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

[bluesfansince1952]

No, he a really isn't. I would be happy to see him in on a short term deal to prove himself.

Is Ron Pountney available?

 

[Mad Cyril]

He's got a house being built in Billericay that needs paying for

My bet is that he wasn't relying on a non league contract to pay for it.

I'd imagine those two years at Sheffield United put him in good stead to pay for it.

 

[Whispering Bob]

Surely it wasn’t 8 years ago? That’s gone very quick if it has! I swear he played in the play off final?

He did, arguably his most effective act in a Blues shirt happened in that game, when he took out Sam Saunders in the first second.

I don’t know if anyone mentioned him what do people think of a Gary Deegan he is 33 but still playing in Ireland , tough midfielder.

Last I heard he was playing walking football.

No thanks

Didn’t rate him the first time round, definitely not this time!

 

[Streaky]

With so many players around, reduced squads, smaller budgets I think there will be more players taking early offers (rather than hoping a better pay day is around the corner).

Will Atkinson has just started following Southend on Instagram ?

Please no!

Ffs . Fresh blood is what we need! Their **** load of players out of contract this summer...... we don't need to be signing old players who other clubs don't want.

Yeah I heard the same. Not sure about the mideifleder. Common consensus that it's Bridge, but I very much want to see Josh Rees coming in.

 

[Scamps]

If oxley leaves I would go for the canvey keeper. He played a blinder in the fa cup against Boreham wood. ?????

Why would PB sign Jack Bridge when he did not rate him when he was at Southend? He has hardly set the world on fire since then. Besides, there a number of more prominent midfielders in the National League that are available.

The Zone version of Godwin's Law.

"The longer the transfer rumour thread goes on the probability of people mentioning ex-players from 5-10 years ago as "being able to do a job for us" as though they have been in cryostasis for those years approaches 1."

You aren’t being biased are you !

No idea, you'll have to ask him. That's just the rumour that's been going around. Apparently he was very close to signing last summer but our transfer embargo stopped it. You're right, PB didn't seem to rate him but we're 2 divisions lower now and apparently Ricky Duncan loves him. So I guess it'll show how much influence he has!

Like I said, I'd much rather we sign Josh Rees.

Not sure PB didn't rate him, he gave him opportunities but Jack wasn't as good as so many on here claimed.

At least got a fee for him when he went to Northampton.

Thanks Bexley Blue for the information. Like you, I would prefer a proven midfielder in the National League like Josh Rees or James Ball.
