At the moment the most likely replacement for Bramble seems to be Rochdale's Grant Holt
However a the Shrimpers will not rush into purchasing a fourth striker even if it is Rochdale's Grant Holt who is already tied down to a contract. ‘There is no rush though and we will take our time to make sure whoever we get is the kind of player we need,' the thirty eight year old told the Southend Evening Echo.

As the hunt for the fourth striker continues it does however appear that Grant Holt is the most likely candidate due to his good goalscoring record for Rochdale.
