More importantly he’s now on the front
page of this thread…

That could be handy!

If you could pick one forward from the 3 we are supposed to be interested in, then. Who would you choose?

 

[leeblue]

Having three CFs at the moment was shown to be light as soon as one injured options limited. Another CF then we good.

 

[leeblue]

We need another attacking cm. If noor and moncur get injured we are left with all holding midfielders again.

Never been a better time to bring in a young un that moncur can mentor

Wood? Coker?

The one that really wants to wear our shirt and would be proud to represent Southend United.

If he does not cost our club a huge fee, my vote would go to Sean Adarkwa. He would provide cover and competition for Harry Cardwell where as Macauley Bonne and Kabongo Tshimanga would seem to be mainly vying for the second striking spot where Southend already have Walker and Waldron. However, I just noticed Bonne is apparently 5'11"so maybe he could be considered as cover and competition for Cardwell's striking role after all.

Bonne opened the scoring in the 6–2 win, first scoring after 26 minutes, before levelling with a header just before half-time after Wealdstone had scored two goals. He sealed his hat-trick just after half-time, before rounding off his scoring in the 68th minute with a deflected header from a George Moncur effort.

Saw this on wikipedia. Bonne and Moncur have made goals before !

Morton has an agent ? Jeeeesus ( no pun intended)

Bonne's goalscoring record has not been great for the last 4 seasons and nearly 29 so i would prefer the other two potential striker signings. My Gills mate said he is awful.

There must be a reason that he is still a free transfer in late August

Three of those 4 years he was at Charlton, QPR and Ipswich - we are in the NL.

Last year he started at Gills in L2 13+12 4 goals. May not have excited your Gills friend, but his manager at Gills went to Cambridge in L1 and signed him again.

Possibly Neil Harris is more knowledgeable about a player than your Gills supporting mate. Who knows. I remember in L2 signing a player from the leagues above who hardly played and was always injured. BBBC.
Then more recently Simon Cox- hardly played at Reading, useless, past it we were told..and then there was Fortune, dreadful signing, what were we thinking…

In Kev and JS I trust.

I certainly know at Charlton he was used mainly as a winger.

At Orient he got regular game time and used as an out and out striker.

Not sure about Gills.

So positional selection and the higher up the leagues he played in could be two key factors in his goal returns.

 

[Roger The Alien]

I suspect that that’s way off the mark. I have mentioned on a number of occasions that the club couldn’t even match my lads salary at Bromley, the season before last.

You must be proud of your son as he started the season for Bromley fantastically well. @Shepshead

I’d take any of them tbh .

 

[SUFCGoals]

Signing any of Adarkwa, Bonne or Tshimanga would show great intent for the season with not many clubs being able to afford any of those three at this level.

All have good track records in this division so would be happy with any of them. Although Tshimanga would be the standout.

 

[kentblues]

I notice radio silence from the ITKs - not sure what that means for the speculation around Bonne..
