akinfenwa will hold the ball up well if he manages to stay under 17 stone this season ha ha

Aki and Spencer will rip the League!

I always said we'd sign Akinfenwa one day.

 

[Andy_S]

I beat you to it in the Sturrock players thread. ;)

*merge*

 

[Mighty Shrimper]

Happy with that!

This is very VERY true. He won't be happy at no onions in his burgers either...

 

[southend_aussies]

Well either the embargo will be lifted soon or Sky Sports don't understand what situation we are in.

 

[tottenham541]

we better get some proper grub in for the big lad.

 

[mattytheshrimper]

sounds good to me but then again i'd take anyone right now. very happy to get some permanent players in rather loanees all the time.

 

[Onion_Bag_Dave]

Right so we would have a front line of, Akinfenwa, Barry Corr, Matt Patterson, Scott Spencer and Harry Crawford.

Let's have it.

I hope Spencer isn't pushed out now, I wouldn't have thought he will be. I think most of the squad we have will stay.

I'm liking the Akinfenwa news. Yes he's as wide as a brick house with a body builders legs, but he's brilliant at timing his run's into the penalty box and putting the ball away. At last, some fire power.

Think tomorrow is going to be a big day, pay off the HMRC, PFA and getting the embargo lifted and signing these two amongst others.

Ron smirks on from his holiday shack in Camber Sands, smoking a cigar and whispering "I love it when a plan comes together"...

 

[Onion_Bag_Dave]

I do hope these don't fall through, I have always wanted Akinfenwa in a Southend shirt.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Akinfenwa is an absolute beast, just the sort of battering ram we need. Be very pleased with him.

 

[Sufc.2008]

Not a bad goalscoring rate either - 37 in 88 for Northampton.

Or administration, 10 points deducted, embargo to remain in place as a result, and a search for a new manager underway.

Now, Now. This is a good news only zone now isn't it ?

I think the manager will quickly suss out that Crawford is a good player but won't get many goals, and not quite ready yet (goes under one for the future category). So I think he will be left out of the starting line up the most from that lot

 

[Smiffy]

Quite a few clubs, especially from the SPL chasing him. So would be quite a coup really IF it comes off.

Yeah I agree, but you never know he might give him a go, aslong as he is sniffing around players like Akinfenwa's heels he will come on brilliantly.
