CONFIRMED Kacper Lopata leaves for Southend

Can only assume he has gone on a free and we receive the majority of a sell on fee, plus subsequent sell on fees
 
He must have loved his time in Southend. Sounds like he just wants to enjoy playing somewhere he's well loved. I can respect that. Not sure what we're doing from a Blades perspective though. Hopefully we've got a good sell on clause.
 
I like Kacper, I’ve got to know him a bit since he was on Sheff United Way and I know he just wants to be happy, appreciated and to play regular football. He’s ambitious and very talented. I personally believe he’ll play at a far higher level soon and wish him nothing but the best. He’ll get the adulation he deserves from Southend supporters.
 
Southend fans saying his girlfriend lives in Havant. Not sure if he met her when he was at Brighton or Southend. Seems he wanted to move back down South. Trust we have inserted a robust sell on clause if its a free. He is a good prospect and will earn us some money in the future no doubt.
 
Last year of his contract very little we can do if he does not want to sign another.
Some people search high and low for something to moan about

It's not a free. Plus a sell-on
 
Well this is strange, seemingly weve gone from not letting him go out on loan unless he signs a new contract to letting him leave for free.

I guess he was going to go for free at the end of the season anyway and in this case we may get a sell on fee so we could end up with some money

Doubt there's anything other than a nominal fee, considering. Bad business but I guess you win some and lose some. His next club is likely a lower league club so sell on unlikely to bring much in.

Possibly as RND, Clarke, Bash, JLT, Gordon and poss JOC in front of him

All of those are either currently crocked or not suitable for CCB role or should not be removed from their current role because there is no fit replacement.
Poor decision to let him go - i see him as natural successor to Egan.
If Egan gets injured tomorrow , none of those mentioned is a suitable replacement right now.
Lopata is.
Looking at our team as a risk management expert , our biggest vulnerability is now an injury to Egan.
I am all aboard our promotion express and i don't want to see it derailed for ten bob from Sarfend pier.
 
I think Hal got it almost right. Lopata is no different to a load of academy youngsters with potential.
Was he recalled last season as emergency cover, but not used?

I like him as a player, but I don’t think he will go much higher than league 2, (league 1) if he’s lucky. He is driven by his personal perceptions rather than footballing ones.

Wish him all the best, as Hal says, his personality comes over quite well in his vid with SUW.

He is a commanding 6'4" athlete who is a tailor-made CCB.
Give me one other in our squad who can replace Egan , who is not :
1.Currently injured
2.Unsuited to CCB
3.Currently doing well as RCB or LCB who would detract from our attack if moved
The only suggestion I've been given is Bash who is :
A.not a CCB
B.the only cover we have for RCB & RWB.
Stupid penny pinching to sell Lopata at this time.
At least keep him till January

He was an above average defender, who had his head turned by his experience at Roots Hall. I wish the lad all the best, but his choices up to now have been Ill advised and impatient. He is not as good as some have led him to believe, but he’s a nice bloke for all that.

Just to remind you, Lopata is now gone, and Egan is not yet injured or suspended.

We still have Clark, JLT, RND, Basham and Anel to fill 3 positions. I’m glad I am not the manager, and neither are you.
 
Woke early this morning wondering if I drempt this last night!

I doubt any of us will know quite how or why this move happened but I will very happily see him wear the Navy blue shirt for a couple of seasons. If he can be part of lifting us out of the National League swamp soonish, then that would be great for him and us.

As to his potential, based on what I have seen, FL1 or FL2 would be well within his abilities now, beyond that depends on a multitude of things. I'm still at a total loss to understand the move, or where we got the dosh to make it happen, but for now, I'll just enjoy it all.

After your persistence coming on this site and putting up with us lot, the club decided to throw you a bone 😁

Your argument would have more substance if a) when we had a defensive crisis at the end of last season he'd have gotten the nod before Gordon, us spending £££ on Uremevic etc and b) he'd gone to a Championship /League 1 side.

Goes to show not just our coaches but those of every Championship/League 1 & 2 side - didn't fancy him either.

I'll go with their judgement over us who have only seen him play a couple of times.
