Breaking News Alan McCormack Signs

[Ricey]

He saw the new shirts and thought he had to come back for one last swansong.

Suits it too!

What I want to know is, how are they going to keep OBL out of Roots Hall when we have our next home game?

 

[hlane17]

If rumours going round are true could be the release of Kyps. But they’re just rumours.

Real shame. He looked a good prospect before his injuries and a genuinely good guy. He would often stand and talk with some of us fans when he sat in East Black.

 

[Pak Power]

5 year deal ?

 

[Ricey]

I think these words from Molesley are key:

"I remember playing against Alan and he’s a really tough competitor," he said. "I think that’s what we need.

He knows the player which is great so it’s not one that has been shoved in his face.

 

[GBJ]

Should toughen up the midfield, just need to find the right player to go along side him now?

If he’s going to be the anchor, then he’ll need a creative ying to his yang. We have that already in Phillips, Hutchinson or Gard.

 

[GBJ]

So who might be going? Any rumours?

I’ve heard some. I can’t say atm though.

 

[Ricey]

Has anyone checked on OBL? She’s been very quiet since this all came out.

@OldBlueLady are you ok?

He seems pretty creative in a Kevin Maher style role now, but someone to push forwards like Gard or Hutch could work (though I still have my concerns of Hutch in a central two).

Demi & macca midfield? Not sure myself tbh

 

[hlane17]

Understandable mate. I look forward to hearing as things progress. It seems we are bolstering the squad a bit now though ?

 

[delr]

watched him in the play offs for Northampton - looked fit & put himself about - just what we need - well happy with this signing

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Have to say I'm impressed with MM's recruiting so far. Not afraid to go for the older experienced player when it fits our needs.......initial loan deal until January sounds a really good arrangement. Looking forward to seeing who the last two will be

 

[Ricky Otto]

I’d forgotten about that. Still, you can’t blame them too much. Who amoung us would carry on turning up for a shift at their place of work, if they hadn’t been paid for months?

I don't make any snap judgment on that at all, but it is something that could easily happen again (him not getting paid that is). Just providing a bit of balance.

 

[NZamba Legend]

Third time he has signed for the Shrimpers. Really pleased. He is a quality player.

@OldBlueLady are you ok?

She's on the phone to the club desperately trying to get the player sponsorship so she can sit next to him at the sponsors dinner

Wet!!

Only joking Kay, just the experience and kick arse we need.

 

[LBBlue]

15 March 2005 he first signed on loan for us..... Many of us weren’t born then .......

 

[Ricky Otto]

You can't fault them identifying the type of players we need. I think it's a good signing, I've said in numerous posts (many others have too) that we need some grit in there desperately

If someone gets in there first before her they’ll need to sleep with one eye open.
