Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Has Stanley's list been published, or are we just keeping everyone? :D:D:D

I see Kal Naismith's turned down a new contract at Pompey; anyone know where he's going?

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

9 players including chappers and Scott brown offered new deals. Akeel Francis and mekhi mcleod have left.

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Just got to hope they all sign up, not really a surprise about McLeod & Francis - good luck to them

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

To be honest didn't reckon McLeod was gonna make the grade, wish him well though. Francis cant really say one way or the other.:confused:

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Rumour mill has Chapman targetted by Wigan, Bolton and Barnsley

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

First casualty of close season - just been confirmed that Chapman has signed a 2 year contract with that nice Mr Evans' Peterborough team - gutted :(

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Shame, but good luck to him. Not many on here would have said he was a massive loss to us before this season just gone. He improved massively.

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

think Maxteds not a bad keeper so it gives him an opportunity?

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

A pre-season view probably shared by Coley, or he might well have offered him a longer contract then. Oh well ….

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Chappers has gone to POSH.

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Good luck to Aaron he wasn't offered more than 1 year last season we can't get everything right we have Maxted and another keeper is now a priority just hope we get a good one to create good competition.

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Quite a surprise to see Chappers go. As others have said, had a great second half to the season. Just frustrating to see him leave on a freebie.

Big chance for Maxted that's for sure.

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Not sure why you say surprised Smudgie. It’s the risk you run allowing players to drift out of contract. It’s not just the pay it’s the length of contract as well. God luck Chappie.

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Good luck to Chappers, but I see this as a good thing for all concerned.

If we get a keeper who can dominate his area more we will be all the better for it.

Maxted may be that man, but if not we will get another. Keepers are like drummers in bands. Highly dispensable.

Where is Jeff these days? He was a good un.

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Rotherham United - and doing nicely.

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

........... also maybe a chance for our number 3 keeper to be promoted.......... as he has the greatest name ive ever heard (for a keeper) ...... SAVIN :D

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

I would liked to have seen more of Zanzala last season. I hope we can get him back for a while. Which was his parent club?

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Wish him well, but Joe Harts at a loose end.

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Think it was Derby County.

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

An England reject for Stanley? D'yer think he could cut it? :D

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Was thinking more of second man to Maxted Dave.;):D

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Not coming back. Derby County his parent club.

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

You can’t let your heart rule your head.
He’s got a good offer and security of employment for two years. The lad owes us nothing.
Clearly Coley had his doubts because he wouldn’t have hesitated to sign a 2 year deal.
Then he sees Maxted signed ......
What would you do ?

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

But the trouble is, most football fans do think with their heart when it comes to their team - it's called passion.
We all can see the logic behind Aaron's decision & most will wish him well - doesn't mean we're not disappointed that he's gone

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Accymad,
If you read Choirboy's post he intimates because we've instilled confidence and we signed him when no one else wanted to (I dont agree with either statements by the way) that somehow that meant he should stay.
We didnt show faith - or he would have been given a 2 year deal like the nucleus of the squad.

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Twenty eight. I broadly agree, but we DID show faith by offering what Chappie obviously thought was the best deal on the table at the time.

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

I think much faith was shown in chappie,by continuing playing him early season,when his form was way from what it became. also at the time we took him back, please explain who else was after him?:confused: I aint knocking the lad for going, but i can't see yer logic twenty eight. Cos i cant see many players choosing us, if another league club is after em.

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Faith was shown in Chappie as the season went on but don't forget he was dropped for the Morecombe away game.

Lads had a great season beyond his wildest imaginings.Wish he stayed but wish him all the best with the move.

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Really ? I know of 2 clubs interested in Clark when he signed for Accy.

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

This was Chapman's first season as a first choice keeper at any pro club, and he aint young.

There is no way any club would have offered him a good 2 year+ deal a year ago, however he did well after losing his spot for 9 mins on the coast, and made the best of it once Max had his tear.

2 recent keepers in play-off finals, one on verge of premier league. Then you have Etheridge who left for a much better deal and is now semi-pro 2 years later, and Chapman and Mooney looked very similar at one stage had completely different fortunes. Fine margins.

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

I bet they weren't premier league clubs not getting at Clarke but you can't get everything regarding contracts right I liked Chapman great lad but as a goalie he had plenty of faults but he had a great season with us and we move on time will tell if Chapman improves anymore but I wish him well and hopefully we will unearth a gem of a keeper.

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Maybe we already have in Mr.Maxted?

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

"i cant see many players choosing us, if another league club is after em"

Who said anything about Premier for God's sake ?
My comment was in response to this from Cashman.

It's Clark without the E by the way.

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

So whats Clark to do with Chapman? was a completely different scenario.:rolleyes:

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

As an example that your statement is wrong.

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

So explain how its wrong?

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Johnny Maxted looks a great keeper to me....
When John and Jimmy have really boosted his confidence he will be more than good enough to be our No 1 keeper....:alright:
We will have to sign another keeper as well though!:jimbo:

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Clark(e)y won 'Goal of the Season'....... correctly IMHO........
ps I voted for his goal!:jimbo::alright:

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Blimey it ain’t hard ! Read what you put !!! I’ve given you an example of a player who joined Accy DESPITE interest from other league clubs.

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Which two clubs?
Just interested!:cool:

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Blimey i referred to Chappie in my comment stating as to why i thought confidence was shown in him, despite not the best of starts. i also said "Not Many" players would sign if other league clubs were interested, and i still hold that view. sorry choirboy that shoulda been the post before yours, but i buggered that up. lol

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

same for me but i,d rather he went than a few of the others.

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Apparently there's a keeper from Liverpool going cheap.

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Re: Retained list and / or "moving on"
 

Morecambe reject!!
