2016 Summer Transfer Thread

50/50 to sign a striker who has played international football. Suggestions? Zamora?

Is 50/50 about second base? We can't get players in who are at fourth base so I don't see this happening

Sorry, should have mentioned that Cox is the only one that doesn't need striker training. He blasts them in for fun at training. Ranger wasn't too bad. McLaughlin is the best out of the wingers. Mooney is O.K. one on one against a goalie, but shooting generally poor. Lenny is the best at long shots. All the rest are woeful. Williams is crying out for striker training.

Harry Kyp looks impressive in training with his finishing, better than some of the forwards.

If a professional player doesn't know what he's done wrong if he fails to get his knee over the ball, then there is no point in coaching him.

Agreed, which begs the question as to why we signed them?

Well seeing as though PB apparently only signs better quality players than we already have, he must be better than Lenny, Atko, Timlin, Wordy etc

50 years old Im told is the new thirty, but a 50/50 chance of signing someone for Southend is the new 2%. As you get older you regress, I blame the grandchildren, as my vocabularly has gone back to saying Willy, Bum , poo a lot ( trust the filter doesnt intervene or most of my posts will now be banished ) and worse still I laugh my socks off

Unless a thread gets abusive we prefer not to close it as what would Naps do seven years down the line when he has a quiet afternoon and wants to resurrect it?

We could keep it open, so we have a ready made one for next summer :cool:

Desperate for a striking coach, we can all see.... Head and knee over the ball is needed ... Like 7NB said, they are leaning back.... Not good.

Your so right .I was telling my son look at them shooting in warm up most don't hit threw the ball and bend there foot also learning back and not over the top ..king has the best finishing crazy

I read that we're trialling Jimmy Kebe. No idea whether that is true or even a valid source of information.

nevermind..... Someone already saw this and posted on the other thread..

So any views now on the summer transfers that were concluded by the club?

I remember quotes along the lines of the club being a joke and comments about the manager too.

Anyway, here we are January 2017 and the dust has settled. Bury were lauded last season as being a club that was going places (just off the relegation zone by goal difference) and Port Vale were also a team to be envied ......... except their manager has just left and they are 15th in the table. The other club often praised is Peterborough and they are level with us in the league.

Perhaps summer 2017 was quite the disaster it was made out to be by some on here?

... Not forgetting Gillingham, of course, who got some signings in we could only dream of and managed to offer Bradley * I'm laughing as I type this * Dack a very good contract! :smile:
