Transfer News and Gossip Transfer Rumours Thread 2024/25 - Time to Cook 👨‍🍳

Walker. Not much in it, and neither are big fees or even six figure fees.

I thought they’d be somewhere around the £50,000 mark, maybe a touch lower.

Still shows we have invested in the side this summer.

Southend United boss Kevin Maher on his search for new signings​

SOUTHEND United boss Kevin Maher is unsure if he will add to his squad ahead of tomorrow's match at Oldham Athletic. On-loan Luton Town youngster Bim Pepple is currently the only striker available for the Shrimpers, but Maher does not know at this stage if he will have bolstered his options before Blues line up at Boundary Park.

"I don’t know right now, that’s the honest answer" said Maher. "We’ll try, but it’s the most difficult period of the season. No-one wants to let players go, especially the areas we’re looking. People have got their squads together, and they’re still settling in to what they’re doing for the season."

"We’re working as hard as we possibly can behind the scenes but getting value for money at this stage of the season becomes very difficult."

I keep wondering if we're still keen on Adarkwa as replacement for Cardwell but this is held up with his injury. Maybe there is a delay in getting in a loanee as they don't want to use up all the budget and miss out on their key target in a month or so when he returns from injury. No inside knowledge, just speculation on my part.

No smoke without fire regards Adarkwa. There's definitely been interest, despite a bit of trolling from Wealdstone and others. Whether that is solid enough to warrant a bid and continued interest, despite his injury....I guess we will find out soon.

Odd one as the player himself described the injury as a “tight hamstring”. There again until a scan they a notorious to diagnose in terms of seriousness

Lower.

Lower.

Do l recall correctly that Cardwell was approx £35k plus add ons?

Where did Ron find £35k for Cardwell?

 

[WillMay333]

Wasnt Lopata around £500/700k ? I may be wrong and am I right in saying we never actually paid the full fee?

 

[WestyReturns]

He didnt - it was borrowed (debt). Same as everything else SUFC paid for 15+ years.

not a chance

 

[WillMay333]

not a chance

Any idea what the fee was?

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

In all likelihood, it was ultimately paid by COSU!

 

[JWShrimper]

A slim to no chance of a signing coming in by tomorrow, I take it?

I guess the plan is to use what we have for 2/3 games until we can get Walker back, and just wait until we find a good fit

 

[overseas shrimper]

Any rumblings on a player or 2 coming in before tomorrow's game?

 

[WillMay333]

Pretty sure it was a free transfer.

Ah. No clue where I got that figure from but I was somewhat certain it was a high fee, thanks for correcting

 

[crypto]

No.

More than likely it’ll be Moncur, or possibly Wood, playing off of Pepple.

Personally, i hope it's not wood. If we are to play wood, he seems much more affective on the right wing in a 3-4-3 formation.

Well one would ask why he is signing for AFC Flyde at 31 and not remaining in the EFL?... if that is ****ing you off then don't ask about some of the players we missed out on
