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... ;)

Tommy McQueen 16-01-2007 09:15

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,

DanTheMonkey 16-01-2007 09:17

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.

Mackail-Smith linked with Peterborough

Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
 
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..

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
 
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.

Two for the price of one?

BBC Website:

Let's get a defender, shall we?

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?

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

Exactly, that was when he was playing in the Conference. He's only made eight starts for Barnet this season, and if he is not good enough for Barnet then surely he's not good enough for Stanley. Why are we chasing strikers ? We are the third highest scoring team in the league but we have the worst defence, surely we should be looking to tighten up the defence by signing a decent centre half.

shakermaker 18-01-2007 10:11

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.

The thing is, we have the quality here. We just need a defensive minded coach and a decent goalkeeping coach to get the best out of the defensive players.

Agreed. This is a recurring theme. Several people have noted that Rob Elliott is not the player he was last season. I'm sure that we are missing Andy Dibble's input.

You can coach somebody 24 hours a day and they won't improve. We have NOT got the quality in defence, we have played 28 league games, we have only had TWO clean sheets and we have conceded 52 goals in the other 26 games (average 2 per game), if you call that quality how many goals would a defence that you consider as bad have conceded by now. Face it, our defence is rubbish, no organisation and not much quality. We need a leader in defence, the sooner the better.

Take Bavs for example. Before Stanley he was a wasted talent & when he came here Andy Dibble brought out the best in him.
As soon as Dibs leaves it all goes arse over tits & Elliot is going downhill aswell.

And rejected.

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:

Unsettle a player at a club that is much, much bigger than yours?

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.;)

I said that you could coach somebody for 24 hours a day and they wouldn't improve. I didn't say that you could coach everybody and they wouldn't improve. People reach their peak where they cannot improve any more and then they have gone as far as they can go. I don't think any coaching will improve our defence, basically it needs replacing.

I'm not sure that we are talkin about coaching individuals, more about helping the defence to function as an organised unit. I can't agree that there is "no organisation", but the organisation could be improved - and that's where a good coach comes in. I think that both Leam Richardson and Michael Welch are good leaders in defence. I have not checked but I wonder how often we have kept the same back four in the 26 games you mention. Constant change is not helpful in creating good understanding.

tonker 18-01-2007 16:23

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

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.

The only thing that left us fuming was your prick of an assistant and Mr. Proctor Green, who somehow managed to get a job as linesman in a European semi final.

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.

thats why self deluding, yourselves, and Hereford, Exeter etc all seemed to think you were still that club and had a divine right to hog the top of the table. You've got to remember that you are no longer there and are only as good as you're league position. Which last season was worse than ours for all of you.

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.

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.

He may want to join you in the summer if he wants to be the conference's top scorer next year.

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.

Right. So since then you've been relegated twice while we've been promoted three times. And now you're a league below us, and not self-deluding ? And I thought the only way was up.

Then you can swap with us now, if you like. It's only going to happen come the 28th April when we've beaten Oxford and you've been consigned to relagation by whoever you're playing.

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.

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?

Sorry members if I spoiled your fun with those Yorkies but I don't suffer fools gladly and they were getting on my nerves! ;)

We are where we belong. And to be quite honest, I am mystified as to why the Club would bid for Donaldson. He's just a big thug they throw up front to help their long ball game, he's an absolute donkey.

I am delighted you decided to keep your Ben Thatcher/Peter Crouch/Ade Akinbiyi hybrid, cos he never impressed me one bit.

He's also a blatant diver, at least Gary was subtle...:)

Clayton Donaldson sent off today for violent conduct. Glad we didn't sign him now ;)

Maybe it was his one-man protest at not being allowed to join the biggest little club in the world :D

NLP today says we bid £25k plus a player!
york thought we were taking the the mickey!
he now has 1/2 million price tag!

with that sort of price on his head i reckon he will still be playing in the cnference next season!:D

Re: Cash bid for Conference striker
 
£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.

zayno14 22-01-2007 15:43

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

Mel Tottoh was better than Donaldson!



I heard that he was interested to start with cos we named an end after him, but reneged when told that it was to become named after somebody else.

HIBS boss John Collins today revealed the Easter Road outfit have snapped up York City's £500,000-rated striker Clayton Donaldson on a pre-contract deal.

The 6ft 1in hitman will join Collins' squad for the start of next season after agreeing a three-year deal with Hibs.
So York will not get a transfer fee, probably just something based upon his earnings. They will probably end up with less than the £25000 Stanley offered. What a shame.

Ooh sorry to hear that, it's a real shame! Serves em right for being so cocky about what he's worth :)

He IS a quality player, and no matter how much you say 'we dont want him' you cant complain with his goals per game ratio
