New Signing

AccyMad · 17-06-2021, 13:26

John O'Sullivan has re-signed on a 3 year contract - bit of a surprise but welcome back Johnno

I was going to post, when I heard he had left his last club, but thought better of it.........

I am putting myself up to be shot down - for a change - but, do not see this as a good signing!

Not good enough last time he was with us, so fail to how he will be now, hope I am very, very wrong - let us see in 2024!

Didn't see that coming. Typical Coley signing. Happy to give the lad another chance but wouldn't have been top of my list.

Have to agree with the previous 3 posts but he,s older now and maybe matured a bit never been a doubt there is a good footballer inside him but I used to think he thought he was better than he was, but welcome aboard let's hope you prove any doubters wrong.

personally i reckon he will be a decent signing for us, we shall have to see.

Totally underwhelmed.
I thought we’d gone beyond this.

No Ian Dumbavin signing tomorrow as number 1 keeper Toby will have his work cut out to shift him.

Would not joke, I doubt very much that O'Sullivan will the last......

We have to trust our management as we know they like to o sign familiar players. John O’Sullivan signing on at this stage in his career is almost a copy of when Sean Mac came back to us. If John O’S does as well as Sean S has done we will be very happy. Also IMHO, a players form for other people event clubs is now t the only factor when signing by them up. Our club still have a tight salary budget that shouldn’t be confused with the spending recently on club ground infrastructure etc. I believe John O’S will be great signing because there is still untapped potential in him that our management will get out of him!

like all signings its a wait and see. if we had signed a player of a similar age and experiance who had not played for stanley before from another div.2 promoted club i think the reaction would have been different. as choirboy said he could turn out as a new sean.

Or a Gary Roberts. Everyone saying budget tight ..... but give him a three year deal.

As a club we have been crying out for longer deals on players so has not to be ripped off every summer when someone has had a blinder, we will still be paying some of the lower wages in this league but it's a rise to most we sign on. Think unless you have a mega rich owner some attendance based financially dependant clubs after the last fanless 12+ months will be cutting their respective cloths.

Not sure if I,m right but sure that when he signed in January it was a short term deal until the end of the season, either way he left by mutual consent to join the coaching staff at Ipswich we might even have received a bit of compensation.
