Cash bid for Conference striker
From 'fishy' site:
"Accrington Stanley have tabled an offer worth a five figure sum for a leading goalscorer in the Nationwide Conference, and are awaiting a response from his club." From BBC: "Accrington boss John Coleman has also lodged a cash bid for a striker from a Conference club." Anybody any idea's on who it is....a leading goalscorer surely means that he is one of the top goalscorers, i for one hope its Donaldson or Mackail-Smith :D Let the great debate begin... ;) |
Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
York have slapped £500.000 fee on Donaldson, so I would'nt think it will be him. What about C McDonald from Gravesend, he is in the top goals Conference League,
|
Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
Possible... but i would have thought it would have been a club that need the money more... and what with Dag & Red bieng top of the league, its unlikely that we will get Mackail-Smith.
Pity. |

Every other striker in the league has been linked with Posh since they came into the money.
They have got a few now, doubt they will sign another. :rolleyes: |
Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
I read on the Posh site that they had agreed terms with Dagenham for Mackail Smith and Blackett but at the last minute Mackail SMith pulled out becuase "his heart is with Dagenham." So i doubt it will be him or DOnaldosn because York rejected a £100k bid from Posh and we have only offered a five figure fee..So i hope its Charlie McDOnald, he's quality..

Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
Or Twiss... Morecambe could be tempted by a quick buck.
Whalley was... |
Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
Grant from Aldershot.

Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
I really dont think anyone is gonna up sticks and move accross the country at this level..... my guess would be someone closer to home... look in maybe a 150-200 mile radius
|
Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
Twiss from Morecambe....please. :)

absolutely no chance. Twissy has just signed a contract to the Summer of 2010. He is the difference between getting into the play-offs and making a minimum of £100,000 and not getting in. So why would we sell him for a 5 figure fee which could be £10,000!! Sammy does not sell his best players and Accy shouldnt have sold their best 2 players. |
Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
Personally....
Wouldn't want Twiss (Too fat/Lazy) McDonald (Injury Prone) Clare (Money Money Money) & most certainly NOT Grant who is plain old **** I vote Christie after Dale returned him to Kiddy he'll have a point to prove I'm sure:cool: PS Nice avatar Morecambe Red;) |
Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
24 hours on and no news...JIFFY- whats the latest?? :)
|
Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
Sky Sports news earlier today were mentioning it could be Twiss - please God it's not!!

You where expecting a hit TM? I am thinking.....well at least we tried....

Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
after speaking to a Morecambe Director at the match last night no bid has been made by Accrington or anyone else for Michael Twiss. He confirmed Twissy had signed on until summer 2010 and that he was not for sale to anyone.
The Morecambe Visitor today quoted Sammy Mac as saying one or two enquiries had been made for David McNiven but he didnt say who made them. |
Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
That 1 that were bangin em in for Leigh then went scotland or sumwhere and got fat?
Or is that sumone else? |
Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
that's him although he was fat to begin with

Two for the price of one?
BBC Website: Barnet manager Paul Fairclough has told strikers Giuliano Grazioli and Magno Vieira that they can leave on loan. Let's get a defender, shall we? |
Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
why????? Magno Vieira was phenomenal for Carlisle in their promtiona year and we all know what Grazioli can do. Graz must be about 55 now but the other one is only a young lad isn't he?
|
Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
see fishy site the striker was Donaldson our bid got rejected, not surprise really there after a six figure sum we offer a 5 figure sum and a player, the player john offerd could be worth nothing.
|
Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
if the move was designed to unsettle the player so that he demands to leave then fair do's, but as they had stated previously that somebody had offered £250, 000 and then slapped a ridiculous £500, 000 it was never gonna work was it?

???????????????WHO WASTHAT PLAYER??????????????????????????????? |
Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
I'd put my house on it that it was David Brown - not that I think he should go, quite the opposite but I did hear that David thinks he won't still be here at the end of this season and after the way he was messed about until we were desperate for another striker after Mangy got himself banned who could blame him

Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
Bidding for Donaldson? That was a bit silly wasn't it.
I think Magno Vieira & Grazioli would be great additions, but that would mean Mangan & Brown out for sure. For me, that would be a bit of good business as Mangan is pretty useless for us. Yes he's quick and fires up the team but 1) he doesn't score and 2) we've got Whalley who is faster and keeps a better level head than Mangan. I'd be sorry to see Browny go because he's a very professional player, in that even though he knows he's on his way out he's still giving his all and scoring for us. Whether that be proving a point or putting himself in the shop window, I think he's a very good player and would be sorry to see him leave. |

Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
Apparently a bid was made for Donaldson at York.

According to the BBC website, it was a cash and player offer (6 figures aswell:eek: ) but the club are dead set on keeping their hitman. We have also missed out on a central defender and the other striker for a 5 figure sum was rejected. Add to that Jacobson leaving aswell... what will happen next? :rolleyes: |
Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
A smaller squad.

Re: Cash bid for Conference striker

How is that going to work then? Seriously, your chairman and manager were having a right laugh. Firstly with the amount of money and player offered, and secondly, thinking that Donaldson would actually even think about coming to Accrington. I do hope, however, that your team stays up this season. Only so we can play you twice next season. And this time we might actually be able to get into the ground, eh? T'would be nice.;) |

Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
What a complete and utter waste of both Clubs' time. Are Coleman and Whalley completely stupid?
Bearing in mind that we dismissed out of hand a £100,000 bid from Peterborough 2 weeks ago, what exactly was the point of offering, firstly a 5 figure sum, and then later £110,000 - particularly when one of our directors has gone on record saying that we'd only accept a ridiculously high bid? I can only think that Whalley sees this as some kind of Google Page Ranking exercise. Of course, I'm sure Clayton was drooling at the thought of joining a Club who regularly draw crowds of less than 1,500, even though you've reached the highest position in your short history :p |
Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
Innit fun having the crack with conference fans again!
|
Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
Get used to it.
Meanwhile, we're just warming up with Football League wannabe's. ;) Seriously. I was mereley asking you lot why the Hell you think your club made this bid? Firstly, it's not enough. Secondly, he simply wouldn't come. He wants to better himself. Which, in my reckoning, leaves only three clubs currently in your division who he'd even think about joining. Do you not realise who we are? Thought not. You were non-league for way too long... :rolleyes: |
Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
Quote:
That'd make you the Cheeky Girls, right? :D Seriously though - have no idea why we made the bid. There was obviously no chance of success with it. Probably just trying to offload one of our players to be honest. |

Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
Personally I dont see no harm in asking - Coley was criticised on here for having no ambition a few days ago - whats more ambitious than trying to attract Donaldson into league football - coz Coley and the rest of us know for definate - he aint gonna get it at the KitKat. And Rafferz dont get too cocky coz when a club comes in for Donaldson with an offer that can match the greedy superpower of a chocolate football club you follow, he'll be off and youll be forever non league...

Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
How sweet to hear again fans from the Conference's self-deluding "bigger clubs" who we left fuming last season. Why don't they just type in green letters?:D

I'd like to know how we're "self-deluding". 11 years ago we were within a minute of what is now the Championship. 13 years or so ago, we were playing at Wembley, while you were watching your kids play cricket in the back garden. Or maybe watching Burnley? I hear that's a favourite of the Accy fans. Also how come we took so many fans down to yours they couldn't actually get in, and all you could muster was 350 Burnley fans and a man and his dog. I'm happy to continue this petty argument all day long because, as you well know, our Kit Kat factory is in such a bad state that there is no longer no work for me. What can a chocolate man do with himself? Can't go out in the rain, can't go out in the sunshine, can't ewen work anymore. |

You're self deluding because all your 'glory moments' you're referring to are in the past. Wake up and realise it's where you are now that counts. Seems like you lot are still believing that you don't actually belong in the conference cos you think your too good for it when in reality if you were too good for that league you wouldn't still be there!

Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
Transpires that the only formal bid we received from you was £25,000 + a player. You didn't even make a six-figure offer. A complete waste of fax paper.
|
Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
Would it really have mattered if the bid was £25,000 or £250,000 - it still would have been a waste of time cos as far as your club is concerned he's not for sale.
|
Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
We offered what we thought he was worth based on his performances against us last year. Did nowt so we offered nowt. Worth having to bolster the squad, but it is only this year he has had a purple patch and scored a few, albeit in a considerably weaker than average Conference.

What's the boy ever done? We made a bid and your club rejected it. Get over it. If you don't think he'd even consider coming to a club like stanley then why do you say that our bid has unsettled him?
Maybe he's bored with your demise and admiring our LEAGUE status from a far :D |

Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
He may want to join you in the summer if he wants to be the conference's top scorer next year.
To quote Clayton when he was infromed that you were interested in signing him " Ha, ha, ha, ha, haaaaaaaaaaaa, haaaaaaaaaaaa, No." |

What I don't understand is why these York fans are making such a big deal out of it, we put a bid in - it wasn't accepted - end of. I don't think any Stanley fans will be losing sleep over it, maybe they just like coming on our forum cos we are now the league club they think they still are :)
|
Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
Thats exactly what I said Accymad. Totally agree. We'll go elsewhere,pay less and uncover another diamond like Coley always does.
Scoring aint a problem we're something like the 3rd top scorers in the league it's keeping them out the other end that we need to sort out. What badge do your team have on their sleeves???? Oh that'll be a conference badge and Stanley players have Football League badges. Your a bunch of has beens get over it. :Banane49: :Banane49: :Banane49: :Banane49: :Banane49: :Banane49: :Banane49: :Banane49: :Banane49: :Banane49: :Banane49: :Banane49: |

Seriously, I think your poster who mentioned the defence is right. Whether the offer was serious or not, why bother for a striker when it's blatantly obvious it's the defence that needs strengthening? If that doesn't happen in the next two weeks, you're goner's. Back to where you belong! Oooh, couldn't resist putting that one in. it was like one of Claytons crosses. |

Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
Funny that you have to join our forum to convince yourself your club still have a purpose. Normally I'd say we'll do our talking on the pitch and beat your team but unfortunately as your not in the same league as us it isn't going to happen. Have York not got a forum so you can go and bore your own fans on there instead?

£500, 000!?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, that is quite possibly the most deranged and deluded thing I've ever heard in my life! How friggin' backwards are those Yorkies, eh? Gary Roberts is miles better than Donaldson, and he went for half that. Looks like he'll just have to wait for his contract to run, 'cos nobody would pay that for that clown. |

Aaron McLean was also miles better then Donadlson and he went for 250k. Half a million, your havin' a laugh!
