Permission to speak to us from Southend. He did used to live in this area I believe.

 

[Davidimp]

Former Scunthorpe player?

 

[hulloutpost]

More suggestion that John Akinde will be moving soon?

 

[Bazzzer]

Born in Boston.

One footed?:

Former Scunthorpe player?

Apparently started at Boston before his big move to Leicester where he left under a cloud. Played for Scunny and Southend since then.

 

[Johnny_Boy]

Ex Scunthorpe and ex sex tape maker at Leicester. Looks like he’s managed to put this all behind him. 8 goals in 16 games for Southend.

 

[sedgleyimp]

Born in Boston.

One footed?:

Don't know. Didn't see the tape!!!!!!!!!

 

[Scotimp]

Another Southend player with a ruptured ACL? The last one didn't work out too well.

36 goals in 165 League One appearances.

 

[Davidimp]

Replacement target man for Akinde?
26
Similar contract left to Akinde, swap deal?
Sure we tried to sign him before but we got Akinde and went to Southend I think?

That was his large footed brother......Claude

[bristolimp]

4 strikers is not greedy

I dont think it is connected to Akinde

Bit of a thread developing for anyone that is interested. I'd like to tell you what it says but I couldn't be bothered to sign up to their website.

Everytime i saw that Claude play he was total horseshit!

 

[sedgleyimp]

I think the fact the this offer has been released by Southend might indicate that they want to try and entice other offers to start off a possible bidding war

 

[Impartiality]

Why have Southend made the offer public? Are they hoping for a bidding war.

did not cross paths, hopper there 2011-2015, Appleton was there 2017

Hopefully not as it would appear our bid has already been accepted rather than under consideration. Perhaps somebody will offer the same as us plus a penny; a bit like the Arsenal bid for Suarez that pee'd off Liverpool so much at the time.
