New signing

[palexander]

Sturrock has just said he is bringing in a target man this week as we need to play it long.

Any ideas? Dicko? Jack Sampson?!

Also, sure that news will be great to hear for the football purist fans amongst you.

We certainly need a target man but preferably neither of those two. If it is one of those I'd edge Dickinson. In addition we also need another CM so at least one of our current crop need to be sacrificed. So maybe Hall is going. I also read on here in the last week that Jam_man posted who could see Ferdinand going. Well today it appeared he did well and scored another goal via clever movement. Makes him noticed a bit more with window closing this week. Hall and Ferdy going at the same time would be a huge blow.

Need to ship out Mohsni ASAP and try and bring someone like Akinfenwa who is not only a target man but can score lots of goals as well and if we get rid of Mohsni we can use the rest of the money we get from him for another CM.

 

[Westcliff Shrimper]

Agreed - get rid of the Moshni and bring in a striker...

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Barry Corr, Oh!

 

[ozzy-shrimper]

Akinfenwa?

Paul Sturrock (with a smile): "Akinfenwa is exactly the type of player we need..."

As Sturrock says a target man is coming in then if its a full-time signing I have to say I really do now fear for Corr.

 

[Beverly Hills Cop Blue]

After that tweet it wouldn't surprise me. But surely not though.

 

[BrettieAngell]

Please not Sampson.

Ah jolly good, this has brightened my mood no end. Love affair with Southend United being slapped in the face repeatedly at present.

 

[Cricko]

Good God no to Dicko, for me he could not trap a ball, head it or jump. His ego and self importance were bigger than his Penguin feet.

 

[CocklesShrimps&Whiteweed]

All praise Sturrocks Southend. Sound the air raid sirens. Rubbish.

 

[Beverly Hills Cop Blue]

Agreed cricko which I alluded to last night.

Today highlighted how we needed a target man, they beat us time and time again in the air. Akinfenwa was a handful but seems to be loved by the fans there, not sure why he'd leave.

He's not first choice any more.

It is highly possible Bayo will go to you lot, and after hearing what Sturrock has said I think he probably will go before the deadline. He's not first choice, and after our game against Rochdale (where he was an unused sub) he tweeted "I'm not doing dis again", so its plausible.

 

[rlb999]

He's a big lad, Akinfenwa.

 

[EnglandShrimper]

I would take him.

 

[Hazey]

If he's not first choice for you he should be, you only looked really dangerous once he came on! Although I like many others take the mick out of his size (which is considerable) he is still a very good player at this level.
