At least that's how this Southend fan views it.

There's only a week & a bit left in the loan window and Southend United boss Paul Sturrock insists it's tough out there, but it's not his fault players would rather go to Edinburgh than Essex!
Sturrock: 'We will continue to work hard to bring people in'
So still no loan signings with a depleted squad on it's last legs, those that have legs to stand on, but Blues boss Paul Sturrock is defiant; we've tried, it's not his fault players prefer Edinburgh to Essex, or Bury!
Sturrock told www.echo-news.co.uk: "I'm fully aware that we need to strengthen our squad, but I would like the supporters to know that it isn't for the want of trying that we haven't made any signings yet. We've gone in for several players including the boy Chris Holroyd who has just gone to Bury, Akpo Sodje who chose to join Hibernian, Lewis Grabban who went to Brentford and another lad who chose to go to Brentford from Reading."

For context, Southend are half way up League 2 in England.
Even at basement level down there, they don't have a great opinion of our game, do they? :greengrin
