Breaking News Southend United sign Osei Sankofa

Let the negativity keep coming, it didnt do Barnard any harm.

Having seen him play a few times i think this is a good signing. It's a slight risk but every signing at this level is. We have got him on a free and probably aren't paying massive wages so it a gamble worth taking. He's not the biggest but he looks a good athlete and all in all he's probably a better version of Hunt.

Does he look like Jermaine Jenas or is it just me? :)

 

[Beefy]

To be fair he's not the only one in our squad to have played against Rooney.

True... but if our two out of contract players move on as expected and we get bids in for those on the transfer list then he will be.

James Walker, Steve Mildenhall and Osei Sankofa make it 3...

So it is .. Keep forgetting about Walker lol :thump:

good signing IMO love the instant slagging off as per usual on SZ, good luck I say

My thoughts as well. Sounds more like Lewis Hunt's replacement rather then competition for the Centre Back positions. If he was continually given new deals with Charlton then he must have something about him, so hopefully it works out and he can provide useful cover.

That's what we all said about Fredy when he joined. We all said he would provide useful cover for Bramble and Rawle. How wrong we were.

Don't know haven't seen you so can't compare.

Echoing many people on here I'd like to welcome Osei to our fine club, looks a decent signing to me, highly rated player who didn't quite break through at a higher level, he'll be hungry to prove himself and will provide some much needed competition at the back. Good luck to him, i hope to see him doing the Blue shirt proud.

Seems like a reasonable signing as cover. He has played top flight and league 2 so he has an idea of the game.

My only concern is that he probably wont get a look in at centre back as clarky and barrett will play alongside another defender when one comes in and at right back (his natural position) i cant see him dislodging francis.

So the only time he will really play is when two centre backs are out or francis is injured suspened.

If he is happy with that then fair enough.

 

[Pubey]

I'm pleased by this signing, ticks all the boxes and will settle in well with Walker

 

[Desert Shrimper]

Well it is for a centre-half. Both Barrett and Clarke are that height and are frankly short. I am 6'1" and do not consider myself to be tall.

I've let myself go a bit since my heyday, but I still look good in my wrestling trunks.

The usual mix of hes decent to hes not so decent and there is a mention that ac or inter milan were looking at him when he was younger.
