[SeldomSeenShrimper]

His goal scoring record is the kind of player that normally does well here

Hopefully a a goal or 2 tomorrow and we have a little gem on our hands

 

[Cricko]

Sounds like this is a really creative song for him.

 

[Tinks]

Is he likely to play tomorrow has anyone heard

 

[Blues ‘n’ twos]

Is he likely to play tomorrow has anyone heard

Do we have a choice?

 

[Mr. Benedict]

Is he likely to play tomorrow has anyone heard

Pretty much nailed on I should imagine, given that he is our only fit forward

How is it we could not get a striker for love nor money, Cards exits and we get one within the hour ?

 

[Chairman Trigg]

Let's hope hope it's another Stan moment....when we all said Murphy hasn't a clue !

 

[Napster]

We need to sign Phil Salt now

 

[Holy Joe]

How is it we could not get a striker for love nor money, Cards exits and we get one within the hour ?

Could be (a) complete coincidence, (b) needs must so we've brought someone in sooner than we wanted - e.g., perhaps he wasn't first choice, but now we need 2 strikers he has become a priority

We need to sign Phil Salt now

Well we have Earth (Pebble) and Wind, just need to get the fire and water sorted.

Unfortunately the return of Acquah seems unlikely.

We are delighted to announce the loan signing of 21-year-old striker Aribim Pepple.

6ft 1 frontman Pepple joins on a season-long loan from Luton Town and has experience abroad in both Canada and Spain.

Born in Kettering before moving to Canada at the age of five, he played his first senior football for Canadian Premier League outfit Cavalry FC, where Pepple scored six goals in seven games in the 2022 season.

That earned him a deal with Luton Town, and while at Kenilworth Road, the forward has had loans at Grimsby Town, Bromley and Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Upon arriving at Roots Hall, he said: “I’m excited to call somewhere my home for the season and get settled. I’ve had a couple of loans and I’m thankful for those and now I’m ready to kick on.

“My goal now is to kick on properly with [scoring] goals.”

Welcome to Roots Hall, Bim!

Pepple will wear number 19 for the Shrimpers.

Glad to see we have signed two young players rather than older ones

when people are announced is not necessarily when the business gets done...

 

[BoyWonder2]

Pleased to have a body in the striking department.

Again, can’t confess to having seen him play, but the fact he has already experienced men’s football on loan is a huge plus.

I remember Stan saying about youngsters going out on loan, especially from the top flight, that it’s better to get them on their second loan spell as opposed to their first. Knows what Mens football is all about, what it means to get three points etc.

Looking forward to seeing him in action.

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

well done to whoever found the scout report on him (https://themastermindsite.com/2022/07/09/aribim-pepple-player-analysis/).
Sounds very similar profile to Cardwell so hopefully he's as good
