A Bit of Fun Transfer Rumours Thread (Potential New Signings)

[Andy_S]

If the Akinde thing is a goer. I guess it will involve a transfer fee, as he has been listed with one year still to run on his contract. Are we going to forgo our compensation on Elvis, and effectively do a swap deal?

Speaking to someone from the Gillingham side of things, he doesn’t expect them to ask for a fee.

Nathan Blissett and Dave Winfield rumoured, anyone able to verify?

 

[Flinty]

Of course the assumption is that Akinde is the player in question and nobody has jumped to conclusions?

Winfield is a ridiculous suggestion! 33 year old non-league journeyman central defender who has only just signed for Chelmsford! Whoever's fed you that one is having a laugh!

Blissett just signed a new contract the other day at Maidenhead.

 

[Colchester and proud!]

There is talk of him coming to us but I hope not, I feel it would be a waste of money. We have just got a load of cash for Poku from Peterborough, Akinde wouldn’t suit our style of play.

Are gills after elvis?

Gillingham aren't Elvis.

Gillingham aren't even Shakin' Stevens.

Southend United still in talks with transfer target

SOUTHEND United remain in transfer talks with a target Shrimpers boss Phil Brown believes would ‘raise eyebrows’ at Roots Hall.

I suppose you could call the talks advanced? Let's wait and see. With all the hype I get the impression we'll know who it was in the end..............even if he doesn't sign up.

Would have been quality if not for injury. Was still class when finally fit for about 20 games then off to America lol

Was it that much of a disappointment when he signed? Seemed like injuries just wrecked him which is hard to predict if someone doesn't already have a record of it before signing (like Hyam).

Phil onto third base. Sounds like he could go all the way with Akinde.

 

[KiwiRob]

Perhaps a fresh speech from Phil yesterday has made that story out of date already? Or perhaps not?

One of the interesting things about this article is that Steve Evans said he wants to bring in new players (and presumably a new striker) before Wednesday or he will stick with what he already has for the game at the weekend. I think that this could be seen as a bit of a hint to Akinde he could find himself further down the pecking order after Wednesday and it is probably time for Akinde to make his mind about a move. Unfortunately, Southend is almost certainly not the only club after the Gillingham player.

Saucy.

I imagine if they ask for a transfer fee it would be nominal, much less than we would get for Elvis - they sound keen to get his wages off the book.

Don’t blame them.

Kiernan was injured when he signed.
