3 year deal from Southend. Check out Luggy with the late signings!!!

:shock: Really?

yep - just got the text:

Town boss Paul Sturrock has bolstered his strikeforce with the arrival of Billy Paynter from Southend United, who has put pen to paper on a three year deal.

Yay! It's on the OS:

I'm happy with that one.

And the bloke (Bape?) on thisis has got his hat trick!

So to recap, 2 new strikers and a wide player.

Can I just say to all the doubters....................

HA FUCKING HA!!!

Well, I'm well happy with the two permanent signings - will have to see about the kiddie, but I'm sure Luggy knows what he's doing. Good man!

fuck me, things actually feel positive tonight. this is unusual but very pleasant.

oops, i think i just came a little.

nice piece on him on wiki, has gone for a bit of money twice but the last line reads

known by the southend fans as fat boy :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

WOW, this is fucking ace. I'm very very happy.

Everyone who was being super negative has ended up with egg on their faces.

Has Bart issued a response yet?  :D

I must say over the course of the last few days Bart has given me massive pleasure. To be proven wrong numerous times, publicly, is beautiful, not so i can attempt to belittle him, but because him being wrong means the club are doing something good.

he's only 23.remember him playing here for port vale and that seems ages ago.
well pleased with him coming here

bloody hell. we're going up  8)

Good stuff (hopefully). I can't beleive i am saying this but do we have 1 striker too many now ? :)

Corr, Sturrock, Mohammad, Arietta, Cox, Paynter...I guess one is on loan.

The JPM signing is the one that suprises and excites me most. The other 2, well they may be brilliant but they are not players I have seen play.

Certainly happy with the 2 permanents, and we'll see about the loan signing.

Looking forward to seeing them all play!

Pity Fatbury left for Corfu before all this transfer activity, his "sauces" would surely have given us the lowdown 12 hours earlier! :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

 Billy is a real old skool centre forward.....he's a big lump.    I recall his last (I think) visit to the CG with PV on a wet Feb Tuesday night 04/05.....we always seem to play Vale when its wet windy or both.

  We were one up through Trust player Proctor, Billy came off the bench,  muscled his way through our back line and then hopelessly spooned the ball over the bar.....suspect that may sum him up....a real handful, but not a particularly good finisher.

  I'm relieved that Sturrock has got some beef, as it looks like he'll be happy with that, for the time being.

Don't encourage him. He'll probably come on later if we lose being negative saying Sturrock is off  :roll:

With our striking options now (feels strange saying that) im guessing Lukas will be staying at Everton or on loan elsewhere

Not a nice or accurate signature there. Sturrock is 10 times the player Sabin was.

it was my reaction to the charlton game,didnt boo him or anything just personally think he's shit. hopefully he will score a hatrick today and its happy days

you obviously didnt watch the cheltenham game then.

i didnt, as i said it was my reaction to the CHARLTON game, where he was pants. He' gets into good positions he just isnt clinical enough imo.

he played bloody well at Cheltenham though.

You cant blame people for being pessimistic. This is the 1st time weve signed a player for more than 100k for 7 years. I guess Paynter was over 100k? He only signed for them in Jan for 200k.

Its an undisclosed fee so i guess we will never know.

I just remember him being fooking massive!!!! Potential good signing though!

why do we never release what the fee is? its seems quite rare for us to do it for some reason?

is it cause we get our pants pulled down over the price?

paynter certainly is beefy.

more excited by the mcgovern signing though probably.

I was thinking this too! Why the secret? Hmmmmmmmmmm

I know its only a short term loan but I think Cox will be the best of the 3. I have heard great things about him from both Cobblers and Reading fans.

undisclosed fees are common all over the football world - well, in england at least. dunno why

They should be banned and all fees made public. They should also be made to publish what fees the agents get.

or you could just do what sky sports news did when newcastle bought duff and check any stock market updates- was something along the lines of "chelsea recieve £9million"... that's duff's price then.

I was at that game. Remember it being absolutely Baltic, won 1-0 though.

All fees are officially undisclosed. Tradtitionally chairman have inflated fees so that the fans of the selling club are placated and the chairman of the buying club can boost his ego.

In this case I dont mind. Should be good business, its about getting players Luggy wants, not about spending money.

i think it was the colder day of the year and Proctor scored.

How the bloody hell can Paynter be "not available" for tonights match?

Whats going on ?

He's busy, ok?

Ive heard he's washing his hair.

Paperwork 'technicality' according to Luggy.

Let's hope it is just that and that we haven't 'done a typical Swindon'

oh dear, oh dear, Paynter was sat in directors box tonight next to Nicho-they looked incredibly chummy=on the lash buddys imo

also Rob Hulbert was there with his 2 nippers-the old PV connection I'm guessing as he was gassing to Paynter.

No sign of Pook though  :shock: perhaps he's been snapped up on loan by a premiership club after his remarkable start to the season  :o

pook was sat very back row towards the town end...

Was in the stands behind one of the guys on here apparently.

Cant understand why the hold up? Lets hope he was signed by the deadline

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Just a delay in payment i reckon.

Payment shouldn't matter.

In order to be a Swindon Player his registration must have been lodged by midnight on deadline day. Payment can come later. If he's unavailable due to registration, then he's not signing until January...which is worrying.

Hopefully it's something family/suspension/illness etc. rather than a signing technicality.

To be fair though we'd just sign him on loan until Jan if that happens...

or maybe it is a niggling injury as the manager has said.

Exactly Macca. I'm not worried about it. Why risk him in a game like that?

Not worth it and to be fair mohamid and arrieta deserved to play last night.cox obviously started instead as he is pushing for a start saturday

Why new players can't keep themselves to themselves, rather than talk to their new teammates, i don't know.

Christ, Paynter talking to Nicho? I'd have paynter shot for that. Getting to know teammates and general chatting amongst themselves should be banned.  :roll:

Scousers are doin' it for themselves  :D

They do though don't they though.

eeeeeeerrrrmmmmmm?

maybe Sandy forgot to pay the VAT on the deal - could happen

point well made....however, my point was nicho is a lash-ed and i don't want him influencing paynter. on the other hand, Paynter can spend as much time as he likes with the buddhist but not nicho ffs!

Talk about speculating to a new level!  Poor Nicho can't do anything without big brother jumping to conclusions!

Lets not forget that to P*ss in a flower pot, the buddhist must have had a fair few beverages himself!

No, just spiritual organic plant irrigation. Overdid the quaffing of holy water is all.

Does anybody know what the flowers were? And were they in bud?

As i recall, the plant pot was empty of plants, but i'll have to check...

It will be full of magnificent blooms now! A pissing miracle. Maybe you should set up a shrine around the pot and we could run coach trips to smell the flowers and receive a miracle cure (possibly, no refunds permitted).

AND he denys all knowledge of doing it in the first place!!

So look in the second place then!
