Wow... Southend United have signed Simon Cox (Out of Contract) from Reading.
Thats a really good signing for them, someone who hasn't scored lots of goals yet last time he was in League One he scored 46 goals over around 80-games
Would have loved him at the Valley!!
Southend have a proper CEO.
Southend have more ambition! Seriously starting to think that lessons haven't been learnt with this lot, balancing the book is the only ambition they have.
They have learnt lessons & have proved it by bringing in an English manager & signing 3 players with experience of the league that we're in ................... they've just under estimated this division & come next May they'll apologise for mistakes made & declare, We start from here !!!!!
Cool, so if we want to go for promotion, just another 6/7 to buy in the next 3 weeks. And maybe an assistant manager would be useful.
Just had it on good authority we are in talks with goalkeeper from the Scottish leagues with vast experience in league 1. Seems to think it could be a guy called Owen van Williams, never heard of him myself
I am a fan of Kenneth Williams and Just William neither of whom play in goal or claim Belgian ancestry but would add some much needed class to this sad fiasco.
Sadly no one of true note, an old school friend who says he is still close to Steve Avory... both mine and my me mates old P.E teacher.
We both got on really well with him. My mate was properly teachers pet though.
He also said Harriott will be in the squad next season as Slade apparently likes him.
It could be B.S, I don't know why S.A would be involved in first team rumours but finger crossed on him being right on one of those two.
He has no reason to lie as he is a Man Utd fan and we literally mean nothing to Manure and it'd be a crap couple of rumours for this guy to make up seeing as he 'has a soft spot' for us.
Cant help but feel our squad is going to be much weaker come the end of this August than what it was at the end of August the season we won league 1. With teams in the league always getting stronger, i cant help but feel we are underestimating the league and gonna get found out. We need 4/5 more really good signings plus keeping the Kashi's,Tex's and lookmans for us to be able to challenge, and i really dont think under this regime that will happen.Got visions of there statement in March 2017 when we are 16th in the league being the same as what it was earlier this year.

They know they made mistakes over the last 2 1/2 years, but this season they promise to make different ones

I've just seen katrien at London Bridge station. My first thought was 'I would" then I realised who she was and I've now got sick in my mouth. Her train arrived and I had 10 seconds to think of a witty comment to make but my decision making was similar to Kevin lisbies when one on one with a keeper!!
2 more bits of info have come in by ever reliable text message.
Slade is not particularly happy with some of the outbound transfers but understands in order to buy we must sell.
According to the manure supporting source Avory said we need the following to rival the last promotion chasing side:
1 GK 2 CB's 1 LB 1 RB 1 CM 1 LM 1 RM
So 8 more players to have a chance at promotion. ------------------------------------------- END OF RUMOUR ------------------------------------------- In My opinion we'll set up as follows:
------------Hendo Solly---- Tex ---- Bauer---- Fox ------------Diarra Harriott-------------Ceballos -----------Holmes ------Ajose------Novak
or New all positions ------------GK RB------CB------CB------LB RM---------CM---------LM ----------Holmes ------Ajose----Novak

Get used to it Russell.
P.S. I wonder if he is sure that in order to buy we must sell, when the fee shores up the debt, and we sell for silly money. Russell himself said players wouldn't go for silly money, so what say of any kind does he have?
If pope becomes a regular premier goalkeeper i will be amazed, not good enough on the deck and 1 million is good money for Roland.
And there is the thing that pisses most people off. If it was invested back in to the squad then fair enough. Instead we're linked to a painter and decorator.
Like any new manager Slade he's been promised money and priority of getting the club promoted but as we all know let down by KM & RD. Being an experienced manager he knows decent replacements are needed but not much has happened. I see him resigning before the season starts!

Texeira to stay on.
Teixeira staying would be better than any defensive signing we could hope to make

I'll see if he can tell me more.
