Did he add anything when he was here last?

Management team seem to rate him. Good enough for me.

 

[kentblues]

Macauley Bonne?

Doubt we would meet his expectation on wages..

Free agent tho?

 

[Callumturner22]

Macauley Bonne?

interesting one been fairly local previously too

 

[Tommy2holes]

Macauley Bonne?

Really good shout and a decent player.

Only 28 but I would have thought he would want to play league football and his wages will be high.

A Zimbabwe International too

 

[Andy_S]

He's on the books of a League One club, there is a bit of a difference I think. For example he could be part of their Under 21/23 squad?

Yeah I’m quite aware.

 

[Thundersley Blue]

Whoever comes in to add to our forward options, needs to be able to replicate the way Cards plays. I don't see that in most of the names mentioned.

He's the perfect sort of backup player, Management obviously like him and remember that away game (Boreham Wood?) when he basically turned into Zidane - so he's got something in him.

I wouldnt hate it.

He showed some real promise at times and at others looked far from being what we had hoped.

I liked Dackers and was one of the small section of fans that stuck up for him last season. However, even I would be slightly disappointed if we were to sign Dackers when we've been linked to the likes of Tshimanga. That's not going to bring us the extra goals and conversion rate we need.

If we were to sign him and then use some of the extra wages (he can't be on that much) to use towards another CAM like Moncur, then I'd be happier.

Connor Wilkinson maybe? Not featured much up the a12

 

[Blues4LifeDan]

Think I have the goalkeeper. Was given six names and only one of them is at a League One club, but won’t name him.

Striker, I’m not sure. From the wording, I guess he used to play National League but doesn’t anymore. Obviously Tshimanga fits the bill, but CP seems to be saying no. Will do some digging around. Others have mentioned Dalby who would fit the bill, would love him back, but not sure that’s doable.

Dalby is way better than NL now surely.

Others have mentioned Cheek but even if we ignore the wages, surely he has earned his chance to play in league 2. He won't want to give that up and with Bromley's tight budget, they'd find it hard to find a replacement.

Is Hopper being used up the a12? We was linked with him before Cowleys took over

Hope it ain’t hopper. Done **** all in years now.

No Conor will be leaving us he hasn’t even trained during pre season but still has a year on his 18 month deal, he just isn’t part of the Cowley's plans. Danny has said they are trying to sort something out for him to leave and find another club, but obviously don’t want to pay up his full years contract. I think he was told he could leave a few months ago at the end of last season, poor bloke only arrived in January and we paid a fee for him too!

 

[Colchester and proud!]

I doubt it, the Cowley's really rate Tom, he is being played in a slightly different role to what he was playing before and it seems to suit him.

 

[Andy_S]

I did wonder if Conor Wilkinson was someone we’d be looking at - he had a very good spell in this league with Dagenham a few years back.

 

[flangejackrabbit]

I wish it were Dalby, I would absolutely love that, he has the secret link up ingredient we don't quite have but I think it's unlikely.

 

[tommy tucker]

Who ever Kevin brings in im sure he willonly bring in players that would complment the squad we allready have .Only time will tell . But i guess one player to sign is allready training with the first team squad .

 

[JAL]

You can tell when fans do not know any other players other than ex players of Southend, although that may have been ingrained in people's mind due to managers like Phil Brown, where signing ex-players was a common thing.

We're probably going to sign players we've not heard of or seen, the likeliness of us signing an ex-player is highly unlikely unless its within reason and worth.
