Transfer News and Gossip Transfer Rumours Thread 2023-24 (Part 2 - Back in Business. Oh no we’re not)

[Strykr]

Without wishing to be mean, this news is just a tad meh.

Prove me wrong Sandat.

 

[Medway Blue]

My view too and hope am wrong, but Sandat for 4 weeks feels very much like doing us a favour to fill the one striker slot we need filling, not floodgates open due to embargo removal.

What you'll probably find is that the management team has been working under the assumption that the embargo won't be lifted today (as there is no guarantee), focusing immediate efforts on getting a few stop gaps in so we can field an 11 this weekend.

If the embargo does get lifted and 2 or 3 others join us before Kiddy too, then that's a bonus.

 

[Shrimper]

Couldn't see anything on TransferMarkt

Flashscores has him down as having three goals.

Scored vs Charlton, Milwall and Barnsley

Any one know if sandat will be available for tomorrow?

 

[southendkid]

I think Blair Sturrock takes that accolade quite comfortably

There were 12 games that Blair didn't start in the 2010/11 season, do you know how many of those we won? 2. That's a 17% win percentage, in contrast when Blair started we won 41% of the time.

His hold up play was vital to us not going down as expected that season, just because he was crap at shooting doesn't make him a bad player.

Unbelievable that people are moaning (though not surprising!!). We currently have no strikers, we're under the rules of an embargo, so who were people expecting us to sign!!!

He hasn’t “officially” joined yet…

 

[Richard Hearn]

Announce Sandat

I would take Sandat over someone like Kargbo

What about Henry Sandat over Henry Sandon?

Theres a difference between moaning and being underwhelmed.

We are on the cusp of the biggest and most important announcement in decades, i think the news of a 4 week loan for sandat is understandably a bit of a let down.

don`t forget the doom and gloom brigade are not happy on shrimperzone unless that can find something to moan about { just wait until the takeover happens then they can spend there time finding fault with the consortium members }

Scott Vernon for me.

Frank Nouble for me, what tops it off is that he’s also a massive ****

I actually rated Blair, felt he was unfairly treated by some, because of his goalscoring record, but his hold up play was excellent and if he did score more, he wouldn't have been playing at our level!

And Henry will just slot in he knows the system and hoe Kev likes to play. So even if others come in Henry makes sense IMO

 

[Morty01]

If it were to happen today he'd be on his way to RH from Hull by now. If not, he's probably in Southend right now

Having spoken to JR pre-Bromley I did forget to advise him to enjoy this period of goodwill towards him and the consortium because as soon as the takeover is completed and the fortnight honeymoon period has expired he will most certainly be getting flak if we are not knocking on the door of the Champions League.

 

[Ricey]

Not really understanding the ‘underwhelmed’ by the Sandat loan.

For me that’s a cracking loan, the lad really kicked on and showed he was a hell of a talent. Was picked up by a Championship club and will have been with quality coaches and players learning and no doubt improving.

What would you prefer he goes to Bromley or Borehamwood and bangs them in against us? We could get a young striker on loan from another Championship club and they be a Kargbo! We know Sandat, he knows us and he’s one of our own! Whats not to like about this?

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

All debts HMRC and all football debts have to be cleared for embargo to be lifted, with Ron stalling allegedly with council on amount of affordable homes in new FF 500 from RH, then the assurances for the Consortium just aren't going to be on place today for everything to be paid, cleared, confirmed and sanctioned by the NL to lift it.

Gonna Change my view on this, got to do a few jobs around the house first, but will put my latest info from a reliable source about an hour ago on the takeover thread..........

We struggled to get someone in last week, when we had space, so this is far better than nothing, so I'm certainly not underwhelmed we have someone coming in.

Who were you expecting us to sign?

The assurances came on Monday

Tease! You can't just flash a bit of leg then sod off - this isn't TOTS. Tell us what you know or the kitten gets it
