The First Yoel!

Southend United are keen on bringing in midfielder Abdul Said from Swindon Town. The youngster, originally from Somalia could be subject of a undisclosed bid from Paul Sturrock.(0)(10)



 


25 Oct 2011 23:21:49
Peterborough United are interested in bringing two players to the club on pre contracts, on deals that will start in January. Owen Garvan has apparently agreed a loan deal in January that will allow him to stay at London Road until the end of the season. It is not yet sure if there will be a clause at the end of the deal that could see the former Republic of Ireland under 21 midfielder sign a permanent deal at United. Secondly, Darren Ferguson is interested in signing Glenn Whelan on loan from Stoke. It could be a little bit too ambitious for Ferguson but likes the idea of possibly having the Republic of Ireland international at London Road. If this deal does not work out, it is expected Ferguson will go for either Liam Lawrence from Portsmouth or Keith Fahey from Birmingham, who are again, all Irish.(1)(11)Also I hear Kane Ferdinand is on the Posh radar. This lad is rapidly progressing at Southend.The above post is nonsense. Peterborough will sign players from non-League and League 2, as they always have done.Pre-conracts are on the cards. My sources say watch Motherwell FC fo0r name/names

25 Oct 2011 19:28:12
Richard Stearman - Liverpool - 3.8mil.(9)(29)What, 3.8mil brass washers!Yes wolves fans wud pay 3.8mil 2 tek im awayThis seems strange to me my team Ipswich reported put a £1m bid in the summer which was turned down not because of tbhe value but because Wolves wanted to keep him.The only one who wanted to keep him was thick mick who will be sacked by wolves very soon

 


25 Oct 2011 17:48:14

25 Oct 2011 16:40:23
Tevez is joining spurs in january. Source : ossie ardiles.(20)(25)Haha he is way out of tottenhams league, that wouldent happen ever, when will their supporters accept that tottenham hotspur are just an average team that finish average of 7th place in the barclays premiership and they need alot of money injected to even get on par with arsenal and even more money to compete with even liverpool let alone the man city's, man utd's and the chelsea's just another club where the fans get over excited and get carried away with expectation!Are you being serious? Tottenham are one of the best run clubs in the league and have been competing with teams like Liverpool for a couple of years now, just look at the results of the past couple of seasons.
Arsenal are in quite a mess this season and are stuggling to pick results up home and away and the other three teams mentioned are currently in a class of their own in the premier league.
Now not for one minuite do I think Tevez will sign for Spurs but to say they are not competing with teams like Liverpool and Arsenal is just idiotic.If i am not mistaken, i have read on another site that a club cannot loan two players to the same team.Hopefully he will be left to rot in the A team at Man City, him and his agent are always angling for another payday, Tottenham and any other club that respects its fan base should avoid him like a barge pole.Am I missing something here. The guy hates England. He wants to go home. If Man United and Man City are not to his liking - no chance Spurs.There are five airports in london, maybe thats got something to do with this :P Oh and btw delusion liverpool fan, just wait and see whos in the top four at the end of the season. I can assure you it won't be arsenal or liverpool, as the mighty spurs make their return to the CHampions leagueThe Spurs salsa dancing club maybe!

 


25 Oct 2011 16:30:12
Norwich looking at Jordan Rhodes of Huddersfield according to Ian Culverhouse (asst manager)(17)(4)Now that will REALLY pi off 1p5wich!This rumour may have legs, he certainly looks the type of player PL loves to go for, but I suspect he will cost 2.5-3M if he keeps banging in goals at the current rateThe Metro says that Man Utd have sent Paul Scholes to watch Rhodes.
I can't see him leaving for less than £5M.Not happening!! staying at town till end of year guaranteed! when town get promoted town will let him go but only for 4-5 mil. Also heard united interested! he deserves it bang in form one for the future at highest levelEveryone is looking at Rhodes because he's on such a good run, turning that into a bid will take longer me thinks.

 


25 Oct 2011 16:16:19
Everton manager David Moyes is looking at two young players from morecambe, both 16 and play upfront, James Riley and Liam Wainwright.(12)(4)

25 Oct 2011 13:45:26
Wolves will make a bid for Birmingham City centre back Liam Ridgewell, if the bid is accepted Birmingham will try and bring in Liam Fontaine from Bristol City and Ian Harte from Reading(13)(7)Why would we want harte when he turned us down in our promotion winning season n seriously fontaine make a better rumour n rigdewell's old news

 


25 Oct 2011 13:38:12
Liam Ridgewell on his way back to Villa. Celluar back to Rangers as part of the Naysmith deal...(5)(18)I hope this is true, i'll drive him to sign the contract!Is Cellaur not out of contract in the summer? Think a pre-contract with the Champs if he is coming back is most likely. Also can't see Naisy going to Villa.

 


25 Oct 2011 13:09:34
Carlos Tevez is moving to Juventus in January on a six month loan deal , He will then return to Brazil/Argentina with Corinthians/Boca Juniors in the summer to finish his career. Another unhappy footballer who will leave the EPL in January is Adel Taarabt who will join Italian side Lazio.(14)(6)Finihs his career he's what like 28 isnt he! {Ed002's Note - Interestingly it was the desire of Tevez to retire at 28 after playing for Real Madrid and then joi the church.}

 


25 Oct 2011 13:05:56
No wonder murray wants to leave c palace, good club doing very well. Who would want to live in a dive like south london. Scannell to either norwich or wigan in jan(8)(6)Didnt know he liked carrots and pies that much.He probably likes playing decent football as well, hence why he would leave that dump

 


25 Oct 2011 11:03:48
Poyet has been on the crisp muncher radar since since the consortium took over. SGE was recomended for the post by Mandric, and
the new lot were just looking for an
excuse to get rid. With Gus going to the Walkers, the seagulls will bring in Dave Bassett as damage control for the remainder of the season.(8)(22)It is no longer called the walkers stadium2 wins in 7 and sven gets the sack. poyet 0 wins in 7 s why would we want him again? and dave bassett damage limitation ha ha he'll cause the most damage

 


25 Oct 2011 10:44:57
Wigan Atheltic will offer Huddersfield Town a fee in the region of £3 million for in form striker Jordan Rhodes.

Wigan will be willing to let Connar Sammon go to Huddersfield as part of the deal(11)(7)What's the point of leaving Huddersfield who are championship bound for another team heading the same way??

 


25 Oct 2011 10:11:04
insider at Burnley say's that southampton have re-tabled the 5m Jay Rod bid (trusted)
i'm hoping that Jay again says no but southampton are going well and may favour a move(12)(4)Wonder if it's possible to get him or another striker in on loan until deal could be completed in January if the news that Barney could be out for another couple of months is correct,feel we could do with a bit more cover up front.Does anyone know where we stand on this?He is gonig to everton in janJay isn't leaving us. He was born and raised in Burnley and has lived there all his life he is going nowhere!Loan deal maybe poss,
and yes JAY maybe a BFC boy to man but BFC need investment and said yes to the previous 5m back in the last transfer window, according to my insider, Jay wanted to see what progress BFC under Eddie would make in the first half of the season. SFC have press BFC for a answer ASAP.
My thoughts are that SFC have offered top price for JAY 1.5m than any other club and BFC could get a player cash deal here aswell - sounds like a good deal

 


25 Oct 2011 09:52:39
Norwich, Rangers and St Etienne are locked in a battle for Lokomotiv Moscow striker Dmitri Sychev.(11)(8)

 


25 Oct 2011 07:48:16
For Me Chiefs at Southend need to pull their finger out rather swiftly in offering new deals to all our important players. If not then we run the risk of them leaving for under-value prices or getting nothing at all for them.

Players out of contract at the end of this season are Barker, Grant and Mohsni.

Out of contract at the end of next season will be Ferdinand, Hall and Clohessy.

Super players indeed and too good to just let them wind their contracts down so we get absolutely nothing for them.

They will have their interested takers so To the Board please bear this in mind.

Being top of League 2 won't guarentee their futures with us as in years gone by Fry, Otto, Hunt, Poole etc left us for teams in more difficult moments than us as at the time we flirted with the prem so that didn't convince them to stick around.

And Steve Thompson departed while we were in the second tier for a side a division below.

an interesting but worrying 18 months I feel is coming up at The Hall.(0)(10)May I ask ( especially if fellow Southend fans are disagreeing ) is the problem with this post? It is logical and therefore not designed to put down the die-hard rose tinted followers. You can't expect the key players to hang around forever.Typical mentality of Blues die hards. To sweep things under the carpet pretending things will go away.Yes and they wonder why they lost Clarke and Gower on frees and were forced to sell Barnard to get a little something for him. Key players need to be offered new deals now.Its not worrying the club may have already offered new contracts to these players but not saying until its signed and sealed.

Paitence.Offering deals will prove the Clubs intentions but I don't think they sign them anyway. Hall and Ferdinand are too good in the long run and have signed extentions already so theyve done their loyalty bit. The same can be daid for a few others.What about a bid for Timlin

ANY BRISTOL CITY LOAN RUMOURS,
ANY BRISTOL CITY LOAN RUMOURS, {Ed025's Note - NO MATE! NO MATE!(0)(12)Derek McInnes is still regarded highly by former club WBA,could go back for loan signings,mf ,sam manton. st,marc antoine Fortune,def ,Joe Mattock,just a thought.As a long term WBA supporter, I suspect thos rumour would have some legs. Derek McInnes is indeed well thought of at the Albion by both management and supporters.

I suspect we would be quite pleased to help out Derek in what I suspect might be a torrid next few months at Bristol City. Sam Mantom and Joe Mattock would be good 'picks' and if he would go Marc Antoine Fortune is a decent striker.

I still think that at some point in the future Derek (who has done a sterling job at St Johnstone) will be looked at seriously as a potential WBA Manager...

 


25 Oct 2011 01:16:19
Bristol Rovers want to sign Crawley Town skipper Pablo Mills in January.(8)(9)

 


25 Oct 2011 01:01:58
I heard that sligo rovers manager paul cook is set to leave the irish side after next weeks cup final to take over at St. Johnston(6)(4)From RTE:
Paul Cook will stay with FAI Cup finalists Sligo Rovers after failing to agree terms with St Johnstone.

Cook was given permission to speak to St Johnstone and had talks with their chairman Geoff Thomas yesterday.

Compensation had been agreed between the clubs but the move has broken down.

Bristol city manager Derek mcinnes is about to sign el-hadji diouf from Glasgow rangers on loan till end of season...heard it here first(4)(37)You heard it here first your mental
NTYABOWDiouf aint rangers player and is a free agent !El-hadji diouf is a free agent and not attached in anyway to Rangers Fc or any other club. Watched him last season and dont think it would be a good move for Bristol City or the new manager as more hassle than hes worth
Port BearHa ha ha belter mate he's a free agent so stop telling porkies !!G.Ryd .I thought mcinnis would go back for some st johnstone players or get goodwillie from blackburnEven though he is a free agent yeahFree agent that is th biggest complement he has had in a long while it usually starts with cu...

 


24 Oct 2011 21:26:56
Lawrie Sanchez is being muted as the NEW Bristol rovers manager due to boards frustration with Paul buckle and behind the scene bust ups with players(5)(12)As if things for you were not bad enoughCould be worse, we could be yet to win at home.

 


24 Oct 2011 20:40:16
Leicester to make move for former fox Simon Grayson.(12)(42)Loves Leeds too much and wants to do well for themDoubt it very much think the owners want to go up not down!And just where are Leeds compared to Leicester?Would love him back but leeds thru and thruLolls, wondering when this would pop up. its really quietened down on ere, no leicester kids anymore saying you got a world class managerDont wany yorkie person we want to go up not downWhat a load of rubbish!! With all due respect to Grayson but he is no where near a big enough name for the Thai owners. They need a big name for the marketing side in Thailand. This job will go to either o'neil, Benitez or hughes

 


24 Oct 2011 20:33:38
Bristol City manager Mcinnes has been talking to Coyle about former Bolton Left Back Jlloyd Samuel. Samuel is a free agent and reportedly still training with Bolton. Coyle says he could do a job for City untill the end of the season. (Cant be worse than our current 'defenders'!)(16)(7)

 


24 Oct 2011 18:50:15
sven gone oneil favorite(24)(17)Not a chance with O'Neil, wake up muppetWhy not? we have loads of money

 


24 Oct 2011 18:40:22
Sven Goran Eriksson sacked as manager by Leicester City with the club 2 points outside the play-off places. Very harsh if true as it's still mid October!(27)(8)V harsh just hope o neil is the replacementIs the saying never go back it won't work o'neil had a good bunch of players when he was here last you can't say that about the current squadCant stand Leicester, But the squad there at the moment is good enough to walk this league. The squad he had back then, Heskey, Savage, Izzet, etc we're all average prem player tha O'Neil got the best out of. As of now, I'm not worried about Leicester, If Oneill takes charge i will be.Yeah Sven wasted a shed load of cash now your going to get another manager on ever inflated wages who will do exactly the same, do the owners want to go bust??

 


24 Oct 2011 18:12:31
Liverpool will bid 4m for Richard Stearman in january.(9)(35)Please please please please take him take himI wud drive him up thereGet in the queue, I have a fast car and can get him there quickerWorth the money if played in his proper position - centre back not full back !He could not play good in any posision

 


24 Oct 2011 17:02:04
Preston North End manager Phil Brown is urgently looking for a front man now their first choice strikers are out injured for the next three weeks. It was thought Billy Paynter was his top target although this has fallen through as Hemmings is not willing to pay 30% of his wages for three months. An offer will be made to loan the young Conor McAleny from Everton.(9)(7)Nothing to do with money,Paynter just simply refused to go to a club in league one,problem with this is Leeds are reluctant to allow him on loan to a fellow championship club,bit of a stalemate unless one side backs down.

Mr Roller CoasterWell he will sit in the ressie for rest of the season

 


24 Oct 2011 16:50:05
charlton should send scouts to watch promising young fc elmstead striker kaylem d'costa(7)(6)

 


24 Oct 2011 16:25:03
rayn dickerson on loan to brentford on loan dave kitson(1)(11)What? Is this one of those 'make ur own sentence up out of these words' puzzles?

 


24 Oct 2011 15:08:19
Paul Sturrock is a manager that would command 100% support from his Board at this level of the game.

I believe it is accurate to say he would want assurances from his superiers at Roots Hall.


The main thing being that he can keep all of his important players beyond January and in the immediate term to be able to bring in a loan GK as first choice Glenn Morris has been ruled out for four weeks.(5)(9)

 


24 Oct 2011 13:51:48
Wigan to bid for Samaras of Celtic for £2 Million good reliable source(12)(16)Jeebus! they would bite your hand off mate!! Samaras is a Rangers LEGEND...We'd probably take £2 never mind £2m. He can be such a good player maybe 1 or 2 games a season. The rest of the time he's a lazy fud.

 


24 Oct 2011 13:47:35
Villa in for Rangers Naysmith in January. £5mill and Celluar. Source Mark Guidi, Scottish football writer(12)(10)If carroll does not improve by january he will be loaned out to anyone and dalglish will sign leandro damiao for £20m and will sign either wilfried zaha, (£5m) marco bueno (free) or zakaria bakkali (£4m) to bulk up their strikeforceDoubt that leandro will be going to spurs, they have a working relationship or an affiliation with internacional, they do their business together during the jan window ie sandro, think the deal for leandro is all but done reallyI think he's worth a lot more than that to Rangers

 


24 Oct 2011 13:20:48
Ferguson restructure - as United midfield is horrible its time for some new faces -
Ttargets are:
1. MODRIC - best option, great EPL midfielder...would fit well...money is a problem but if they want a top class MF they need to drop some serious cash! - 40 mill would do for Modric....
2. SNEIJDER - similar story as Modric...probably better offencively but older than modric, and modric is more of a Xavi and Sneijder more of an Kaka profile...and united need a xavi...
3. HAZARD - a good option but more of a winger - similar to young, rooney...not a player united truly need....
4. BARKLEY - everton youngster...bold and not bad by any means...is not the gratest talent but a good prospect, lacks pure class but is talented...
5. WILSHERE - injured...but a great english talent, costs a ton of money, will not be released by Arsenal, maybe in couple of years...
6. KOVACIC - Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia) youngster (new fabregas), only 17 years of age and has CL experience...a monumental talent... better talent than Modric, a new Zidane, has been compared to Messi although he is a mix of Iniesta, kaka, zidane and fabregas....unbeleivable vision, speed and shot, perfect accuracy, just a great great player...Can be bought for 10-15 mill, but in a couple of years 25 mill....(9)(29)Lets dissect YOUR wish list,
Modric, no chance, chelsea were turned away at £40 mill try another £15 on top of that & you still won't get him!
Sneijder, the only one you could get!
Hazard, either chelsea or he will end up in spain
Barkley, not yet (& thats aimed at anyone who is interested in buying him)
Wilshire, dream on, not a hope in hell
Kovacic, nope to this one as well, both spurs and arsenal interested in his services but the boy favours spurs due to modric, corluka, kranjcar and another croatian lad if his own age, his name escapes me but apparently they are close friendsDream on manc. Here come all the prawn sandwich brigade, if it dont work throw money at it.Do u know anything about the game that is the worst thing I ever seen on hear not a man u fan but grow up throw money at it no team in the world has brought as many player in to game as man u look at prem sides full of players that did not cut it at man u and so on and so on like I say befor u slag them off look at how many pro footballers they have made and look at how many they have playing for them now ! And this idea u have of them throwing money at problems grow up look at gunners , city , chelski ! How many players have man u signed recently , I really mean it look at how many players started at man u will really be shocked , even players u think are lagends for the side they play for started at man u like I say not a man u fan but greatful to them for players we have had off them in pastMan United will be fine, expect a huge reaction over the next couple of week. Yes a midfielder would be good, Modric preferrably. However the team is in good shape. Jonny Evans will be a Sunderland Player this time next year however, he is the only player that lets United down consistently.

Ins: Modric $40mil

Outs: Jonny Evans Free to Sunderland for all i care, needs to goMan United will be fine...but they'll be the second club in Manchester. Just a matter of time. That defeat is the first in a long line. I'm not a City fan but they'll be the top Manchester team shortly. Man United's arrogance and expectancy will be their downfall. A classless club with clueless fans. Good riddance.You get modders for 40 million no chance.For the first comment - the young croation lads name is Tamoslav Gomelt. Scored a hattrick on his debut in the nextgen against interYeah you know better than Fergie don't youModric and hazard is the best player , we like to see for manutd by jan transfer windowYou lose one match and the next thing is to dismantle the squad and spend a kings ransom on new players ,how typically arrogant of a manutd prawn muncher.Typical of scumbag supporter's.Their arrogance is beyond belief.When your cum -uppence come's there won't be an national day of mourning.More like a national day of celebration at the demise of a club who stand for everything that went wrong in English football over the last twenty year's. Your the reason England don't do well in world football.It was and still is a case of we come first and sod you England.You lot remind me of Gaddfi and his mob.Think you can do what you like. Well look what happened to them? So when your scumbag's decline, and they will, watch the rat's deserting a sinking ship. Just like Gaddafi's lot.

Ipswich town are in talks about pos deal to sell j carson to millwall in jan. Town are heading down same road that almost bank rupted them a few years ago. And now they must settle a debt of over half million, with there landlords suffolk county councill. Town dont want to part with carson. But he is one of very few players any other team would want. A fee 700.000k will be enough.(3)(10)Take care, budgie on wind upYou would need a min of 55 million for modric and even then I cant see it.What a load of sht, sorry Carson is rated by fans as better then Wickam who went for 8-10 MillionWrong thread on Modric there mate lol.

Evans made 100m profit last trading year!
Despite us losing 5m a year out of the club you seem to forget that we got 8m for Wickham. Please fly away now little budgie

Newcastle United are keen on bringing goalkeeper Jay Nolly from Candian side Vancouver Whitecaps.(1)(9)

 


24 Oct 2011 11:09:42
Arsenal are set to make Andrei Arshavin and Sebastian Squillaci available for transfer. Russian midfielder Arshavin is currently being courted by Terek Grozny, who could take the midfielder on loan until the summer, with the possibility of meeting the asking price of around £8 million. Squillaci, who was only signed by Arsenal a year ago, is already in talks with Belgian champions Racing Genk. Genk are keen to take the French defender for around £2.5 million and Arsene Wenger has accepted the deal, which also includes an extra £1 million based on Champions League appearances.(17)(5)Great deals, especially actually getting a transfer fee for the woeful Squilacci.

 


24 Oct 2011 10:59:01
Stuttgart and Russia striker Pavel Pogrebnyak could hold talks with Everton after the German side accepted a loan deal for the forward. Pogrebnyak has fallen out with Stuttgart after a disagreement in contract talks and David Moyes has alerted the player's agent that he would like to take him on loan in January until the end of the season.(8)(5)

24 Oct 2011 08:51:23
I have heard that Newcastle United have agreed a deal to sign Modibo Maiga for £8m in the January transfer window. Javi Martinez (who can play centre defence or centre midfield) will sign for £4m. Also heard rumour that we'll be back in for Neil Taylor, whether that is in January or the summer transfer window I am not sure. Leaving in January will be Nile Ranger, James Perch, Alan Smith and maybe Danny Guthrie. If Guthrie leaves we will replace him with Lewis McGugan for £5m. {Ed002's Note -(6)(19)I don't know what Javi Martinez you are talking about but it won't be Bilbao's for 4 million. Even if they were to think of selling him which currently they aren't he would cost nearer 24 mill than 4 millJavi Martinez is one off the hottest midfields in spain at the moment. Will onl going to a massive club for the likes off 25-40 millionYou might be thinking of javi Marquez from espanyol

 


24 Oct 2011 08:46:14
Wolves MUST cash-in on Doyle. Yes he holds up ball, works hard but lacks goal threat. Fletcher on the other hand is about goals and has a proper impact on games, with him over the past two games I suspect our points return would have been more.

With the 8mill from doyle's departure to Villa plus any additional kitty from Morgan Wolves must sign a new centre back and a pacey forward. Dann and Mackail-Smith would have been perfect signings.

With our current crop the starting XL should be:

Hennessey GK
Doherty RB
Johnson CB
Craddock CB
Ward LB
Hammill RW
Guediora AM
Foley DM
Ohara AM

The bench then made up of the versatile Elokobi, Milijas, Ebanks-Blake, Jarvis, De Vries/McLeary(2)(14)Johnson is garbage, his defendin is nhing short of comical a times, the new Bramble?Totally disagree Johnson is a quality centre halfWhat matches have you bin watching he's rubbish cash in on him in January there's only one jody craddock twice the player Johnson isI think give Sam Vokes a chance up top, he came on and completely changed the game for wolves on saturday besically scoring the 1st by puttng it on a plate for doyle forcing the goaly to parry it a couple of yards out straight at doyles feet for him to put away and making a very good run for the second to pull the defender away in order to make the space for O'HARA to stick it away, Give him a chance.......................Mid championship side there.I feel craddock is now just 2 old and probably in his last year with wolves. foley is a rb not a dm so need to look in the transfer market there. another good cb is required or maybe give zubar a chance in that postionNever to old n zubar to attacking for ch

Newcastle to finish in top 8 this
season a fact.

Ed who do you think is the man
to replace andy carrol up front
for the toon ed because there
have been rumours
circulating that newcastle are
interested in fernando Llorente.
so ed who do you think should
be the man to replace carrol
i personaly think it should be
fernando Llorente but what do
you think. :] {Ed002's Note - I know nothing of confirmed interest in Llorente but there has been a glance in the direction of both Seydou Doumbia and Luuk De Jong. I wonder if interest in Salomon Kalou might appear at some point?}(4)(9)Top 8 fact?

I'm a Birmignham fan so have no keen interest against newcastle who are actually my 'second team' if you like as my grandparets are both Geordies. This is very presumptuous for this stage of the season.

Start talking about this if you are where you are after a long wet, cold winter. This is far too soon to be predicting a top 8 finish, although i really hope you do!How is this a fact as most of the season has not been playe dout yet? can you use your crustal ball and give me the lottery numbers thenAnother deluded divvyI cant see llorente going newcastle, why would he go from a mid table spanish side to a mid table english side, when better clubs are interested

Colchester boss John Ward has ruled out a move for Crawley striker Matt Tubbs claiming he is "too expensive".(8)(7)I have heard a fee of £350k for Tubbs has formally been agreed for January,Weston Homes Community Stadium will be his new home ground.I met John Ward and asked him about Matt Tubbs and he told me he is too expensive.I have heard JW is interested in Aldershot striker Danny Hylton.

 


23 Oct 2011 23:23:08
Paul Sturrock will consider his own position at Roots Hall should at least 2 of his most important depart just after Xmas?

A wee birdie told me this is first class information.(6)(7)Wee birdie only exists on shrimperzone not here.

So this is fake. {Ed003's Note - It is a fake rumour no doubt}Actually I'm a football fan that has no allegiance to any Club. But I'am based between Southend and Colchester.

 


23 Oct 2011 23:15:29
Manager Paul Sturrock wants assurances from his Board in the coming weeks that none of his key players will be sold in January.

The suspicion is if he doesn't receive the answers he wants he'll seriously consider jobs at St Johnstone and Plymouth Argyle.

With Plymouth the prefered choice providing their takeover is sealed.(8)(2)

 


23 Oct 2011 21:26:05
Im hearing rumours a Leeds and Wigan are looking at Matt Tubbs. A feek is rumoured to be about 750k.

MK dons will lose Karl Robinson to Bolton when Coyle is sacked next week, MK Dons will go for Steve Evans.

Crawley would then look at Steve Tilson, ex Lincoln or Paul Simpson ex Rochdale and Shrewsbury.(8)(9)Leeds wont sign tubbs, as much as he is a good player, we have 5/6 strikers so we wont sign any more.And Evans won't go to MK DonsPlease how many times has this rumour been banged around?...leeds have 4 fit quality strikers, no disrespect to tubbs but he wouldnt get a game at leeds

 


23 Oct 2011 20:22:30
Die-hard fans at Southend need to realise they are a small selling club. always have been.Prove me otherwise? I understand your frustrations as the vultures are about to circle from above but Our Budget here at Crawley is a little better than yours at Roots Hall.(7)(5)Yes your budget is bigger but lets see who is laughing come the end of the season

Tubbs will be sold sooner rather then later

Southend have something you tinpot club dont have.

Passion and a good honest manager. You cant say your proud of Evans can you.

23 Oct 2011 18:05:46
Cannot really see Hall arriving here as he is playing at the moment two divisions below himself. By the time next summer comes along , as you say, there will be clubs in the second tier who'll take him on. Surprised those at the Hall haven't offered this player another deal as come May he'll only have a year left I believe to run on his existing terms. meaning from that point onwards his value will drop. Perhaps the Hierachy there are resigned to his departure and the most they would get for him would be in january. Interesting to learn if they'll cash in then on him or whether the promotion tilt comes first. A real connundrum.

As for Grant I'd like him here and feel we stand a better chance of getting him compared to Hall. also I think The chances of grant playing in the 2nd tier are passing him by now and again those in Essex have a connundrum - Will they flog him in January because he is out of contract at the end of the season meaning he'll go for nothing.

Grant is the sort of midfield warrior we need and I imagine a real Steve Evans type player. and if he did eventually come here I would be delighted.(2)(4)

 


23 Oct 2011 17:47:35
Crawley Town Supporter calling:

Commenting on the Southend fan's piece about our possible interest in two of their players.

First of all I'm only passing on what I've heard in HEAR SAY. So NOTHING official.
APPARENTLY we were interested in Grant in the summer just gone. Whether the interest in him on our part is still active I've NOT heard anymore.

Funny you mention Hall. Heard his name bandied about here several times and RUMOUR has it the player we have who was once with you Josh Simpson has been trying to sell our Club to him.

We may pay good money at this level of the game but from What I hear Hall is Championship material.. Read that Ipswich have been sniffing round him for a while so if he is to leave southend , IF, it will be an almighty challenge for us to secure his services. Surely his aim would be that championship level.

Therefore moving from you to us might be a sideways move the way we're both going at the moment.

My HONEST opinion.(4)(3)Thanks for good thought out post mate.

Im another Southend fan and havent heard any of these rumours.

Hall is a excellent winger, most assits last season in league two. So doubt he would move to another League two team but he owes the club at least 2 seasons after Southend stuck with him when he had a trial case.As I said I don't expect Hall to come to us. I also mentione he is of a higher standard than League 2. and agreed he is an excellent player. However I'm sorry but his name had been mentioned our way recently but the interest in Grant seemed more likely. I suspect Southend die-hards can't stand the thought of the vultures circirling from above AGAIN. Remember you are a small selling Club. Prove me otherwise?Small selling?

League 1 title, league 2 playoff winners.

2 JPT finals, BEATING Manchester united and drawing away at Chelsea.

That history cant be brought but has to be earnt like Southend a proper club.

Not a tinpot team like Crawley. You sum up Crawley I thought you was decent but you come out with that rubbish comment? Tinpot indeedIt is those freakish good results and year's worth of good form that cost you your assets. Collymore, Gower, Clarke, Eastwood ,Thompson, Fry, Simpson etc.
Even Webb walked out 3 times and he's held in high esteem. traitor perhaps. As for Evans treating people unwisely Players like Crown and Nicolau were offered deals by Blues only for them to be stitched up. look at how your fellow fans were treated by the owners during the financial crisis and now they claim to be the saviours. Hall, Mohsni, Ferdy, Grant have signed extentions but its unlikely they'll sign on again as they are too good for Southend in the long run. They'll go the same way as the people I've mentioned above.Yes and thats the lower leagues for you.

The players would be stupid to leave now, in the long run who knows they could stay or all could go.

Financialy its different, Martin isnt charge off the team bussiness anymore thats for Brady.
Same for Crawley, Tubbs and Barnett are far to good for league 2 aswell. Just one of those things you have to deal with.

Thing is Southend are a club with history and that can keep players at the club. Once Creepy lose their funding you become a club with no history and not very attractive to stay.

 


23 Oct 2011 15:53:20
Andy Wright to join Coventry on loan from Bolton for 6 months. Quick striker, could be useful for you.(3)(5)We need all the help we can get up front. Never heard of him, but already prefer him as an option to Roy O'Donovan and Freddie Eastwood.

 


23 Oct 2011 15:50:37
Burnley are set to bid for Alex Smithies. If both Huddersfield and Burnley can agree a deal, the young shot stopper will sign for Burnley in January.(9)(11)Sorry pal, but again ya wrong. u wont b signing any hudds town players. Anyway u cant afford him & he destined for the prem. AGThe rumour is true i saw it on an official Huddersfield pageShow me the link to the official site then,you could'nt afford his right armWhy would Smithies sign for a Championship team when he'll be there with Huddersfield next season?

HAPPY DAYS; from a LEEDS fan
Scum 1 Manchester City 6 hohoho
this is what life should be like, well done City from a Grateful Leeds fan Gj(33)(7)Not just from Leeds fans but from football fans the world over !!!! (P.S. Leeds fan here as well!!)Least were in the premiership mate, and not A sinking ship! haLeeds isnt a sinking ship. When do sinking ships go up. Maybe check our progress before posting things. Leeds will be back in the premiership in the next two years. Youth system can provide premier league players at our budget. Eg. Howson, White, Turner and of course Tom Lees ( Outstanding player for his age )Ha dont be so naive! any good players leeds produce will be taken off them by better teams who are actually in the premiership. and even if leeds do go up, they would probably be straight back down in the first year. as for a sinking ship, you was in champions league semi final a few years ago, now your playing teams such as doncaster, brighton and barnsley. at least we'll bounce back and win the league this year or next!Previous post from the glory hunting southerner make me laugh, will you change your team to Man City when they start winning everything - by the way if you type Manchester into Google maps it will show you where Manchester is, as I suspect you have never been.Is this the leeds united that got stuffed 3-0 playing their 1st team against uniteds 3rd team??Dnt be rediculous mate!! any can have a bad day.. it never means its all bad days.. united will bounce back supremely. and its only 3 points not life...league can be win and lost after 38 matches not now...Id rather be a leeds fan than a city fan, and thats saying something!!

 


23 Oct 2011 14:25:08
I reported some weeks ago that Sturrock, Coughlan, Corr and Barker were the quartet mentioned to go to Plymouth when their takeover is complete. They are seen as central to their rebuilding plans as they start afresh with improved finances. A new budget which will be greater than that of Southend's.(1)(8)Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

There not going anywhere

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 


23 Oct 2011 13:08:10
At next weeks home game, there is a protest to remove Sean Dyche as Watford manager. should never have been appointed in the first place. Tactically poor and terrible transfer dealing(10)(6)

 


23 Oct 2011 13:07:56
Steve Keen will be sacked on Monday, he will be replaces by Mick McCarthy who has had enough of the Wolves fans after Saturdays abuse. Steve Keen will become a leading contender for the Portsmouth job.(22)(20)Why the hell would we want Keen? The man can't even butter tosat correctly! PUP. Solskjaer's on his way to the south coast anyway.In repsonse to all the aobe ... rubbish on all counts

 


23 Oct 2011 12:13:33
Charlie Sherringham was playing non-league, some three divisions below Bmth in the Blue Square Bet South league at Dartford FC. As such he could be signed on a permamnent deal. I think the restriction on signings is only as far down as to the Conference teams.(9)(2)

 


23 Oct 2011 11:34:47
Im hearing very strong rumours from my sources at Southend.

Corr wants to go to Plymouth and wants to go when he is fit.

Ferdinand also wants to go, he has been offerend a stunning contracy by Peterborugh.

Crawley have made a bid for Hall and Grant.

Worrying times indeed.(6)(10)May I ask who your sources are?

LAWRIE SANCHEZ OUT!!!!!!!!(3)(14)

 


23 Oct 2011 11:48:44
Manchester United to submit a £15 million bid for Everton midfielder Ross Barkley. Sir Alex Ferguson likes the way he shouts at the more experienced players, has an eye for goal and is probably the best youndgster in England who hasn't been snapped up yet. SAF to get a better look at Barkley when Everton play United next weekend.

Blackpool need a goalscorer. There answer to that question will be the combination of Huddersfield striker Jordan Rhodes and Newcastle frontman Nile Ranger

Newcastle will offer £15 million to Athletic Bilbao for Spanish frontman Fernando Llorente. He will also offer £15 million for Weder Bremen star Marko Marin.

Stoke will offer £3 million plus Ricardo Fuller for Crystal Palace striker Wilfred Zaha.

Manchester United will complete the £6 million signing of Brighton defender Lewis Dunk in January(11)(12)15m for a player who as yet done nothing of note? hmmm worlds gone mad but already know this with stupid price deals of henderson,downing,young, and carroll nither of the fore mentioned players are worth half there transfer fee's nither wud barkley {Ed025's Note - your wrong about barkley mate...he will be world class, but utd will have to pay more than £15m...but i agree about carroll and henderson..What was stupid about the young deal? he has more than shown he is worth what they payed, less than the other 3 wasn't it?Sir Alex likes him because he shouts a the more experianced players? Lol, year right!

You mean YOU watched the telly and YOU saw him shouting at the more senior players so YOU thought you'd put it on here and see wht response you get? RUMBLED!Newcastle have no hope of signing either of them at that price even if they would be interested in moving to a run of the mill team

Dean Gerken is not available on a free! He signed a new contract in the summer!(3)(7)

 


23 Oct 2011 02:04:41
Doing the rounds amongst fans in the bar is that Brady is trying to wrestle overall control of Southend United FC from Martin.( imho if he succeeds Sturrock will stay. If Martin stays in command Sturrock will be likely to leave in the summer)(1)(5)

 


23 Oct 2011 01:50:52
Answer to question, clubs are allowed to sign players on a free transfer outside the transfer window, they are also allowed to loan players on an agreement to buy the player in the next transfer window this is with legal documentation etc.(6)(4)Up until a free / loan deadline.There is never a free deadline a free agent can sign any day off the year. but you can only change your squad listing twice a year tho. {Ed001's Note - not true, there are two free transfer deadlines in a season, and you can add to your squad listing with a signing any time, so long as you have the space in your squad to do so.}

 


23 Oct 2011 01:10:58
For Heavens sake what is this picking on Southend Utd all about?

I'm a Blues season card Holder and have been for many years and Would like to put people straight as is possible on a few things regarding pure rumour talk.

Yes us fans do hear things from time to time and I'm no different and this is what I've heard and not heard.

Sturrock to St Johnstone - Not Heard.
Sturrock to Plymouth - Have heard
Barker Rumoured to be unhappy - have heard ( Wants clarity that the manager is staying)
Bilel to quit next summer - Have Heard
Hall to Quit next summer - Have Heard
Kane attracting Peterborough - Have heard.

In addition It is doubtful The Club will be bringing in French Striker Yannick Boli after all.

And several players have been lined up apparently to replace those who have been linked to leaving.

In my heart of hearts players like Hall, Bilel, Kane and Grant are capable of playing at Championship level.with this in mind it is to be expected they'll move on soon. Hopefully after we've clinched promotion.

No I'm not a traitor nor a Judas but just being a realist.(3)(4)DOnt refer to yourself as a 'Blues' seasn card holder. We all know the only Blues worth talking about is Birmingham City!

 


23 Oct 2011 00:46:56
Talking of Southend I'm hearing their was more than meets the eye regarding Barker not playing yesterday.

Official line was he was ill but their is talk his agent is talking to another club with a view to the player quitting Roots Hall in January.(2)(4)I think most of the talk on here about Southend is farcical. The only thing I've stumbled across is that Barker would only leave to follow Sturrock to Plymouth Argyle. Cannot see this happening even when Argyle are taken over.

 


23 Oct 2011 00:39:31
Peterborough Utd news.

After monitoring him since the start of the season Posh will bid for Kane Ferdinand in january.

The club know it will take an audacious effort to prize him away then and if they fail they will move for him again next summer.(2)(3)

 


23 Oct 2011 00:37:06
My sources at Ipswich Town inform me that the Club will move for Southend's Ryan Hall in January.

Paul Jewell has been tracking the player since the back end of last season and after proving himself this campaign sees the attacking midfielder as the extra bit of firepower ne needs to guide Town into the Premiership.(5)(4)

Adam Federici to Fulham at Seasons end to replace Schwarzer who will finish up his career in the Bundesliga.

Why do we need another keeper however when wolves go down we'll take O'hara and Johnson off them.(3)(5)You can have johnson in January every wolves fan will drive him there n wishful thinking if you think were goin down not a chance so jog onOh yes you are,and is n,t this the same Johnson who was the best thing since fresh air,when you signed him? short memory syndrome or just fickle?AS a birmingham fan, i knew Johnson would be crap, only had a good game when Dann and Carr were either side of him. Average Campionship Centre half at best, although in the right partnershp he is good because he is gormless and he will do what the sensibleones wont, he will stick his head anywhere. I thought it was going up McCarthys head at the press conference when he signed for ya!They have an awesome keeper in waiting stockdale at loan at Ipswich who is already in the england squad so this rumour seems unliekly unless he will be back upNaa we won't we already put you away 2-0 so id think what you say 1stn wolves fans didnt want him we wanted dann but thick Mick again don't listen to us

West Brom boss Roy Hodgson, is keen on adding Uruguayan defender Damian Macaluso to his ranks in January from Argentinian second division side Gimnasia LP.

His contract in Argentina runs out at the end of December.(6)(8)

Southend United:

The Blues are interested in aquiring the services of French centre-half Maxime Blanchard. Blanchard impressed in a reserve team match for Blues last month.

He could be brought in to cover the likely loss of Bilel Mohsni who is out of contract next summer. A move for Mohsni is on the cards in January and scouts from Celtic are rumoured to have been tracking him.(5)(6)

Hope he stays there and shows what he can doI am a Saints fan has Maynard signed i a new contract at Bristol, if he has not then unless saints got promoted i cant see us signing him, i am sure being a free agent at the end of the season there will be lots of interest from prem clubs. However i cheeky bid in January might tempt Bristol, i am sure they would rarther get something then nothing. The player will interested especially if Saints are still top or there abouts.Saints fans gotta love them 6 months on still baning on about Maynard

its from a non league club(3)(3)Due to the club he signed from being below the transfer market level so any player can sign/be signed at any time

yeovil did this a few years ago with nathan smith from potters bar

Me !Spot on ED even though it's a shame that the managers are so perfectic moaning about it but they drag em half way across the world to play stupid freindlies it should be a honour to represent team gb being our 1st ever team playing at the Olympics {Ed002's Note - Certainly not the first ever British Olympic side, but the first for a while.}Man utd played like a gb team today. steCraig Gordon or Alan McGregor would be 10 times better in goal than hennessy

To the poster who said in his reply to an article that Sturrock was to have showdown talks with Martin and Brady/

Is this true or yet more fiction?(3)(5)

Paul Sturrock hints he would find it difficult to turn down the chance to return to St Johnstone if the offer is forthcoming.

Also claims to still keep in regular contact with the Chairman of St Johnstone.

Source: Perthshire Advertiser Newspaper.(4)(4)It says he is still in contact.

Nothing about he would find it difficult to stay if he had the offer.

Find me the quoute please.I wrote quickly. I did say it was a hint and not official.Well im finding it hard to see why you say it would be hard to turn down?

Where in the text does it hint?

POUR. PUP PPUAs an Ipswich fan I would not wish him upon you. We are still trying to sort the mess out he left. Altough I understand under Cotterill lumping it forward and hoping for the best was the ususal tactic? in that case he will do well for you.POUR? Pour what exactly, the tea?

Not a rumour but a question: can anyone tell me why Bournemouth are allowed to sign Charlie Sheringham on a permananet deal and for a fee from another club outside the transfer window? I thought FL clubs could only loan players...?(5)(2)Sheringham was signed from Dartford, which is in the Blue Square Bet South League, as Dartford is a non league side, the restrictions for signing players do not applyIt will be a loan deal woth a view to buying him

 


21 Oct 2011 12:21:30

David James to become player manager at Pompey. He will keep Guy Whittingham and Stuart Gray on as his backroom staff. James has recently refused to extend his Bristol City contract and after a bad start to the season he wants away from the club, he loves Fratton Park and thinks it is ideal to start his managerial career.(13)(16)Have this we dont want him at the gate, calamity jamesHas been a great goalkeeper, but it is possibly fair to say that his best playing days are behind him-Has bags of experience and would be an ideal appointment for all parties-Please take him, and could we have Henderson back please.The part about his contract is BS. He has not been offered an extention , he signed a 1 year contract in the summer and is expected to retire next summer. Good luck to him if the rest is true though.Totally agree - take him back in exchange for Henderson.You've got 2 hopes of getting Henderson back. You had him, you let him go...tough! As for James, he'd make a good coach right now but i'm not sure about a manager. PUP.I would luv someone to come in for him
but i dont think we are that lucky.

Afc bournemouth have signed charlie sheringham from dartford for a fee in the region of 25,000 and will wear the number 10 shirt vacated by Steve lovell.(7)(3)Absolute rubbish signing. He is pants. Far better young strikers out there.

 


20 Oct 2011 22:23:28
Burnley are on the trail of Tottenham youngster Danny Rose on a loan deal until the end of the season. Leon Cort will join Coventry at the end of the season on a free.(11)(3)Sorry mate, rose has just said in the media today he's only going on loan to a premiership club. I think blackburn are interested, but don't hold me to thatCoventry have a threadbare squad but are best covered at centre back, with Keogh, Cranie, Wood, McPake and Cameron. Leon Cort would not be a starter, we are skint and so this is a non starter.

Basle and Switzerland midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri has been subject of bids from five different clubs around the Europe. Aston Villa is keen on making a £20 million bid for the much wanted youngster and could see a deal accepted after the winger told the Swiss club he would like a move to a bigger league. Turkish side Fenerbahce are keen to add Shaqiri to the ranks but the price tag of between £20 million to around £30 million may be a stumbling block. Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb could make a surprise swoop for the Swiss international but again the price tag may put the champions off. Sunderland boss Steve Bruce has told chairman Ellis Short that he would like to add the winger to his January targets but with the amount of money he's spent in previous seasons, the Black Cats could miss out. Finally, Chelsea boss Andre Villas Boas is rumoured to have had a £22 million bid already accepted.(2)(6)I'm a massive villa fan & i love Shaqiri .. but Villa spending £20m on a player unproven in England & with a huge wagebill? don't think so :/The days of villa spending this sort of money are well gone i.m afraid but i.d love it to happen he.s top class.He won't go to Villa, some of the top teams in Europe are after him.

Expect him to be plying his trade at another champions League club by the end of the seasonU forgot the gunners they where said to be front runners for him ,2 or 3 german sides also been linked but then there was talk of him stopping bit longer so can get his dream move to a euro elite side so who that is we don't noYou're all wrong, AVB has already penned a deal for January for 19.5 million pounds plus add-ons to come to Stamford Bridge if Basel are out of the CL, if not, it will happen next Summer. He will join Kevin De Bruyne, Hazard, Subotic and Gotze as the new legends along with Luiz, Sturridge, Lukaku, Romeu and MceachranYou are dreaming! lol

Liverpool target Andy Polo, is in talks with Dutch side Ajax. Polo currently plys his trade in South America but is keen on a move to Europe and the 17 year old looks set to speak to the Dutch champions in the coming weeks for a move in January.(2)(6)I bet he will cost a mint! {Ed003's Note - I didnt think it would take long,lol. }

 


20 Oct 2011 18:09:45
Tottenham Hotspur will sign Carlos Tevez in january for around 25mil. His wages will be supplemented by a large signing fee.(8)(27)Like london is a lot closer to argentina than manchester.Stupid rumour, why would Tottenham and Harry take on a sulky player like Tevez, no chance, I suspect he will either make his peace with Man City(doubt it) or he will be sold for way less money than MC are claiming they want, because no club will be stupid enough to take a 35M gamble on him.

The Daily Star carries a story today (20 Oct) about a growing list of suitors following Brighton's Lewis Dunk progress. Latest clubs to join Arsenal, Aston Villa and Fulham in having Scouts watching Dunk include Manchester City and Tottenham both of whom covered Brighton's match at Millwall on Tuesday apparently. Values of £5 million plus add ons being bandied about.(3)(3)He will then be replaced by James Wilson from Bristol City

Matt Tubbs has agreed to sign for Portsmouth in January, he wants to stay close to home, done deal.(13)(12)Can't see it myself, but i hope so. Need a decent goalscorer. PUP.Considering he lives in Crawley nowHis Family Home in salisbury his parents still live thereGot 2 years left on his contract at Crawley and unless Portsmouth are willing to pay a million + he isn't going anywhereBesides why would he go to Portsmouth, both teams will be playing in league 1 next season, hardly a step up in his career is it.

nile ranger could be joining hartlepool united on a season long loan as his 1st team Opportunities at newcastle are way down in the pecking order.(3)(15)Lets hope so, get the person out of the club.He could become a Loan Ranger.

 


20 Oct 2011 12:16:25
Martin Allen has been approached regarding the Portsmouth job due to his experience in the lower leagues and his ability to coach.There is a clause in his contract that allows him to speak to clubs above League 1. Ray Trew has got on a train this morning to speak to a prospective new Manager.
Dave Jones is still in conflict with Cardiff over compensation and any new job would lessen the amount due.(8)(14)Saw Martin's partner @ Meadow Lane today and she denied any approach from Pompey - Martin is enjoying life here and doesn't want uprooting - especially to an unstable club.He would only go to manage W.Ham!! He loves Notts County so much.

So what if Sturrock has a contract. What are contracts worth these days. He walked out on us at Swindon after getting us into a good position.

And if I remember correctly Southend had Barry Fry walk out them, Dave Web walked out three times and Steve Thompson walked out suddenly.

So this shouldn't come as a surprise to Shrimpers fans if it happens again.

And yes I posted a similar reply to one of the Sturrock postings.(7)(6)Yes he could walk out as could any manager at any time but with 2 years left and 2nd in the table I just dont make alot of sense for him to go.

Plymouth would make no sense at all, that job will be ignored by many even with a takeover.

St Johnstone I doubt want a League 2 manager, they can do better.Sturrock to have show down talks with Martin and Brady on Friday. He wants to go.Sturrock has had a few battles with the board at Southend and he is liklely to leave as he wants a board that supports him 100%. Southend have financial difficulties and dont be surprised if he moves on.The club does not anymore financial difficulties then most league 2 clubs nowadays.

The funding and backing has been changed with a massive reduced wage bill.

Plymouth are in twice the mess Southend/ other league two teams, are in.Yeah - i've walked out on Southend many times myself mate.

In my opinion Southend need to brace themselves as word here is that St Johnstone are keen to have former boss Paul Sturrock on their shortlist of candidates to be their next manager. Surely a tilt at the SPL is more tempting than trying to guide a financial ridden club from League 2 to 1 in the FL. Luggy would find the resources better here now compared to when he was last here. he's not a well man but the pressure on him wouldn't be too great as he wouldn't be expected to win the title. My vote is for Luggy.

What is Luggy + why has he got this nick name ?(7)(5)Ears are commonly known as 'lugs' in Scotland. Sturrock has big ears, hence the nickname.

20 Oct 2011 01:31:19
Southed United will let Luke Prosser go out on loan to hereford.

Not hearing anything about Sturrock going, so anything on here about him going is rubbish.(4)(5)

 


20 Oct 2011 01:05:31
The local press here is reporting the early 3 possible contenders for the vacancy at St Johnstone are Strachan, Sturrock and Weir.(4)(7)

 


20 Oct 2011 00:58:52
The Shrimpers need to brace themselves indeed. And I have nothing against them whatsoever. It is believed Plymouth and St Johnstone are keen to regain his services and now at least one of those clubs if not both will have to step up their interest fairly lively in order for one not to lose out. If you include him staying at Southend then its a 2 out of 3 chance he'll leave them. my hunch is eventually he will go but either which one of those three ways his future will be interesting reading in the coming days or weeks.(7)(5)So many comments on Sturrock, I swear your the same person typing away.

Your not gaining anything mate, he has a contrat for 2 more years, he is 2nd in the table. He wont be going.You need to remember Fry walked out when on the verge of taking Blues in to premiership.

Webb walked out 3 times.
Thompson walked out when on the vwrge of signing contract.What do what past managers have to do with now?

I doubt he would want to move back up north now.
