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

Would love to see peak (and fit) Andy Thomson at this level.

Too right! He's a top bloke too, when I met him in the Legends Lounge on 10 Feb this year.

Joins Braintree with Finley Wilkinson, who we were after last season and (i believe) failed a medical

Let's not forget this thread is about transfers concerning Southend Utd predominately. If you have a discussion idea for something else to share, then start a new thread.

Obviously our defence is fine our midfield is fine and our forwards are fine too.
The subs bench provides strength to cover for injuries and for tactical changes so we don't actually need anyone either permanent or on loan!
So I will be most surprised if we don't beat Solihull Moors most convincingly 1-0, have agrest day out to our travelling supporters and remember to leave your drones at home!

If all of those positions are fine why are we playing so poorly? 2 wins in 10 this year and not looking great in over half of those. Francis would have added some pace for a start.

I hear we have our eye on an 'experienced' sight impaired player from Crowstone Prep

No denying there are players available at the moment.

Not a position we are looking at allegedly, but Maidenhead have signed 24 year old defensive midfielder
Tariq Uwakwe from Swindon.

He has a 15 game loan spell at Accrington, from Chelsea, then 44 for Crewe permanent, then 8 so far from Swindon under his belt, so a fair amount of league experience.

All our rivals seem to be getting further ahead of us and we seem to be standing in treacle.

I can't speak for anyone else, and I like your posts, but I consult give a **** who Yeovil or Hartlepool or Wickford Town have signed.

Southend United did sign Paul Clark from Wickford Town and Steve Tilson was also and ex Wickford Town Boy... thats when we had scouts watching local kids play.

 

[overseas shrimper]

Well, if Wiggy is now in his/her nineties then it could well have been.

They grumble like they are.

Interesting, because they must have missed Steve Tilson. He was recommended by Danny Greaves who was, at the time, Witham manager.

Are you forgetting Bonne, Moncur, Walker, Wind, Hillson, Pepple & Forson?

Witham Town ;-)

No, Not at all, do you want me to put that as a prefix in every post, but for weeks and weeks we are being told we are:

a. short of bodies
b. trying to bring players in, but they are not available.
c. due to injuries we haven't got many options to change the team around and we need more bodies

There are players available and other clubs are bringing them in, but for us, they may not be, because:

a Not the right position
b within our budget
c want to come to us

But not available, sorry I am not wearing it.

(with the exception of Bonne, Moncur, Walker, Wind, Hillson, Pepple and Forson).

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

genuine question, there's some decent free transfers available. why haven't we snapped up more of them? not saying Dwight Gayle, but they aren't earning or playing so why not?

 

[Target man]

I wonder what GSM's release clause is set at?

Hopefully not at 8 goals ....

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Memories about our own playing failures past, random local footy teams and school football team stuff has all moved to its own thread folks. This one is back on transfers please….

 

[londonblue]

Witham Town ;-)

Don't know what you mean!

 

[Shrimper83]

So now kensdale is released surely his wages have been freed up, could we be seeing a signing today? ITK'S??
There are still loads of free agents I know they will be behind on fitness but some are decent

 

[Westcliff Shrimper]

Or they paid too much wages on players that not up to the job.

Well, we've been there!

 

[Linda Loan Shark]

Hornchurch have thrown a can’t refuse offer to him

So we lost out to Hornchurch?
