Southend in big name signing?

Sources close to the club were last night refusing to be drawn on speculation linking the Essex Riviera club to a big name striker.

It is known that with only five defenders on the club's books, manager Steve "Tilly" Tilson is desperate to sign another striker to fire the League One club to promotion.

With Southend struggling for points, Dutch striker of Indian descent, Prince Linval Reuben Mathilda Rajcomar, is the latest to be linked. He could be worth an extra whopping 60 points in scrabble (excluding triple or double letter/word bonuses), which when combined with Alan McCormack's disciplinary points would make the Blues firm favourites to run away with the title this season.

It is expected that he'll play for the reserves this afternoon before we are told that he is no better than we already have.
