He'll blow the opposition away with his gale force pace

Thats just a lot of hot air.

Apparently has asked for a lifetime supply of Rennies to be included in the deal.

Shame we couldn't get someone like Amanda Staveley involved with the club (recently left Newcastle) knows her onions so we'd defo get an improvement at the burger bar. Proper football person though.

Hope he lays off the sprouts before he plays

Hope it’s not a wind up

Seen him play many times for Billericay. Always looks one of the best players on the pitch. Very similar player to GSM so would be very good competition for the RWB spot. be pleased with this signing if it comes off

Would explain interest cooling in Otseh-Taiwo.

@LondonShrimper always strong on rumours but CP tends not to report until deal is done so

An ex colleague messaged me last night to say that we are looking at one a son of his colleagues. I'm guessing local as my mate hasn't changed jobs for going on 17 years and still works in Chelmsford. Trying to get a name from him but its like getting blood from a stone

I was in the know (sort of) for once in my life i was in the know yet thanks to my mate I still had no clue

I’d say, if we brought in another goalkeeper (potentially the lad from Arsenal), Wind, Pedder & Tshimanga on top of deals already done for Gubbins & Walker, we’d have had excellent summers worth of business, considering how far behind we started and the top targets we missed out on.

This would be acceptable.

Oh, I thought it was a wind up....?

Have you got any idea of the targets we’ve missed out on?

Still think a pacey type who runs at the opposition is needed, someone that could come off the left and fit in as an attacking midfielder too to give Bridge some rest. Really likes Aaron Rowe for Gillingham at the weekend, someone of that mould would still be a priority for me

Yes.

 

[dusterman]

Pearce for one.

Surprised we haven’t offered Zuriel Otseh-Taiwo a deal but equally we don’t know what he was seeking. Saw enough to suggest he can do a job at NL level. We need a few more in the door and Pedder may be one. We still have time. Better to be light and then bring in available players, that may not have been an option after EFL deadline ends, than sign lesser players to make the numbers up

Really? Saw him at Great Wakering, who are four levels below us and at Bishop’s Stortford, who are two levels below us.

The gap looked greater between him and Gus (admittedly one of our better players) than between him and Wakering.

Then against players two divisions lower at Stortford he didn’t stand out as superior to them.

He doesn’t appear to offer any positional versatility (he played LWB long enough to see that’s not realistic), seemed an unremarkable athlete (small, didn’t demonstrate pace) and is already 23 years old so limited projectability, especially as he looked fairly well coached so you’re not going to get much more out of him by coaching him up.

If I had to categorise him I’d say maybe low end NLNor S/high end Isthmian Prem?

Wouldn’t be an upgrade IMO over Leon Davies who we released two(?) years ago.

How likely is the Tshimanga deal as it stands?
