Transfer News and Gossip George Moncur signs on loan for the season

[shrimper61]

What a signing, bags of experience.
I am so happy we got this done buzzing, buzzing, a real statement of intent to get out of this league

 

[SS9_Shrimper]

I really think we will see Walker thrive with someone of George’s quality behind him.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Didn't see that one coming! Hopefully two good signings. Useful to have not only an attacking midfielder ..............but God on our side. Welcome (back?) George (Didn't he support the Blues as a kid???)

Haiku time.

Lord Moncur arrives,
Our fans rise, hopes reignite,
Southend’s latest star.

 

[Smiffy]

George Moncur, my Lord

Bosh. Welcome George!

Think it’s a good loan signing given his age, wages and fitness levels. Having that experience in the squad alone is invaluable. Hoping he’s the missing piece in the midfield to get it all clicking together and hopefully he can take Jack Wood under his wing and teach him a trick or two.

Thank God

I see what you did there!

 

[Richard Hearn]

Well, if he doesn't score a hattrick this evening plus three assists I will be resoundingly booing him at full time.

No pressure then.

looks older than 31

Looks older than @Cricko? Wow

 

[Colblue]

He was awesome for us at Col U, his career very much in an upwards transition at that point but glad we helped him on his way. Scored some mightily important goals for us and was unplayable at his best. I’ve seen the rumours from Orient that he is out of shape and disinterested but totally do not believe them, he looks in shape to me though looks older than 31 lol.
I hope he does for you guys what your ex midfielder, Jack Payne, is doing for us

I am sure Cardwell, Waldron & Walker will be very excited about having G. Moncur on their side, long as KM can fit the 3 midfielders together and play to their strengths.

I concur, Moncur, not a blur. Welcome Sir

 

[RHB]

A fully fit Moncur and a fully fit Husin, could be a marriage made in heaven.

 

[South Bank Hank]

And the Old ways give way to the New. Testament to the great work of the team behind the scenes.

When all fit, midfield of:

Bridge Husin Moncur GSM

Miley

Maybe?

Here's a song for him - to the tune of The Thompson Twins "Love on our side" -

WE GOT GEORGE - MON - CUR IN OUR SIDE
WE GOT GEORGE - MON - CUR IN OUR SIDE
