I've sort of held back from just putting this guy's name in the frame...he's been off the radar for some time now, but I know the history and exactly what he can do and where his weaknesses are.
Consistently quietly banging in goals in League 1 (away from the high profile Beckford and Shelvey) for a team without much other support; very highly rated by the Premier League club where he learned his trade; would be relatively cheap in comparison with the likes of Beckford, Hooper etc in both terms of fee, signing on fee, agents fee and wages and would walk over broken glass to get here.
Step forward one Mr Lee Barnard at Southend United.
Do the deal.
