Accrington Stanley Squad

[ddevil2006]

i take it coleman did'nt come in for him

[carpon]

I'd have to say the squad is taking shape nicely, just lacking another keeper,another couple of defenders and maybe three forwards to set us up nicely for the new season.

I like the fact that Cooky is going after young lads keen to prove themselves, but a couple of "older heads" in each department would for me be a great big plus. As F19 says, experience down the spine of the team!!

For that I'd hope Coidy can prove his fitness & get a deal, the Hughes situation is going stale ( and frankly after reading the comments Hughes has made recently, I think he's a non starter). An experienced striker (or two) up top for the younger lads to play off would be a great asset.

Interesting that, as yet, No players from the Emerald Isle??? And has anybody got the latest on Podge???

All in all, I'm beginning to think we might see a promising season and I'm really looking forward to it. Sign a few more players (hopefully experienced players) in those key positions & I might be tempted to hunt out a bookie offering silly odds!!!

Currently in Portugal for pre-season training. Not sure if I read they have a new manager over there so it could be a case of wait and see.

62 games in 5 seasons, better off left alone

some interesting points carpon, the irish season only finishes end of october,and they are in europe,so convincing players to come and ply there trade in league two may be difficult.
They have some good players so how does the loan system work with irish clubs-out of season .
Can we afford to wait until november,interesting,as i like the look of the lad Peers

looks a bit of a short ass unless the chairman is a giant! would like to see a big target man a la mullers, carroll still available at 2 and 6 a week

[AccyMad]

On Telegraph website that we've signed Michael Liddle on a 1 year deal - well done Cooky & Leam

[ukcowboy]

Great signing! Now on fishy site.......is it me or are we actually acting like a football club? Lol....long may it continue.

[Revived Red]

I really like what Michael Liddle has said - and it seems to sum up Stanley so very well. We don't pay the highest wages and we don't have the best facilities - but there is something special about the club that makes many players WANT to play for us. Not all players, of course, but many seem to appreciate what the club is all about.

Welcome on board Michael Liddle And we've bought him as well
