Yep, that just about sums him up or it did when he was a Shrewsbury, seem to remember their fans thought he was God's gift to football. Personally I didn't rate him then but don't know what he's been like at Crewe.

a mate of mine who's a shrewsbury fan used to love him when he was down there. good signing i reckon if we manage to pull it off. he's pretty similar to mcgivern, in that he's a nippy little striker who likes to get stuck in.

maccawozzagod · 27-12-2006, 14:56

played five games (7 as sub) this year scoring 3 goals, 24 years old (25 on new years day), fans favourite at Gresty Road for his whole hearted displays.
73 goals in 204 appearances for Shrewsbury and a former England Semi-pro interntaional. Seems to fit the bill of whats required but I reckon he'll be a greedy ****** with his wages. Never mind, get him on crap wages and top bonuses Eric and watch him shoot us to safety.

I'd also like to see Coley try to get Evil back. I dont care whether folk thought him a big time Charlie last time he was here, he scores goals, he bullies defenders and he is a crowd pleaser.

Still not keen on reading about transfer targets on other websites though, any press conference should be broadcast on our site first.

See this Lee McEvilly gave Wrexham the lead on 47 minutes after coming on as a sub...

We could do with this type of player, strong and powerful. Doubt we will get him though.

I wish we had Barry back. Excellent defensive midfielder, just what we need at the moment especially now Gary and Ian are on their way. Make our midfield stronger less pressure on the back four and less pressure on the team in general.

rumour was he'd be back in january and anyone at the grimsby game could see he had huge potential!!!

Oh well, looks like terry fearns on loan

I know perkins got sent off yesterday, is he still available from morecambe?

RossendaleRed · 27-12-2006, 15:57

Actually just found this article on fearns from Aug 2005 that i for one didnt know about

Fearns rejects move to Stanley

Aug 24, 2005, Midweek Visiter.
SOUTHPORT'S top striker Terry Fearns has said he wants to stay at Haig Avenue.

After recent speculation linking Peterborough with Fearns, Liam Watson revealed at the weekend that Accrington Stanley had made an official request to speak to the player.

Watson said: "I gave Terry permission to talk to John Coleman so he could decide if he wished to pursue his career at a club with full-time training

"Terry's initial reaction was that he wanted to stay with us and compete for his place. That's what I wanted to hear. I will never stop a player developing as long as we profit at the same time. Terry is tied here on a long contract and I have no need to sell."

The ball is now back in Accrington's court. See Friday's Visiter for any further developments

Has scored a lot of goals in his career, nearly 30 years old, could he cut it in league 2? I know he struggled in the conference, but that could have been due to the players around him and the service received..

Am i just convincing myself or am i expecting too much from Droylsdens centre forward?

well that was a week ago, maybe Coley will go back in with a bigger offer on personal terms. I doubt he went in with his best offer first.

DERBYSHIRE RED · 27-12-2006, 21:25

wish some one would go and look at a certain mark smith at my home club buxton top of the unibond 1st he is as good a striker than what we have got at the moment

Sorry!!

Luhe Rodgers is defo not coming to Stanley. Watch out tommorrow for an ex West Brom defender signing for us. Spoke to David Mannix Sat night offered a permanent deal but as yet undecided. A few other irons in the fire but no names as yet. Watch this space .

The juxtaposition of the words "David Mannix" and "permanent deal" would make me seriously pleased if he accepted subject his injury problems being behind him.

I saw him at Grimsby. The bloke stood out head and shoulders.

It would be great for both because Stanley should be a great shop window for his talents.
