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

[Supershrimper]

Someone with 17 goals now for Chatham. Banging them in for fun from striker, winger, midfield., taking all the pens, clearing the line relentlessly and setting the crowd alight with tricks and pace, Blimey he will be in goal next and score . Still 8 yellows might sour a young mans reputation. Ah well Musnt say the name or a few will froth. No not related or agent !

Name cockney rhyming slang for Aston Villa??

I must admit Chatham seem to be signing everyone and anyone at the moment.

Three Chelmsford players who have been linked with us were in action v Aveley this afternoon. Luke Jenkins, Charlie Ruff and Jermaine Francis. All played well in a game with four red cards, especially good performance from Jenkins who should be at a higher level.

 

[tottenham541]

Still think we should be going for Jermaine Francis at Chelmsford, his getting better all the time, it won’t be long b4 a league two club take a punt on this lad.

Scored a cracker yesterday against Aveley and got the assist for other goal.

 

[shrimperjon]

Just listened to Kevs interview from Yesterday

Kensdale - at least two weeks away
Gus- tight quad
Cards- tight quad

Think we need one or two more in even on loan. Thought JD looked tired yesterday and a big ask to play Saturday Tuesday and again this week and beyond

 

[GBJ]

If we are serious about getting out of this division next season then someone like McCallum on 26 goals already would be a good shout.

You need a player like that in your side if you want to win this league.

I'm sure we were interested before.

Yep, as far as I know he’d agreed terms and wanted to come here.

I’d like to think we’d go back in for him in the summer, which would of course require a bit of investment from the consortium. That likely hinges on Ron and the council though.

Just think what we might have done with Andrew Dallas and Paul McCallum up front

Let’s hope Ron doesn’t mess ANOTHER season up

Yes he did.

Andrew Dallas, who you mention as well, agreed terms with us TWICE.

Is that the Dallas who was an unused sub for our opponents yesterday?

 

[GBJ]

Is that the Dallas who was an unused sub for our opponents yesterday?

Yep same one.

He’s had quite a topsy turvy season, playing for three different clubs across two countries and multiple levels, but he’s the same Andrew Dallas who scored 40 odd goals in the previous two seasons.

He and Paul McCallum would have definitely given the partnership of Vilhete and Sandat a run for its money, that’s for sure.

and who's fault is it/was it that we could only sign players like that (and not Dallas/McCallum)?

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

and who's fault is it/was it that we could only sign players like that (and not Dallas/McCallum)?

The same person who had us in that position constantly for the past 25 years

How many really top signings did we miss out on purely because of Ron (either being too tight / too slow / too incompetent / too 'clever' by half negotiating / just having a ****e reputation)? I wonder how many managerial appointments might have fared better without Ron handling all recruitment and employee relations () matters?

 

[Smiffy]

Yep. We certainly need an experienced no.9 like McCallum and/or someone you can put your house on bagging 20 goals. Kabamba, Dinanga, or a punt on Pearce at Worthing?

SOUTHEND United boss Kevin Maher will look to sign a defender on loan ahead of Tuesday night’s match with Wealdstone.

The Shrimpers currently have just three centre-backs available for the National League clash at Roots Hall with Harry Taylor and Ollie Kensdale both still sidelined with injuries.
And Maher will aim to bolster his options if possible.

“It’s always tough but we will look to see if there’s someone to bring in to add to what we’ve got,” said Maher.

“It’s an area we’re a touch short in so if there is then we definitely will.”

Kensdale has missed the last two matches with a fractured cheekbone while Taylor has been out with a hamstring issue he suffered against Gateshead in early February.

“He’s (Taylor) doing some running with the medical team,” said Maher.

“That will continue this week and he’s getting closer.”
