Brandon Hanlan

Seems like a good signing although would be good if we could sign some more players who have got some league 1 football experience.
 
Bromley fans liked him...

"i would start Hanlan & try to sign him for next season my kind of player pace strength great attitude "

"If we can pull off the signature of Brandon Hanlan that would be amazing. For me he's the best striker we've had since Super Nic McDonnell - the only issue with him thus far is both have been loan spells! If we can pull off a signing off Hanlan it would be a statement of intent and perfect way to spend some of the prize money we've made thus far. "

"If hanlan joins he'll be top scorer in the league "

"Brandon Hanlan has been released today by Charlton so please can we sign him up ASAP "

"Hanlan must start he’ll run them ragged "

"Welcome back here anytime, just like Hanlan was. He’ll be another Harrison Dunk, destined for a higher level "
 
3rd non league player signed this Summer. Are we looking to get promoted to the Championship or is it a budget for a 3rd relegation battle in a row on the cards?

Not much Lovell can do when scally is not backing him.

He was released by Charlton, who are a League 1 team.
 
Exciting that he is a raw talent and probably very hungry to succeed.

Totally unproven at this level. Might be a real success might not.

Indicative of our budget perhaps.
 
How do you know Scally is not backing Lovell? Scally is reputed to have ways backed his managers, these signings could be Lovell's choices.

There is no way that scally is backing Lovell like he should be. The fact that southend who are a similar size club are making more effective moves then us suggests so. The only time where he remotely backed a manager and it was apparent was JED when he brought in JET and Wagstaff. There is not going to be any forward moved unless scally backs the managers more.
 
He’ll give Lovell the funds to sign the players he wants. Why do people have this stupid idea that Scally says “no, sorry. You’ll have to sign from non-league”. Ridiculous. Lovell has signed players from non-league because he wants to.

If Peterborough or similar signed these players, the same people would moan that we didn’t take a punt on local player etc.

How do you know Southend’s signings are effective? I forgot the season has already started and they’re romping the league...
