Breaking News Callum Powell joins - now official

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

The team is really shaping up nicely! Key positions being covered and the age range of the squad is sssooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better.

Welcome Callum, here's to a long and successful Shrimpers career that takes you into the EFL.

 

[Westcliff Shrimper]

Gives me some great ideas for some mugs though.


Just need sticky tape and a felt tip pen.

Ps: I do not know if you are all aware but Callum uses the term "Wiggle it just a little bit" Coincidence eh. ?

How do I get one of the original ones?

 

[Shrimper83]

Starting to feel like the Fry days when every week we'd have a new signing. Need to get rid of some of the deadwood now

 

[Maidstone Shrimper]

Personally I think the club should pay more attention to how this is going to affect Shrimperzone. Clearly they don't care enough about us. Recently we've had Chris Powell come back as manager and now we've signed Callum Powell. What with the ever present Chris Philips, how on earth are we going to know which CP we're talking about?

Shambles.

Chris Philips insists that when we're talking about CP we mean him!

 

[mattytheshrimper]

Lots of striker options.. who’s gonna miss out?

We need them what with Murphy out for a few weeks and potentially Dennis too. Our bench on Tuesday showed just how short of options we are coming from the bench. The good news is, with a fully fit squad we could have a very good starting 11 and a very competitive bench as well!

Honestly, can't believe it has happened again.

First we had Stanley Collymore, Simon Cox and Sol Campbell, now we have to deal with this!

 

[Jay_SUFC]

Sounds like a winger converted to a striker, same as Blues legend Dave Crown.

I didn't realise Crown started off as a winger. I believe Angell started as a centre back

 

[Shrimpet steve]

Welcome aboard, feel we now need one creative midfielder and we are ready to go for it next season

This season

 

[Shrimpet steve]

Another good signing

 

[Barry.C]

Thing that really stands out is just how all these signings see us a big club and a real chance to improve there careers and be a part of something.

Compared to last pay day big time charlies who see us as a little swansong.

Did anyone do any scouting before? Or did PB just pop onto wikipedia to see who had won stuff in the past..

There was quite a bit of criticism of such an approach in the past . Some noteworthy s on here thought it was a waste of space strategy and that hardly any talent existed beneath us and we couldnt attract them and if we found some it would never work out and be too costly ! I believe we were also advised that Ron himself didnt like the idea

All credit to him and the great Team alongside Stan and Co for changing direction so seismically and quickly

Have to say Im loving every minute after pushing for just such an approach for many year's and being told to F,,, off

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Sounds like a winger converted to a striker, same as Blues legend Dave Crown.

And Collymore.

No pressure Callum.

Chris Powell is SCP, surely.

 

[40yearsafan]

Looks another great signing. Welcome Callum, hopefully straight into Saturdays squad.

 

[Rob1920]

I've realised that we're finally building a squad that has the types of players I always hated seeing us play against, but at the same time wished that we had in our squad. Well, one by one, we're now acquiring those types of players, and I'm very excited about the future of this club for the first time in bloody years.

Just shows how far behind everyone else we fell in our approach to both player and backroom recruitment. While our competitors were doing what we're finally doing, we were kidding ourselves the way forward was big names on their way down. Stan said the way we're now doing things can't fail if its allowed to flourish, and it is early days, but it already looks so much more positive from every angle.

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

Sounds like a winger converted to a striker, same as Blues legend Dave Crown.

I was thinking more Thierry Henry?

 

[SeaSideDoughnut]

How many is that now? I felt we were only going to be able to sign players if others leave, and the only one I could imagine leaving was Atkinson just because of timing, Sayers had gone as well.

This is all Stan. We've paid a fee for the last three of them and this is Stan in Ron's ear saying 'Hey, remember the club paid £100k for me? How did that turn out?' Some players will roam around always being free agents and we've played that market for a long time, others can increase in value. Hopefully that's becoming part of our ethos.

 

[RHB]

Looks like we have a new range of SUFC casual jackets for Callum to model at the photoshoot.

 

[mattytheshrimper]

Safe to say I didn't see January going as it has in terms of signings. Big month and hopefully a huge leap in the right direction.

 

[duncan bulgaria]

Another good signing

I think we have left it a bit late to challenge for the play offs , I’m thinking of a good pre season and building on hopefully the tail end of this season

 

[Farmer Fossett]

Really happy with this signing and the direction the club are going. Looking forward to a strong end to this season and a push for promotion next year.
