Tom Aldred

Returned from holiday last night . The first thing we get told is that Tom Aldred has left Accrington Stanley . Does anyone know if this is correct ?. I truly hope it is wrong , he was Player of the season last year , would be a shame if he has gone.

Dunno greeny, was told last night he'd gone to Oldham? but had no confirmation, so who knows?

If hes gone then understandable so i wish him all the best.

Somebody would have to be really desperate to take him now when they could sign him on a precontract and get him for free in the summer. Why spend money that you don't need to because he is good but not exceptionally good.

It doesn't make sense but that's nothing new where we are concerned.

Maybe he has been offered more than 1 precontract,so perhaps if a club really wanted him they have had to jump in,just a thought.

Could well be the case. It's what we need if we want money or they could just offer him it as a higher signing on fee.

The way things play out at the "safestorage stadium" who knows? I bet the sponsors were pleased with that announcement

On the live text last night Sam was informed that Tom had picked up a knock in training.

And if you believe that you have less sense than DAV!!

Off to Blackpool according to twitter this morning

If that's true about Blackpool - & it would make sense with Stevo being there - I really hope it works out for Tom, he deserves to play at a higher level but would worry about him going to a club in such turmoil

If he has gone to Blackpool I wish him well, However I can't see what would attract him to a club in such a mess. He needs to go to a better club.

I would have thought turmoil was a good description of Stanley !!!
