Breaking News Outward Loans

[Mick]

DIVISION One North side Great Wakering Rovers have brought in three players from neighbours Southend United on loan, including midfielder James Stevens who made one Football League appearance for the Shrimpers last season.

The others are George Artemi and George Smith, though the latter will not link with the club until he returns from Republic of Ireland Under-19 duty.

how long are the loans? It's a good move because obviously Rovers are semi-pro and so they'll continue to train with us mainly but they'll get regular competitive football and can be closely monitored.

 

[Shrimpersfan]

definitely a win-win situation this!

 

[tottenham541]

think at least one of them were season long loans, not sure about the other two.

 

[Good feet for a big man]

Thought Stevens could play higher than Wakering, surely Canvey, Aveley or East Thurrock he would suit but first team football anywhere is better than not playing at all.

Id say loan until xmas so all the players have match sharpness if need to be called upon

 

[undercovershrimper]

they are all season long loans

If anyone is interested in seeing the lads in action for Rovers, tonight they have a friendly against a West Ham United XI at Burroughs Park 7:45pm kick-off admission adults £5 under16's £3.

I tell you what, Rovers desperately need those players. They've had a terrible pre-season, beaten and outplayed by Essex Senior League clubs amongst others.

Yep.
I think I could get in their side to be quite honest!

unfortunatly i couldnt play last night but yes i know how he gets after loses, 5-3 against southend manor wasnt it??

but we have a cup final against braintree tomorrow night and will be playing in that​

 

[Thorpe Groyney]

Ooh, there could be trouble a-brewing at the Len Salmon Stadium. Final score in the derby match: Bowers & Pitsea 2, Basildon United 5!



Edit at 11.30am - Didn't need to be a Mystic Meg to see this one coming. Manager of Bowers & Pitsea becomes the first managerial casualty of the season. Losing a derby match is one thing, losing a derby match at home is another, but losing a derby match at home 5-2 is obviously a step too far.

MJL has gone on a months loan to Braintree.

He's playing for Braintree at Darlo today - the commentator said it was a season long loan.

No - I've checked the teams on the Sporting Life site. He wasn't even on the bench. Seems he's being kept out of the side by another new signing Lewis Merrill-James :nope:

That's weird - the BBC Essex bloke definitely said "Merrick James-Lewis on a season long loan from Southend"!
