Echo News Southend United bring in Portsmouth forward Reeco Hackett-Fairchild on loan

[brigg blue]

Completely untried and unproven and unfair to expect too much from him. If he does well it's a bonus but it just shows how low our realistic opportunities of transformational signings really are.

Sounds just like a young forward we once signed who had only played in non-league.....

I know one shouldn't be suckered in by video montages, but this kid reminds me a little of a young Stanley Victor Collymore.

Dare to dream .....

I'm prepared to give him a chance. He should be more motivated to do well than some young prem forward who prob not to bothered about playing in league 2!

I did say a little, it was his athleticism and directness that led to the comparison.

No he didn't: Stan scored 11 in 35 for Stafford.

(FWIW Reeco scored 11 in 39 for Bromley in the National League).

Clearly clubs like Charlton and Portsmouth saw something in him but hasnt shown it to force his way into there first team. Looks like MM has been tracking him for some time so let hope he does the business for us,starting tomorrow

[tommy tucker]

he cant be any worse than acquah from what ive seen he can trap and head the ball .Which will bring others into play . That has got to be a plus .

 

[greyerfox]

I think the correct spelling of his given name is Reeco. But hey, if he wrecks the Barrow defence tomorrow who gives a ......

I see some comparisons to Collymore on Shrimperzone today.

That was 28 years ago ?!
A brace & a struck post on Reecos debut would be welcome ?.
No pressure son?
