is a friend of a friend rumour, but there may well be some truth in this. I can't see Martin turning this down. If he does go, I'd rather it was sooner than later so Brown can find a replacement.

    Bentley Leaves

    I couldn't resist.

    A Bit of Fun QPR to launch £1.6m bid for Bentley?

    Various rumours on different Twitter accounts suggesting that they will bid up to £1.6m for DB if Rob Green leaves. Not sure we could turn that kind of money down in the event that we can't agree an extension to his contract (and we all know that is only in our interest).
  17. Newbie alert!!!

    Hello everyone. Recently joined this site over the weekend. My son turns 5 in August and over the last few months has gone football mad. Took him to the "Meet The Blues Day" on Sunday, which I thought was fantastic. My daughter, 8, also went (mainly so she could meet Daniel Bentley -...

  20. Money

    Has the club any money to spend on new players without selling (Bentley, etc) it's not just a case of transfer fee, but salary etc. If they can get a good deal for selling Bentley to a bigger club, may be a good deal for both SEND + him. At the mo can't see them getting much for any of the...
