Quote[/b] (Kenny @ July 14 2006,09:35)]Bob Sills on the list is specualting it could be Walcott?!?!  Arsenal are loaning him out for the season apparently.

To West Brom apparently. The poor kid had probably been made bereft of any confidence due to Sven selecting him for the squad (sight unseen) and then clearly deciding he wasn't up to it.

But I digress!

I think we have a winner for most unlikely rumor of the season.

If we can get Abbott for a reaonably small fee then he will be a fantastic signing, definitely on his day one of the best strikers in L1, tall and strong but not bad on the ground either. Though I still think that would leave us a little bit short in terms of real pace up front...

Quote[/b] (Beefy @ July 14 2006,08:56)]Abbott didn't have the best of seasons last year but I was very impressed with him when Huddersfield came to Roots Hall. His goal that day - when he completely outmuscled Che Wilson and fired past Flavs, was a sign of what he can do and I think he could do a good job for us.

If its true...

No, it's true, it was definitely him that scored.

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

I don't think we are getting him, your mate is wrong, let hope he is right about getting Abbott!

 

[Midlands Shrimper]

Just read on the BBC message boards that Abbot didnt play last night , I wonder ?

 

[Shrimpbizkit]

He did play. They had 2 friendlies, he played against Harrogate it was 1-1.

his stats are second to none really, 70 apps, 39 goals in the league since 15-03-2004

To the contrary, I know one player who has scored 46 in 79 appearances since Autumn 2004

but that would be including either his loan period or his fa cup goals which i passed on.

Walcott isnt going anywhere according to one man in the know. I think Wenger has some links to the arsenal first team

Walcott Goin Nowhere

Is he any good, im actually not exited by this yet.

(Rather have sharp, parker, or grant, but i hope hes good abbott, give me some confidence.)

Be honest....did you just make that up? Wanted something to post? Your mate's mate's reliable source???!

Jeeeeeeeeezuz someone wake me up when the season starts

 

[fredheim_holm]

no i didnt make it up, but i just believed what he said, as he doesnt make things up, and i thought id inform the public of the chances of abbott signing, but now he played last night it seems almost certain that it was all a hoxe, i do apologise (and ill give that mate a good talking to

)

I thought he had DEFINATELY signed?

Have to say, I think this rumour is more in your head than your 'well informed friend' but I'll happily be proved wrong

I'm thinking closer to home. Perhaps more a number ten than a number nine. Maybe a number twenty three.

Southend united news

Ive heard rumours up in West Ham that ur about to take Good old Teddy Sherringham down to Roots hall... If u get him that will be a good signing.

Where did that come from?

 

[sufcintheprem]

For some reason, I have a really strong feeling that we are going to make a pretty decent signing today. Signs would point to it being a striker. Hope I'm not getting myself all excited for nothing!

Source: intuition.

 

[Mr. Benedict]

Sitp, you're getting excited for nothing I feel...

 

[South Bank Hank]

With no offence intended to anyone, CAN WE PLEASE LOCK THIS DAMN THREAD? Every time I log on, I see the words "Southend have signed Pawel Abbott".

Well, quite clearly we haven't.

We may well do.

But we haven't.
