His goal scoring record isn't fantastic apart from a two year spell at Orient.

Neither was Walkers, Cardwell wasn’t great and dare I mention Barry Corr … it’s completely irrelevant… why would we be potentially signing a striker that scores 30+ goals a season in the EFL in the national league

Look how many Southend players have had a low scoring record with us but gone on to score goals at other clubs

Yes as he went up the leagues the ratio came down- at Orient 45 in 90

I guess very similar to Tshimanga except he did better at L1 and got a league higher..

If we signed Bonne I would be even more impressed than if we signed Kabongo Tshimanga, what a signing for us at National League level

 

[jackj13]

It was definitely Bonne or definitely JD?

Both

 

[geoffmundo]

Both

Ah it was a Bonne Identity then....

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Is this a sign, I wonder (probably not, he’s just read SZ / X!)... not the main recommendation, but the other link

One player every National League team should sign

The first few games are completed in the National League. It is very much early days, but managers will have already used the opening rounds of fixtures to look at where they need to add to their s…

from the article
Southend United – Brad Dolaghan

If Southend United are serious about challenging for promotion, they ideally need to add more than just the one player; they have a worringly small squad (by far the smallest in the division) and so extra bodies are required to give them better depth, and importantly to allow Kevin Maher to manage minutes more effectively. They have since gone out and added the attacking midfielder they needed in George Moncur, and so instead I think that they should go out and add a forward. The player that I would go for is Brad Dolaghan.

With reports recently that The Blues are in the market to sign Sean Adarkwa, I made clear who I felt that they should go for instead and suggested that they try to bring in youngster Brad Dolaghan. He recently completed his move to West Ham United after impressing for The Hammers on trial during the summer, and with an immediate route into the first-team with The Hammers unlikely, I feel that he would benefit from going out on loan to get some more minutes under his belt to continue his development.

Dolaghan impressed last term with Worthing, and he is a player who caught the eye when I saw him play. He lead the line with such maturity and intelligence that was befitting of a player many years his senior. He can receive the ball with his back to goal, can make runs in behind, and links the play well. He is good in the air, whilst he is wiry he holds it up nicely, and he is a selfless, hard-working player that can run the channels and press smartly from the front. He offers Southend United a different type of striker to what they have, and after a good season with Worthing at National League South level, a move to Roots Hall would do him the world of good

we are NO LONGER by far the smallest, that honour goes to Braintree, but we are still quite small
Awaits mention of Bury and Scunthorpe

No thanks. We need a goal scorer proven at this level

 

[Thundersley Blue]

There is no doubt another forward would be useful, but we really suffered last season when Cards was injured. We need someone who could emulate what Cards brings to the team. Walker or Waldron will fine playing along side Harry, but how would they fare without him ? Bringing another player in similar to Walker and Waldron wouldn't be great in my opinion.

 

[SUFCGoals]

Would have been a great signing for the future if we were able to get him whilst he was a free agent. But for the present he’s not good enough for this league, especially to mount a promotion push.

So Bonne, whats the chances there?

well he’s not on the front page even orange yet so I’d say slim

It mentions Sutton should go for Pedder and Tamworth for Danny Waldron

I am not relying on that being the most updated info sorry

Yes, but like all good balanced analysis you have to ignore the bits that are totally barking and focus on the bits that align with your own desires.

More fool you then. It’s been bang on Trust the traffic lights

A little update from today's Peterborough Telegraph regards Tshimanga :-

Another bid for Kabongo has been rejected by Peterborough United

By Alan Swann

Published 21st Aug 2024, 16:00 BST

Posh have rejected a bid from an unnamed Scottish club for transfer-listed centre-forward Kabongo Tshimanga.
Posh have accepted offers from National League clubs for the 26 year-old, but the player wants to stay in the Football League.
League Two side Swindon Town are keen on Tshimanga, but they have only made an attempt to take him on loan by offering to 32% of his current salary.
Posh have dismissed that offer as derisory. They are more hopeful of selling the other transfer-listed players David Ajiboye and Romoney Crichlow before the transfer window shuts next week.
Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony said on his ‘Hard Truth’ podcast: “Our position with Kabongo is clear. We are asking for less money than we paid for him and offers from two clubs have been accepted. The Scottish club and Swindon haven’t offered enough.
"We are trying to do the best for our club and the player. He should go into the National League and score 30 goals in a season and then he would get back in the League.
