Transfer News and Gossip Transfer Rumours Thread 2023-24

I thought we had signed a new player from photos I saw on the club’s social media account this afternoon but it is Harry Cardwell with a new short haircut!

The international call up of Kanu, the injury to Callum P have really shown where we are desperately short of options. I am sure the whiteboard has names on it and I wish I was confident that we can get some in asap.

Looking at the Southend team that faced Man Utd, we had two good players in their 30's in central defence.

I know (or I think I do) that the current "strategy/policy" is to go for younger players that have potential and can be developed but I still wouldn't mind seeing some older blood being brought into the team.

And come to that, some league players willing to drop down a league to get a new contract/play games and be part of a (hopefully) winning set-up.

Whilst there are examples of this not working, there are also examples of the opposite.

It's about the mix isn't it? Experience on the pitch is vital at times.

Totally agree, we are very jaded by the last years of bringing in crocks and has beens after a last pay day.

The difference is i feel as tilson did, maher would hopefully look at character as well, and therefore we shouldnt dismiss people by age.

Diego De Girolamo?

Diego De Girolamo?

Isn't he at Buxton, who are not in NLN I think. More likely to be JJ mentioned above I would have thought.

Apologies. Buxton are indeed in NLN

 

[SeaSideDoughnut]

Diego De Girolamo?

I think his names popped up once before. 101 goals in 79 games if his Wiki page is anything to be believed.

 

[flangejackrabbit]

Buxton didn't have a match last night

they drew with a Charlton second string. Methinks they - Charlton- may field a stronger side tonight

still, even their reserves should have destroyed an eighth tier side.

you would think. Maybe they should've recalled Kanu for the original game

No.

Kevin Lisbie's boy looks a handful tonight. Bit Raw but could be worth a punt.
