Matt Macey has signed for Hibs after being paid off by Arsenal!

Re: Former Players!
 

it always surprises me how players get paid off or released down here get contracts at scottish premier league sides. heaven knows what the standard up there is in their division 2. zanzala could even be cowderbeaths new marquee signing.

Re: Former Players!
 

Think he's off to Carlisle :eek:

Re: Former Players!
 

Signed till end of season.

Re: Former Players!
 

If ever there was proof that some Managers talk absolute crap.

"He did ever so well in League One last year," said boss Chris Beech.

"Before that, when he was breaking through at Derby, he was a player with the physical attributes, pace and power - added to the knack of getting a goal - that made him stand out."

Re: Former Players!
 

If I remember correctly we actually paid money for Zanzala can't get every signing right even the mighty Fergie got some spectacularly wrong.

Re: Former Players!
 

Would have been a nominal fee for an under 24 player out of contract if he was offered a deal at similar or better terms.

Re: Former Players!
 

Still more than nothing one of the worst forward,s I,ve seen at Stanley and I have seen a hell of a lot.

Re: Former Players!
 

Just had a look, no not April 1st

Re: Former Players!
 

Joe Bursik now Stoke's no 1:

Re: Former Players!
 

he will certainly give the cumbrians some comedy interludes to break the monotony of streamed games especially on their perma wet home pitch.

Re: Former Players!
 

Only until the two injured lads return, Davies and Gunn mate.

Re: Former Players!
 

Bradford have released Ben ! Free to a good home ,may be worth signing Ben until end of season as cover ��

Re: Former Players!
 

Sorry no not good enough any incoming need to improve the squad.

Re: Former Players!
 

Wouldn't take Ben back, we have Zehn coming through who has impressed and I would even say should be ahead of Sama in the pecking order, also Ogle's loan ended this month and he can cover at left back.

Re: Former Players!
 

it would if he could actually play in more than one position. anywhere but a left sided central defender in a back four he was poor.

Re: Former Players!
 

Jordan's contract extended at Luton:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55626916

Re: Former Players!
 

wish him well shame its Luton.

Re: Former Players!
 

Still think Doniecian might be a possibility can play right/left full/wing back or anywhere across the back 3 backs of pace going forward, Mohammed good prospect but can he play anywhere across the back Ogle can see him going out again not sure if is future is at Stanley and McGuire seems to have dropped right down the pecking order.

Re: Former Players!
 

I'm a big fan of Janoi, great player and a nice guy (and is one of the funniest people I've ever met!) - fits in well with the lads and knows the club.
Is it worth having him long-term though. 6month loan when contract ends in summer and he could/should go elsewhere, is it worth it? Last time he could only join us on loan as had already played for us and the **** of Suffolk.

Re: Former Players!
 

Trying to view things positively but why is there this obsession at the club with ex players ?
Surely the aim is to replace with better than you've lost ?

Re: Former Players!
 

Never obsessed with anyone just Doniecian is the only concrete rumour I have personally heard inbound and outbound Savin is the other rumour quite who John has in mind could surprise everyone but they must be with clubs and not free agents as in his interview the couple he wants he was in negotiations with relevant clubs.

Re: Former Players!
 

You do remember that Janoi left to go to a Championship team, making us 750k (rumour) but for whatever reason it hasn’t worked out for him at Ipswich. Many of their fans seem to think Paul Lambert didn’t want Janoi from the start!

I’m not saying I would or wouldn’t like Janoi back BUT surely if Janoi does sign, why not loan players like Joe Maguire out and try and save a few quid on wages that way?

Re: Former Players!
 

What's his transfer fee got to do with it Baldy ?
It was a fantastic deal for us but he didn't look half the player the last time he came back.
There are surely other players out there available on loans that are jut as good if not better than Donacien.

Re: Former Players!
 

He came back into a side that personally I thought really struggled at times last season as said it's a rumour but this side is confident and playing well would perform better with this lot, of course there are hundreds of players out there but they have to be available, affordable, fit the Stanley mould and they have to want to come.

Re: Former Players!
 

Sean Clare signed for Burton Albion on loan from Oxford!

Re: Former Players!
 

Maybe the thread title is one reason? ;)

Re: Former Players!
 

And theres your answer.
How many pages ?
They’ve gone move on.

Re: Former Players!
 

there might be, but we cannot discuss players we know nothing about. its something fans of all clubs do when there is a possibility of a decent ex player coming back. the big thing in your favour is that when players do come back they are rarely as good as they were when they left. it took sean a while for a start and he,s been more succesful than most.

Re: Former Players!
 

Ben Richards-Everton signed for Barnet!

Re: Former Players!
 

Now come on Twenty Eight......you don't have to:

a. Read the thread, and
b. Comment on the thread......"Chill Man!"

Re: Former Players!
 

Personally I like to follow the careers of Reds, good or bad. I love to see the fall from grace of players who thought they could do better than us (most) znd I love to see which village teams players end up at that fans thought we shouldve kept

Mekhi McLeod at Haringey Borough is a good example as I liked him and thought Coley didnt give him fair crack

Re: Former Players!
 

Kurtis Guthrie signed for Port Vale from Bradford

Appears that squad size means PV have had to de-register another player to make room

Re: Former Players!
 

Kal Naismith joins Luton Town

Re: Former Players!
 

All three of Stanley’s ‘players’ came on as subs for Luton in their win at Bournemouth on Saturday!

Re: Former Players!
 

Tom Davies has joined Barrow on loan from Bristol Rovers until the end of the season!

Re: Former Players!
 

Sorry Twenty Eight.

Presume you’re upset because nobody has mentioned that Jordan Clark has signed a new deal at Luton!

Re: Former Players!
 

Hahaha !
Not at all.
If people bothered to read what I put its simple ! I can't get my head around every time an ex player becomes available suddenly he's our number one target !

Re: Former Players!
 

Post 1617? ;)

Re: Former Players!
 

do not think these players are, its just fans that mention the fact. bit pointless saying someone at colchester is available when know one has any idea of who that player is. try this one, louis britton striker at bristol rovers available on loan.

Re: Former Players!
 

Jamie Devitt has signed for Barrow after being released from Blackpool!

Re: Former Players!
 

were stanley in for him also.

Re: Former Players!
 

Very much doubt it.

Re: Former Players!
 

i know, it was meant to be a little dig.

Re: Former Players!
 

I'd hope not . . . . . . .

Re: Former Players!
 

Jason Gilchrist joined York City on loan from South Shields!

Re: Former Players!
 

How do you know they weren't ? Little dig back !

Re: Former Players!
 

Didn't rate.him when Hull loaned him to us 10 years back so good luck Barrow.

Re: Former Players!
 

Janoi Donacien has signed for Fleetwood on loan until the end of the season!

You can breath a sigh of relief now Twenty Eight!

Re: Former Players!
 

I find this a bit strange considering both Plymouth and allegedly Stanley were putting in cash bids, and I know Plymouth's did not reach the expectations of the Tractor boys , I would have thought they would have been pleased to offload him, although I am certain Fleetwood would not have asked for assistance in paying his wages.

Re: Former Players!
 

Don't know about Stanley offering money but Plymouth offered £50,000 turned down, Ipswich paid us £750,000 and with the new rules on salary cap and limited players over 21 in your squad Ipswich have a one year contract extension to take if they wish so best of both worlds for them is a loan.

Re: Former Players!
 

The pre-match build-up to Chorley v Wolves in t'Cup has just shown Charlie Cooper's couple of goals at Burnden last time around.

Re: Former Players!
 

thought one goal was Maradona lol

Re: Former Players!
 

Hilarious Baldy.
Cut to the chase - if it has to be an ex I'd sooner have Thornily.

Re: Former Players!
 

Clark and Naismith up against Chelsea, and Jordan’s just scored. :)

Re: Former Players!
 

Re: Former Players!
 

been watching it with 2 of our owd lads playing :)

Re: Former Players!
 

In Twenty Eight's words "They've gone, move on" :D

Re: Former Players!
 

Surprised you're interested with anything to do with Luton.

Re: Former Players!
 

I certainly ain,t ****hole.

Re: Former Players!
 

I replied to Di not you.

Re: Former Players!
 

Why surprised.......Stanley have former players at Luton.......its the general title of the discussion thread? And Jordan in particular and other players at Luton were former favourite Stanley players of many on this forum.

Re: Former Players!
 

It's a forum

Re: Former Players!
 

Decent write up about Dean Calcutt...

Dean Calcutt's Non League Journey - Non League Yorkshire

Re: Former Players!
 

Thanks for the link Baldy! This is a great account of Dean’s career. I think I saw virtually all of his games for Stanley. He was a super player, when we had three amazing wingers from which we could select any two from three, covering injuries too. Dean Calcutt, Rory ‘the diver’ Prendergast and Russell Payne. All three of these lads were capable of ‘skinning’ the best of full backs but also of scoring super goals and providing a continuous supply of chances for Paul Mullin and Lutel James. What a great period that was!:theband:
ON STANLEY ON:mosher::thepint:

Re: Former Players!
 

Thanks Baldy. That's absolutely fascinating.

Re: Former Players!
 

Little write up on Matty Crooks...

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...st-friend.html

Come a long way from that miss at Yeovil in the FA Cup for us!

Re: Former Players!
 

for me matty was the best midfielder we have had since returning. can only wish him well.

Re: Former Players!
 

100% agree,Championship player of the month for January,and one of the nicest lads you’ll ever meet 👍

Re: Former Players!
 

For once we are in agreement !!...

Are you both ( and Dean !) fit and well ?.

Re: Former Players!
 

Excellent player and nice polite lad to boot could always tell while at Accy he would play at a higher level.

Re: Former Players!
 

Keeping the wheels of industry turning!!!,everyone’s well,
Deans playing/coaching at Southport,Accis profited from that:)
He’s also working for me as a construction estimator,but needs to kerb his temper!!!
Was down the ground during lockdown,put a roof on the gym for them FOC !!
Dean helped install it,but got no help from Sean Mac or the lads lol
Missing live football like everyone else,hopefully we’ll meet up soon,probably next year.

Re: Former Players!
 

Good to hear you and Dino are well.;)

Re: Former Players!

Re: Former Players!
 

Andy Mangan has joined Joey Barton’s Bristol Rovers as First Team coach.

Re: Former Players!
 

Not a surprise, they were in cahoots (sorry, they worked together) at Fleetwood, birds of a feather & all that

Re: Former Players!
 

Interesting defensive formation for The Hatters tonight. And they won!

Re: Former Players!
 

And a big argument over who was MOM - Naismith or Clicker !

Re: Former Players!
 

you know it was pearson.

Re: Former Players!
 

Couldn't care less Luton not a club I personally give a toss for.

Re: Former Players!
 

It may be a good idea to stay off a thread about former players, then. Most of them will be at other clubs.

Re: Former Players!
 

You know it was Naismith.

Re: Former Players!
 

zanzala scored two goals on saturday for carlisle.

Re: Former Players!

Just heard that Steve Jagielka has passed away, aged only 43 years old - RIP Steve, thoughts are with his family, so so sad :(

Re: Former Players!
 

This is so sad. RIP Steve. Prayers go out to your family and friends.

Re: Former Players!
 

Very sad no age at all RIP.

Re: Former Players!
 

This is such sad news. Steve played a great part in our promotion story from Non League football back into the Football League. Condolences to his family and his close friends.

Re: Former Players!
 

A truly heartfelt tribute to Steve Jagielka by John Coleman in his Sunderland post match interview.....

Re: Former Players!
 

Lee Molyneux retired!

Wants to concentrate on his PT business!

Re: Former Players!
 

One of those players I will not forget whom has had a big part in are journey. His goals and performance in the later part of 2012/3 season kept us up. The goals against Rochdale and Bristol Rovers particularly stick out. Along with him scoring against Morecambe when we beat them 5-1 the following year.
