Southend United manager Steve Tilson has ruled out a Roots Hall return for midfielder David Lee.
The Stanford-le-Hope-based 24-year-old is searching for a new club following Brighton's decision not to renew his short-term contract.
But Tilson today confirmed he would not be making a move for the former Tottenham Hotspur trainee.
"I've got loads of players in that area so I can't bring anyone else in," said the Blues boss.
"I've got Kev Maher, Mark Bentley, Lewis Hunt, Jim Corbett, Che Wilson - plus Jay Smith to come back in too, so it's not really an option right now.
"I'm not looking at bringing any other midfielders in unless someone like Patrick Vieira was available."
