Checks out.

It's him. Was expected to be named on the bench, but there may be a registration issue...

 

[JAL]

So about Mooney, didn't seem like someone who wanted to leave when he came on? And also when he scored.

Although can help but feel he may have a bruised coccyx.

 

[Ricey]

Or maybe he is putting 110% in to get himself a move away?

Hopefully not because that is the Mooney I hoped we’d have last season and I want to see him thrive with us.

A defender from Ipswich is currently training with us with view to making a switch, I believe on loan, once the never ending embargo is lifted.

Harry Taylor's brother?

 

[annie1954]

I can’t imagine that to many players would sign for us while Ron martin is still running things just looking at his past late / none payments of wages surely better chance when he is gone if that day ever happens,

It probably isn't Jack Taylor, who signed for Town in June after they pursued him for months before securing the midfielder from Posh.

 

[BoyWonder2]

I can’t imagine that to many players would sign for us while Ron martin is still running things just looking at his past late / none payments of wages surely better chance when he is gone if that day ever happens,

There are literally 100s of players without a Club at the moment who would jump at the chance to sign for a Club, even though they may not be paid on time.

There are 100s of semi-pro footballers who would jump at the chance to sign for a full time Club.

Yea, when RM goes, that pool of players opens up even more, but the notion that no one would sign for us isn’t correct.

in that case we wouldn't have signed anyone either perm or loan for the past 25 years.

We are always in the news for late payments, winding up orders, HMRC woes etc. etc. yet we always sign players every season (when not under embargo obvs)

Elkan Baggott?

 

[Cricko]

Elkan Baggott?

Sounds like you need to see a doctor with that.

 

[WestStand95]

A big IF, but if WUP is paid in full on Wednesday how long after would we be looking at embargo being lifted?

I’d like to hope that if they were planning on paying it in full, at the same time conversations would be being held with the NL to get it lifted straight away.

But this is Southend United, we don’t make things easy.

 

[flangejackrabbit]

Elkan Baggott?

Hope so, definitely a player I would like to see here and also might do a bit to raise our profile abroad.

And even if embargo was lifted has Ron approved an increase in playing staff budget? Maybe some loans with parent paying all wages?

 

[Thundersley Blue]

There must be a budget for more than 16 players. However, my guess in the short term we will sign a few on loan. Kevin has said that he would prefer to have his own players rather than loanees, but needs must.

Theres another one straight after, this year's tax money we will have about 24 hours until it back in place

Not sure about that, I think we have to pay all monies due to HMRC by 23/08, not just the amount from the WUP.

 

[Barry.C]

Elkan Baggott?

I spoke to a Gills mate who said the 20 year old was very good for them in the loan spell was very confident and good header of the ball !
I wondered if it could be him as already gaining experience loaned out to Kings Lynn, Gills and Cheltenham. Would fit in as a youngster to develop, albeit on loan

Large following in Indonesia as born in Thailand but Mum is Indonesian and he elected to play for them. . 10X as many hits on his vids from Indonesians

A Lopata mark 2 would be handy?

 

[Shrimper]

Correct. Normally they'd wait for this one to be resolved but they (the league) are fed up with it so want it all paid
