Yeah. He’s played 15 minutes of football (for Pontypridd United in the Welsh Premier) since being released by Dundalk in Ireland at the end of 2023.

Just heard the exact same . A CB and would be a loan

Colchester centre back Ben Goodliffe being rumoured from their side

Just a fans guess I think although it is a possibility, we only signed him this season from Sutton where he had played 225 games in 5 years, still only 25 years old. He scored 2 goals in our 1st game at Wimbledon but then suffered a very nasty facial injury that needed surgery.He has only played 11 games for us as others have been doing well and we have just signed another central defender after losing Aaron Donnelly back to Forest.

Same agent as Collin

Shall we wait for a more reliable source than ‘Hugh Janus’ before we melt down and start bollocking Shivaas on Twitter?

That's not how the social media world works and you know it!

Some clarity from the club would be helpful

No it wouldn't. Seriously, this is a rumour being posted on social media by someone with a made up name and because loads of our fans are sitting pressing F5 with nothing better to do, it seems to have got traction.

It is not the club's problem that people are wetting their pants about something that has, as far as we know, absolutely no substance whatsoever.

You can't demand a statement to rebut every silly nonsense on social media, nothing would ever get done.

Agree - although I initially did get exercised. Our transfer activity is funereal even by the most generous measure. Tumbleweed as far as the eye can see. But we need to remember everything we said about just having a club and next season is clearly the focus. Not giving up entirely on this season- but let’s be honest, not even the widest fantasist would say we are throwing money at it…

Well hopefully it has legs. Hopper with only one is bad enough!

 

[stewart]

People on here getting their knickers in a knot , calm down you will have a coronary. Wait for an official statement,im sure we will get that with the announcement of the team versus Daggers.

 

[bluesfansince1952]

Let’s not let the facts get in the way.

But it is much more fun to speculate someone thousands of miles away is excersising a veto.
If the post was a wind up fair play to the jAnus as it seems to have worked a treat.
If it was not a wind up we have a new ITK on the books.

 

[Rooster79]

I’m surprised this hasn’t already been shared.. (unless it has) Shivaas shut downs Anus!

 

[GBJ]

We don’t want to lock this thread - again - but it’s absolutely heading that way.

We all appreciate that discussions and debates have a tendency to evolve and digress, but this is a transfer rumour thread.

There are other threads to discuss Kev, COSU, sustainability, club statements etc etc etc.

 

[rararblue]

Good on Shivaas, though. You stick up for yourself! Glad you got involved in turning round our club.
And glad that we will be seeing Tom Hooper sign later.

 

[leeblue]

Would love to see a Midfield addition soon.
Like the thought of a CB coming in particularly in the search to stop our set piece woes, which btw i believe hopper will help with too.

And if you could read I said. IF , BIG IF

I think you need to re-read both your message and mine.

SOUTHEND United boss Kevin Maher is still trying to add to his Shrimpers squad.


Blues remain in talks with Colchester United striker Tom Hopper plus a defender over a loan deal from a League Two side.
At least two other targets have also been identified and work is being done on the deals.

“We’re trying and we’d like to do so business,” said Maher.

“Whether that happens before the weekend I don’t know but there are things ongoing.

“Fingers crossed we can but it’s not always as easy as you want it to be, especially the later it gets in January as well.”

Blues head to Dagenham & Redbridge this weekend looking to bounce back from Saturday’s 3-0 defeat to Barnet.

And Maher is determined to get back to winning ways despite not regarding the contest as much of a local derby.

“I don’t think it’s huge in terms of a derby game but we want to win the game,” said Maher.

“We want points on the board but whoever we were playing this weekend that would be the case.

“It’s been a really positive week but now we want the three points and that’s the main message for us.”

No announcement of any newbies which is disappointing probably we might see them come Tuesday
