I believe Akinola is training with us I’m unsure if it’s just fitness or not though.

It’s likely, he still lives in Southend and I’m sure he’s maintained a good relationship with the club.

Yeah. Inside knowledge is appreciated. Most folk understand that in life some things don’t go to plan. It’s pleasing this one did

Exactly this. I have inside knowledge on my own life but things can go to ****. For instance I might start Saturday morning being certain than I’m going to Wickes first thing but a last minute change of plan will mean I’m off to the tip instead. Now this doesn’t mean that I won’t still go to Wickes on the Sunday. It’s not an either / or situation.

What some of the comments on here have proven is that all opinions on the thread are welcome but playing the poster not the post is just plain rude and if you've done that you know who you are. So before you launch into a personal attack just have a think before you post.

Lucky you - we have to book the tip here.

If is when the arsehole in the old white flatback vehicle scraped my drivers door when he drove off. I don't do Sundays at Wickes any more.

Great news on the signings. Not seen any of them play but hearing good things about them all.

So…any new rumours? Was looking at page 1 and thought some people had mentioned Giovanni McGregor a few days back but doesn’t seem to have made the list…any reason for that? Has that one been disproved already?

Yes, Jack, makes the MTB day and the friendlies more interesting.
None of the signing look taller than average but all look lean.

To a father of a young child where every time you leave the house is negotiated, this post seems almost boastful

Marcus Dinanga of Dartford? Goal every 95 mins. Best ratio on the charts. He would get more than 13 goals with better service? Some of the names mentioned on here are much higher ratios.

I don't think it would be a terrible idea to hand him a 6-month deal if he can prove his fitness. I liked him as a player, he would fit our system and with Murphy and Cardwell out he would give us another option.

If the management team think they can find better I'm fine with that, but a fit Akinola is a decent player at this level.

 

[Blue Yonder]

Friendlies may be interesting this year. Players playing for a place and coaching staff looking for their best team. Not ‘it’s only about building fitness’.

 

[LennySUFC]

I'm really liking the direction that the Recruitment/Management team are taking with the squad. Not only are we bringing the average age of the squad down, we are signing players who have played a lot of games last season and it appears some leaders amongst them as well, (Taylor & GSM both had captain stints last season).

To put it into perspective, White+Coulson+Ogogo managed 29 games between them last season for us. We cannot afford to waste wages on that level of game time.

Last i read that the club was in talks with a striker .As the three brought in yesterday are all good players in there own right .Non were strikers so are we still talking to a striker if so who may it be ???

Taylor, GSM and Lomas could do double/triple of them combined with probably half the wages or so. Liking the the new look squad and way we're going.

Next signing should be Tom Clifford.

Has anyone heard anything about whether he’s agreed the contract offer?

Also Andeng Ndi, Benton, Davis and Coker.

They should all be in the building today and therefore able to put pen to paper.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

The other thing that’s different this year is, as far as I can tell, that we seem to be securing a lot of our first choice transfer targets so far. If we can get a couple more I think we have to be massively satisfied and we really should be a strong team this year. Exciting times!

I wonder if that is what they were waiting for, set today as decision day on whether they agree to the contract, and can speak to other clubs if they need/want to

Do you want to apologise now?

EDIT: caught up on the other posts now and guess the desire from the mods is to drop it.

So just say no offence meant at the time, think it was probably taken in the incorrect tone.
