Was told the he is no longer in the same crowd as he was when he was with us.

The way his career has gone, seems that it's the wrong crowd.

Pretty sure he has chronic tendinitis and this is what restricts Moncs - its not his basic fitness levels

I will always believe getting covid pretty badly is what's finished his fitness .

One of my workmates caught covid which turned into long covid . He was off work for months . He told me it affected his lungs and left him feeling drained of energy . It could have affected George in the same way . Obviously having a weight issue didn't help him either .

Only 878 minutes for Bonne in those 18 games.

I haven't seen anything about moncur about signing for anyone

That’s still quite a long time to not score. It’s almost 10 games if you tally it up!

Though to counter that Richie was quite happy to manage Smyth's games in relation to his injury issues so doubt that would be any different for Moncur.

What we did get were soundbites saying George wasn't at the level required suggesting he wasn't putting the work rate in.

He played for Hull!

Absolute piss-take, just waddled around thinking he was prime Gheorghe Hagi.

He wasnt.

Signing for Man United on Monday , great news

Gravesend it is then

Now it is official. Loan to the end of the season.

Still a loan though, hopefully they are paying a percentage of his wage so we can bring it some more cover up front.

Where is the media report of this, please?

As I said he has signed for Ebbsfleet, I’m sure you’re bright enough to find it for yourself. It’s just above this post , there’s a clue for you.

Ebbsfleet play the Spammers tonight..

Straight into the starting xi

Of course they'll be paying a percentage of his wage, they won't be getting him for nowt. Trouble is, that percentage is unlikely to be any more (and could well be less) than what Southend have been paying, so it's difficult to see how this improves our financial position.

Substituted after 61 mins against West Ham U21 on debut

Hope George does well, Ebbsfleet certainly need some quality as they’ve only won twice this season and are rooted bottom of the National League well adrift of safety.

Mental, his downfall in the last 18 months or so, his legs have gone, his fitness is non-existent, can't last 60 minutes let alone 90, the fact he can't make it at Southend! How Ebbsfleet are affording his wages is anyone's guess

At this rate it'll be next stop Billericay followed by Hornchurch FC

The Ebbsfleet fans are gonna be initially very excited, and then likely immediately somewhat deflated, by this signing.

That's how it played out at Southend anyway....

He’s working his way along the A12

Bowers and Pitsea, he’s coming for you.

I agree . if I was George at the end of the season I would call it a day and retire .

Amazing downfall when you think he scored a lovely goal to win the game for us at Oxford less than 9 months ago

Just heard on BBC Essex sport that he has signed for Ebbsfleet until the end of the season.
