Transfer News and Gossip Summer/Autumn Transfer Targets/Rumours Thread 2022

That VNL Insider page is bollocks. My bet is a bored kid sitting in his bedroom, just like 99% of every other Twitter page that claims to have an inside scoop on transfers.

Have faith in the football department and don’t believe it until you see them holding a scarf.

If we were gonna sign a striker we wouldn’t be signing one with such a poor record. It doesn’t make sense. We will if at all be looking for a 20+ a season scorer at this level.

20+ goal strikers do not come cheap, you're better off going for someone with a consistent lower goal rate over a few seasons and build them up. Or if you're lucky, get them when they're out of contract and send Stan Collymore to their house to kidnap them to Boots and Laces

Edit: I put 'Dont come Cheek' because he popped in my head when typing

Exactly, cheek. Never felt they would be cheap. But goals win games and getting out of this division as we’ve seen is hard. A fox in the box may what we need

I knew Mussa was a target months ago. As I was told he was watched by at least two senior figures at the club and it was one of them who told me. Let’s hope as reported he has signed as they really rated him.

Barnet have signed Dale Gorman and York have re-signed Alex Whittle.

Isnt Dale Gorman that weird man who had a comedy show on Dave?

Hang on!

Are you saying that some of the things on Twaddle aren't true?

Well, I'll go to the bottom of my stairs.



[Yes, it would be more surprising to read that some of the posts ARE true - Ed]

We might have some strong rumours, but I think Hereford Lads Club FC might be in for Trialist

No Dave Gorman has a comedy show on Dale!

When I try and think abouts clubs that are bigger etc or on par with us , use this analogy. Talk to a football fan on any holiday around the world and say ‘ I’m a Southend fan’ you will normally get ‘ahhhh the shrimpers ‘ or ‘ aah rootshall is that still standing ‘ . Try saying your a Dagenham fan you will get silence and maybe an ‘ooh good for you ‘

Don’t worry about the Dagenham nonsense

When I meet new people now and get on the convo of being a Southend fan I normally get asked "what league are they in now?" and I die a little bit inside.

Exactly right.

But equally, Simply Shrimpers is also another account that chucks names out. As said, you throw enough ****, and some will stick.

According to them, we signed Sam Smart (Was never a target) and Shep (We know the story there). They have since deleted the tweets.

They put up the Lomas story, after it was on here, and claim to be the first to break that news as well.

I’ve found, other the years, CP is usually very well informed and then it’s a collection of ITK people on here. There are no accurate Twitter accounts “breaking” transfer rumours for our level, on when we were in the Football League to be fair.

There should be good news next week once again, and we are still in talks (which are progressing nicely) with a striker which I mentioned previously.

Should the striker, and the “good news” come to fruition, and assuming those out of contract put pen to paper (and with them starting pre-season with us, that looks promising) I think the squad will be 95% done.

Loans to fill in gaps as and when required as well, I.e. injuries/loss of form/suspensions etc.

I still think my favourite ITK tip was from Ron himself prior to MM's appointment. Made me quite a bit of money that day!

Moussa is a done deal for us, completed today but can’t announce until FA reopen Monday to complete his registration. I’ve even seen his first interview video before anyone starts it’s fake news etc. We were prepared to pay a higher fee (£20k plus add on’s) to muff than the other interested clubs.

Franck Moussa is coming back?!?!?

 

[BALDY]

The Ideal thing to say to ask any Dagenham and Redbridge "Let's talk about the clubs that you killed off and the grounds that you have destroyed".

Good to hear that one positive thing came out of that appointment then (sorry mods off topic I know).

Never knew who he was until Friday morning so couldn’t give to ****s either way

Bit of a weird attitude.

Must be legit seeing as you have taken the care to spell his name correctly.
