BLUES boss Steve Tilson has suffered more setbacks in the transfer market, but hopes there will be better news tomorrow.
The Seasiders chief has been unsuccessful in his pursuit of two strikers and also failed in a swoop to bring Hal-Robson-Kanu back to the club.
“We wanted Hal back until the end of the season but Reading only wanted to let him out for a month,” said Tilson.
“Because of the loan rules we couldn’t get him here for just a month as he’s already been here and he’s now gone to Swindon which is disappointing.”
Tilson hopes to be more successful tomorrow and is looking to bolster his small squad with two more loan signings.
One is believed to be a young defender currently on the books of a London based side in the Premier League.

Believe it when I see it

He says we need some experienced old heads in the side and yet still goes for another young defender!! Did think that was probably the case with Robson-Kanu and I assume the same regards to Sawyer. Can't believe we are still only loaning players, would be nice to see some actual Signings not loans. We shall see what happens tomorrow.

 

[palexander]

Not sounding promising still is it?

Still loans, still youngsters! :(

I'll take the bodies as we will struggle to put a side out for Saturday, but the hopes of permanent deals are fading fast.

Wonder if the youngster is the West Ham defender that was mentioned on SZ a while back... forget the name.

Loans are good but is still going to make a unsettled sqaud.

But I would take loans over no one.

You must remember that the January transfer window is an extremely difficult time to actually sign players. The vast majority of Clubs are looking for the same thing and the selling Club can get an auction on the go if they are looking to sell.

You don't tend to see quality players from first teams moving on during January, for example We need a goalscoring centre forward and Clubs that have them Bristol Rovers (Lambert), Derby County (Dickinson) etc don't need to sell them because they need them for their own season.

Loans seem to be easier to do, I just hope these loans are mid-long term ones.

is it just me that thinks that we need a permanent signing all season we have had loanees and i think while they have been good when they leave they have left the blues in trouble and is part of why we have dropped in league form as some key members of the spine of the team have returned to their parent clubs
however i would rather have a loanee than nothing but i would rather tilly was spending more time trying to get someone permanently
and while we are in need of a striker i am worried hes looking at 2 strikers and a centre back after not getting hrk when we are in desperate needs of some wingers

We do need permanent signings in, there is no doubt about that, but loan signings are easier to complete during the January transfer window.

Remember, we haven't been able to sign anyone since the 31st August until the 1st Jan, so we couldn't bring in players then.

 

[Tampa Blue]

Yawn - this is boring.

Will RM spend?

Have we any money?

Loan players mean an unsettled Team - something that Tilly has bemoaned all season.

Southend sign someone permanently? - reminds me that I need to tell my son that Father Christmas is a myth as well!!

Daryl Powell has been released from Derby, would his experiance not come in handy for the remainder of the season, on a short term basis. Can add some competition and know how to the back four or even the midfield.

Prob get loads of responses saying "donkey" etc etc.

However, personally think we can do a lot worse ...

 

[cockles is back]

And Sawyer as well I believe.

if you think this looks promising, me and you have obvioulsy set ourselves differnet standards in life pal,

looking at that fills me with sorrow

More like preparing for league 2

 

[Andy_S]

For f**ks sake, yet more loans. Number 10 & 11 to arrive tomorrow then?

Of course if it's someone who we could possibly sign in the summer then it can be excused. If they're both kids who won't be signing full time then meh.

Darren Powell. Darryl Powell left Derby some 7 years ago. ;) Although we do need experience? ;)

As for Darren Powell, I suggested him on here last week. A big, strong, dominant centre back who has hundreds of games under his belt and is on a free.

I hate loans and just think they are not the sort of people we need in when we are in th postion that we are in.

Not ideal, but as debated earlier in the thread sometimes it's your only option, and beggars can't be choosers.

 

[Andy_S]

We're due to field some players on trial from Premiership clubs tonight at Canvey, so if they impress we could end up with even more young players.

 

[sufcalways]

Any player would be a fabulous signing at the moment we are desperate

 

[watchtheballboys]

Why loan when we could buy??

With all this talk of loan deals would someone tell me how much money we made from the unexpected and unbudgetted for Chelsea games.

There must be extra in the pot what with the away day at Chelsea and home match with the TV rights??

Where has this money gone or where is it going????

Just a question as we hear of so many teams in financial difficulties who would probably welcome the chance to sell even their best players for hard cash.

What worries me is, as I said in a previous thread, the gate against Yeovil could be an indicator as to what to expect for the rest of the season. So what was the budget at the start of the season?? 7500/8000 per game??

Anyone know......
