Mick Harford said of him when he moved to Lincoln......

“He will, without doubt, be your best footballer in terms of possession of the ball.

“Michael’s gone in there and it’s going to take time to change the way the team plays and to bring in the players to play that way.

“Alan is 100 per cent the type of player you need if you want to keep possession of the ball.

“He can play in various positions. We tried him as a holding midfielder for a few games, he can play left-back, left side in a three [centre-backs], the middle of a four. He gives the defence good balance with his left foot.

“He’s a good organiser and very thorough with his preparation. He’s just a top pro.”

Thanks for the briefing GPC - to reiterate Deepo's comment does he have a history of repetitive injuries. The reason I ask is that his wages appear to be based on appearances which may suggest some sort of history?

Southend supporter has reported that Ricky Holmes has again been training with us for the past 2 weeks and is likely to sign. Wait and see if anything becomes of it.

If we are to sign any more players in this climate we want solid centre halves proven at this level .
We look poor at the back and concede from a corner regularly .
We need players that will grind out results in this league so that we can get a draw every so often against teams much better than us .

I think this is more down to 3 at the back and Zonal marking.

It's not the most common system so you need time for the defence to gel and get used to the system. By the time you know if the players will work it might be too late.

In what world would a Southend supporter know who is training with us and also know if they're then going to sign a contract with us?

Maybe he's friends with Ricky or knows someone who is. He does come from Essex and probably still lives there.

more to do with the fact he's getting on a bit and has made very few league starts in the last two years at least....??

4 league appearances last season for Luton, 2 starts and 2 sub appearances : total minutes played 214
1 league appearance for Lincoln, played the full 90

The season before.... started the first three league games then lost his place after a 3-1 defeat to Boro, was benched until April 2019 playing a total of 118 minutes football in 13 appearances as a sub. Returned to the side and started the away game at Accrington on 20th April where he went off after 51 minutes and was not seen again.

Having signed Sheehan we probably are not now looking for another central defender, but if we were I see Ryan Shotton is without a club if we could afford him.

Looks like Lloyd Jones is training with us.

Wasn’t good enough when we were in league two, he might be good enough for the league about though?  Huh?

Maybe we a thinking of a possible sell on to Inter Milan...

Last season we compared him against Goode, Wharton and Turnbull, this season he would be compared with Bolger, Horsfall and Racic, results might be different ?

I think the fact is he couldn’t get into a league 2 defensive unit with the 8th best GA stats. Would be strange if KC now sees him as league 1 standard!

Jones is definitely training with us (as per the social media stalker pics) but still don't see why KC would be back in for him. Thought he unsettled the back 3 when he came in, showed nothing imo & was the only loan not to be recalled for the play offs

Still, beggars & all that...

I think the reason he didn't come back for the play-off games was down to the player being out of contract and trying to sort his future out - but it clearly didn't work  Tongue

I wonder if Chuck will end up being the revelation of the season despite all the other more high profile signings .
You have to say , he is the most promising youngster to emerge since Macwilliams and Toney .

Isn’t the concern that he is yet to sign a pro contract meaning that all this is doing is effectively putting him in the shop window or am I missing something?

Krystian Pearce (Mansfield) who was being touted on here as worth a look as a centre back signing has joined Solihull Moors. Clearly no league clubs thought he was worth signing.
