Noel Hunt: Why I chose to join Southend United

For the record I'm a Colchester fan. I think Southend have a better first team squad than us this season, but obviously I think our academy system is far superior to the majority of Lge 1.

Hunt is a coup, your first team squad looks very solid as a result of signings like him. I was just wondering if you can actually afford him though. I know Col U were overspending a few years back and it didn't really work out.

I agree mate, the Irish guy is a risk, has not played for months...he is well unfit... I think it's a stupid risk, his wage will be silly, we also have this place in Southend, it's a magical hotel called The Roslin, as part of a backhander they get to stay in there a lot! Phil brown actually lived there.... For 18 months!

Now there is an old dude called Brian Horton, he must be in his mid to late 60,s (ignore wiki, I recon Hunt is 35!, no not his brother) no doubt this Brian will cost us cash and hang in the magical place #Roslin... God knows where the cash is coming from., I wish it was younger players like Dan Holman.

The nadir of Shrimperzone in one post. Congratulations.

Interesting... this time last year you were banging on about Holman too!

No your not. Your are another one made up by the same person to allow his trolling to continue. Time for some action please moderators
 
Dan Holman at best is FL2 standard and would do better going back into non-league, like Conf National. Definitely not worth the risk wasting money on such a player....why do you rate him, Kev29?

I have just seen him week in week out, I feel full time with the right coaching and chances he will shine.

there is stuff he does our players do not, holding the ball up, backing in and turning..
 
I don't think mrsblue ever said she would not back a signing. The real deal is this.... Every player knows how important a pre season is, this guy has missed his, it's a fact.

This will put him back quite a few months, there is genuine fitness doubts.

Replying to your own posts now. Very sad

Given the amount of posts you have put up recently, you obviously feel strongly about our new man. I would be very interested to know what sort of experience you have to make some pretty sweeping statements about Hunt's fitness. Do you have a professional opinion, or have you played at pro level to be able to see so clearly? I'm genuinely interested.

As regards Holman, he came he went. We may have missed a trick but things have moved on and no amount of wishing for things will make them happen I'm afraid.

So is the above true?

Seen playing mostly against Conf Nat'l standard opposition at best I gather?
 
Dan Holman is useless, I don't rate him at all. I think a couple of Colchester's youth products like Curtis and Szmodics are better at their tender ages.

Dam..... I was just trying to convince myself, they all said the same about Hooper... I said no, but Tilly kicked him out.
