[Dawsey]

Nothing on the official site (not that that is saying much)

He was offered a three-month contract in the summer.

Hornchurch sounds just about the right level for our David!... get him off the wage bill, now...

 

[looney]

Hornchurch have just signed Orients top scorer, Purser.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

he will be in div 2 or 3 if he goes as he is good enough,. just never really given a chance while here

I take it you mean league 1 or 2 and not county league 2 or 3?

 

[Eastleigh Seagull]

I assume that offered means he didnt necessarily sign it?

So he will be free to look for others offering him a longer term deal.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

yes i ment league 1 or 2

he is a centre mid and never played there in a league game

 

[b.w.2.]

He has had 2 seasons to prove himself... he failed... get rid... now...

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

he played once in his postion, its like asking cullip to play in cm

Soccer: Blues reunion would suit Lee
Former Southend United winger David Lee today revealed he would relish a Roots Hall return after being told he was free to leave Brighton and Hove Albion.

The Basildon born 24-year-old made 52 appearances for Blues during the 2000/01 season and admitted he would love to link up with the coastal club once again.

"I'm pals with both Kev Maher and Lawrie Dudfield and I got them to have a word with the manager Steve Tilson for me because I would definitely be interested in coming back," said the former Tottenham Hotspur trainee.

"I had a good time at Southend when I was there before and I still go down to watch them play whenever I can."

However, despite his desire to comeback to the League Two side, Lee - who quit Blues to join Hull City three years ago - does not expect to re-sign for the Shrimpers.

"Tilly seemed half interested apparently, but said there wasn't much he could do because there wasn't anything left in the budget.

"It's obviously a shame but I guess it was just the wrong time. Maybe in the future something could come up again."

Lee has two months to run on his current Brighton contract, but has been informed by the Championship new boys that the deal will not be renewed after it expires in October.
