Dan Mooney Leaves Southend
« on: December 14, 2023, 10:32:47 AM »

Mutual cancellation of his contract. As one tweet response says - "The squad is just too big and not sustainable. Football is a game of 11v11 why have twelve players - it’s just a waste."

Rumours he's coming here again, would we rather Mooney or Newby?

Newby all day long. Apart from being a better player and a better fit for the way we set up, Mooney probably just jump ship again at the first opportunity.

As I said on another thread though, is there any news on the future of Newby given the impending end of his loan period?

I liked Dan Mooney - probably more than most on this forum - and there's always a time and a place for certain players to return for another spell.

As much as I don't think Dan Mooney is one of those cases, I'll trust the management team.

Not for me. Much too one footed. He only used his right peg to stand up . Newby is a much better option.

He slagged off our crowds, why would we want him back?

Although I agree with Marple, I agree with Ray and Seth too. 🤔🤯

I'm not sure about Dan coming back.

As for Newby, he reminds me of JJ. Sometimes you never know what he is going to do next, and neither does the team.

Would love Newby to stay but I have a feeling that wages may be an issue.

Of course, a player of Dan Mooney's standard should be welcome back at Alty, but there must remain questions about his pretty dubious injury record.

Nor the opposition!

I think Mooneys on going injury problems are an issue too.

Let Newby go back and sign Mooney on a short contract until the end of the season to see what he can do.

                            Linney

Justin                    CCC                     Mooney

That’s some attacking threat with Kosylo and Angus off the bench. PP can play his inverted wingers again with Mooney back too

I thought about that crowd comment. I dunno how I feel about that sort of comment coming from an ex-player at all. In fact, I have nothing against any recent ex-players apart from him and Mullarky. That says something.

It will take some humility to do an interview with Alty TV and back track those comments.

IF he is on his way back.

Perhaps Oldham and/or Rochdale have been showing an interest? They'd probably pay a bit more too.

Good point, Rochdale have just lost Cian Hayes in that position.

Wouldn't be surprised if he ended up at either of those clubs.

I think I'm right in saying that the comment about DM wanting to play in front of bigger crowds was something PP said rather than Mooney himself. In which case, I don't think it should be held against him.
