So Charlie says no...... Why do we all think this has happened ? Price agreed - personal terms agreed - player says no ! What is going on here then

This is very unusual. Is he that desperate to play for Southend?

It's less of a risk for him that way... he knows the area, and his potential new teammates...

The only way we'll know is if he does indeed go to Southend.Malpas coached him at Under 21 level,so there was always a link there.Wolves asked MM not to talk to the player until a fee agreed.Wonder if Southend tapped him up behind our backs?

The strange thing is, I thought Southend weren't prepared to pay the fee Wolves are asking. Apparently they (Wolves) found out about our interest and trebled the fee. I think Southend had agreed 50k last season. So if Southend don't match our bid the guy's marooned at Wolves unless there's another club we don't know about.

Got to say im suprised. Would have bet on Mulgrew signing for us. Especially as he has played for Malpas in the under 21s. Can only think that League 1 football and our history of problems made him say no.

Meh, if we were second choice or leverage for screwing another club out of a better deal then good riddance.
If he's staying in the Midlands area fair enough.
No panic just yet. No point in signing sub standards for the sake of it. That's what the loan market is for.

I don't belive that we should be worrying. Give it another 2 weeks and if noone new has come in then maybe start asking why. Even if that fails, there is still the loan market. We have generally picked up some decent loans in recent years. Ifil, Cox, Timlin to name some current ones. There are always decent ones available...I remember Carrick and Milner plus not to forget Davis RIP.
Does anyone belive that the lack of summer signings is having a knock on affect on the season tickets? I for one can understand why some people would think so, however I don't belive that is the reason sales have slowed.

I doubt signing big names such as mulgrew and richie jones would have had much of an effect

Mulgrew was hardly a big name though was he?

It'll be like that last-minute panic on Football Manager soon - you've release all the cretins you hate but then suddenly realise you don't have enough players for next season! Hit the panic button, sign anyone!!!
